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
You will need full lab testing before surgery — complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest and sinus X-rays
The surgery
The surgeon reshapes the nose with the chosen technique, working under general or local anaesthesia
Step-by-step surgical process
Rhinoplasty opens with a tailored consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and a septum and breathing assessment. Pre-op preparation comes next, with tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, after which the patient goes into surgery.
- Anaesthesia — based on complexity, either classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia)
- Access — the surgeon picks the open method (external columella incision) or the closed method (all incisions inside the nose)
- Bone and cartilage correction — performed with an ultrasonic piezo device, sparing tissues and vessels
- Modelling the new nose — excess tissue is excised or a graft is added; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum get a new shape
- Sutures — placed with atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic materials
- Fixation — we place packing and an external splint to stabilise the form
Inpatient stay
We perform all procedures in the clinic's inpatient unit. After the operation you remain there one day
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
Before the year ends, you can have a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon. During the check-up the doctor assesses the rhinoplasty result, tracks recovery and answers all your questions

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
- Eliminate foods that trigger swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy; stop taking drugs that affect blood clotting (confirm this with your doctor)
- Limit physical activity
- No skin-damaging cosmetic treatments, for example 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
- Your last meal and drink on the day of surgery must be taken at least 6 hours before the set time
- With chronic conditions or ongoing specialist care, you need clearance from a specialist for elective surgery under general anaesthesia
Recovery after rhinoplasty: stages and advice
After nose surgery, recovery is just as vital as the procedure. Proper recovery decides how aesthetic and harmonious your final result will look. City Medical Centre keeps a close eye on recovery, which runs in three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- Observation in the inpatient unit continues for the first 24 hours after rhinoplasty
- Days 1–3: splints stay in the nostrils and you breathe by mouth
- Swelling occurs, and congestion or bruising is possible
- 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
- The swelling decreases step by step; the tip and bridge may still be 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
- After nose surgery, mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months
- The nose takes its final shape in 1–1.5 years
- Keep seeing your surgeon during this time

Complications and risk management
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and time-tested aesthetic procedures, but like any surgery it is not free of certain risks. To lower the chance of complications, our clinic provides careful preparation before surgery and monitoring after it.
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
Possible from over-removal of tissue 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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Includes testing, CT, ECG and examination by surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Leave the dressing for the doctor to remove, don't touch your nose; skip sport, sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Seeing the surgeon regularly helps spot the smallest deviations and correct them early.
- Psychological readiness. The patient needs to understand the final result appears 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 uses modern technology and safe materials, with constant medical supervision minimising the risk of complications.

Rhinoplasty:
frequently asked questions
When is the best time for rhinoplasty?
The recommended age is 18 to 45, when the nose is fully formed and tissues continue to heal well. Given medical indications, surgery may be done at an older age if your general health permits
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 — a surgery changing the nose's look (an aesthetic objective) and improving its function in cases of impaired breathing.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
Often the two procedures are joined, especially if the patient has a deviated septum and aesthetic concerns. This brings a harmonious appearance and restores full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we perform rhinoseptoplasty, a single combined surgery for both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Like any surgery, it can involve swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing problems and minor asymmetry. City Medical Centre minimises risks with modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, plus post-op monitoring and recovery therapy
When will I see the result?
Swelling subsides and first improvements appear (2–3 weeks), but judging the final rhinoplasty result is possible in 1–1.5 years, when tissues fully settle
Can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
The nasal passages may be partly blocked by splints or swelling in the first days post-surgery. Full breathing tends to return within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and the extent of surgery
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty places the incisions inside, leaving no external scars. After open rhinoplasty there is a barely noticeable scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), and it almost completely fades over time. Our doctors apply microsurgical techniques and high-quality sutures to minimise scars
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
With rhinoplasty, facial features gain harmony and aesthetics improve, while individuality stays intact. 3D modelling allows you to view the predicted result ahead of time and settle the changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
Under the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. We offer the first consultation free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
The cost varies with the extent of surgery and is finalised at the consultation: the doctor examines your nose and facial proportions, then names the exact price.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery with general anaesthesia, one day in the inpatient unit, monitoring by the doctor and a free post-surgery check-up. The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
At City Medical Centre the first consultation costs nothing. The doctor checks your nose, assesses your facial proportions and gives the exact surgery cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most popular and most delicate plastic surgeries, aimed at a nose shape that matches the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is complex surgical work — not just changing the nose's appearance — that strives for an aesthetic ideal without harming health.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
Rhinoplasty is basically a comprehensive solution. Congenital and acquired nasal deformities, for instance after a nasal injury, are both corrected. What often bothers patients is a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction may likewise target the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Each surgery plan is created individually, with all features of the patient's nose taken into account.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthesia, with a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. Two main approaches are used: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty includes a small cut on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), so the surgeon has a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed via incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.
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.
Recovery and results
The nose needs care after surgery. An aluminium splint is placed on the nose and special silicone splints inside it. Nasal function is limited in the first days but recovers quickly. The final rhinoplasty result can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once swelling fully subsides.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is an important step. Well-executed rhinoplasty means a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. The surgeon reviews every parameter in detail during the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We rely on 3D modelling so you can preview your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Don't rely only on rhinoplasty photos from the internet. Book a consultation to find out what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot offer you. Reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities is what we specialise in.

How a nose job works for Valencia residents
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 Valencia is built around their anatomy and wishes.
First visible results appear after about two weeks, and full healing takes around four months on average. The nose settles into its final shape over 1–1.5 years, so seeing your surgeon during this period matters. Until the end of the year, Valencia patients can have a free post-op consultation where the doctor evaluates the outcome, monitors recovery and answers questions.
One price, $4,200, applies to open and closed techniques, tip work and septorhinoplasty alike. It includes general anaesthesia, a day in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up afterwards, and the clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result. Valencia residents can start with a free consultation: the doctor examines the nose and names the exact figure.
