Nose Reshaping Surgery in Nakuru

The optimal age is from 18 to 45, when the nose is fully developed and tissues heal well. With medical indications, an older patient can have surgery if general health permits

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.

Under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open and closed. The open technique involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon a full view of all structures of the nose. The closed technique is performed through incisions within the nose and leaves no scars that can be seen.

The surgeon selects the technique according to your goals. Correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge, for instance, often calls for the open approach.

Rhinoplasty — surgery to transform the nose's appearance (an aesthetic aim) and improve how it works if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the nasal septum to restore normal breathing, without changing the outer contour of the nose.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once

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

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

The nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling in the first days post-surgery. Full breathing tends to return within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and the extent of surgery

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

Rhinoplasty adds harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics, keeping your individuality. 3D modelling gives you an advance look at the predicted result, so the changes can be agreed with your surgeon

Deciding on rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-performed rhinoplasty gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation, the surgeon examines each parameter in detail — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling to show your future nasal proportions before the surgery is performed.

Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.

The cost depends on the extent of surgery and is set at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.

Surgery with general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by the doctor and a free post-surgery check-up. The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on the result.

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.

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.
