Rhinoplasty in Osaka: Price and Methods

The best age range is 18 to 45: the nose has fully formed and tissues still heal well. For medical indications, surgery can take place at an older age if your overall health allows

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.

Rhinoplasty requires general anaesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on its complexity. It is done by one of two main approaches: open rhinoplasty or closed rhinoplasty. In the open approach a small incision is placed on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving full view of all nasal structures to the surgeon. In the closed approach incisions are made inside the nose, so no visible scars remain.

Your goals determine which technique the surgeon chooses. For example, the open approach is often needed to correct an upturned nose or to reshape the nasal bones and bridge in complex cases.

Rhinoplasty — an operation that modifies the nose's appearance (aesthetic purpose) and improves function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — a septum-correcting surgery that restores normal breathing and does not change the outer contour of the nose.
Often the two procedures are joined, especially if the patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This brings a harmonious appearance and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once

Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; 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

Swelling subsides and first improvements appear (2–3 weeks), but judging the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully settle

Partial blockage of the nasal passages by splints or swelling is possible in the first days after surgery. Breathing normally returns in full within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body

There are no external scars after closed rhinoplasty, since the incisions are inside. In open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar is left on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and over time it fades almost completely. Our doctors rely on microsurgical techniques and quality sutures for minimal scarring

Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you 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.

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

The cost is set at the consultation and depends on the extent of surgery; the exact price is named by the doctor after an exam of your nose and facial proportions.

The surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, medical monitoring and a free follow-up check-up. The result comes with a lifetime guarantee from the clinic.

Your first visit to City Medical Centre for a consultation is free. The doctor examines your nose and facial proportions and names the exact surgery price.

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.
