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 surgery you need a full lab work-up: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray, 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
Every rhinoplasty begins with a personal consultation, 3D nose modelling and an assessment of the septum and nasal breathing. After preparation that includes tests, a CT scan and specialist consultations, the patient is taken to surgery.
- Anaesthesia — based on complexity, either classic general anaesthesia or TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia)
- Access — depending on the surgeon's choice, open (external incision on the columella) or closed (all incisions internal)
- Correction of bone and cartilage — with ultrasonic piezo equipment for the least trauma to tissue and vessels
- Shaping the new nose — surplus tissue is taken away or a graft is placed; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are 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
Every procedure takes place in the clinic's inpatient unit. You stay there for one day after surgery
Recovery period
After surgery you follow a recovery course — swelling relief, monitoring of the nose and care advice. Full healing takes about 4 months on average, with the first visible results after two weeks
Post-op check-ups
You can book a free post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon until the end of the year. The doctor assesses the result of rhinoplasty, follows your recovery and answers every question at the check-up

Preparing for nose surgery
Preparing 21 days before rhinoplasty is key to a successful surgery. At your first visit, our plastic surgeon will hand you a list of tests.
Complete blood count (with ESR, differential and platelets)
Urinalysis
Infection panel: HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and Treponema pallidum antibodies
Blood type and Rh factor
Biochemistry of the blood (total protein, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, ALT, AST, K, Na, Cl, cholesterol)
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 foods that cause swelling: salty, fatty, fried and spicy food; stop medications that affect blood clotting (agree this with your doctor)
- 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
- Before you're admitted, get a pair of class 2 compression stockings
- Your final meal and drink on surgery day must be no later than 6 hours before the scheduled time
- If you have a chronic condition or are regularly monitored by a specialist, get their clearance 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
- 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 forms; you may have nasal congestion and bruising
- Day 7: splints are taken out. The aluminium splint is worn up to 14 days, and on day 14 it comes off with the stitches
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling eases gradually; the tip and bridge might still be swollen
- A month off exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths and the 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

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 speedier recovery and an ideal post-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
Popular and well-established as nose surgery is among aesthetic procedures, it still carries certain risks, like any surgery. Our clinic keeps the chance of complications after rhinoplasty to a minimum with 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
A possibility with 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. Safe rhinoplasty depends on the doctor's skill and experience.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Involves tests, CT, ECG and checks by the 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. Understand that the final result will be visible in 1–1.5 years.
Important: should breathing become difficult or you have severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty, call your doctor at once.
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?
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?
Preparation means plastic surgeon consultations, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), ECG, a chest X-ray, and nasal X-ray or CT imaging. A week before surgery, cut out anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Eat light the day before and 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 — surgery to correct the nasal septum and restore normal breathing, keeping the nose's external contour intact.
It is common to combine both surgeries, especially with a deviated septum plus aesthetic concerns. The outcome is a harmonious look and restored full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves 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?
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?
In the days right after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. You usually breathe fully again within 1–2 weeks, depending on your body and how extensive the surgery was
Will there be visible scars?
With the closed technique, incisions are made inside, so external scars are absent. The open technique leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils), fading almost entirely as time passes. Microsurgical techniques and quality sutures help our doctors keep scars minimal
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty improves aesthetics and makes facial features more harmonious, without loss of individuality. With 3D modelling the predicted result is visible in advance, and you agree on changes with your surgeon
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
With the current discount, rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre costs $4,200 instead of $6,000. Your first consultation is free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
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.
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?
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 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?
Rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution by nature. It corrects nasal deformities, whether congenital or acquired, e.g. after a nasal injury. Patients are frequently unhappy with a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. The nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty) can be the focus of correction too. Every patient gets a surgery plan created individually, considering all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Depending on complexity, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. There are two main approaches — open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is based on a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which lets the surgeon view all nasal structures fully. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose, without visible scars.
Technique is chosen by the surgeon in line with your goals. The open approach is often necessary, for example, when correcting an upturned nose or complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.
Recovery and results
Once surgery is over, the nose needs care. It gets an aluminium splint on the outside and special silicone splints within. For the first days nasal function is limited, though it comes back quickly. The final rhinoplasty result is assessed in 1–1.5 years, when the swelling fully subsides.
Why trust the professionals?
Rhinoplasty is a big step. When done well, it gives a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works flawlessly. Every parameter is assessed in detail by the surgeon at the consultation — nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. 3D modelling lets you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Go beyond searching online for rhinoplasty photos. Book a consultation to discuss the possibilities and limits of modern rhinoplasty for you. Correcting external nasal deformities and reshaping the nose is our specialty.

About nose surgery for patients from Vilnius
This is one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries. It suits adults who want to correct the shape of the nose, whether the issue is congenital or appeared after an injury, and those with impaired nasal breathing. If you are from Vilnius and unhappy with the outcome of an earlier operation, secondary rhinoplasty is also an option after at least a year.
Everything starts with a consultation and nose modelling: the doctor assesses your anatomy, discusses wishes and chooses the correction method. Patients from Vilnius then complete a lab work-up — blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray and a CT scan of the sinuses. Surgery lasts 1.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by one day in the inpatient unit.
Rhinoplasty costs $4,200. For patients from Vilnius, this price already includes the surgery and the surgeon's work, the inpatient stay after the operation, follow-up visits and dressings, and support from a personal coordinator. It covers every type of surgery — open and closed rhinoplasty, tip correction and septorhinoplasty. The first consultation is free; the exact cost is confirmed after an in-person exam.
