A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and runs the necessary checks to choose the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
The surgeon performs rhinoplasty with the chosen method under general or local anaesthesia, reshaping the nose
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty opens with a tailored consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and a septum and breathing assessment. Pre-op preparation comes next, with tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, after which the patient goes into surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (anaesthesia given intravenously) or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity
- Access — the surgeon picks the open method (external columella incision) or the closed method (all incisions inside the nose)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — an ultrasonic piezo device keeps trauma to tissue and vessels minimal
- Forming the new nose — tissue is trimmed or a graft is inserted; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped as planned
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- Fixation — we place packing and an external splint to stabilise the form
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
Recovery period
Once surgery is over, a recovery course follows: reducing swelling, monitoring the nose and giving care advice. Full healing averages about 4 months, with visible results first seen after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until the end of the year you can get a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. At the check-up the doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty result, monitors recovery and answers all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
For a successful surgery, start preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. At the first visit our plastic surgeon will give you a list of tests.
Complete blood count, including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infection tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry: total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol

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
- Eliminate foods that trigger swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy; stop taking drugs that affect blood clotting (confirm this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Do not have skin-damaging cosmetic procedures such as scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- In advance of the hospital stay, purchase class 2 compression stockings
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- Should you have chronic conditions or be under regular specialist care, a specialist's clearance is needed for planned surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Rehabilitation after nose surgery carries the same weight as the surgery itself. The right recovery defines the aesthetics and harmony of the final result. At City Medical Centre it is closely monitored and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- The patient remains in the inpatient unit under observation for 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: mouth breathing, with splints placed in the nostrils
- Swelling appears; nasal congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: the splints are taken out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days, with stitches removed alongside 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
- 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
- Some 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 accelerate recovery and get the ideal outcome after rhinoplasty, we advise
- 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
Even though rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after and established aesthetic procedures, it involves certain risks like every surgery. That is why our clinic provides thorough preparation before surgery and monitoring afterwards to minimise complications.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Can appear in the first days, particularly 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 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 skilled, experienced doctor is key to a safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Comprises tests, CT, ECG and exams by surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't handle your nose or remove the dressing without the doctor; avoid sport, sun, alcohol, cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Surgeon follow-ups. Regular visits catch even the smallest deviations and fix them at an early stage.
- Psychological readiness. Patients must realise the final result is seen only after 1–1.5 years.
Important: should breathing become difficult or you have severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, call your doctor at once.
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?
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?
Before surgery you have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, chest X-ray and a nose X-ray or CT. A week beforehand, quit anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Keep meals light the day before, and fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — an operation that modifies the nose's appearance (aesthetic purpose) and improves function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — an operation correcting the nasal septum to restore normal breathing; the external shape of the nose stays the same.
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 offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry can occur, as after any surgery. City Medical Centre minimises these risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
First changes show as swelling subsides (2–3 weeks); however, the final rhinoplasty outcome is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the tissues stabilise completely
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?
There are no external scars after closed rhinoplasty, since the incisions are inside. In open rhinoplasty a barely visible scar is left on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and over time it fades almost completely. Our doctors rely on microsurgical techniques and quality sutures for minimal scarring
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
At City Medical Centre, rhinoplasty costs $4,200 instead of $6,000 thanks to 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?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by a doctor, a free check-up post-surgery. The clinic backs the result with a lifetime guarantee.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, performed to reshape the nose according to the individual proportions of the nose and the face as a whole. Modern rhinoplasty is not merely a cosmetic change to the nose but complex surgical work to achieve an aesthetic ideal safely for health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is, at heart, a comprehensive solution. It fixes both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose — for instance, following a nasal injury. Patients frequently worry about a dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can also be corrected. The surgery plan is built individually for each patient, taking every feature of the nose into account.
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.
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.
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 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.
Photos of rhinoplasty online don't tell the whole story. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot achieve for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Nose reshaping in Sacramento: a practical guide
A nose that fits the face changes the whole impression while keeping you recognisable. That is the principle behind rhinoplasty: correcting the hump, width, tip or nostrils in line with facial proportions. People in Sacramento who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
Safety depends on each step. Full diagnostics include tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist. After surgery, do not remove dressings or splints yourself, press on your nose, wear glasses or sleep face down. Regular follow-up visits catch small deviations early. People from Sacramento are advised to contact the doctor right away in case of severe pain, fever or breathing difficulty.
For anyone searching for rhinoplasty in Sacramento, 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.
