Rhinoplasty in Ebute Ikorodu with 3D Modelling

Optimal age: 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by this time, and tissues still heal well. Where medically indicated, surgery can be performed at an older age if your general health allows

In essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution that corrects congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients frequently complain of a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The correction may also involve the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For each patient, an individual surgery plan is drawn up that takes into account every feature of the nose.

The surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and, depending on complexity, takes 1.5 to 3 hours. It has two main approaches: open and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty requires a small columella incision (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon full visibility of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through internal incisions and leaves no visible scars.

The surgeon chooses the technique based on your goals. For example, correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often requires the open approach.

Rhinoplasty — a surgery changing the nose's look (an aesthetic objective) and improving its function in cases of impaired breathing.
Septoplasty — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
Combining both surgeries is common, above all when a deviated septum comes with aesthetic concerns. It creates a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once

You prepare with plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. Stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking a week before surgery. Eat lightly the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery

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

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

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

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

Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on changes with your surgeon

Going for rhinoplasty is a big step. Well-done rhinoplasty results in a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon analyses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can view your future nasal proportions ahead of the surgery.

Browsing rhinoplasty photos online is not enough. Schedule a consultation to talk about what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in your case. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Under the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. We offer the first consultation free.

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.

General anaesthesia surgery, a one-day inpatient stay, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards. The clinic offers a lifetime guarantee on the result.

At City Medical Centre the first consultation costs nothing. The doctor checks your nose, assesses your facial proportions and gives the exact surgery cost.

After surgery the nose requires care. An aluminium splint goes on the outside and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is restricted during the first days but returns quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when swelling has fully subsided.
