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
