Rhinoplasty in Nansana: Nose Correction

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

At its core, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects both congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients are often bothered by a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also target the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For every patient the surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.

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.

Based on your goals, the surgeon decides on the technique. For instance, an upturned nose correction or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often needs the open approach.

Rhinoplasty — surgery aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
Both surgeries are often combined, particularly when a patient has a deviated septum as well as aesthetic concerns. The result is a harmonious look and fully restored breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once

Before surgery you have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, chest X-ray and a nose X-ray or CT. A week beforehand, quit anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Keep meals light the day before, and fast 6 hours before surgery

As with every surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary trouble breathing and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre uses up-to-date techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to reduce risks, together with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy

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

Splints or swelling may partly obstruct the nasal passages in the first days after surgery. Within 1–2 weeks full breathing usually returns, depending on the extent of the surgery and your body

Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions, so nothing shows on the outside. Open rhinoplasty results in a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that almost completely fades with time. Our doctors keep scars minimal with microsurgical techniques and quality sutures

Rhinoplasty brings more harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics while keeping your individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result beforehand and agree on changes with your surgeon

Going for rhinoplasty is a big step. Well-done rhinoplasty results in a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon analyses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can view your future nasal proportions ahead of the surgery.

Instead of just searching the web for rhinoplasty photos, book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and nose reshaping.

Under the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. We offer the first consultation free.

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.

General anaesthesia surgery, a one-day inpatient stay, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards. The clinic offers a lifetime guarantee on the result.

Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

The nose needs looking after once surgery is done. An aluminium splint is put on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Its function is limited in the first days but recovers fast. The final rhinoplasty result becomes assessable in 1–1.5 years, when swelling is fully gone.
