Nose Surgery in Osogbo: Rhinoplasty Cost

The optimal age is 18 to 45. By then the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. With medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if your general health allows

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.

Depending on complexity, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. There are two main approaches — open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is based on a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which lets the surgeon view all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose, without visible scars.

The surgeon chooses the technique based on your goals. For example, correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often requires 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 for normal breathing, with the external contour of the nose left as it is.
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 carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together

Getting ready involves consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab work (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, plus a nasal X-ray or CT. A week ahead, give up anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light food; no food 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

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

With the closed technique, incisions are made inside, so external scars are absent. The open technique leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), fading almost entirely as time passes. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures help our doctors keep scars minimal

Rhinoplasty makes facial features more harmonious and improves aesthetics without losing individuality. With 3D modelling you can see the predicted result in advance and agree on the changes with your surgeon

Rhinoplasty is a significant step. Done well, it gives you a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works without flaws. The surgeon assesses every parameter in detail at the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Thanks to 3D modelling, you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.

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

First consultation at City Medical Centre — free. The doctor looks at your nose, analyses facial proportions and tells you the exact cost of surgery.

The nose needs care after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Nasal function is limited in the first days but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides.
