How it is done
According to the clinic website, a 3D-CT scan taken prior to surgery is used to analyse the internal structure of the nose, the cartilage, the skin layers and any functional problems, and the findings are reflected in the surgical plan. After detailed examination, a custom design is made and the surgical area is planned. When a hump and a low bridge need correction together, the bone and cartilage causing the hump are shaved and a 3D-customised implant is inserted. A typical hump is corrected by shaving bone and cartilage without an implant. When the hump is severe and the sides are also thick, an osteotomy narrows the overall width, according to the clinic. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient during surgery; consultation, design and the operation are handled by the assigned surgeon, and aftercare consists of follow-up checks by that surgeon and 1:1 care by a dedicated coordinator, according to the clinic.
