Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor evaluates your nose, listens to what you want and performs the checks needed to find the most suitable correction technique
Pre-surgery check-up
Pre-surgery, you need complete lab testing: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, a chest X-ray and a sinus X-ray
The surgery
Rhinoplasty is done by the surgeon with the method chosen, under local or general anaesthesia, to correct the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with an individual consultation, a 3D model of the nose and a review of the septum and breathing. Following pre-op preparation, which includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient undergoes surgery.
- Anaesthesia — classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), chosen by complexity
- Access — depending on the surgeon's choice, open (external incision on the columella) or closed (all incisions internal)
- Correction of bone and cartilage — with ultrasonic piezo equipment for the least trauma to tissue and vessels
- Forming the new nose — tissue is trimmed or a graft is inserted; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped as planned
- Sutures — made with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic material
- Fixation — an external splint and packing are used to keep the shape stable
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
A free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is available until the end of the year. During the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Nose surgery recovery is as significant as the surgery itself, since proper recovery sets how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely watched and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient remains in the inpatient unit under observation for 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: splints stay in the nostrils and you breathe by mouth
- Swelling shows up; congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: splints are removed. You keep the aluminium splint up to 14 days; stitches are taken out with it 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
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Mild nasal congestion may remain for 1–1.5 months post-surgery
- 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 speed up recovery and get an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we recommend
- 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
May occur in the first days, especially if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May occur with excess tissue removal or unique 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 surgeon's skill and experience are what make rhinoplasty safe.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Involves tests, CT, ECG and checks by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take the dressing off or touch your nose yourself; steer clear of sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Emotional readiness. The patient should accept that the final result emerges in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if breathing is hard, pain is severe, fever is high or the shape changes after rhinoplasty, get in touch with your doctor straight away.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
Ideally, patients are 18 to 45: the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. When there are medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation means plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, a chest X-ray, and nasal X-ray or CT imaging. A week before surgery, cut out anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Eat light the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation that modifies the nose's appearance (aesthetic purpose) and improves function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical septum correction aimed at normal breathing, while the outer contour of the nose is not changed.
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 carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As in any surgery, possible effects include swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre reduces risks through 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?
Partial blockage of the nasal passages by splints or swelling is possible in the first days after surgery. Breathing normally returns in full within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
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 makes the face more harmonious and improves its aesthetics, without losing what makes you individual. Using 3D modelling, you see the expected result in advance and agree on changes with the surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Under the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. We offer the first consultation free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
How much it costs depends on the extent of surgery and is decided at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after studying your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day spent in the inpatient unit, ongoing doctor monitoring and a free post-op check-up. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.

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 its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Depending on complexity, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. There are two main approaches — open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is based on a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which lets the surgeon view all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose, without visible scars.
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
The nose needs care after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Nasal function is limited in the first days but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides.
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.
Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Nose reshaping in Duisburg: a practical guide
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Duisburg is built around their anatomy and wishes.
Everything starts with a consultation and nose modelling: the doctor assesses your anatomy, discusses wishes and chooses the correction method. Patients from Duisburg then complete a lab work-up — blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray and a CT scan of the sinuses. Surgery lasts 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by one day in the inpatient unit.
One price, $4,200, applies to open and closed techniques, tip work and septorhinoplasty alike. It includes general anaesthesia, a day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards, and the clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result. Duisburg residents can start with a free consultation: the doctor examines the nose and names the exact figure.
