Pre- & Postoperative Care

• Tampons (if used) are removed after 1–2 days
• Final result visible after approx. 6–12 months, depending on skin type and the extent of correction
• Manual lymphatic drainage

  Risks
• Bruising and swelling, especially around the eyes, are common and typically subside after 7–10 days
• Asymmetries or dissatisfaction with the shape (rare with realistic expectations)
• Functional breathing impairment (rare – proactively addressed in planning)
• Secondary corrections may be required in 5–10% of cases due to healing or tissue behavior
• Infections, scarring (rare in open technique)
• Temporary sensory disturbances
  

Costs

The cost of rhinoplasty is determined individually and depends on the technique and extent of the procedure.
Functional-only indications (e.g., for breathing) with health insurance coverage are not offered in our clinic.
A detailed cost estimate will be provided after a personal consultation.

Financing

Flexible financing options are available in collaboration with Cashmed Medical Financing.

Surgical Preparation

To support optimal healing after surgery, we recommend targeted micronutrients, collagen supplements, and trace elements. These help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the immune system.
