Nose Surgery in Kumasi: Rhinoplasty Cost

Ideally, patients are 18 to 45: the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. When there are medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if general health allows

Essentially, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects congenital as well as acquired nasal deformities, such as those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or an overly wide nose often troubles patients. Correction may also focus on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Each patient's surgery plan is made individually, considering 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 matches the technique to your goals. Correction of an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nose's bones and bridge, for example, often demands the open approach.

Rhinoplasty — surgery to change the appearance of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improve 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.
Frequently both surgeries are done at once, especially for a patient with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. That way the look is harmonious and full breathing returns. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that tackles both tasks at the same time

Before surgery you have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, chest X-ray and a nose X-ray or CT. A week beforehand, quit anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Keep meals light the day before, and fast 6 hours before surgery

Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry can occur, as after any surgery. City Medical Centre minimises these risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, post-op monitoring and recovery therapy

First improvements show once swelling subsides (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully stabilise

In the early days after the operation, splints or swelling may partially block the nasal passages. Breathing usually recovers fully within 1–2 weeks, depending on the scope of surgery and your body

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

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.

The current discount brings rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre to $4,200 instead of $6,000. The first consultation is free.

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.

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.

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.

Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
