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
Full lab tests are required ahead of surgery: a complete blood count, biochemistry, a coagulation panel, and 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 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 — TIVA (intravenous) or classic general anaesthesia, selected according to complexity
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Forming the new nose — the surgeon removes excess tissue or adds a graft and reshapes the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum
- Sutures — made with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic material
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold the new shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures are performed in the clinic's inpatient unit. After surgery you stay there for one day
Recovery period
After the operation you take a recovery course: swelling relief, nose check-ups and advice on care. Full recovery averages about 4 months, while first visible changes appear 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
A successful surgery starts with preparation 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon will provide a list of tests at your first appointment.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Infection checks — HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor

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
- Skip cosmetic treatments that harm the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- For your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings in advance
- Your last meal and drink on the day of surgery must be taken at least 6 hours before the set time
- Anyone with chronic conditions or under a specialist's regular care must get clearance from that specialist for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery after nose surgery matters as much as the operation itself. How well you recover defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is carefully monitored and split into 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: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: splints are taken out. The aluminium splint is worn up to 14 days, and on day 14 it comes off with the stitches
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling steadily goes down, but some remains at the tip and bridge
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Expect possible mild congestion for 1–1.5 months after the 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 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 appear in the first days, particularly if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible from over-removal of tissue 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 key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Covers tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't handle your nose or remove the dressing without the doctor; avoid sport, sun, alcohol, cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular surgeon check-ups identify minor deviations early and correct them.
- Psychological readiness. The patient needs to understand the final result appears in 1–1.5 years.
Important: difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or a change in shape after rhinoplasty mean you should contact your doctor immediately.
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?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
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 — combined surgery that deals with 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?
First changes show as swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); however, the final rhinoplasty outcome is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the tissues stabilise completely
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?
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?
Through rhinoplasty, facial features become more harmonious and aesthetics improve, with individuality preserved. 3D modelling shows the predicted result in advance so you and your surgeon can agree on changes
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Pricing depends on the extent of surgery and is set during the consultation: the doctor gives you the exact figure after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day spent in the inpatient unit, ongoing doctor monitoring and a free post-op check-up. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
The first City Medical Centre consultation is free. Your nose is examined, facial proportions are assessed and the doctor names the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and in-demand plastic surgeries, reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. In its modern form, rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change the nose's look, but complex surgical work toward an aesthetic ideal that does no harm to health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
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.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed with the patient under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, according to complexity. The two main approaches are open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty means a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), offering the surgeon a full view of the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty relies on incisions inside the nose 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.
Recovery and results
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.
Why trust the professionals?
Choosing rhinoplasty is a big step. Good rhinoplasty means your new nose blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The consultation includes a detailed assessment of every parameter by the surgeon: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We apply 3D modelling so that you can view your future nasal proportions before the rhinoplasty is performed.
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.

Nose job in Indianapolis: methods, recovery and price
A nose that fits the face changes the whole impression while keeping you recognisable. That is the principle behind rhinoplasty: correcting the hump, width, tip or nostrils in line with facial proportions. People in Indianapolis who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
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, Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis, 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.
