Nose Reshaping Surgery in Yokohama

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

Fundamentally, rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution. It treats congenital and acquired nasal deformities alike, for example those caused by a nasal injury. Common complaints are a dorsal hump or an overly wide nose. Correction can also address the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). Every patient receives an individual surgery plan that accounts for all features of the nose.

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.

Rhinoplasty — a procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — correction of the nasal septum by surgery, restoring normal breathing with no change to the nose's outer contour.
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 perform rhinoseptoplasty — combined surgery that deals with both tasks at once

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

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

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

In the early days after the operation, splints or swelling may partially block the nasal passages. Breathing usually recovers fully within 1–2 weeks, depending on the scope of surgery and your body

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

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 is a major step. When rhinoplasty is done well, the new nose blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. During the consultation the surgeon assesses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. With 3D modelling, you can see your future nasal proportions before rhinoplasty is performed.

The operation under general anaesthesia, a one-day stay in the inpatient unit, doctor monitoring and a free check-up after it. The clinic offers the result a lifetime guarantee.

City Medical Centre offers the first consultation free. After examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact cost of surgery.

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.
