Rhinoplasty and Septorhinoplasty in The Bronx

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

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.

Rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, depending on how complex it is. Surgeons use two main approaches, open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. With open rhinoplasty, a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) lets the surgeon see all nasal structures in full. With closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are inside the nose and no visible scars remain.

Your goals determine which technique the surgeon chooses. For example, the open approach is often needed to correct an upturned nose or to reshape the nasal bones and bridge in complex cases.

Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum that restores normal breathing without altering the nose's external contour.
The two surgeries are often combined, notably when a deviated septum coexists with aesthetic concerns. This delivers a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once

Preparation covers plastic surgeon consultations; lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests); ECG; chest X-ray; and an X-ray or CT scan of the nose. Stop taking anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking a week prior. Light meals the day before; 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

When swelling goes down (2–3 weeks), first improvements are visible; the final rhinoplasty result can be evaluated in 1–1.5 years, after full tissue stabilisation

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

When rhinoplasty is closed, incisions stay inside and no external scars appear. When it is open, a barely visible scar remains on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), fading almost fully over time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures so that scars stay minimal

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

Deciding on rhinoplasty is a big step. A well-performed rhinoplasty gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. At the consultation, the surgeon examines each parameter in detail — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling to show your future nasal proportions before the surgery is performed.

Under the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. We offer the first consultation free.

How much it costs depends on the extent of surgery and is decided at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after studying your nose and facial proportions.

The operation under general anaesthesia, a one-day stay in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after it. The clinic offers the result a lifetime guarantee.

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.
