Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
After examining your nose and discussing your goals, the doctor runs the required checks to choose the right correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Surgery requires a full lab work-up beforehand: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation tests, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
Step-by-step surgical process
A personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing come first. The patient then goes through pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, and proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous) or classic general anaesthesia, selected according to complexity
- Access — the surgeon opts for the open approach (external cut on the columella) or the closed one (incisions only inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage work — performed using an ultrasonic piezo device, minimising trauma to tissue and vessels
- Forming the new nose — the surgeon removes excess tissue or adds a graft and reshapes the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum
- Sutures — with atraumatic, self-dissolving or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
All procedures happen in the clinic's inpatient unit; you stay there for one day once surgery is over
Recovery period
After surgery comes a recovery course — relief of swelling, monitoring of your nose and care tips. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, and you see the first results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Through the end of the year, a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is free. At this check-up the doctor reviews the rhinoplasty result, checks your recovery and answers any questions you have

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparation should begin 21 days before rhinoplasty for the surgery to be successful. Our plastic surgeon hands you the list of tests at the first visit.
Complete blood count, including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infection panel: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry: total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol
Blood clotting panel (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, antithrombin III)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) with report
Doppler ultrasound / duplex scan of the leg veins
Chest X-ray or fluorography with report
CT scan of the paranasal sinuses
After the full lab work-up — a physician's report confirming no contraindications to surgery
3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Drop swelling-causing foods such as salty, fatty, fried and spicy meals; discontinue medications affecting blood clotting (with your doctor's approval)
- Limit physical activity
- Hold off on cosmetic treatments that hurt the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Stock up on class 2 compression stockings before your hospital stay
- On surgery day, food and drink must end at least 6 hours before the time of the operation
- For elective surgery under general anaesthesia, patients with chronic conditions or regular specialist care need a specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery after nose surgery is just as important as the surgery itself. Proper recovery determines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result will be. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: the splints are taken out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days, with stitches removed alongside it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling fades gradually, yet the tip and bridge may remain swollen
- For a month, no workouts, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- After nose surgery, mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months
- The nose takes its final shape in 1–1.5 years
- Keep seeing your surgeon during this time

What not to do after rhinoplasty
Remove dressings or splints yourself
Take hot baths or use a tanning bed
Exercise or do heavy physical work
Smoke or drink alcohol for at least a month
Press on your nose, wear glasses or sleep face down
To accelerate recovery and get the ideal outcome after rhinoplasty, we advise
- Keep a regular rest and sleep routine
- Humidify the air indoors
- Take a course of microcurrent or ultrasound therapy.
- Follow the prescribed diet, avoid salty and spicy food
Complications and risk management
Although nose surgery is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, like any surgery it carries certain risks. To minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic provides thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Can arise in the first days, especially if restrictions are disregarded
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can result from removing too much tissue or from individual anatomy
Thick scarring
More common with open rhinoplasty and a tendency to keloids
Psychological disappointment
More common in patients with unrealistic expectations
How to avoid complications after rhinoplasty?
- Choose an experienced surgeon. The doctor's skill and experience are key to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes lab tests, CT, ECG, surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Never remove the dressing on your own or touch the nose; stay away from sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular surgeon appointments reveal the slightest deviations so they are fixed early.
- Mental readiness. Patients should know that the final result becomes visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if rhinoplasty is followed by difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed using modern technology, safe materials and continuous medical supervision, which minimises the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age range is 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by then and tissues still heal well. At an older age, surgery is possible with medical indications if your general health allows it
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Pre-op preparation includes plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. Anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking are stopped a week before surgery. The day before, eat lightly; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — a surgery changing the nose's look (an aesthetic objective) and improving its function in cases of impaired breathing.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
Both operations are often performed together, especially where a deviated septum meets aesthetic concerns, giving a harmonious look and full breathing again. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Possible effects, as with any operation, are swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and small asymmetry. City Medical Centre applies modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, and provides post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
The first improvements emerge with reduced swelling (2–3 weeks), though the final rhinoplasty result becomes clear in 1–1.5 years, once tissues are fully stable
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Splints or swelling may partly obstruct the nasal passages in the first days after surgery. Within 1–2 weeks full breathing usually returns, depending on the extent of the surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty makes facial features more harmonious and improves aesthetics without losing individuality. With 3D modelling you can see the predicted result in advance and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The cost varies with the extent of surgery and is finalised at the consultation: the doctor examines your nose and facial proportions, then names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery with general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by the doctor and a free post-surgery check-up. The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
The initial consultation at City Medical Centre is free of charge: the doctor examines your nose, reviews facial proportions and quotes the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and widely performed plastic surgeries, intended to reshape the nose in keeping with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work, not just a surgery to alter the nose's look, and it seeks an aesthetic ideal without damaging health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Fundamentally, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution. It treats congenital and acquired nasal deformities alike, for example those caused by a nasal injury. Common complaints are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also address the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Every patient receives an individual surgery plan that accounts for all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Performed under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours based on complexity. Two main approaches exist: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The open approach uses a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a complete view of every nasal structure. The closed approach works through incisions inside the nose, with no visible scars left.
The choice of technique is made by the surgeon based on your goals. Fixing an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge, for example, often needs the open approach.
Recovery and results
The nose needs looking after once surgery is done. An aluminium splint is put on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Its function is limited in the first days but recovers fast. The final rhinoplasty result becomes assessable in 1–1.5 years, when swelling is fully gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a significant step. Done well, it gives you a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works without flaws. The surgeon assesses every parameter in detail at the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Thanks to 3D modelling, you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Photos of rhinoplasty online don't tell the whole story. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot achieve for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Nose job in Chicago: methods, recovery and price
The aim is a nose that blends with your features and works flawlessly. Before anything is decided in Chicago, the surgeon evaluates nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining, then uses 3D modelling to show the future proportions. Rhinoplasty makes features more harmonious without losing individuality, and the predicted result is agreed with you in advance.
In the operating room, the anaesthetist uses TIVA or classic general anaesthesia depending on complexity. The surgeon opens access by the chosen technique, corrects bone and cartilage with a piezo device, reshapes the nose and closes with atraumatic or self-absorbing sutures. Packing and an external splint stabilise the new shape. For those in Chicago, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Chicago, the key figures are simple: $4,200 for the surgery package and $0 for the first consultation. The package covers the surgeon's work, one day in the inpatient unit, follow-up visits, dressings and a personal coordinator. The exact cost is agreed after the doctor examines your nose.
