Who is rhinoplasty suitable for?

It is suitable for healthy adults with completed facial and nasal development, realistic expectations, and stable lifestyle habits. It can address cosmetic wishes, functional breathing problems, or both together.

Can my nasal breathing be improved?

Yes, if the cause is structural – such as a deviated nasal septum, enlarged nasal turbinates, or weak nasal valves. In these cases, functional rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty can significantly improve breathing.

What will my nose look like afterwards?

The goal is not a 'standard nose', but a harmonious nasal shape that suits your face and profile. Modern planning takes into account skin thickness, cartilage structure, nasal tip, nasal wings, and your individual wishes.

How long does the operation take?

Depending on the scope, rhinoplasty usually takes about 1.5 to 3.5 hours. For combined septum and nasal correction or complex revision cases, the procedure may take longer.

Is the operation painful?

During surgery, general anesthesia ensures there is no pain. After the procedure, pressure sensation, nasal congestion, swelling, and mild discomfort are normal and can usually be well managed with medication.

Do I have to live with packing?

Not always. Depending on the technique and clinic, packing or breathable silicone splints are used; they are usually removed after a few days. During this time, mouth breathing is initially possible.

How long is the recovery?

The external splint usually remains in place for about 7 to 14 days. Many patients are able to return to work after about two weeks; sport is usually possible again after 4 to 6 weeks; the final result often becomes apparent only after 6 to 12 months.

With the closed technique, the incisions are inside the nose and are not visible from the outside. With the open technique, there is a small scar on the nasal bridge that usually becomes very inconspicuous over time.

Possible risks include swelling, bleeding, infection, numbness, asymmetries, scarring, breathing obstruction, or an aesthetic result that does not meet your expectations. Rarely, a corrective procedure may be required.

When is the final result visible?

A change is apparent immediately after surgery, but is masked by swelling. After about 2 to 3 months, the new shape is already clearly discernible; fine swelling, particularly at the nasal tip, may persist for up to 12 months.

About the treatment

A nose correction (rhinoplasty) is a surgical procedure that changes the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. It can be purely cosmetic or simultaneously correct functional problems such as impaired nasal breathing.

What is it about?

In rhinoplasty, the cartilage, bone, and soft tissue structures of the nose are precisely reshaped. Common concerns include a nasal hump, a deviated nose, an overly wide or drooping nasal tip, flared nostrils, or a deviated septum with breathing difficulties.

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about 1 to 3 hours. Depending on the findings, either an open or closed technique is used; when combining correction of shape and breathing, this is called a septo-rhinoplasty.

Benefits of rhinoplasty

Correction of nasal hump, deviated nose, or wide nasal tip
Improved nasal breathing at structural narrowing points
Combination of cosmetic and functional correction in one procedure
Long-lasting, stable results
Greater confidence and well-being
With closed technique, usually no visible external scars

It is important that a good nose correction always considers both aesthetics and breathing: a beautiful nose should look natural and remain fully functional
