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
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
Under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the selected method and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty begins with an individual consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an evaluation of the septum and breathing. Once pre-op preparation is complete — tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations — the patient proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (anaesthesia given intravenously) or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity
- Access — the surgeon opts for the open approach (external cut on the columella) or the closed one (incisions only inside the nose)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — with an ultrasonic piezo instrument for minimal injury to tissues and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue comes out or a graft goes in; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are remodelled
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — an external splint and packing are used to keep the shape stable
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
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 year-end, our plastic surgeon offers a free post-op consultation. The doctor evaluates your rhinoplasty result at the check-up, monitors how recovery is going and answers all your questions

Urinalysis
Tests for HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor

3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Remove swelling-promoting foods from your diet: salty, fatty, fried, spicy; stop medicines that affect blood clotting (check with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Do not have skin-damaging cosmetic procedures such as scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for your stay
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before 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
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: breathing is through the mouth, with splints in the nostrils
- Swelling occurs, and congestion or bruising is possible
- Day 7: splints come out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days; stitches come out on day 14 with the splint
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling gradually reduces, although the tip and bridge can stay 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
- Some mild congestion may be felt 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
If you want faster recovery and an ideal rhinoplasty result, 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
Possible during the first days, especially if you ignore the restrictions
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 key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes lab tests, CT, ECG, surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't remove the dressing on your own and keep off your nose; no sport, sun, alcohol or 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.
- Psychological readiness. The patient needs to understand the final result appears in 1–1.5 years.
Important: contact your doctor right away if you notice difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is done with up-to-date technology and safe materials under constant medical supervision, keeping complication risk to a minimum.

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?
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 — a procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical septum correction aimed at normal breathing, while the outer contour of the nose is not changed.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry are possible. City Medical Centre uses modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Early improvements become visible when swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); the final result of rhinoplasty is judged in 1–1.5 years, after tissues fully stabilise
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?
Incisions in closed rhinoplasty are inside, which means no external scars. With the open approach, a barely visible columella scar (the bridge between the nostrils) remains and fades almost completely over time. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures let our doctors keep scars minimal
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty harmonises facial features and enhances aesthetics without sacrificing individuality. Thanks to 3D modelling, you preview the predicted result and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
City Medical Centre offers rhinoplasty for $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The final cost depends on the scope of surgery and is set at the consultation, with the doctor naming the exact price after examining 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?
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) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, designed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and face as a whole. Today's rhinoplasty is not simply about changing the nose's appearance; it is complex surgical work that pursues an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Fundamentally, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution. It treats congenital and acquired nasal deformities alike, for example those caused by a nasal injury. Common complaints are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also address the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Every patient receives an individual surgery plan that accounts for all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
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.
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 must be cared for after surgery. An aluminium splint is applied to the nose, and special silicone splints are inserted inside. The nose works in a limited way in the first days but recovers quickly. In 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides, the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is an important step. Well-executed rhinoplasty means a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The surgeon reviews every parameter in detail during the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We rely on 3D modelling so you can preview your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't stop at rhinoplasty photos online. Book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty is and isn't able to do for you. Our specialty is the correction of external nasal deformities and reshaping of the nose.

Nose job in Genoa: methods, recovery and price
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 Genoa, 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.
First visible results appear after about two weeks, and full healing takes around four months on average. The nose settles into its final shape over 1–1.5 years, so seeing your surgeon during this period matters. Until the end of the year, Genoa patients can have a free post-op consultation where the doctor evaluates the outcome, monitors recovery and answers questions.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Genoa, the key figures are simple: $4,200 for the surgery package and $0 for the first consultation. The package covers the surgeon's work, one day in the inpatient unit, follow-up visits, dressings and a personal coordinator. The exact cost is agreed after the doctor examines your nose. Leave a request to book.
