Rhinoplasty (nose correction)

Rhi­no­plasty is the sur­gi­cal res­ha­ping of the nose. Car­ti­la­ge, bone and soft tis­sue can be alte­red, for exam­p­le in the case of a hump, a croo­ked nose or a broad tip.

Appli­ca­ti­on

A distinc­tion is made bet­ween the clo­sed tech­ni­que, in which all incis­i­ons lie insi­de the nose, and the open tech­ni­que with an addi­tio­nal small incis­i­on on the colu­mel­la. Whe­re nasal breathing is impro­ved at the same time, this is cal­led func­tion­al rhinoplasty.

Good to know

The final result only appears after about a year, becau­se swel­ling subs­i­des slow­ly. Smal­ler irre­gu­la­ri­ties can be eve­ned out wit­hout sur­gery using hyalu­ro­nic acid, though only as a sup­ple­ment and for a limi­t­ed time.
