Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor evaluates your nose, listens to what you want and performs the checks needed to find the most suitable correction technique
Pre-surgery check-up
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
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 a personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. After pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient goes to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — either TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or traditional general anaesthesia, per complexity
- Access — the surgeon selects the open technique (an external incision on the columella) or the closed one (all incisions inside the nose)
- Correction of bone and cartilage — with ultrasonic piezo equipment for the least trauma 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 — placed with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic materials
- Fixation — packing and an external splint hold the shape in place
Inpatient stay
All procedures are done in the clinic's inpatient unit, where you remain for one day after surgery
Recovery period
After surgery you go through a recovery course — swelling relief, nose monitoring and care advice. On average, full healing takes about 4 months, and first visible results appear 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
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.
Complete blood count plus ESR, differential and platelet count
Urinalysis
Infection tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical blood panel — total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin (total, direct and indirect), ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol
Coagulation panel (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, 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
- Drop swelling-causing foods such as salty, fatty, fried and spicy meals; discontinue medications affecting blood clotting (with your doctor's approval)
- Limit physical activity
- Hold off on cosmetic treatments that hurt the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Get class 2 compression stockings ahead of time for your hospital stay
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- If you live with chronic conditions or see a specialist regularly, elective surgery under general anaesthesia requires the specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery following nose surgery is equally as important as the surgery. How aesthetic and harmonious the end result becomes depends on proper recovery. City Medical Centre follows recovery closely, dividing it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- During the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty, the patient is observed in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: removal of splints. The aluminium splint lasts up to 14 days; the stitches come out with the splint on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling gradually reduces, although the tip and bridge can stay swollen
- For the month: no training, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sunbathing
- 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 a faster recovery and the ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- 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
Even though rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after and established aesthetic procedures, it involves certain risks like every surgery. That is why our clinic provides thorough preparation before surgery and monitoring afterwards to minimise complications.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Can arise in the first days, especially if restrictions are disregarded
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May happen due to excess 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. A doctor's skill and experience are central to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Tests, CT, ECG, plus exams by the surgeon and the anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't remove the dressing on your own and keep off your nose; no sport, sun, alcohol or cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Psychological preparation. The patient should be aware the end result shows in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if breathing is hard, pain is severe, fever is high or the shape changes after rhinoplasty, get in touch with your doctor straight away.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is done with up-to-date technology and safe materials under constant medical supervision, keeping complication risk to a minimum.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
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
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
To prepare, you'll have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Light meals the day before; nothing to eat 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
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 for normal breathing, with the external contour of the nose left as it is.
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, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, it can involve swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre minimises risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Improvements begin to show after swelling subsides (2–3 weeks), but it takes 1–1.5 years to judge the final rhinoplasty result, when tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Early after surgery the nasal passages may be partially blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing typically comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
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
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty makes the face more harmonious and improves its aesthetics, without losing what makes you individual. Using 3D modelling, you see the expected result in advance and agree on changes with the surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
At City Medical Centre, rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 thanks to the current discount. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The price depends on how extensive the surgery is and is determined at the consultation: the doctor states the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
General anaesthesia for the surgery, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a complimentary check-up afterwards. The clinic guarantees the result for life.
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 popular and delicate plastic surgeries, which aims to reshape the nose to suit the individual proportions of the nose and the face overall. Modern rhinoplasty is not only about changing the nose's appearance but is complex surgical work to reach an aesthetic ideal with no harm to health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Fundamentally, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution. It treats congenital and acquired nasal deformities alike, for example those caused by a nasal injury. Common complaints are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also address the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Every patient receives an individual surgery plan that accounts for all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose 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
Post-surgery, the nose needs proper care. The surgeon places an aluminium splint on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. In the first days nasal function is limited, yet it recovers fast. You can judge the final rhinoplasty result in 1–1.5 years, after swelling fully goes down.
Why trust the professionals?
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.

Rhinoplasty in Naples: techniques, stages and cost
This is one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries. It suits adults who want to correct the shape of the nose, whether the issue is congenital or appeared after an injury, and those with impaired nasal breathing. If you are from Naples and unhappy with the outcome of an earlier operation, secondary rhinoplasty is also an option after at least a year.
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 Naples.
Budgeting for rhinoplasty is straightforward: $4,200 covers the surgeon's work, the stay in the inpatient unit, check-ups and dressings, and a dedicated coordinator. There is no separate bill for the first consultation. For Naples patients, this is the moment to ask about timing, recovery and contraindications and receive clear answers before committing. The consultation is non-binding.
