The nose is a central part of our face and plays a key role in shaping its expression and harmony. If the nose is perceived as disturbing – whether for aesthetic or functional reasons – a nose correction can help. Modern nasal surgery offers a wide range of options for improving the appearance of the nose and optimizing nasal function at the same time. In this article, you can find out more about the methods and benefits of rhinoplasty.

What methods are available?

The nasal surgery includes both minimally invasive procedures and more extensive surgical interventions. The choice of method always depends on the individual requirements and wishes. Here are the most common approaches:

Nasal narrowing
A wide nose is often caused by excess cartilage or bone material. Surgical nasal narrowing involves the precise removal of this material. There are also minimally invasive alternatives for purely visual adjustments: Hyaluronic acid injections can make the nose appear narrower by lifting and harmonizing the tip of the nose.

Nose reduction
If the nose appears too large in relation to the face, a reduction can help. Surgery is used to remove excess tissue or bone material, while minimally invasive techniques such as hyaluronic acid or crystal cortisone can gently sculpt the shape – without the need for surgery.

Nose tip correction
An asymmetrical or inharmonious nose tip can make the entire face appear unbalanced. Depending on requirements, the tip of the nose can be shaped with hyaluronic acid, autologous fat or crystal cortisone. For long-term results, the cartilage can be surgically sculpted or high-quality implants can be inserted.

Nasal hump correction
A prominent nasal hump, often referred to as a “hooked nose”, can be surgically removed or optically balanced with hyaluronic acid injections. This minimally invasive method is particularly popular as it offers quick results without much downtime.

Nose correction (revision rhinoplasty)
Minor blemishes or functional problems may occur after a previous nose operation. These are either corrected in a minimally invasive manner using hyaluronic acid or autologous fat or – in the case of major procedures – optimized by a repeat operation.

Nose reshaping
Nose reshaping is an excellent option for aesthetic adjustments without surgery. The contours of the nose can be shaped and harmonized using hyaluronic acid or crystal cortisone. The results are immediately visible and require hardly any recovery time.

Advantages of modern nasal surgery

A rhinoplasty can achieve much more than just a visual change. Here is an overview of the most important advantages:

  • Aesthetic improvement: A harmonious nose blends in perfectly with the overall appearance of the face.
  • Functional optimization: Treatments such as the correction of a crooked nasal septum can improve breathing.
  • Gentle procedures: Minimally invasive methods offer quick results with minimal stress.
  • Individual solutions: Nasal surgery enables customized treatments that are tailored to your wishes.
  • Boosting self-confidence: Many patients report increased self-esteem after rhinoplasty.

What should you look out for before a rhinoplasty?

A thorough consultation is the most important step. Specialists analyze not only your wishes, but also the anatomical conditions of your nose. The possibilities of rhinoplasty, the chances of success and any risks are discussed in detail. It is important to have realistic expectations, as every nose is unique.

Conclusion

Modern nasal surgery offers numerous options to improve the appearance and function of your nose. Whether minimally invasive techniques or surgical procedures – the choice of method depends on your personal goals and requirements. A professional consultation by experienced specialists will help you find the right solution.
