Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor examines your nose, talks through your wishes and carries out the required checks to select the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
A full set of lab tests is needed before surgery: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
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 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 — TIVA, i.e. intravenous anaesthesia, or classic general anaesthesia, as complexity requires
- Access — the surgeon chooses the open (external incision on the columella) or closed technique (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue comes out or a graft goes in; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are remodelled
- Sutures — atraumatic, dissolvable or cosmetic suture materials are applied
- Fixation — packing and a splint on the outside secure the new shape
Inpatient stay
The clinic's inpatient unit is where all procedures are performed. You stay for one day post-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
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

- Limit physical activity
- Stay away from cosmetic treatments that injure skin: 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
- On the day of the operation, stop eating and drinking at least 6 hours before the set time
- Patients with chronic conditions or those regularly seen by a specialist need a specialist's approval for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Rehabilitation after nose surgery carries the same weight as the surgery itself. The right recovery defines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre it is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For 24 hours following rhinoplasty, the patient remains under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: breathing is through the mouth, with splints in the nostrils
- Expect swelling; nasal congestion and bruising may develop
- Day 7: splint removal. The aluminium splint stays on up to 14 days; on day 14 the stitches and splint are removed together
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling eases over time, but the tip and bridge can stay puffy
- 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
- Mild congestion may be felt for 1–1.5 months after nose 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 shorten recovery and obtain an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we advise
- 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
While nose surgery ranks among the most popular and proven aesthetic procedures, it still carries certain risks, as any surgery does. Our clinic minimises the chance of post-rhinoplasty complications with careful pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring.
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 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. A skilled, experienced doctor is key to a safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Never remove the dressing on your own or touch the nose; stay away from sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Psychological readiness. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: in case of breathing difficulty, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape after rhinoplasty, reach your doctor without delay.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre relies on modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision to minimise the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age is 18 to 45. By then the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. With medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if your general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
To prepare, you'll have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Light meals the day before; nothing to eat 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery to change the appearance of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
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
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like all surgery, this one may cause swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing issues and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre keeps risks low using modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, as well as post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
When swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), first improvements are visible; the final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, after full tissue stabilisation
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the days right after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. You usually breathe fully again within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and how extensive the surgery was
Will there be visible scars?
In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are internal, so no external scars remain. Open rhinoplasty leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that fades almost completely with time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scarring minimal
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?
City Medical Centre offers rhinoplasty for $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
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.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
General anaesthesia for the surgery, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a complimentary check-up afterwards. The clinic guarantees the result for life.
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) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, designed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and face as a whole. Today's rhinoplasty is not simply about changing the nose's appearance; it is complex surgical work that pursues an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
In essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution that corrects congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients frequently complain of a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The correction may also involve the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For each patient, an individual surgery plan is drawn up that takes into account every feature of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and, depending on complexity, takes 1.5 to 3 hours. It has two main approaches: open and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty requires a small columella incision (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon full visibility of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through internal incisions 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
After surgery the nose requires care. An aluminium splint goes on the outside and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is restricted during the first days but returns quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when swelling has fully subsided.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step. When done well, it gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. Every parameter is assessed in detail by the surgeon at the consultation — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. 3D modelling lets you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Browsing rhinoplasty photos online is not enough. Schedule a consultation to talk about what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in your case. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Rhinoplasty in Lodz step by step
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 Lodz who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
Everything starts with a consultation and nose modelling: the doctor assesses your anatomy, discusses wishes and chooses the correction method. Patients from Lodz then complete a lab work-up — blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray and a CT scan of the sinuses. Surgery lasts 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by one day in the inpatient unit.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Lodz, look at what is included. Here $4,200 is the full figure for the operation with follow-up visits, dressings, inpatient stay and coordinator support, plus a lifetime guarantee on the result. Apply before the end of the year and the consultation is on the clinic. Fill in the short form to get started.
