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
Needed before surgery: a full lab work-up with complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, chest X-ray and sinus X-ray
The surgery
Rhinoplasty is done by the surgeon with the method chosen, under local or general anaesthesia, to correct the nose's shape
Step-by-step surgical process
First comes a one-to-one consultation, 3D modelling of the nose and an assessment of breathing and the septum. Pre-op preparation follows — tests, a CT scan and consultations with specialists — and then the patient has surgery.
- Anaesthesia — TIVA (intravenous anaesthesia) or classic general anaesthesia, depending on complexity
- Access — open technique (external columella incision) or closed technique (incisions made only inside the nose), chosen by the surgeon
- Correcting bone and cartilage — with an ultrasonic piezo instrument for minimal injury to tissues 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 — atraumatic, dissolvable or cosmetic suture materials are applied
- Fixation — to stabilise the shape, packing and an external splint are placed
Inpatient stay
Procedures are carried out in the clinic's inpatient unit. Following surgery, you stay one day there
Recovery period
Following surgery you undergo a recovery course with swelling relief, nose monitoring and care recommendations. Complete healing takes roughly 4 months on average; first visible results come 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

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
- Don't use skin-damaging cosmetic treatments: scrubs, peels, etc.
Important!
- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- For your hospital stay, buy class 2 compression stockings in advance
- On the day of surgery, have nothing to eat or drink for at least 6 hours before your slot
- 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
The recovery period after nose surgery is as important as the surgery. Correct recovery shapes how aesthetic and balanced the final result turns out. City Medical Centre monitors recovery closely and divides it into three phases: early, middle and late
Early phase
- For the initial 24 hours post-rhinoplasty, the patient stays in the inpatient unit under observation
- Days 1–3: splints are in the nostrils, so you breathe through your mouth
- Expect swelling; nasal congestion and bruising may develop
- Day 7: the splints are removed. The aluminium splint remains up to 14 days; stitches are removed on day 14 along with it
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- The swelling eases gradually; the tip and bridge might still be swollen
- For a month: no exercise, bathhouse, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun
- Sleep only on your back, half-sitting
- Avoid glasses and makeup around the nose
Late phase
- Some mild congestion may be felt 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

- The final shape of the nose forms over 1–1.5 yearsStay under your surgeon's care all 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 help recovery go faster and get an ideal 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
Nose surgery is a popular and well-established aesthetic procedure, but it carries certain risks like any other surgery. To minimise possible complications after rhinoplasty, our clinic arranges thorough preparation before and monitoring after the operation.
Possible complications after surgery
Swelling and bruising
A normal body reaction, but excessive cases need monitoring
Bleeding
Can arise in the first days, especially if restrictions are disregarded
Infection
An extremely rare complication caused by poor hygiene
Nose shape irregularities
Asymmetry, septum shift, uneven cartilage fixation
Impaired breathing
May happen due to excess 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. A doctor's skill and experience are central to safe rhinoplasty.
- Full diagnostics before surgery. Covers tests, CT, ECG and exams by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
- Follow the recovery regime. Keep your hands off the nose and the dressing; avoid sport, the sun, alcohol and cigarettes.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. Regular check-ins with the surgeon detect even minor deviations and address them early.
- Psychological readiness. The patient should understand the final result shows in 1–1.5 years.
Important: contact your doctor right away if you notice difficulty breathing, severe pain, high fever or shape changes after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is done with modern technologies and safe materials, under constant medical supervision that minimises complication risk.

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?
Before surgery you have consultations with the plastic surgeon, lab tests (CBC, biochemistry, coagulation, infection tests), an ECG, chest X-ray and a nose X-ray or CT. A week beforehand, quit anticoagulants, alcohol and smoking. Keep meals light the day before, and fast 6 hours before surgery
Rhinoplasty vs septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty — surgery that alters nasal appearance (an aesthetic goal) and improves nasal function when breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical correction of the nasal septum to restore normal breathing, without changing the outer contour of the nose.
When a patient has a deviated septum along with aesthetic concerns, both surgeries are often combined. This gives a harmonious look and brings back full breathing. At City Medical Centre . we provide rhinoseptoplasty — a combined procedure that resolves both tasks at once
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
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 will I see the result?
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
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?
In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are internal, so no external scars remain. Open rhinoplasty leaves a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that fades almost completely with time. Our doctors use microsurgical techniques and quality sutures to keep scarring minimal
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
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
Rhinoplasty cost at City Medical Centre?
The price of rhinoplasty at City Medical Centre is $4,200 instead of $6,000 with the current discount. First consultation: free.
What does the rhinoplasty price depend on?
Pricing depends on the extent of surgery and is set during the consultation: the doctor gives you the exact figure after examining your nose and facial proportions.
What does the rhinoplasty price include?
Surgery under general anaesthesia, one day spent in the inpatient unit, ongoing doctor monitoring and a free post-op check-up. The clinic gives a lifetime guarantee on the result.
How much is a consultation?
First consultation at City Medical Centre — free. The doctor looks at your nose, analyses facial proportions and tells you the exact cost of surgery.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most delicate and popular plastic surgeries, aimed at reshaping the nose in line with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty is not just a surgery to change how the nose looks, but complex surgical work to achieve an aesthetic ideal without harming 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?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. There are two main approaches: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a full view of all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is done through incisions inside the nose and leaves no visible scars.
Your surgeon chooses the technique according to your goals. For example, the open approach is often required to correct an upturned nose or perform complex reshaping of the nasal bones and bridge.
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 a significant step. Done well, it gives you a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and works without flaws. The surgeon assesses every parameter in detail at the consultation: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. Thanks to 3D modelling, you see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.
Looking up rhinoplasty photos online is only a start. Book a consultation to discuss what modern rhinoplasty can and cannot do for you. We specialise in reshaping the nose and correcting external nasal deformities.

Rhinoplasty in Warsaw step by step
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 Warsaw should know the contraindications too: decompensated chronic disease, skin damage or inflammation in the area.
Preparation begins about 21 days before surgery, when the plastic surgeon hands over the list of tests. Three to five days before, stop smoking and alcohol, cut salty, fatty and spicy foods and avoid peels or scrubs. On the day itself, the last food and drink should be at least six hours before the operation. This routine is the same for every Warsaw patient.
Rhinoplasty costs $4,200. For patients from Warsaw, 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.
