Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your doctor assesses the nose, discusses what you'd like and conducts the necessary checks to choose the best correction approach
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
The surgeon operates using the selected technique under general or local anaesthesia, giving the nose its new shape
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 — we use TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, matched to complexity
- Access — surgeon's choice of open technique (incision on the columella outside) or closed technique (incisions inside the nose only)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — an ultrasonic piezo device keeps trauma to tissue and vessels minimal
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- Fixation — packing and an outer splint are applied to hold the new shape
Inpatient stay
All procedures take place in our clinic's inpatient unit, and after surgery you spend one day there
Recovery period
Post-surgery, you complete a recovery course that includes swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and aftercare advice. Healing is complete in about 4 months on average; first results show after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
For the rest of the year, post-op consultations with our plastic surgeon are free. At the check-up the doctor examines the rhinoplasty result, keeps track of recovery and answers all of your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
A successful surgery starts with preparation 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon will provide a list of tests at your first appointment.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Infections tested: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemistry panel (total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin — total, direct, indirect — ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol)

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
- Cut foods that cause swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy food; stop medications that affect blood clotting (agree this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Refrain from cosmetic procedures that damage skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Ahead of your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings
- At least 6 hours before the scheduled time on the day of surgery, stop all food and drink
- For elective surgery under general anaesthesia, patients with chronic conditions or regular specialist care need a specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery following nose surgery is equally as important as the surgery. How aesthetic and harmonious the end result becomes depends on proper recovery. City Medical Centre follows recovery closely, dividing it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient spends the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- Swelling forms; you may have nasal congestion and bruising
- Day 7: splints come out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days; stitches come out on day 14 with the splint
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling gradually subsides, but the tip and bridge may stay swollen
- For a month, no workouts, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- After nose surgery, mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months
- 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 speed up recovery and get an ideal result after rhinoplasty, 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
Nose surgery is a popular and well-established aesthetic procedure, but it carries certain risks like any other surgery. To minimise possible complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic arranges thorough preparation before and monitoring after the operation.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May be seen in the first days, particularly when restrictions are ignored
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. The key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Involves tests, CT, ECG and checks by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take off the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and smoking.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular visits to the surgeon catch the smallest deviations and fix them early.
- Psychological readiness. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: contact your doctor right away if you notice difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision, minimising the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
Ideally, patients are 18 to 45: the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. When there are medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation consists of plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. One week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. On the day before, eat light meals; fast for 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 — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
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 — one combined surgery addressing both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
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
When will I see the result?
Initial improvements are visible once swelling settles (2–3 weeks), yet the final rhinoplasty result can only be judged in 1–1.5 years, as tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Splints or swelling may partly obstruct the nasal passages in the first days after surgery. Within 1–2 weeks full breathing usually returns, depending on the extent of the surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty places the incisions inside, leaving no external scars. After open rhinoplasty there is a barely noticeable scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and it almost completely fades over time. Our doctors apply microsurgical techniques and high-quality sutures to minimise scars
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
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 cost at City Medical Centre?
The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
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.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
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.
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) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, with the goal of reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Rhinoplasty today is complex surgical work rather than just a change in how the nose looks, aimed at 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.
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.
Recovery and results
After surgery the nose requires care. An aluminium splint goes on the outside and special silicone splints are placed inside. Nasal function is restricted during the first days but returns quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, when swelling has fully subsided.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big decision. A well-done rhinoplasty means a new nose that fits perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At your consultation the surgeon evaluates all parameters in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Our 3D modelling lets you see the future proportions of your nose 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.

Rhinoplasty in Prague: techniques, stages and cost
Rhinoplasty, or nose job, reshapes the nose to fit the individual proportions of the face. It corrects congenital and acquired deformities, including changes after a nasal injury. Patients from Prague most often ask about removing a dorsal hump, narrowing an overly wide nose, refining the tip or correcting the nostrils. Every surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.
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 Prague patient.
Start with a free, non-binding consultation: you get an assessment of nasal anatomy, a 3D forecast and answers on recovery. If you decide to proceed, rhinoplasty costs $4,200, including the operation, inpatient stay, follow-up visits and dressings, with a lifetime guarantee on the result. Patients from Prague can send a request online or message a coordinator.
