Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor inspects your nose, clarifies your wishes and runs all required checks to determine the best method of correction
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
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 opens with a tailored consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and a septum and breathing assessment. Pre-op preparation comes next, with tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, after which the patient goes into surgery.
- Anaesthesia — based on complexity, either classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia)
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Correcting bone and cartilage — an ultrasonic piezo device keeps trauma to tissue and vessels minimal
- Shaping the new nose — surplus tissue is taken away or a graft is placed; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — closed using atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic threads
- Fixation — packing and a splint on the outside secure the new shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures happen in the clinic's inpatient unit; you stay there for one day once surgery is over
Recovery period
Recovery after surgery follows a set course — easing swelling, monitoring the nose and advising on care. It takes about 4 months on average to heal fully, and the first results are visible 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

Preparing for nose surgery
For a successful operation, preparation starts 21 days ahead of rhinoplasty. During the first visit our plastic surgeon gives you a test list.
CBC (complete blood count) with ESR, differential, platelets
Urinalysis
Infectious disease tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry (total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; total, direct and indirect bilirubin; ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol)
Coagulation 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
- Give up foods that lead to swelling — salty, fatty, fried and spicy; pause medications that affect clotting (agree on it with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Don't use skin-damaging cosmetic treatments: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Stock up on class 2 compression stockings before your hospital stay
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- Patients with chronic conditions or those regularly seen by a specialist need a specialist's approval for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Post-operative recovery is every bit as important as the nose surgery itself. Proper recovery determines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre, recovery is tightly monitored and has three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For 24 hours following rhinoplasty, the patient remains under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling occurs, and congestion or bruising is possible
- Day 7: splints are extracted. The aluminium splint is kept up to 14 days; on day 14 it is removed with the stitches
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Little by little swelling subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay puffy
- 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

Late phase
- Slight congestion is possible for 1–1.5 months after nose surgery
- The final shape of the nose forms over 1–1.5 yearsStay under your surgeon's care all 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 recover faster and achieve 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
Nose surgery is among the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, yet like any surgery it has certain risks. To reduce the likelihood of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic offers 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
Can arise in the first days, especially if restrictions are disregarded
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible 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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes tests, CT, ECG, exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Avoid removing the dressing yourself or touching your nose; no sport, sun, alcohol or cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. By visiting the surgeon regularly, small deviations are caught and fixed early.
- Mental readiness. Patients should know that the final result becomes visible 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 uses modern technology and safe materials, with constant medical supervision minimising the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
18 to 45 is the optimal age. By this age the nose has formed completely, while tissues still heal well. With medical indications, older patients can have surgery if their general health allows
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 change the appearance of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery on the nasal septum to bring back normal breathing, leaving the outer contour of the nose unchanged.
Often both surgeries are combined, especially when a patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This gives a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that tackles both tasks at the same time
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with every surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary trouble breathing and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre uses up-to-date techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to reduce risks, together with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
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
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
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
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 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
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Thanks to the current discount, City Medical Centre rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. First consultation free of charge.
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?
The surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, medical monitoring and a free follow-up check-up. The result comes with a lifetime guarantee from the clinic.
How much is a consultation?
The initial consultation at City Medical Centre is free of charge: the doctor examines your nose, reviews facial proportions and quotes the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and widely performed plastic surgeries, intended to reshape the nose in keeping with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work, not just a surgery to alter the nose's look, and it seeks an aesthetic ideal without damaging health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is, at heart, a comprehensive solution. It fixes both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose — for instance, following a nasal injury. Patients frequently worry about a dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can also be corrected. The surgery plan is built individually for each patient, taking every feature of the nose into account.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, depending on how complex it is. Surgeons use two main approaches, open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. With open rhinoplasty, a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) lets the surgeon see all nasal structures in full. With closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are inside the nose and no visible scars remain.
The choice of technique is made by the surgeon based on your goals. Fixing an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge, for example, often needs the open approach.
Recovery and results
Once surgery is over, the nose needs care. It gets an aluminium splint on the outside and special silicone splints within. For the first days nasal function is limited, though it comes back quickly. The final rhinoplasty result is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the swelling fully subsides.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step to take. A properly done rhinoplasty makes the new nose blend perfectly with your features and work flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon carefully assesses every parameter: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With the help of 3D modelling you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Rhinoplasty in Frankfurt am Main: techniques, stages and cost
Many people consider a nose job because of a hump, a wide bridge or a tip they want to refine; others because they cannot breathe freely. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetics and function. For residents of Frankfurt am Main, it is worth knowing that bone and cartilage are corrected with an ultrasonic piezo device, which keeps trauma to tissue and vessels to a minimum.
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 Frankfurt am Main, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Frankfurt am Main, look at what is included. Here $4,200 is the full figure for the operation with follow-up visits, dressings, inpatient stay and coordinator support, plus a lifetime guarantee on the result. Apply before the end of the year and the consultation is on the clinic. Fill in the short form to get started.
