Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and runs the necessary checks to choose the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Needed before surgery: a full lab work-up with complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon carries out rhinoplasty using the chosen technique under local or general anaesthesia, changing the nose's shape
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 — we use TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, matched to 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 work — performed using an ultrasonic piezo device, minimising trauma to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — surplus tissue is taken away or a graft is placed; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material is used
- Fixation — packing and an external splint are placed to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
Procedures are carried out in the clinic's inpatient unit. Following surgery, you stay one day there
Recovery period
Following surgery, you complete a course of recovery: swelling relief, nose monitoring, care advice. On average full healing needs about 4 months; the first visible results appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

Preparing for nose surgery
For the surgery to go well, begin preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon gives you a list of tests at your first visit.
Full blood count (ESR, differential and platelets included)
Urinalysis
Infection markers: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, antibodies to Treponema pallidum
Blood type and Rh factor

- Limit physical activity
- No skin-damaging cosmetic treatments, for example scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Ahead of your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- Anyone with chronic conditions or under a specialist's regular care must get clearance from that specialist for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Rehabilitation after nose surgery carries the same weight as the surgery itself. The right recovery defines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre it is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- During the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is observed in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- Day 7: splints come out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days; stitches come out on day 14 with the splint
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling recedes gradually; the tip and bridge may still look 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
- 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

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
Possible during the first days, especially if you ignore the restrictions
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can be caused by excessive tissue removal 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. A skilled, experienced doctor is key to a safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes testing, CT, ECG and examination by surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Leave the dressing for the doctor to remove, don't touch your nose; skip sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Psychological readiness. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: contact your doctor right away if you notice difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is carried out with modern technology, safe materials and ongoing medical supervision to minimise the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
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 — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
When a patient has a deviated septum along with aesthetic concerns, both surgeries are often combined. This gives a harmonious look and brings back full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any operation carries possible swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. To keep risks minimal, City Medical Centre employs modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
When swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), first improvements are visible; the final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, after full tissue stabilisation
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Early after surgery the nasal passages may be partially blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing typically comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
There are no external scars after closed rhinoplasty, since the incisions are inside. In open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar is left on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and over time it fades almost completely. Our doctors rely on microsurgical techniques and quality sutures for minimal scarring
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty creates more harmonious facial features and better aesthetics without erasing individuality. Via 3D modelling you can view the predicted outcome in advance and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Rhinoplasty price at City Medical Centre: $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation costs nothing.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Cost is based on the extent of surgery and is fixed at the consultation, where the doctor gives the exact price after assessing your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by a doctor, a free check-up post-surgery. The clinic backs the result with a lifetime guarantee.
How much is a consultation?
First consultation at City Medical Centre — free. The doctor looks at your nose, analyses facial proportions and tells you the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and delicate plastic surgeries, which aims to reshape the nose to suit the individual proportions of the nose and the face overall. Modern rhinoplasty is not only about changing the nose's appearance but is complex surgical work to reach an aesthetic ideal with no harm to health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At bottom, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution, correcting both congenital and acquired nasal deformities — for example, after a nasal injury. Patients often seek help for a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. It can also correct the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is designed for each patient individually, taking into account all the features of their nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed with the patient under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, according to complexity. The two main approaches are open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty means a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), offering the surgeon a full view of the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty relies on incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
The surgeon picks the technique to match your goals. Say, correcting an upturned nose or complex remodelling of the nasal bones and bridge frequently requires the open approach.
Recovery and results
Following surgery, the nose requires care: an aluminium splint sits on it and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is limited in the early days but quickly recovers. Assessment of the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, after swelling has fully subsided.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-done rhinoplasty means the new nose blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't rely only on rhinoplasty photos from the internet. Book a consultation to find out what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot offer you. Reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities is what we specialise in.

Rhinoplasty in Denver from consultation to final shape
This is one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries. It suits adults who want to correct the shape of the nose, whether the issue is congenital or appeared after an injury, and those with impaired nasal breathing. If you are from Denver and unhappy with the outcome of an earlier operation, secondary rhinoplasty is also an option after at least a year.
Recovery has early, middle and late phases. During days 1–3 you breathe through your mouth, and swelling and bruising may appear. Internal splints come out on day 7; the aluminium splint and stitches are removed by day 14. For a month, avoid exercise, saunas, pools and sun, and sleep on your back half-sitting. Patients from Denver get care advice at every stage.
The consultation costs nothing and gives a realistic forecast: facial proportions are assessed, a 3D model of the future nose is shown and a personal surgery and recovery plan is drawn up. After that, the fee for rhinoplasty is $4,200 with inpatient care, dressings and follow-ups included. Patients from Denver can book via the form or message us in any messenger.
