Surgery of the Nose (Rhinoplasty)
Brief Summary:
- Duration of the procedure: from 1 to 3 hours depending on the preoperative findings
- Type of anaesthesia: general anaesthetic, only minor corrections are carried out using local anaesthetic
- Outpatient treatment, possibly with medical supervision in a hotel during the first night
- Presentable after about 10 days
Indication:
Deformations of the nose (congenital or due to injury)
Reshaping of crooked noses, dorsal humps, saddleback deformities, nose tips, rhinophyma (ruddy, bulbous noses)
Operation:
The operation is individually planned and carried out on the basis of our findings. The procedure is carried out either from inside the nose – so that there will be no visible external scars – or from the columella of the nose (leaving a slightly visible scar).
After the operation:
- Cool the nose area
- Keep your head raised to reduce swelling
- Sutures (if needed) are removed after 5 – 7 days
- Avoid strenuous activities such as sports for 4 weeks
