Nose Job in Ilorin: Rhinoplasty for $4,200

Surgery is best done at 18 to 45, when the nose has finished forming and tissues still heal well. If medically indicated, it can be done later in life, provided your general health allows

At bottom, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution, correcting both congenital and acquired nasal deformities — for example, after a nasal injury. Patients often seek help for a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. It can also correct the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is designed for each patient individually, taking into account all the features of their nose.

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.

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.

Rhinoplasty — a surgery changing the nose's look (an aesthetic objective) and improving its function in cases of impaired breathing.
Septoplasty — a surgical fix for the nasal septum that restores normal breathing without changing how the nose looks outside.
When a patient has a deviated septum along with aesthetic concerns, both surgeries are often combined. This gives a harmonious look and brings back full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once

Preparation means plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, a chest X-ray, and nasal X-ray or CT imaging. A week before surgery, cut out anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Eat light the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery

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

The first improvements appear as swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise

In the days right after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. You usually breathe fully again within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and how extensive the surgery was

With the closed technique, incisions are made inside, so external scars are absent. The open technique leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), fading almost entirely as time passes. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures help our doctors keep scars minimal

Rhinoplasty balances facial features and improves aesthetics while preserving individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result early and discuss and agree on the changes with your surgeon

Going for rhinoplasty is a big step. Well-done rhinoplasty results in a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon analyses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can view your future nasal proportions ahead of the surgery.

Instead of just searching the web for rhinoplasty photos, book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and nose reshaping.

City Medical Centre offers rhinoplasty for $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation is free.

The extent of surgery determines the cost, which is set at the consultation: after examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact price.

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.

Your first visit to City Medical Centre for a consultation is free. The doctor examines your nose and facial proportions and names the exact surgery price.

The nose needs looking after once surgery is done. An aluminium splint is put on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Its function is limited in the first days but recovers fast. The final rhinoplasty result becomes assessable in 1–1.5 years, when swelling is fully gone.
