Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor reviews your nose, hears your expectations and does the essential checks to select the most effective correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
Ahead of surgery, a full lab work-up is needed — complete blood count, blood biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
Rhinoplasty is carried out by the surgeon using the agreed method, under local or general anaesthesia, to reshape the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty starts with a personal consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. After pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient goes to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), chosen by complexity
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Bone and cartilage work — performed using an ultrasonic piezo device, minimising trauma to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped, removing excess tissue or adding a graft
- Sutures — made with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic material
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
The clinic's inpatient unit is where all procedures are performed. You stay for one day post-surgery
Recovery period
After surgery you follow a recovery course — swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and care advice. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, with the first visible results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

- Limit physical activity
- Stay away from cosmetic treatments that injure skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Stock up on class 2 compression stockings before your hospital stay
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- If you have chronic conditions or are under regular specialist care, you need a specialist's clearance for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Healing after nose surgery is no less important than the surgery itself. The final result's aesthetics and harmony depend on proper recovery. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely supervised and has three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The first 24 hours after rhinoplasty are spent in the inpatient unit under medical observation
- Days 1–3: breathing through the mouth; splints remain in the nostrils
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- 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 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
- For 1–1.5 months following nose surgery, you may feel slightly congested
- 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
Popular and well-established as nose surgery is among aesthetic procedures, it still carries certain risks, like any surgery. Our clinic keeps the chance of complications after rhinoplasty to a minimum with thorough pre-op preparation and post-op monitoring.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
May develop in the early days, above all if restrictions are ignored
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible from over-removal of tissue or 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 doctor's expertise and experience are vital for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Covers tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Never remove the dressing on your own or touch the nose; stay away from sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Regular follow-ups. Frequent surgeon visits pick up the smallest deviations and resolve them early.
- Mental preparedness. The patient should realise the final outcome appears in 1–1.5 years.
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 equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
Optimal age: 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by this time, and tissues still heal well. Where medically indicated, surgery can be performed at an older age if your general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation to alter the nose's appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improve its function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
The two surgeries are often combined, notably when a deviated septum coexists with aesthetic concerns. This delivers a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Any surgery may bring swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, short-term breathing problems or minor asymmetry. At City Medical Centre, modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment minimise risks, backed by post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
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
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
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
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 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?
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The cost varies with the extent of surgery and is finalised at the consultation: the doctor examines your nose and facial proportions, then names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
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.
How much is a consultation?

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and sought-after plastic surgeries, which reshapes the nose to match the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Modern rhinoplasty is more than a surgery to change the nose's look — it is complex surgical work aiming at an aesthetic ideal without harm to health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
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.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia and, depending on complexity, takes 1.5 to 3 hours. It has two main approaches: open and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty requires a small columella incision (the tissue between the nostrils), which gives the surgeon full visibility of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through internal incisions and leaves no visible scars.
The surgeon picks the technique to match your goals. Say, correcting an upturned nose or complex remodelling of the nasal bones and bridge frequently requires the open approach.
Recovery and results
Aftercare for the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on top and special silicone splints inside the nose. During the first days nasal function is restricted, then recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, once swelling completely subsides.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step. When done well, it gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. Every parameter is assessed in detail by the surgeon at the consultation — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. 3D modelling lets you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Rhinoplasty in Pristina: techniques, stages and cost
There are two main approaches. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, giving the surgeon a full view of all structures. For Pristina patients, the choice depends on goals: complex reshaping of the bones and bridge often calls for the open approach.
Some details are easy to miss. Class 2 compression stockings should be bought in advance for the hospital stay, each test must be on a separate form with a stamp and signature, and chronic conditions require a specialist's clearance. After the operation, microcurrent or ultrasound therapy and a diet without salty or spicy food help speed recovery. This applies to all Pristina residents.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Pristina, 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.
