Many of our patients come to us when a previous operation has not turned out as they hoped. Some want to “get rid of their nose as quickly as possible” and “finally look normal” — others above all want to be able to breathe freely again. We listen and work out a way forward.
Within nasal surgery, the correction of noses previously operated on elsewhere — sometimes several times — is a main focus at the Kuzbari Centre. For many years intensive work on aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction and difficult revision operations has been at the centre of our surgical practice.
This specialisation is essential precisely for the correction of previously operated noses: the nose matters for breathing, makes smell possible and protects us from infection. At the same time it gives our face its character. In a procedure, form and function must therefore be taken into account equally — with the utmost precision and years of experience.
The journey of a patient with a previously operated nose is best described through a real person. Even as a child Maria was very unhappy with her nose. She was teased and had no sense of self-worth. At the age of 20 she had her nose corrected at another clinic — and was not satisfied with the result.
She did not feel pretty with her operated nose and could not look at herself in the mirror. With that suffering she turned to us.
DDr. Jessica Wittmann explains the most common irregularities in the shape of the nose and how they can be corrected.
Every journey to a new nose begins with a thorough first consultation. With Maria the conversation lasted more than a full hour — we get to know each other and discuss your personal wishes and concerns.
Communication in particular matters to us: what exactly does someone mean by a nose that is “too big”? Our Vectra 3D simulation provides answers to that — a three-dimensional model of your face that you can shape together with us according to your wishes.
A frequent question: how long does the operation take? The answer: as long as a good result needs. It is not about the shortest operating time, but about the best result.
You leave the clinic before 10 o'clock the very next day. You have the mobile number of your treating doctor with you — reachable outside consulting hours as well.
Univ. Doz. Dr Rafic Kuzbari explains why cartilage is grafted in rhinoplasty and how it stabilises the shape in the long term.
Is a nose that has already been operated on harder to correct? Dr Christoph Grill on revision procedures — scars, missing cartilage and rib cartilage grafts — and on what often weighs even more heavily: lost trust and realistic expectations.
„You will spend the rest of your life with your new nose. If the operation takes half an hour longer in order to improve the result, that is very little time in relation to that.“
