Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor looks at your nose, goes over your wishes and orders the necessary checks to decide on the best way to correct it
Pre-surgery check-up
Before surgery you need a full lab work-up: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with a personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. After pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient goes to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (anaesthesia given intravenously) or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity
- Access — the surgeon selects the open technique (an external incision on the columella) or the closed one (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Forming the new nose — the surgeon removes excess tissue or adds a graft and reshapes the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — packing plus an external splint keep the shape stable
Inpatient stay
Each procedure is performed in the inpatient unit of the clinic. After surgery, your stay lasts one day
Recovery period
Once surgery is over, a recovery course follows: reducing swelling, monitoring the nose and giving care advice. Full healing averages about 4 months, with visible results first seen after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Before the year ends, you can have a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. During the check-up the doctor assesses the rhinoplasty result, tracks recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Start preparing for rhinoplasty 21 days in advance for a successful surgery. At the first visit you receive a list of tests from our plastic surgeon.
Complete blood count (including ESR, differential, platelets)
Urinalysis
Tests for HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry, covering total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total/direct/indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl and cholesterol

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
- Give up foods that lead to swelling — salty, fatty, fried and spicy; pause medications that affect clotting (agree on it with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Pass on cosmetic treatments that damage the skin, e.g. scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Before you're admitted, get a pair of class 2 compression stockings
- On surgery day, food and drink must end at least 6 hours before the time of the operation
- Have chronic conditions or regular specialist care? Then you need a specialist's permission for elective surgery with general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery following nose surgery is equally as important as the surgery. How aesthetic and harmonious the end result becomes depends on proper recovery. City Medical Centre follows recovery closely, dividing it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient spends the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe orally, as the nostrils contain splints
- Swelling forms; you may have nasal congestion and bruising
- Day 7: splints out. The aluminium splint remains for up to 14 days; stitches and splint both come off on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Little by little swelling subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay puffy
- Avoid for a month: exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths, sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery you may feel mild congestion
- The nose takes its final shape in 1–1.5 years
- Keep seeing your surgeon during this time

Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery you may feel mild congestion
- Final nose shape is reached in 1–1.5 yearsRemain under your surgeon's supervision in this period
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 make recovery faster and reach an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- 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
Even though rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after and established aesthetic procedures, it involves certain risks like every surgery. That is why our clinic provides thorough preparation before surgery and monitoring afterwards to minimise complications.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
In the first days this may occur, especially if restrictions are neglected
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May arise from excessive removal of tissue or 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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Involves tests, CT, ECG and checks by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Keep your hands off the nose and the dressing; avoid sport, the sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Check-up visits. Seeing your surgeon regularly catches the tiniest deviations and corrects them in time.
- Emotional readiness. The patient should accept that the final result emerges 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 best age range is 18 to 45: the nose has fully formed and tissues still heal well. For medical indications, surgery can take place at an older age if your overall health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
It is common to combine both surgeries, especially with a deviated septum plus aesthetic concerns. The outcome is a harmonious look and restored full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, it can involve swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre minimises risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus 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?
During the first days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. Breathing is usually fully restored within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
The closed method keeps all incisions inside, leaving no scars outside. The open method leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) which fades almost completely in time. Our doctors minimise scars through microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty balances facial features and improves aesthetics while preserving individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result early and discuss and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
At City Medical Centre, rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 thanks to the current discount. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, with the goal of reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Rhinoplasty today is complex surgical work rather than just a change in how the nose looks, aimed at an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution by nature. It corrects nasal deformities, whether congenital or acquired, e.g. after a nasal injury. Patients are frequently unhappy with a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can be the focus of correction too. Every patient gets a surgery plan created individually, considering all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open and closed. The open technique involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon a full view of all structures of the nose. The closed technique is performed through incisions within the nose and leaves no scars that can be seen.
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 must be cared for after surgery. An aluminium splint is applied to the nose, and special silicone splints are inserted inside. The nose works in a limited way in the first days but recovers quickly. In 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides, the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a major step. When rhinoplasty is done well, the new nose blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. During the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With 3D modelling, you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Choosing rhinoplasty in Columbus
Modern nose surgery is more than a cosmetic change: it is complex work aimed at an aesthetic result without harming health. For those in Columbus with breathing problems as well as aesthetic concerns, septorhinoplasty combines septum correction and reshaping in one operation. That way the look becomes harmonious and full nasal breathing is restored at the same time.
Some details are easy to miss. Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for the hospital stay, each test must be on a separate form with a stamp and signature, and chronic conditions require a specialist's clearance. After the operation, microcurrent or ultrasound therapy and a diet without salty or spicy food help speed recovery. This applies to all Columbus residents.
Budgeting for rhinoplasty is straightforward: $4,200 covers the surgeon's work, the stay in the inpatient unit, check-ups and dressings, and a dedicated coordinator. There is no separate bill for the first consultation. For Columbus patients, this is the moment to ask about timing, recovery and contraindications and receive clear answers before committing. The consultation is non-binding.
