Functional and aesthetic procedures on the nose

In addition to a deviated nasal septum, changes to the outer nose, which can occur after accidents for example, often require surgical treatment.

Surgery on the inner and outer nose is one of the most common procedures to improve nasal breathing. Our team identifies the relevant structures that can lead to nasal obstruction and evaluates treatment options. Sometimes the use of local medication, such as cortisone sprays, is sufficient and we look for other non-surgical alternatives.

However, problems with the nasal architecture can often only be helped by surgical treatment, whether on the inner nose (partition) or the outer nose or on both structures. Such procedures can be combined with aesthetic procedures on the outer nose and face. We will be happy to advise you individually and, if required, with photo simulations.

In special cases, a consultation can take place in the interdisciplinary consultation hours for rhinoplasty and plastic surgery, where we carry out consultations and operations together with colleagues from plastic surgery.
