Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
To choose the best correction method, the doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and carries out the necessary checks
Pre-surgery check-up
You must complete full lab testing before surgery: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, X-rays of the chest and sinuses
The surgery
Rhinoplasty is carried out by the surgeon using the agreed method, under local or general anaesthesia, to reshape the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with an individual consultation, a 3D model of the nose and a review of the septum and breathing. Following pre-op preparation, which includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient undergoes surgery.
- Anaesthesia — general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), depending on the case's complexity
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- New nose shaping — extra tissue is removed or a graft added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are given a new form
- Sutures — with atraumatic, self-dissolving or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold the new shape
Inpatient stay
Each procedure is performed in the inpatient unit of the clinic. After surgery, your stay lasts one day
Recovery period
Following surgery you undergo a recovery course with swelling relief, nose monitoring and care recommendations. Complete healing takes roughly 4 months on average; first visible results come after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Through the end of the year, a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is free. At this check-up the doctor reviews the rhinoplasty result, checks your recovery and answers any questions you have

- On the day of the operation, stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before the set time
- If you have a chronic condition or are regularly monitored by a specialist, get their clearance for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
After nose surgery, recovery is just as vital as the procedure. Proper recovery decides how aesthetic and harmonious your final result will look. City Medical Centre keeps a close eye on recovery, which runs in three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For the initial 24 hours post-rhinoplasty, the patient stays in the inpatient unit under observation
- Days 1–3: breathing through the mouth; splints remain in the nostrils
- Expect swelling; nasal congestion and bruising may develop
- Day 7: splints are removed. You keep the aluminium splint up to 14 days; stitches are taken out with it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling gradually subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay swollen
- For the month: no training, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sunbathing
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery you may feel mild congestion
- The nose takes its final shape in 1–1.5 years
- Keep seeing your surgeon during this time

- 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
As with any surgery, nose surgery carries certain risks, even though it is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures. Our clinic offers thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring to minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty.
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 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 tests, CT, ECG, exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take off the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and smoking.
- 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 should understand the final 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 carried out using advanced technology, safe materials and nonstop medical supervision, lowering the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
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
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 aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
Both operations are often performed together, especially where a deviated septum meets aesthetic concerns, giving a harmonious look and full breathing again. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any surgery may bring swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, short-term breathing problems or minor asymmetry. At City Medical Centre, modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment minimise risks, backed by post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
You'll see first improvements after the swelling eases (2–3 weeks), while the final rhinoplasty result is evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when tissues have fully stabilised
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
For the first few days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly close the nasal passages. Full breathing generally comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on how extensive the surgery was and your body
Will there be visible scars?
With closed rhinoplasty the incisions are inside, so there are no external scars. With open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar remains on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), which fades almost completely over time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to 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?
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 depends on the extent of surgery and is set at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after surgery. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
We offer the first consultation at City Medical Centre free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates the proportions of your face and names the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and delicate plastic surgeries, which aims to reshape the nose to suit the individual proportions of the nose and the face overall. Modern rhinoplasty is not only about changing the nose's appearance but is complex surgical work to reach an aesthetic ideal with no harm to 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?
Performed under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours based on complexity. Two main approaches exist: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The open approach uses a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a complete view of every nasal structure. The closed approach works through incisions inside the nose, with no visible scars left.
Based on your goals, the surgeon decides on the technique. For instance, an upturned nose correction or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often needs the open approach.
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 a major step. When rhinoplasty is done well, the new nose blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. During the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With 3D modelling, you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
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.

Nose reshaping in Hanover: a practical guide
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Hanover is built around their anatomy and wishes.
What happens after surgery? For the first day you stay under observation in the inpatient unit. Swelling gradually subsides, though the tip and bridge may remain swollen for some time. Bending over, touching the nose and wearing glasses or makeup around it are off-limits early on. The final result for patients from Hanover can be judged after 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise.
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. Hanover residents can start with a free consultation: the doctor examines the nose and names the exact figure.
