Preparation for the procedure:
Consultation with a plastic surgeon – detailed discussion of expectations and the surgical plan
Laboratory tests
Discontinuation of anticoagulants at least 14 days prior to the procedure (after consultation)
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 14 days before surgery.
On the day of the procedure – facial hygiene without makeup or creams
The course of the procedure
The procedure usually takes 1.5–3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
The surgeon makes precise incisions (open technique with a small scar on the columella or closed technique), shapes the cartilage and bones of the nose, removes the hump, or corrects the septum.
The final shape of the nose is individually tailored to the proportions of the patient's face.
Excess skin is removed and the incision lines are closed with great care to ensure aesthetic scarring.
After the operation, a thermoplastic splint and delicate dressings are placed inside the nose.
The stay at the clinic usually lasts 24 hours.
Recovery and post-treatment recommendations:
Nose splint for approx. 7–10 days
Possible bruising and swelling around the eyes – gradually subsides within 2–3 weeks
Avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 4–6 weeks.
No sunbathing or solarium use for at least 6 months – use high UV filters
Check-ups: after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months
The full effect is visible after approx. 6–12 months, when the deep swelling subsides.
Possible complications and risks:
Hematoma, postoperative bleeding
Infection
Swelling that persists for several weeks or months
Nasal asymmetry or unsatisfactory aesthetic effect
Scar on the columella (in open technique) – usually thin and barely visible
Persistent sensory disturbances in the skin of the nose
