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
Using the selected method, the surgeon performs rhinoplasty under general or local anaesthesia and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with an individual consultation, a 3D model of the nose and a review of the septum and breathing. Following pre-op preparation, which includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient undergoes surgery.
- Anaesthesia — classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), chosen by complexity
- Access — open technique (external columella incision) or closed technique (incisions made only inside the nose), chosen by the surgeon
- Bone and cartilage reshaping — done with an ultrasonic piezo device to limit injury 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 — closed using atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic threads
- Fixation — we place packing and an external splint to stabilise the form
Inpatient stay
Every procedure takes place in the clinic's inpatient unit. You stay there for one day after surgery
Recovery period
After the operation you take a recovery course: swelling relief, nose check-ups and advice on care. Full recovery averages about 4 months, while first visible changes appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Before the year ends, you can have a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. During the check-up the doctor assesses the rhinoplasty result, tracks recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
For the surgery to go well, begin preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon gives you a list of tests at your first visit.
CBC (complete blood count) with ESR, differential, platelets
Urinalysis
Infection tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor

3–5 days before surgery you need to
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
- Skip salty, fatty, fried and spicy food that causes swelling; stop blood-clotting-affecting medications (discuss this with your doctor first)
- Limit physical activity
- Do not have skin-damaging cosmetic procedures such as scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Purchase class 2 compression stockings beforehand for the inpatient stay
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- Anyone with chronic conditions or under a specialist's regular care must get clearance from that specialist 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
- After rhinoplasty the patient is kept under observation in the inpatient unit for the first 24 hours
- Days 1–3: breathing through the mouth; splints remain in the nostrils
- 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
- Swelling recedes gradually; the tip and bridge may still look swollen
- One month without exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Mild nasal congestion may remain for 1–1.5 months post-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
For quicker recovery and 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
Nose surgery is among the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, yet like any surgery it has certain risks. To reduce the likelihood of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic offers 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
Can appear in the first days, particularly if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can occur 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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Covers tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- 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.
- Follow-up visits. Regular surgeon appointments reveal the slightest deviations so they are fixed early.
- Psychological preparation. The patient should be aware the end result shows in 1–1.5 years.
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 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 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
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — a procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any operation carries possible swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. To keep risks minimal, City Medical Centre employs modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
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
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
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
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The final cost depends on the scope of surgery and is set at the consultation, with the doctor naming the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
The surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, medical monitoring and a free follow-up check-up. The result comes with a lifetime guarantee from the clinic.
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) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, performed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and the face as a whole. Modern rhinoplasty is not merely a cosmetic change to the nose but complex surgical work to achieve an aesthetic ideal safely for health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Depending on complexity, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. There are two main approaches — open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is based on a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which lets the surgeon view all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose, without 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
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 decision. A well-done rhinoplasty means a new nose that fits perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At your consultation the surgeon evaluates all parameters in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Our 3D modelling lets you see the future proportions of your nose before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't limit yourself to searching for rhinoplasty photos online. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Nose reshaping in Los Angeles: a practical guide
Modern nose surgery is more than a cosmetic change: it is complex work aimed at an aesthetic result without harming health. For those in Los Angeles with breathing problems as well as aesthetic concerns, septorhinoplasty combines septum correction and reshaping in one operation. That way the look becomes harmonious and full nasal breathing is restored at the same time.
In the operating room, the anaesthetist uses TIVA or classic general anaesthesia depending on complexity. The surgeon opens access by the chosen technique, corrects bone and cartilage with a piezo device, reshapes the nose and closes with atraumatic or self-absorbing sutures. Packing and an external splint stabilise the new shape. For those in Los Angeles, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
Start with a free, non-binding consultation: you get an assessment of nasal anatomy, a 3D forecast and answers on recovery. If you decide to proceed, rhinoplasty costs $4,200, including the operation, inpatient stay, follow-up visits and dressings, with a lifetime guarantee on the result. Patients from Los Angeles can send a request online or message a coordinator.
