Rhinoplasty in Saarbrücken

Every nose is unique. The shape of the nose not only has a significant influence on facial features, it can also affect nasal breathing. The basic features of the nose shape are determined by the bony and cartilaginous framework. Skin thickness, skin irritation or scars also influence the shape of the nose.

What’s a nose job?

The surgical method depends on your wishes for changes, the size, shape and position of the nose as well as the facial proportions. The most common requests for correction are the removal of a nasal bump, straightening or narrowing of the nose, the nostrils or the tip of the nose.

An examination of all structures ensures a balanced and harmonious result. This is best ensured via a very small access below the tip of the nose. In this way, the nasal framework can be displayed and precisely corrected. The access is sutured with threads thinner than a hair, so that the scar is practically invisible.
