Indication:
Deformations of nose (congenital or accident-caused) Correction of so-called snub noses, saddle noses, humps or curved noses
Operation:
The height, form, width, size and nose breathing can be corrected. Usually the reduction and form changing of
the nasal alar cartilage and new forming of nasal tip are also the part of the operation.
The mostly applied OP-technique is a closed operation method (the incision and treatment only from within the nose),
it begins with the modeling of nasal tip and continues over the treatment of nose bridge with reduction of cartilaginous part of the nose.
The absorbable stitches are mostly used, that shouldn't be removed later, and after the operation the new nose will get either supporting bandage or cast.
In normal case (by inner incision) no obvious scar will remain. An exact planning and explaining of the possibilities and limits of the operative
correction is downright important by nose surgeries.
The surgeon should necessarily take care of this and respond exactly to the desires of patient during
the detailed consultation and develop a treatment concept together with patient.
Anaesthesia:
The nose operations are usually performed under general anaesthesia. The small corrections of the nasal tip and cartilaginous part can be also
done in half-sleep or under local anaesthesia.
Clinic stay:
The inpatient stay in the clinic for one or two days is recommended.
After-care:
Keep your head elevated for 2 days to prevent the increase of swelling, discreet local cold compresses, no physical exertion, the first inspection a
day after surgery, the cast for 14 days.
Provisional effect can be expected within about 6 month, final effect - within about a year.
