Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor looks at your nose, goes over your wishes and orders the necessary checks to decide on the best way to correct it
Pre-surgery check-up
Before the operation a full lab panel is required: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, 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
First comes a one-to-one consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of breathing and the septum. Pre-op preparation follows — tests, a CT scan and consultations with specialists — and then the patient has surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — the surgeon opts for the open approach (external cut on the columella) or the closed one (incisions only inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — the ultrasonic piezo device keeps tissue and vessel trauma to a minimum
- Shaping the new nose — excess tissue is removed or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped
- Sutures — atraumatic, absorbable or cosmetic suture material is chosen
- Fixation — the shape is stabilised with packing and an external splint
Inpatient stay
All procedures happen in the clinic's inpatient unit; you stay there for one day once surgery is over
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
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
For the surgery to go well, begin preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty. Our plastic surgeon gives you a list of tests at your first visit.
Complete blood count: ESR, differential, platelets included
Urinalysis
Infection checks — HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor

- Limit physical activity
- Refrain from cosmetic procedures that damage skin: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Have class 2 compression stockings ready in advance for your stay in hospital
- Your last meal and drink on the day of surgery must be taken at least 6 hours before the set time
- Anyone with chronic conditions or under a specialist's regular care must get clearance from that specialist for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Nose surgery recovery is as significant as the surgery itself, since proper recovery sets how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is closely watched and divided into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For 24 hours following rhinoplasty, the patient remains under observation in the inpatient unit
- Days 1–3: you breathe through your mouth, splints are in the nostrils
- Swelling occurs, and congestion or bruising is possible
- Day 7: removal of splints. The aluminium splint lasts up to 14 days; the stitches come out with the splint on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling eases gradually; the tip and bridge might still be 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
- For 1–1.5 months after nose surgery, a mild stuffy feeling may persist
- 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
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
Possible in the first days, especially when restrictions are not followed
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Can be caused by excessive 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. The doctor's expertise and experience are vital for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Consists of tests, CT, ECG, and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take the dressing off or touch your nose yourself; steer clear of sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Seeing your surgeon on a regular basis spots small deviations and corrects them early.
- Psychological readiness. Know that the end result only becomes clear in 1–1.5 years.
Important: notify your doctor at once in case of difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes following rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern technology, safe materials and constant medical supervision, minimising the risk 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?
Pre-op preparation includes plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. Anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking are stopped a week before surgery. The day before, eat lightly; fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — a procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum for normal breathing, with the external contour of the nose left as it is.
Both surgeries are often combined, particularly when a patient has a deviated septum as well as aesthetic concerns. The result is a harmonious look and fully restored breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing difficulties and slight asymmetry are possible, as with any surgery. To minimise risks, City Medical Centre relies on modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, along with post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
The first improvements appear as swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), but the final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once tissues fully stabilise
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
In the early days after the operation, splints or swelling may partially block the nasal passages. Breathing usually recovers fully within 1–2 weeks, depending on the scope 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 harmonises facial features and enhances aesthetics without sacrificing individuality. Thanks to 3D modelling, you preview the predicted result and agree on the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Rhinoplasty price at City Medical Centre: $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. The first consultation costs nothing.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The extent of surgery determines the cost, which is set at the consultation: after examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery performed under general anaesthesia, one day as an inpatient, doctor supervision and a free check-up after surgery. The clinic grants a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
The initial consultation at City Medical Centre is free of charge: the doctor examines your nose, reviews facial proportions and quotes the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and in-demand plastic surgeries, reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and whole face. In its modern form, rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change the nose's look, but complex surgical work toward an aesthetic ideal that does no harm to health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At bottom, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution, correcting both congenital and acquired nasal deformities — for example, after a nasal injury. Patients often seek help for a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. It can also correct the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is designed for each patient individually, taking into account all the features of their 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
The nose needs looking after once surgery is done. An aluminium splint is put on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Its function is limited in the first days but recovers fast. The final rhinoplasty result becomes assessable in 1–1.5 years, when swelling is fully gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step to take. A properly done rhinoplasty makes the new nose blend perfectly with your features and work flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon carefully assesses every parameter: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With the help of 3D modelling you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Browsing rhinoplasty photos online is not enough. Schedule a consultation to talk about what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in your case. We specialise in correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose.

How a nose job works for Stuttgart residents
Many people consider a nose job because of a hump, a wide bridge or a tip they want to refine; others because they cannot breathe freely. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetics and function. For residents of Stuttgart, it is worth knowing that bone and cartilage are corrected with an ultrasonic piezo device, which keeps trauma to tissue and vessels to a minimum.
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 Stuttgart are advised to contact the doctor right away in case of severe pain, fever or breathing difficulty.
Budgeting for rhinoplasty is straightforward: $4,200 covers the surgeon's work, the stay in the inpatient unit, check-ups and dressings, and a dedicated coordinator. There is no separate bill for the first consultation. For Stuttgart patients, this is the moment to ask about timing, recovery and contraindications and receive clear answers before committing. The consultation is non-binding.
