Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor reviews your nose, hears your expectations and does the essential checks to select the most effective correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Full lab tests are required ahead of surgery: a complete blood count, biochemistry, a coagulation panel, and chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
The surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
The process opens with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and a check of the septum and breathing. The patient then completes pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, before going to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous) or classic general anaesthesia, selected according to complexity
- Access — the surgeon selects the open technique (an external incision on the columella) or the closed one (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — placed with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic materials
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold 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
Until the year is out, get a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon free of charge. The doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors your recovery and responds to all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty is key to a successful surgery. At your first visit, our plastic surgeon will hand you a list of tests.
Complete blood count plus ESR, differential and platelet count
Urinalysis
Infection screening: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical analysis of blood: total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; total, direct and indirect bilirubin; ALT; AST; K; Na; Cl; cholesterol
Coagulation profile (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
- Eliminate foods that trigger swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy; stop taking drugs that affect blood clotting (confirm this 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
- Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for your stay
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned 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
The surgery is only half the story — recovery after nose surgery is just as important. Proper healing defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result will be. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely across three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient remains in the inpatient unit under observation for 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: splints are in the nostrils, so you breathe through your mouth
- Swelling appears; nasal congestion and bruising are possible
- 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
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be swollen
- A month without workouts, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or 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
To accelerate recovery and get the ideal outcome 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
Although nose surgery is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, like any surgery it carries certain risks. To minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic provides thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May develop in the early days, above all if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May occur with excess tissue removal or unique 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 doctor's skill and experience are central to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Comprises tests, CT, ECG and exams by surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Keep your hands off the nose and the dressing; avoid sport, the sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular check-ins with the surgeon detect even minor deviations and address them early.
- Psychological readiness. The patient needs to understand the final result appears in 1–1.5 years.
Important: difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or a change in shape after rhinoplasty mean you should contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
The preparation stage includes seeing the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray and nasal X-ray or CT. Anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking stop a week before surgery. Have light meals the day before; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation that modifies the nose's appearance (aesthetic purpose) and improves function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum for normal breathing, with the external contour of the nose left as it is.
Both operations are often performed together, especially where a deviated septum meets aesthetic concerns, giving a harmonious look and full breathing again. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry are possible. City Medical Centre uses modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, with 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?
During the first days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. Breathing is usually fully restored within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
There are no external scars after closed rhinoplasty, since the incisions are inside. In open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar is left on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and over time it fades almost completely. Our doctors rely on microsurgical techniques and quality sutures for minimal scarring
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty makes facial features more harmonious and improves aesthetics without losing individuality. With 3D modelling you can see the predicted result in advance and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Thanks to the current discount, City Medical Centre rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. First consultation free of charge.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Pricing depends on the extent of surgery and is set during the consultation: the doctor gives you the exact figure after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
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.
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, with the goal of reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Rhinoplasty today is complex surgical work rather than just a change in how the nose looks, aimed at an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution by nature. It corrects nasal deformities, whether congenital or acquired, e.g. after a nasal injury. Patients are frequently unhappy with a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can be the focus of correction too. Every patient gets a surgery plan created individually, considering all features 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 surgeon picks the technique to match your goals. Say, correcting an upturned nose or complex remodelling of the nasal bones and bridge frequently requires the open approach.
Recovery and results
The nose needs care after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Nasal function is limited in the first days but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides.
Why trust the professionals?
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.
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 London: techniques, stages and cost
What does rhinoplasty change? Depending on the plan, the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped: excess tissue is removed or a graft is added. Anyone looking for rhinoplasty in London can weigh a closed technique with all incisions hidden inside the nose against an open technique for maximum control over shape. Either way, the proposed result is visualised with 3D modelling first.
Here is the route in short: consultation with a 3D forecast, a full lab work-up confirming there are no contraindications, the operation, a day in the inpatient unit and then a recovery course with swelling relief and nose monitoring. Mild congestion may persist for 1–1.5 months. Nasal breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks for patients in London.
The consultation costs nothing and gives a realistic forecast: facial proportions are assessed, a 3D model of the future nose is shown and a personal surgery and recovery plan is drawn up. After that, the fee for rhinoplasty is $4,200 with inpatient care, dressings and follow-ups included. Patients from London can book via the form or message us in any messenger.
