Nose Reshaping Surgery in Mombasa

The optimal age range is 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by then and tissues still heal well. At an older age, surgery is possible with medical indications if your general health allows it

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.

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.

Your surgeon chooses the technique according to your goals. For example, the open approach is often required to correct an upturned nose or perform complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.

Rhinoplasty — surgery aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that solves both tasks at once

Getting ready involves consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab work (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, plus a nasal X-ray or CT. A week ahead, give up anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light food; no food 6 hours before surgery

Possible effects, as with any operation, are swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and small asymmetry. City Medical Centre applies modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, and provides 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

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

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.

Thanks to the current discount, City Medical Centre rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. First consultation free of charge.

What you pay depends on the extent of surgery and is agreed at the consultation — the doctor quotes the exact price once your nose and facial proportions are examined.

Surgery performed under general anaesthesia, one day as an inpatient, doctor supervision and a free check-up after surgery. The clinic grants a lifetime guarantee on the result.

City Medical Centre offers the first consultation free. After examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact cost of surgery.

The nose must be cared for after surgery. An aluminium splint is applied to the nose, and special silicone splints are inserted inside. The nose works in a limited way in the first days but recovers quickly. In 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides, the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed.
