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
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
Using the selected method, the surgeon performs rhinoplasty under general or local anaesthesia and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
First comes a one-to-one consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of breathing and the septum. Pre-op preparation follows — tests, a CT scan and consultations with specialists — and then the patient has surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — the surgeon picks the open method (external columella incision) or the closed method (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — the ultrasonic piezo device keeps tissue and vessel trauma to a minimum
- Shaping the new nose — the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped, removing excess tissue or adding a graft
- Sutures — closed using atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic threads
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold the new shape
Inpatient stay
Every procedure takes place in the clinic's inpatient unit. You stay there for one day after surgery
Recovery period
A recovery course follows surgery, covering swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and care guidance. Healing is usually complete in about 4 months, with first visible 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

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty is key to a successful surgery. At your first visit, our plastic surgeon will hand you a list of tests.
Full blood count (ESR, differential and platelets included)
Urinalysis
Infection screening: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemistry panel (total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin — total, direct, indirect — ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol)
Clotting tests — Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, antithrombin III
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
- Skip salty, fatty, fried and spicy food that causes swelling; stop blood-clotting-affecting medications (discuss this with your doctor first)
- Limit physical activity
- Hold off on cosmetic treatments that hurt the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Buy class 2 compression stockings in advance for your hospital stay
- On the day of surgery, have nothing to eat or drink for at least 6 hours before your slot
- 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
The surgery is only half the story — recovery after nose surgery is just as important. Proper healing defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result will be. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely across 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: mouth breathing, with splints placed in the nostrils
- Swelling shows up; congestion and bruising are possible
- 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
- 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
- Slight congestion is possible for 1–1.5 months after nose 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 shorten recovery and obtain an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we advise
- 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
Can appear in the first days, particularly if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can occur 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 doctor's skill and experience are key to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Tests, CT, ECG, plus exams by the surgeon and the 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.
- Follow-up visits. Regular check-ins with the surgeon detect even minor deviations and address them early.
- Psychological preparation. The patient should be aware the end result shows in 1–1.5 years.
Important: in case of breathing difficulty, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape after rhinoplasty, reach your doctor without delay.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision, minimising 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?
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 to transform the nose's appearance (an aesthetic aim) and improve how it works if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — a surgical fix for the nasal septum that restores normal breathing without changing how the nose looks outside.
The two surgeries are frequently done together, especially for patients with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This achieves a harmonious look and full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that solves both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing difficulties and slight asymmetry are possible, as with any surgery. To minimise risks, City Medical Centre relies on modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, along with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
First changes show as swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); however, the final rhinoplasty outcome is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the tissues stabilise completely
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the early days after the operation, splints or swelling may partially block the nasal passages. Breathing usually recovers fully within 1–2 weeks, depending on the scope 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?
Through rhinoplasty, facial features become more harmonious and aesthetics improve, with individuality preserved. 3D modelling shows the predicted result in advance so you and your surgeon can agree on changes
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 under the current discount. The initial 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?
Operation under general anaesthesia, one inpatient day, the doctor's monitoring and a free check-up after the operation. A lifetime guarantee on the result is given by the clinic.
How much is a consultation?
There is no charge for the first consultation at City Medical Centre. The doctor examines the nose, assesses facial proportions and names the surgery's exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and most delicate plastic surgeries, aimed at a nose shape that matches the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work — not just changing the nose's appearance — that strives for 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?
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
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.
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.

Choosing rhinoplasty in El Paso
Who is a candidate? The optimal age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues heal well; with medical indications, older patients can also be considered if health allows. Indications include asymmetric cartilage or nostrils and significant breathing problems. Anyone researching rhinoplasty in El Paso should know the contraindications too: decompensated chronic disease, skin damage or inflammation in the area.
Here is the route in short: consultation with a 3D forecast, a full lab work-up confirming there are no contraindications, the operation, a day in the inpatient unit and then a recovery course with swelling relief and nose monitoring. Mild congestion may persist for 1–1.5 months. Nasal breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks for patients in El Paso.
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 El Paso send a request or write to a coordinator in a messenger.
