Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
After examining your nose and discussing your goals, the doctor runs the required checks to choose the right 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 carries out rhinoplasty using the chosen technique under local or general anaesthesia, changing the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty begins with an individual consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an evaluation of the septum and breathing. Once pre-op preparation is complete — tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations — the patient proceeds to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — based on complexity, either classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia)
- Access — either open (outer incision on the columella) or closed (every incision inside the nose), as the surgeon decides
- Bone and cartilage correction — the ultrasonic piezo device keeps tissue and vessel trauma to a minimum
- Creating the new shape — excess tissue is removed or grafted tissue added, and the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum reshaped
- Sutures — the material is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — an external splint and packing are used to keep the shape stable
Inpatient stay
Procedures are all performed in the clinic's inpatient unit, with a one-day stay there after surgery
Recovery period
A recovery course follows surgery, covering swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and care guidance. Healing is usually complete in about 4 months, with first visible results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
Until the end of the year, our plastic surgeon will see you for a free post-op consultation. The check-up covers evaluating the rhinoplasty result, monitoring recovery and answering all your questions

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparation should begin 21 days before rhinoplasty for the surgery to be successful. Our plastic surgeon hands you the list of tests at the first visit.
Full blood count (ESR, differential and platelets included)
Urinalysis
Infectious disease tests: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood chemistry (total protein; urea; uric acid; creatinine; glucose; bilirubin: total, direct, indirect; 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
- Cut out salty, fatty, fried and spicy foods, as they cause swelling; stop medications affecting blood clotting (only with your doctor's consent)
- 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
- Ahead of your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- For elective surgery under general anaesthesia, patients with chronic conditions or regular specialist care need a specialist's clearance
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
Recovery after nose surgery matters as much as the operation itself. How well you recover defines how aesthetic and harmonious the final result is. At City Medical Centre recovery is carefully monitored and split into 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: you breathe by mouth while splints sit in the nostrils
- Swelling appears; nasal congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: splint removal. The aluminium splint stays on up to 14 days; on day 14 the stitches and splint are removed together
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be swollen
- Avoid for a month: exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths, sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- You might notice mild congestion 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
For a faster recovery and the ideal result after rhinoplasty, we suggest
- 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
Nose surgery may be one of the most popular, well-established aesthetic procedures, but like all surgery it comes with certain risks. To keep the chance of complications after rhinoplasty low, our clinic ensures 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
May be seen in the first days, particularly when restrictions are ignored
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. Skill and experience of the doctor are crucial for safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes lab tests, CT, ECG, surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Do not take off the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and smoking.
- 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. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, contact your doctor immediately.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is performed with modern equipment, safe materials and constant supervision by doctors, minimising the chance of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
18 to 45 is the optimal age. By this age the nose has formed completely, while tissues still heal well. With medical indications, older patients can have surgery if their general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
You prepare with plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the nose. Stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking a week before surgery. Eat lightly the day before and fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery aimed at changing the look of the nose (an aesthetic goal) and improving its function where breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the septum for normal breathing, with the external contour of the nose left as it is.
Combining both surgeries is common, above all when a deviated septum comes with aesthetic concerns. It creates a harmonious look and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Possible effects, as with any operation, are swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and small asymmetry. City Medical Centre applies modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to minimise risks, and provides 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?
In the first days after surgery the nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling. Full breathing usually returns within 1–2 weeks, depending 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 makes facial features more harmonious and improves aesthetics without losing individuality. With 3D modelling you can see the predicted result in advance and agree on the changes with your 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?
The price depends on how extensive the surgery is and is determined at the consultation: the doctor states the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
The surgery under general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, medical monitoring and a free follow-up check-up. The result comes with a lifetime guarantee from the clinic.
How much is a consultation?
Your first consultation at City Medical Centre is free. The doctor examines your nose, evaluates facial proportions and states the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and sought-after plastic surgeries, which reshapes the nose to match the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Modern rhinoplasty is more than a surgery to change the nose's look — it is complex surgical work aiming at an aesthetic ideal without harm to health.
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?
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
Aftercare for the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on top and special silicone splints inside the nose. During the first days nasal function is restricted, then recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be judged in 1–1.5 years, once swelling completely subsides.
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.
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.

Rhinoplasty in Toulouse step by step
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 Toulouse who browse before-and-after photos online should instead discuss at a consultation what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do in their specific case.
Recovery has early, middle and late phases. During days 1–3 you breathe through your mouth, and swelling and bruising may appear. Internal splints come out on day 7; the aluminium splint and stitches are removed by day 14. For a month, avoid exercise, saunas, pools and sun, and sleep on your back half-sitting. Patients from Toulouse get care advice at every stage.
If you are comparing rhinoplasty prices in Toulouse, look at what is included. Here $4,200 is the full figure for the operation with follow-up visits, dressings, inpatient stay and coordinator support, plus a lifetime guarantee on the result. Apply before the end of the year and the consultation is on the clinic. Fill in the short form to get started.
