Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and runs the necessary checks to choose the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Ahead of surgery, a full lab work-up is needed — complete blood count, blood biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon operates using the selected technique under general or local anaesthesia, giving the nose its new shape
Step-by-step surgical process
Every rhinoplasty begins with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and an assessment of the septum and nasal breathing. After preparation that includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient is taken to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — we use TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, matched to complexity
- Access — depending on the surgeon's choice, open (external incision on the columella) or closed (all incisions internal)
- Bone and cartilage correction — using an ultrasonic piezo device to minimise trauma to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue comes out or a graft goes in; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are remodelled
- Sutures — placed with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic materials
- Fixation — packing is inserted and an external splint fitted to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures are performed in the clinic's inpatient unit. After surgery you stay there for one day
Recovery period
Recovery after surgery follows a set course — easing swelling, monitoring the nose and advising on care. It takes about 4 months on average to heal fully, and the first results are visible after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until year-end, our plastic surgeon offers a free post-op consultation. The doctor evaluates your rhinoplasty result at the check-up, monitors how recovery is going and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
To set up a successful surgery, prepare starting 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon will give you the required tests at the first visit.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Infections tested: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry (total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; total, direct and indirect bilirubin; ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol)
Coagulation panel: Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer and 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
- Drop swelling-causing foods such as salty, fatty, fried and spicy meals; discontinue medications affecting blood clotting (with your doctor's approval)
- 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
- Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for your stay
- At least 6 hours before the scheduled time on the day of surgery, stop all food and drink
- If you live with chronic conditions or see a specialist regularly, elective surgery under general anaesthesia requires the specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
The recovery period after nose surgery is as important as the surgery. Correct recovery shapes how aesthetic and balanced the final result turns out. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely and divides it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: breathing through the mouth; splints remain in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- Day 7: splints come out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days; stitches come out on day 14 with the splint
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be swollen
- Avoid for a month: exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths, sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months following nose surgery, you may feel slightly congested
- 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 a faster recovery and the ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- 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
In the first days this may occur, especially if restrictions are neglected
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible 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. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't touch your nose or remove the dressing on your own; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and tobacco.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Regular follow-ups. Frequent surgeon visits pick up the smallest deviations and resolve them early.
- Psychological readiness. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is carried out using advanced technology, safe materials and nonstop medical supervision, lowering the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The best age range is 18 to 45: the nose has fully formed and tissues still heal well. For medical indications, surgery can take place at an older age if your overall health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation consists of plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. One week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. On the day before, eat light meals; fast for 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery for changing the appearance of the nose (aesthetics) and, if breathing is impaired, improving its function.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
Combining both surgeries is common, above all when a deviated septum comes with aesthetic concerns. It creates a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, it can involve swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre minimises risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Early improvements become visible when swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); the final result of rhinoplasty is judged in 1–1.5 years, after tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the first days after surgery the nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
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
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
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 cost at City Medical Centre?
The current discount brings rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre to $4,200 instead of $6,000. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and widely performed plastic surgeries, intended to reshape the nose in keeping with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work, not just a surgery to alter the nose's look, and it seeks an aesthetic ideal without damaging health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
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.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is done under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. There are two main approaches — open and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty a small incision is made on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon sees all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
Based on your goals, the surgeon decides on the technique. For instance, an upturned nose correction or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge 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?
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.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Rhinoplasty in Lima: techniques, stages and cost
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Lima is built around their anatomy and wishes.
Preparation begins about 21 days before surgery, when the plastic surgeon hands over the list of tests. Three to five days before, stop smoking and alcohol, cut salty, fatty and spicy foods and avoid peels or scrubs. On the day itself, the last food and drink should be at least six hours before the operation. This routine is the same for every Lima patient.
Rhinoplasty costs $4,200. For patients from Lima, this price already includes the surgery and the surgeon's work, the inpatient stay after the operation, follow-up visits and dressings, and support from a personal coordinator. It covers every type of surgery — open and closed rhinoplasty, tip correction and septorhinoplasty. The first consultation is free; the exact cost is confirmed after an in-person exam.
