Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your doctor assesses the nose, discusses what you'd like and conducts the necessary checks to choose the best correction approach
Pre-surgery check-up
Ahead of surgery, a full lab work-up is needed — complete blood count, blood biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
With the chosen method and under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs the rhinoplasty and reshapes the nose
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 — depending on complexity, TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or conventional general anaesthesia
- Access — depending on the surgeon's choice, open (external incision on the columella) or closed (all incisions internal)
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — placed with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic materials
- Fixation — packing and an external splint hold the shape in place
Inpatient stay
Procedures are carried out in the clinic's inpatient unit. Following surgery, you stay one day there
Recovery period
After surgery you go through a recovery course — swelling relief, nose monitoring and care advice. On average, full healing takes about 4 months, and first visible results appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until the end of the year, our plastic surgeon will see you for a free post-op consultation. The check-up covers evaluating the rhinoplasty result, monitoring recovery and answering all your questions

3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Exclude salty, fatty, fried and spicy food, which causes swelling; stop any medications that influence clotting (coordinate with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Avoid cosmetic treatments that damage the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- For your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings in advance
- On the day of your surgery, finish eating and drinking at least 6 hours ahead of the scheduled time
- With chronic conditions or ongoing specialist care, you need clearance from a specialist for elective surgery under 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
- After rhinoplasty the patient is kept under observation in the inpatient unit for the first 24 hours
- Days 1–3: you use your mouth to breathe, with splints in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- Day 7: splint removal. The aluminium splint stays on up to 14 days; on day 14 the stitches and splint are removed together
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be swollen
- For one month: avoid exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and 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 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
As with any surgery, nose surgery carries certain risks, even though it is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures. Our clinic offers thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring to minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May happen in the first few days, mainly when restrictions are broken
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
A possibility with 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. The key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- 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 surgeon check-ups identify minor deviations early and correct them.
- Psychological readiness. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: seek your doctor immediately if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or any shape change after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed under constant medical supervision, with modern technology and safe materials, reducing 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?
To prepare, you'll have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Light meals the day before; nothing to eat 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
Often the two procedures are joined, especially if the patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This brings a harmonious appearance and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry can occur, as after any surgery. City Medical Centre minimises these risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, 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?
The nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling in the first days post-surgery. Full breathing tends to return within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and the extent of surgery
Will there be visible scars?
In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are internal, so no external scars remain. Open rhinoplasty leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that fades almost completely with time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scarring minimal
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 at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The cost is set at the consultation and depends on the extent of surgery; the exact price is named by the doctor after an exam of your nose and facial proportions.
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 first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, assesses facial proportions and names the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, aimed at reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change how the nose looks, but complex surgical work to achieve 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?
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.
Technique is chosen by the surgeon in line with your goals. The open approach is often necessary, for example, when correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.
Recovery and results
Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Deciding on rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-performed rhinoplasty gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation, the surgeon examines each parameter in detail — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling to show your future nasal proportions before the surgery is performed.
Looking up rhinoplasty photos online is only a start. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities.

Rhinoplasty in Dortmund: techniques, stages and cost
A nose that fits the face changes the whole impression while keeping you recognisable. That is the principle behind rhinoplasty: correcting the hump, width, tip or nostrils in line with facial proportions. People in Dortmund who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
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 Dortmund, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
Rhinoplasty is priced at $4,200 whatever the technique. That sum brings together surgery under general anaesthesia, one day of inpatient care, doctor monitoring and post-op visits with dressings. The plastic surgeon confirms the exact cost during a free first consultation, after examining your nose. To arrange yours, patients from Dortmund send a request or write to a coordinator in a messenger.
