Nose Surgery in Newcastle: Rhinoplasty Cost

Surgery is best done at 18 to 45, when the nose has finished forming and tissues still heal well. If medically indicated, it can be done later in life, provided your general health allows

In essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution that corrects congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients frequently complain of a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The correction may also involve the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For each patient, an individual surgery plan is drawn up that takes into account every feature 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 that changes how the nose looks (for aesthetic reasons) and improves its function if breathing is affected.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
The two surgeries are often combined, notably when a deviated septum coexists with aesthetic concerns. This delivers a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that solves both tasks in one step

You prepare with plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. Stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking a week before surgery. Eat lightly the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery

Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing difficulties and slight asymmetry are possible, as with any surgery. To minimise risks, City Medical Centre relies on modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, along with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy

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

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

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

Choosing rhinoplasty is a big step. Good rhinoplasty means your new nose blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The consultation includes a detailed assessment of every parameter by the surgeon: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We apply 3D modelling so that you can view your future nasal proportions before the rhinoplasty 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.

Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 under the current discount. The initial consultation is free.

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.

Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after surgery. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.

There is no charge for the first consultation at City Medical Centre. The doctor examines the nose, assesses facial proportions and names the surgery's exact cost.

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.
