Nose correction

The nose takes a central, permanently present part in the face. If it doesn't harmonize with the remaining face contours, the unsightly nose influences the self-esteem. The reasons for nose deformities can be for inborn or accident conditional.

One should not let a nose operation carry out year of life ahead of 18 but wait for until the nose shape doesn't change by the physical growth events any more.

The individual phenotype of the nose is, not least the skin composition stamped of the different bone structures and cartilages. As a rule, size, shape, height and margin of the nose can be corrected, or else the nasal breathing. In addition, the surgeon can reduce the sides of the nose and form the tip newly. Depending on need the surplus cartilages are taken down or the deformed areas straightened.

Becomes the nose correction when open or when an internal rhinoplasty carried out. The surgeon reaches a small incision at the open technique at the nose footbridge to the bone and cartilage structures which are modeled newly. The internal operation by the nose sheath wall has the advantage that no visible scars stay behind.

As a rule, the operation is carried out into general anesthesia. Smaller corrections can be carried out also in a local anesthesia. The operation lasts up to two hours. A stationary stay is recommended.

The health insurances take on the operation costs the nose breathing hindered in the trap of a bent nose sheath wall or case malpositions.

The nose still can change up to a year after the operation. One sees first permanent results only after a month.

After approx. two weeks one is socially acceptable again.

A thorough advice conversation is very important at the nose correction. The initial positions of the nose and the corrections to be carried out are individual. The physician should therefore inform the patients about the possibilities and limits of a nose correction comprehensively. Nose corrections can often be very effortful and ask a three-dimensional way of thinking and great skill of the surgeons. Computer animations help to anticipate very beautiful results occasionally. However, these aren't only conditionally practicable in the practice. The competence of the physician has to be judged better with before-/ afterward images
