BeforeAfter

The first aesthetic and functional nasal reshaping operation, performed on people who have never had nasal surgery.

Surgical approach and technique

The patient's facial proportions - forehead, chin, lip - are analysed and the surgery is planned for the individual. Both the airway and the aesthetic form are addressed.

Who is it for?

Suitable for people over the age of eighteen who are not content with the shape of their nose or with the quality of their breathing.

Recovery

The splint and silicone are removed on the seventh day. The refinement of the nasal shape is a process that takes 6-12 months.

Back to desk work: approx. 7 days. Social recovery: approx. 14 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
