Nose Surgery in Sapporo: Rhinoplasty Cost

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

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.

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.

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.

Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
It is common to combine both surgeries, especially with a deviated septum plus aesthetic concerns. The outcome is a harmonious look and restored full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we offer rhinoseptoplasty, a combined surgery solving both tasks in one go

Preparation includes consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and an X-ray or CT of the nose. A week before surgery stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. The day before — light meals; fast 6 hours before surgery

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

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

In the days right after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. You usually breathe fully again within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and how extensive the surgery was

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

Rhinoplasty adds harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics, keeping your individuality. 3D modelling gives you an advance look at the predicted result, so the changes can be agreed with your surgeon

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.

The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.

The final cost depends on the scope of surgery and is set at the consultation, with the doctor naming the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.

Surgery with general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by the doctor and a free post-surgery check-up. The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on the result.

Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

The nose needs care after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Nasal function is limited in the first days but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides.
