Your path to the perfect nose: from dream to reality
A complete guide from first consultation to recovery
Consultation and nose modelling
The doctor assesses your nose, discusses your wishes and runs the necessary checks to choose the best correction method
Pre-surgery check-up
You must complete full lab testing before surgery: complete blood count, biochemistry, coagulation panel, X-rays of the chest and sinuses
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, i.e. intravenous anaesthesia, or classic general anaesthesia, as complexity requires
- Access — open technique (external columella incision) or closed technique (incisions made only inside the nose), chosen by the surgeon
- Bone and cartilage work — performed using an ultrasonic piezo device, minimising trauma to tissue and vessels
- Forming the new nose — tissue is trimmed or a graft is inserted; the bridge, tip, nostrils or septum are reshaped as planned
- Sutures — atraumatic, self-absorbing or cosmetic suture material is used
- Fixation — packing and an external splint are placed to stabilise the shape
Inpatient stay
The clinic's inpatient unit is where all procedures are performed. You stay for one day post-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
Until the year is out, get a post-op consultation with our plastic surgeon free of charge. The doctor evaluates the rhinoplasty outcome, monitors your recovery and responds to all your questions

- Each test must be on a separate form
- The facility's stamp and doctor's signature are required
- In advance of the hospital stay, purchase class 2 compression stockings
- The day you have surgery, take your last food and drink at least 6 hours before the planned time
- 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
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
- The first 24 hours after rhinoplasty are spent in the inpatient unit under medical observation
- Days 1–3: breathing through the mouth; splints remain in the nostrils
- Swelling appears; nasal congestion and bruising are possible
- Day 7: removal of splints. The aluminium splint lasts up to 14 days; the stitches come out with the splint on day 14
- No bending over, touching your nose or wearing glasses
Middle phase
- Swelling eases over time, but the tip and bridge can stay puffy
- 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
- For 1–1.5 months following nose surgery, you may feel slightly congested
- 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
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
May occur in the first days, especially if restrictions are ignored
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. Safe rhinoplasty relies above all on 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. Do not take off the dressing yourself or touch your nose; avoid sport, sun, alcohol and smoking.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis. Prescribed when indicated to prevent infection.
- Follow-up visits. By visiting the surgeon regularly, small deviations are caught and fixed early.
- Psychological readiness. It is important to understand the final result takes 1–1.5 years to show.
Important: if breathing is hard, pain is severe, fever is high or the shape changes after rhinoplasty, get in touch with your doctor straight away.
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 optimal age is from 18 to 45, when the nose is fully developed and tissues heal well. With medical indications, an older patient can have surgery if 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 procedure to reshape the nose's appearance (the aesthetic goal) and enhance its function if breathing is impaired.
Septoplasty — surgical septum correction aimed at normal breathing, while the outer contour of the nose is not changed.
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 carry out rhinoseptoplasty — a combined operation that handles both tasks together
What are the risks of rhinoplasty?
Swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding, temporary breathing difficulties and slight asymmetry are possible, as with any surgery. To minimise risks, City Medical Centre relies on modern techniques, anaesthesia and equipment, along with 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?
During the first days after surgery, splints or swelling may partly block the nasal passages. Breathing is usually fully restored within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and your body
Will there be visible scars?
Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions, so nothing shows on the outside. Open rhinoplasty results in a barely visible scar on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) that almost completely fades with time. Our doctors keep scars minimal with microsurgical techniques and quality sutures
How much will rhinoplasty change my appearance?
Rhinoplasty brings more harmony to facial features and improves aesthetics while keeping your individuality. 3D modelling lets you see the predicted result beforehand and agree on changes 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?
The extent of surgery determines the cost, which is set at the consultation: after examining your nose and facial proportions, the doctor names the exact price.
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?
The initial consultation at City Medical Centre is free of charge: the doctor examines your nose, reviews facial proportions and quotes the exact cost.

Rhinoplasty: the art of harmony and function
Rhinoplasty (nose job) —
one of the most refined and in-demand plastic surgeries, focused on reshaping the nose in harmony with the individual proportions of the nose and the whole face. Modern rhinoplasty goes beyond altering how the nose looks: it is complex surgical work to reach an aesthetic ideal while keeping health intact.
What is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery?
At its heart, rhinoplasty is a comprehensive solution. It deals with both congenital and acquired deformities of the nose, including those after a nasal injury. A dorsal hump or a nose that is too wide are frequent concerns for patients. Correction can also be aimed at the nasal tip (tip rhinoplasty) or the nostrils (alar rhinoplasty). The surgery plan is individual for every patient and reflects all features of the nose.
How is the surgery performed?
Performed under general anaesthesia, rhinoplasty takes 1.5 to 3 hours based on complexity. Two main approaches exist: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The open approach uses a small incision on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), giving the surgeon a complete view of every nasal structure. The closed approach works through incisions inside the nose, with no visible scars left.
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
Care of the nose is needed after surgery. An aluminium splint is fixed on the nose, with special silicone splints inside. Nasal function is reduced for the first days but recovers quickly. The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed in 1–1.5 years, once all swelling is gone.
Why trust the professionals?
Going for rhinoplasty is a big step. Well-done rhinoplasty results in a new nose that blends perfectly with your features and functions flawlessly. At the consultation the surgeon analyses every parameter in detail: nose size, tip projection, the septum and nasal lining. We use 3D modelling so you can view your future nasal proportions ahead of the surgery.
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.

Rhinoplasty in Zaragoza step by step
Many people consider a nose job because of a hump, a wide bridge or a tip they want to refine; others because they cannot breathe freely. Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetics and function. For residents of Zaragoza, it is worth knowing that bone and cartilage are corrected with an ultrasonic piezo device, which keeps trauma to tissue and vessels to a minimum.
Everything starts with a consultation and nose modelling: the doctor assesses your anatomy, discusses wishes and chooses the correction method. Patients from Zaragoza 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 Zaragoza, 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.
