Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor inspects your nose, clarifies your wishes and runs all required checks to determine the best method of correction
Pre-surgery check-up
Before the operation a full lab panel is required: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
Using the selected method, the surgeon performs rhinoplasty under general or local anaesthesia and reshapes the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
First comes a one-to-one consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of breathing and the septum. Pre-op preparation follows — tests, a CT scan and consultations with specialists — and then the patient has surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — the surgeon decides between open (incision outside, on the columella) and closed (all incisions within the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Modelling the new nose — excess tissue is excised or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum get a new shape
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — packing and a splint on the outside secure the new shape
Inpatient stay
Every procedure takes place in the clinic's inpatient unit. You stay there for one day after surgery
Recovery period
After surgery comes a recovery course — relief of swelling, monitoring of your nose and care tips. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, and you see the first results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
A free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon is available until the end of the year. During the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty is key to a successful surgery. At your first visit, our plastic surgeon will hand you a list of tests.
Complete blood count covering ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infections tested: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry, covering total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total/direct/indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl and cholesterol
Clotting 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
- Skip salty, fatty, fried and spicy food that causes swelling; stop blood-clotting-affecting medications (discuss this with your doctor first)
- 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
- Before you're admitted, get a pair of class 2 compression stockings
- On the day of surgery, have nothing to eat or drink for at least 6 hours before your slot
- 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 after nose surgery matters as much as the operation itself. How well you recover defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is carefully monitored and split into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: the nostrils hold splints and you breathe via your mouth
- Expect swelling; nasal congestion and bruising may develop
- Day 7: splints are removed. You keep the aluminium splint up to 14 days; stitches are taken out with it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling recedes gradually; the tip and bridge may still look swollen
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery, a mild stuffy feeling may persist
- 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
To help recovery go faster and get an ideal rhinoplasty result, we recommend
- 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
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and time-tested aesthetic procedures, but like any surgery it is not free of certain risks. To lower the chance of complications, our clinic provides careful preparation before surgery and monitoring after it.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Possible during the first days, especially if you ignore the restrictions
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible if too much tissue is removed or due to 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. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't remove the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Check-up visits. Seeing your surgeon regularly catches the tiniest deviations and corrects them in time.
- Emotional readiness. The patient should accept that the final result emerges in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if after rhinoplasty you have trouble breathing, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape, contact your doctor immediately.
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?
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
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery to transform the nose's appearance (an aesthetic aim) and improve how it works if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery on the nasal septum to bring back normal breathing, leaving the outer contour of the nose unchanged.
Often both surgeries are combined, especially when a patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This gives a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
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
When will I see the result?
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
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
For the first few days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly close the nasal passages. Full breathing generally comes back within 1–2 weeks, depending on how extensive the surgery was and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty means internal incisions and therefore no external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that is barely visible and fades almost completely over time. To keep scars minimal, our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
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?
With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The extent of surgery determines the cost, which is set at the consultation: after examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
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.
How much is a consultation?
Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, aimed at reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change how the nose looks, but complex surgical work to achieve an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthesia, with a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Two main approaches are used: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty includes a small cut on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon has a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed via incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.
Technique is chosen by the surgeon in line with your goals. The open approach is often necessary, for example, when correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.
Recovery and results
After the operation, caring for the nose is essential. An aluminium splint covers the nose, while special silicone splints go inside. Nasal function is limited at first but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, after the swelling has fully subsided.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step to take. A properly done rhinoplasty makes the new nose blend perfectly with your features and work flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon carefully assesses every parameter: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With the help of 3D modelling you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't just search for rhinoplasty photos online. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Rhinoplasty in Paris from consultation to final shape
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Paris is built around their anatomy and wishes.
Preparation begins about 21 days before surgery, when the plastic surgeon hands over the list of tests. Three to five days before, stop smoking and alcohol, cut salty, fatty and spicy foods and avoid peels or scrubs. On the day itself, the last food and drink should be at least six hours before the operation. This routine is the same for every Paris patient.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Paris, the key figures are simple: $4,200 for the surgery package and $0 for the first consultation. The package covers the surgeon's work, one day in the inpatient unit, follow-up visits, dressings and a personal coordinator. The exact cost is agreed after the doctor examines your nose. Leave a request to book.
