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
Surgery requires a full lab work-up beforehand: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation tests, chest X-ray and 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
The process opens with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and a check of the septum and breathing. The patient then completes pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, before going to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Bone and cartilage correction — with an ultrasonic piezo device for minimal trauma to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — with atraumatic, self-dissolving or cosmetic suture material
- Fixation — packing and an external splint are placed to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
Recovery period
Following surgery, you complete a course of recovery: swelling relief, nose monitoring, care advice. On average full healing needs about 4 months; the first visible results appear after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until year-end, our plastic surgeon offers a free post-op consultation. The doctor evaluates your rhinoplasty result at the check-up, monitors how recovery is going and answers all 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, including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infectious disease tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemical blood panel — total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin (total, direct and indirect), ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol
Coagulation profile (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer and 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
- No skin-damaging cosmetic treatments, for example scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Get class 2 compression stockings ahead of time for your hospital stay
- On the day of your surgery, finish eating and drinking at least 6 hours ahead of the scheduled time
- 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
Post-operative recovery is every bit as important as the nose surgery itself. Proper recovery determines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre, recovery is tightly monitored 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: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- 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 eases over time, but the tip and bridge can stay puffy
- For a month: no exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Mild congestion may be felt for 1–1.5 months after nose surgery
- 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
Nose surgery is among the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, yet like any surgery it has certain risks. To reduce the likelihood of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic offers 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
May happen due to excess tissue removal 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. Safe rhinoplasty depends on 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. Avoid removing the dressing yourself or touching your nose; no sport, sun, alcohol or cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular surgeon appointments reveal the slightest deviations so they are fixed early.
- Psychological readiness. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: seek your doctor immediately if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or any shape change after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is carried out using advanced technology, safe materials and nonstop medical supervision, lowering the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The ideal age is 18 to 45. At that point the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. If there are medical indications, surgery is possible at an older age when your general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation means plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, a chest X-ray, and nasal X-ray or CT imaging. A week before surgery, cut out anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Eat light the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
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.
Frequently both surgeries are done at once, especially for a patient with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. That way the look is harmonious and full breathing returns. At City Medical Centre . we do rhinoseptoplasty — a combined surgery that tackles both tasks at the same time
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?
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
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?
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 under the current discount. The initial consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Pricing depends on the extent of surgery and is set during the consultation: the doctor gives you the exact figure after examining your nose and facial proportions.
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 refined and in-demand plastic surgeries, focused on reshaping the nose in harmony with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty goes beyond altering how the nose looks: it is complex surgical work to reach an aesthetic ideal while keeping health intact.
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?
Rhinoplasty is done under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. There are two main approaches — open and closed rhinoplasty. In open rhinoplasty a small incision is made on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon sees all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
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. 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.
Rather than only looking for rhinoplasty photos online, book a consultation and discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and can't achieve for you. Our specialty is correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

Nose job in Rotterdam: methods, recovery and price
The aim is a nose that blends with your features and works flawlessly. Before anything is decided in Rotterdam, the surgeon evaluates nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining, then uses 3D modelling to show the future proportions. Rhinoplasty makes features more harmonious without losing individuality, and the predicted result is agreed with you in advance.
In the operating room, the anaesthetist uses TIVA or classic general anaesthesia depending on complexity. The surgeon opens access by the chosen technique, corrects bone and cartilage with a piezo device, reshapes the nose and closes with atraumatic or self-absorbing sutures. Packing and an external splint stabilise the new shape. For those in Rotterdam, the first 24 hours are spent under observation.
The consultation costs nothing and gives a realistic forecast: facial proportions are assessed, a 3D model of the future nose is shown and a personal surgery and recovery plan is drawn up. After that, the fee for rhinoplasty is $4,200 with inpatient care, dressings and follow-ups included. Patients from Rotterdam can book via the form or message us in any messenger.
