Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your nose is assessed, your wishes are discussed and the needed checks are done so the doctor can pick the optimal correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Surgery requires a full lab work-up beforehand: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation tests, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
With the chosen method and under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon performs the rhinoplasty and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with a personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. After pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient goes to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), depending on the case's complexity
- Access — the surgeon decides between open (incision outside, on the columella) and closed (all incisions within the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Shaping the new nose — the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped, removing excess tissue or adding a graft
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- Fixation — packing plus an external splint keep the shape stable
Inpatient stay
Each procedure is performed in the inpatient unit of the clinic. After surgery, your stay lasts one day
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
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

Preparing for nose surgery
For the surgery to go well, begin preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon gives you a list of tests at your first visit.
Complete blood count plus ESR, differential and platelet count
Urinalysis
Infection panel: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and 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

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
- Drop swelling-causing foods such as salty, fatty, fried and spicy meals; discontinue medications affecting blood clotting (with your doctor's approval)
- 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
- Purchase class 2 compression stockings beforehand for the inpatient stay
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- Have chronic conditions or regular specialist care? Then you need a specialist's permission for elective surgery with general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Healing after nose surgery is no less important than the surgery itself. The final result's aesthetics and harmony depend on proper recovery. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely supervised and has three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- After rhinoplasty the patient is kept under observation in the inpatient unit for the first 24 hours
- Days 1–3: you breathe by mouth while splints sit in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- Day 7: the splints are removed. The aluminium splint remains up to 14 days; stitches are removed on day 14 along with it
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Little by little swelling subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay puffy
- During one month: no sport, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or 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
To make recovery faster and reach an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- 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 it is among the most popular and well-established aesthetic operations, nose surgery, like any surgery, has certain risks. Our clinic reduces the chance of complications after rhinoplasty through 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 happen due to excess 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 expertise and experience are vital for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Comprises tests, CT, ECG and exams by 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.
- Follow-up visits. Seeing the surgeon regularly helps spot the smallest deviations and correct them early.
- Mental readiness. Patients should know that the final result becomes visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if rhinoplasty is followed by difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is carried out with modern technology, safe materials and ongoing medical supervision to minimise the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age is from 18 to 45, when the nose is fully developed and tissues heal well. With medical indications, an older patient can have surgery if general health permits
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
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 — surgical correction of the nasal septum to restore normal breathing, without changing the outer contour of the nose.
It is common to combine both surgeries, especially with a deviated septum plus aesthetic concerns. The outcome is a harmonious look and restored full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go
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?
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?
Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions, so nothing shows on the outside. Open rhinoplasty results in a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that almost completely fades with time. Our doctors keep scars minimal with microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
With rhinoplasty, facial features gain harmony and aesthetics improve, while individuality stays intact. 3D modelling allows you to view the predicted result ahead of time and settle the changes with your surgeon
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.

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?
Essentially, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects congenital as well as acquired nasal deformities, such as those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or an overly wide nose often troubles patients. Correction may also focus on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Each patient's surgery plan is made individually, considering all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
The surgeon matches the technique to your goals. Correction of an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nose's bones and bridge, for example, often demands the open approach.
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?
Deciding on rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-performed rhinoplasty gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation, the surgeon examines each parameter in detail — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling to show your future nasal proportions before the surgery 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.

Nose reshaping in Hamburg: a practical guide
Rhinoplasty, or nose job, reshapes the nose to fit the individual proportions of the face. It corrects congenital and acquired deformities, including changes after a nasal injury. Patients from Hamburg most often ask about removing a dorsal hump, narrowing an overly wide nose, refining the tip or correcting the nostrils. Every surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.
Safety depends on each step. Full diagnostics include tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist. After surgery, do not remove dressings or splints yourself, press on your nose, wear glasses or sleep face down. Regular follow-up visits catch small deviations early. People from Hamburg are advised to contact the doctor right away in case of severe pain, fever or breathing difficulty.
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. Hamburg residents can start with a free consultation: the doctor examines the nose and names the exact figure.
