Rhinoplasty in Kakamega: Price and Methods

The ideal age is 18 to 45. At that point the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. If there are medical indications, surgery is possible at an older age when your general health allows

At its core, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects both congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients are often bothered by a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also target the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For every patient the surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.

Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthesia, with a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Two main approaches are used: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty includes a small cut on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon has a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed via incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.

The surgeon selects the technique according to your goals. Correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge, for instance, often calls for the open approach.

Rhinoplasty — a procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery on the nasal septum to bring back normal breathing, leaving the outer contour of the nose unchanged.
The two surgeries are often combined, notably when a deviated septum coexists with aesthetic concerns. This delivers a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once

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

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

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

Right after surgery, the nasal passages can be partially obstructed by splints or swelling for the first days. Normal breathing typically returns within 1–2 weeks, based on the extent of surgery and your body

Closed rhinoplasty places the incisions inside, leaving no external scars. After open rhinoplasty there is a barely noticeable scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and it almost completely fades over time. Our doctors apply microsurgical techniques and high-quality sutures to minimise scars

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 is a big step. A well-done rhinoplasty means the new nose blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.

Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Rhinoplasty price at City Medical Centre: $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation costs nothing.

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.

Operation under general anaesthesia, one inpatient day, the doctor's monitoring and a free check-up after the operation. A lifetime guarantee on the result is given by the clinic.

The initial consultation at City Medical Centre is free of charge: the doctor examines your nose, reviews facial proportions and quotes the exact cost.

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.
