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
Before the operation a full lab panel is required: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
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 — either TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or traditional general anaesthesia, per complexity
- Access — the surgeon chooses the open (external incision on the columella) or closed technique (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Modelling the new nose — excess tissue is excised or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum get a new shape
- Sutures — closed using atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic threads
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
Procedures are all performed in the clinic's inpatient unit, with a one-day stay there after surgery
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
Until the end of the year you can get a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. At the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty result, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Start preparing for rhinoplasty 21 days in advance for a successful surgery. At the first visit you receive a list of tests from our plastic surgeon.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Tests for HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical blood panel — total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin (total, direct and indirect), ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol
Coagulation panel (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, antithrombin III)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) with report
Doppler ultrasound / duplex scan of the leg veins
Chest X-ray or fluorography with report
CT scan of the paranasal sinuses
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
- Remove swelling-promoting foods from your diet: salty, fatty, fried, spicy; stop medicines that affect blood clotting (check with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Pass on cosmetic treatments that damage the skin, e.g. scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Buy class 2 compression stockings in advance for your hospital stay
- Your last meal and drink on the day of surgery must be taken at least 6 hours before the set time
- Chronic conditions or regular specialist follow-up mean you need a specialist's sign-off for planned surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery after nose surgery is just as important as the surgery itself. Proper recovery determines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result will be. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- In the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is monitored in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: the splints are taken out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days, with stitches removed alongside it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling eases gradually; the tip and bridge might still be 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
- Mild nasal congestion may remain for 1–1.5 months post-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
For speedier recovery and an ideal post-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
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
Can occur during the first days, especially if the rules are not kept
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can occur with excessive 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. Skill and experience of the doctor are crucial for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Comprises tests, CT, ECG and exams by 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.
- Follow-up visits. Regular visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Psychological readiness. The patient needs to understand the final result appears in 1–1.5 years.
Important: notify your doctor at once in case of difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes following rhinoplasty.
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?
Getting ready involves consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab work (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, plus a nasal X-ray or CT. A week ahead, give up anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light food; no food 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.
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 — combined surgery that deals with both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any operation carries possible swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. To keep risks minimal, City Medical Centre employs modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Swelling subsides and first improvements appear (2–3 weeks), but judging the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully settle
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Early after surgery the nasal passages may be partially blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing typically comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on 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?
How much it costs depends on the extent of surgery and is decided at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after studying your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
The operation under general anaesthesia, a one-day stay in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after it. The clinic offers the result a lifetime guarantee.
How much is a consultation?
Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and most delicate plastic surgeries, aimed at a nose shape that matches the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work — not just changing the nose's appearance — that strives for an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects 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.
Your surgeon chooses the technique according to your goals. For example, the open approach is often required to correct an upturned nose or perform 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 a big step to take. A properly done rhinoplasty makes the new nose blend perfectly with your features and work flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon carefully assesses every parameter: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With the help of 3D modelling you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Looking up rhinoplasty photos online is only a start. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities.

Rhinoplasty in Istanbul: techniques, stages and cost
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 Istanbul, 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.
In the operating room, the anaesthetist uses TIVA or classic general anaesthesia depending on complexity. The surgeon opens access by the chosen technique, corrects bone and cartilage with a piezo device, reshapes the nose and closes with atraumatic or self-absorbing sutures. Packing and an external splint stabilise the new shape. For those in Istanbul, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Istanbul, 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.
