Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor examines your nose, talks through your wishes and carries out the required checks to select the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
A full set of lab tests is needed before surgery: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
Step-by-step surgical process
The first step is a personal consultation with 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of the septum and breathing. Next is pre-op preparation — tests, a CT scan, specialist consultations — and then the surgery itself.
- Anaesthesia — depending on complexity, TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or conventional general anaesthesia
- Access — open (a columella incision on the outside) or closed (all incisions placed inside the nose), at the surgeon's choice
- Bone and cartilage correction — via an ultrasonic piezo device so tissue and vessels suffer minimal trauma
- Shaping the new nose — removal of excess tissue or addition of a graft; reshaping of the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum
- Sutures — atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material is used
- Fixation — packing plus an external splint keep the shape stable
Inpatient stay
All procedures are done in the clinic's inpatient unit, where you remain for one day after surgery
Recovery period
Recovery after surgery follows a set course — easing swelling, monitoring the nose and advising on care. It takes about 4 months on average to heal fully, and the first results are visible after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Our plastic surgeon provides a free post-op consultation until the end of the year. At the check-up, the rhinoplasty result is evaluated, recovery is monitored and all your questions are answered

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.
Full blood count (ESR, differential and platelets included)
Urinalysis
Infection testing: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, antibodies to Treponema pallidum
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)
Blood clotting panel (Quick prothrombin, INR, aPTT, D-dimer, 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
- Hold off on cosmetic treatments that hurt the skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Buy class 2 compression stockings in advance for your hospital stay
- On the day of surgery, have nothing to eat or drink for at least 6 hours before your slot
- 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
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: mouth breathing, with splints placed in the nostrils
- Swelling develops; bruising and nasal congestion may occur
- Day 7: splints out. The aluminium splint remains for up to 14 days; stitches and splint both come off on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Little by little swelling subsides, but the tip and bridge may 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
- 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
If you want faster recovery and 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
Although it is among the most popular and well-established aesthetic operations, nose surgery, like any surgery, has certain risks. Our clinic reduces the chance of complications after rhinoplasty through 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
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
May occur with excess tissue removal or unique 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. Rhinoplasty safety hinges 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. Don't touch your nose or remove the dressing on your own; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and tobacco.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Regular follow-ups. Frequent surgeon visits pick up the smallest deviations and resolve them early.
- Mental readiness. Patients should know that the final result becomes visible 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 relies on modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision to minimise the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The optimal age range is 18 to 45. The nose is fully formed by then and tissues still heal well. At an older age, surgery is possible with medical indications if your general health allows it
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
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
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery that changes how the nose looks (for aesthetic reasons) and improves its function if breathing is affected.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
Both operations are often performed together, especially where a deviated septum meets aesthetic concerns, giving a harmonious look and full breathing again. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty: a combined surgery covering both tasks simultaneously
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry are possible. City Medical Centre uses modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
First improvements show once swelling subsides (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
Partial blockage of the nasal passages by splints or swelling is possible in the first days after surgery. Breathing normally returns in full within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions in closed rhinoplasty are inside, which means no external scars. With the open approach, a barely visible columella scar (the bridge between the nostrils) remains and fades almost completely over time. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures let 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?
City Medical Centre offers rhinoplasty for $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Cost is based on the extent of surgery and is fixed at the consultation, where the doctor gives the exact price after assessing your nose and facial proportions.

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?
In its essence, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It addresses congenital and acquired nasal deformities, including cases after a nasal injury. Typical concerns are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may also concentrate on the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). An individual surgery plan is prepared for every patient, based on 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.
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
Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Going for rhinoplasty is a big step. Well-done rhinoplasty results in a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon analyses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can view your future nasal proportions ahead of the surgery.
Don't just search for rhinoplasty photos online. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

Rhinoplasty in Sarajevo: what you need to know
Rhinoplasty covers several procedures. Tip rhinoplasty targets the nasal tip, alar rhinoplasty the nostrils, septorhinoplasty the septum together with the outer shape, and revision surgery corrects an earlier unsuccessful result. Revision is more complex and is done no earlier than a year after the primary operation. The plan for each person from Sarajevo is built around their anatomy and wishes.
Everything starts with a consultation and nose modelling: the doctor assesses your anatomy, discusses wishes and chooses the correction method. Patients from Sarajevo then complete a lab work-up — blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray and a CT scan of the sinuses. Surgery lasts 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by one day in the inpatient unit.
How much is a nose job in Sarajevo? The base price is $4,200 for the full package — from the operation itself to follow-up visits and dressings. The final amount depends on the extent of surgery and is set once the surgeon has examined your nose and facial proportions. Leave your name and phone number, and a coordinator will book your free consultation.
