Rhinoplasty in Zug: For harmonious facial features

To put it in simple words, the nose can be reduced, widened, narrowed, straightened and reshaped by correcting the position of the bones and cartilages. Similarly, various parts of the nose, nasal tip and nostrils can be altered with surgical and minimally invasive procedures. When performing rhinoplasty, I prefer open rhinoplasty to have a good view of the nasal cartilage and bone. During rhinoplasty, I reshape your nose by adjusting cartilage and bone structures to refine your overall appearance and boost your self-confidence.

After a detailed preliminary discussion and individual planning, I perform the rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. I first start with the correction of bone bumps and deformities. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose by adjusting cartilage and bone structures to refine your overall appearance and boost your self-confidence.

Next, I address nasal congestion and airway obstruction, reshaping the septum and reducing the inflammatory tissue of the turbinate. I complete the procedure by refining and reshaping the tip of the nose.

In an open rhinoplasty, the skin of the tip is lifted to expose the entire internal framework. The direct view allows for fine-tuning of the tip and placement of cartilage grafts. Many patients fear an external scar, but the scar is hidden in the narrowest part of the columella and is not noticeable even on close inspection.

After surgery, you will be cared for by our nursing team in your private patient room.

Rhinoplasty has evolved into a fine, refined procedure. The days of violent fractures and heavy hammer blows to the nasal bone are a thing of the past. Nowadays, nose surgery is a precisely planned operation. Accordingly, the post-operative recovery period has shortened. Also, the development of pain is much less compared to previous surgeries. 

You yourself, like each of my patients, are individual. That is why each procedure is also individual. The entire procedure can take between two and four hours, depending on its complexity. Immediately after the rhinoplasty, you will be cared for by our nurses in your private ward room.

The recovery time after the procedure is amazingly fast, for such a complex and transformative surgery. After a few hours, you can go to the privacy of your home, after medical clearance. You will be given pain medication with carefully indicated post-operative instructions. At Dr. Kelly®, we also offer you the option of spending the night after surgery in a private patient room. A nursing team will be there for you around the clock.

After the procedure, I remove the nose splint (external plastic nose fixation) and the stitches usually already on the 6th day after the nose correction. The extent of bruising and swelling may vary depending on the patient, but within two weeks you will be ready to return to work and generally participate in social life again. A great advantage is certainly the home office, which offers you a healing period while you are still able to work.

Once the swelling has gone down, most of my patients are pleasantly surprised and can already see the results of the rhinoplasty.
Although your profile will improve immediately after the procedure, the final results will not be seen for 6-12 months.

Contact lenses can be worn immediately, but glasses must be taped to the forehead or propped up on the cheeks for six weeks. The results of rhinoplasty are generally permanent, but the cartilage and soft tissue of your nose may change over time.

The results of a nose job are permanent. Therefore, the nose surgery must be carefully planned. Often my patients first ask for a non-invasive rhinoplasty, i.e. a nose correction without surgery, before they decide on surgery. However, the cartilage and soft tissue of your nose can change over time.

In my practice, your well-being and an optimal result is our top priority. Each patient has an individuality whose needs are the focus of my treatments. Therefore, it is not always possible to give a general estimate of the costs. Therefore, please understand that we cannot give generally valid prices for nose correction. The costs of each surgical treatment also depend on the personal initial situation and your wishes.
