Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
Your doctor assesses the nose, discusses what you'd like and conducts the necessary checks to choose the best correction approach
Pre-surgery check-up
Surgery requires a full lab work-up beforehand: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation tests, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
The surgeon operates using the selected technique under general or local anaesthesia, giving the nose its new shape
Step-by-step surgical process
The process opens with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and a check of the septum and breathing. The patient then completes pre-op preparation, including tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, before going to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia), chosen by complexity
- Access — the surgeon picks the open method (external columella incision) or the closed method (all incisions inside the nose)
- Correcting bone and cartilage — an ultrasonic piezo device keeps trauma to tissue and vessels minimal
- New nose shaping — extra tissue is removed or a graft added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are given a new form
- Sutures — suture material used is atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic
- Fixation — to stabilise the shape, packing and an external splint are placed
Inpatient stay
All procedures are done in the clinic's inpatient unit, where you remain for one day after surgery
Recovery period
After surgery comes a recovery course — relief of swelling, monitoring of your nose and care tips. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, and you see the first results 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
Begin getting ready 21 days before rhinoplasty so the surgery is successful. Your list of tests comes from our plastic surgeon at the first visit.
Complete blood count, including ESR, differential and platelets
Urinalysis
Infection screening: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV, Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Blood biochemistry, covering total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total/direct/indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl and cholesterol

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
- Remove swelling-promoting foods from your diet: salty, fatty, fried, spicy; stop medicines that affect blood clotting (check with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- Avoid skin-harming cosmetic treatments, such as scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- Stock up on class 2 compression stockings before your hospital stay
- On the day of surgery, your last food and drink must be at least 6 hours before the scheduled time
- Chronic conditions or regular specialist follow-up mean you need a specialist's sign-off for planned surgery under general anaesthesia
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
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: you use your mouth to breathe, with splints in the nostrils
- There is swelling; nasal stuffiness and bruises may appear
- Day 7: the splints are taken out. The aluminium splint stays up to 14 days, with stitches removed alongside it on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling recedes gradually; the tip and bridge may still look swollen
- For one month: avoid exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Slight congestion is possible 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
To shorten recovery and obtain an ideal result after rhinoplasty, we advise
- 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 nose surgery is one of the most popular and well-established aesthetic procedures, like any surgery it carries certain risks. To minimise the chance of complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic provides 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 happen in the first few days, mainly when restrictions are broken
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
Possible if too much tissue is removed or due to 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 key to safe rhinoplasty is the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Made up of tests, CT, ECG and surgeon and anaesthetist exams.
- Follow the recovery regime. Don't handle your nose or remove the dressing without the doctor; avoid sport, sun, alcohol, cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Check-up visits. Seeing your surgeon regularly catches the tiniest deviations and corrects them in time.
- Psychological preparation. The patient should be aware the end result shows in 1–1.5 years.
Important: if after rhinoplasty you have trouble breathing, severe pain, high fever or changes in shape, 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?
The optimal age is 18 to 45. By then the nose is fully formed and tissues still heal well. With medical indications, surgery can be done at an older age if your general health allows
How do I prepare for rhinoplasty?
Preparation consists of plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, chest X-ray, and a nasal X-ray or CT. One week before surgery, stop anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. On the day before, eat light meals; fast for 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery to transform the nose's appearance (an aesthetic aim) and improve how it works if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — a septum-correcting surgery that restores normal breathing and does not change the outer contour of the nose.
The two surgeries are frequently done together, especially for patients with a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This achieves a harmonious look and full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty — combined surgery that deals with both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
As with every surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary trouble breathing and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre uses up-to-date techniques, anaesthesia and equipment to reduce risks, together 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?
Right after surgery, the nasal passages can be partially obstructed by splints or swelling for the first days. Normal breathing typically returns within 1–2 weeks, based on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
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
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Through rhinoplasty, facial features become more harmonious and aesthetics improve, with individuality preserved. 3D modelling shows the predicted result in advance so you and your surgeon can agree on changes
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 cost depends on the extent of surgery and is set at the consultation: the doctor names the exact price after examining your nose and facial proportions.
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?
There is no charge for the first consultation at City Medical Centre. The doctor examines the nose, assesses facial proportions and names the surgery's exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
among the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, with the goal of reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the entire face. Rhinoplasty today is complex surgical work rather than just a change in how the nose looks, aimed at an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At its core, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It corrects both congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for example after a nasal injury. Patients are often bothered by a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also target the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). For every patient the surgery plan is created individually, taking into account all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed with the patient under general anaesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, according to complexity. The two main approaches are open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty means a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), offering the surgeon a full view of the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty relies on incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
Based on your goals, the surgeon decides on the technique. For instance, an upturned nose correction or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge often needs 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?
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.
Don't limit yourself to searching 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.

Who is a candidate? The optimal age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues heal well; with medical indications, older patients can also be considered if health allows. Indications include asymmetric cartilage or nostrils and significant breathing problems. Anyone researching rhinoplasty in Turin should know the contraindications too: decompensated chronic disease, skin damage or inflammation in the area.
The surgical plan is made at the first meeting: the surgeon examines the septum and breathing, builds a 3D or 4D model and agrees on the changes with you. Preparation with tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations follows. After the operation, a recovery course is prescribed. If you are planning rhinoplasty in Turin, allow for one month without sport, alcohol or smoking.
Start with a free, non-binding consultation: you get an assessment of nasal anatomy, a 3D forecast and answers on recovery. If you decide to proceed, rhinoplasty costs $4,200, including the operation, inpatient stay, follow-up visits and dressings, with a lifetime guarantee on the result. Patients from Turin can send a request online or message a coordinator.
