Rhinoplasty for Patients from Oyo

18 to 45 is the optimal age. By this age the nose has formed completely, while tissues still heal well. With medical indications, older patients can have surgery if their general health allows

In its essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It addresses congenital and acquired nasal deformities, including cases after a nasal injury. Typical concerns are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may also concentrate on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). An individual surgery plan is prepared for every patient, based on all features of the nose.

Rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, depending on how complex it is. Surgeons use two main approaches, open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. With open rhinoplasty, a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) lets the surgeon see all nasal structures in full. With closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are inside the nose and no visible scars remain.

The technique depends on your goals and is chosen by the surgeon. Correcting an upturned nose or complexly reshaping the nasal bones and bridge, for example, often requires open access.

Rhinoplasty — surgery aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where 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 carry out rhinoseptoplasty: a combined surgery covering both tasks simultaneously

The preparation stage includes seeing the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray and nasal X-ray or CT. Anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking stop a week before surgery. Have light meals the day before; 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

First improvements show once swelling subsides (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully stabilise

Right after surgery, the nasal passages can be partially obstructed by splints or swelling for the first days. Normal breathing typically returns within 1–2 weeks, based on the extent of surgery and your body

With closed rhinoplasty the incisions are inside, so there are no external scars. With open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar remains on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), which fades almost completely over time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scars 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

Rhinoplasty is an important step. Well-executed rhinoplasty means a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The surgeon reviews every parameter in detail during the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We rely on 3D modelling so you can preview your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.

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.

At City Medical Centre, rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 thanks to the current discount. The first consultation is free.

The cost depends on the extent of surgery and is set at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price 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.

The first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, assesses facial proportions and names 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.
