Nostril correction.
Do you feel uncomfortable because your nostrils look too wide, asymmetrical or out of keeping with your face? Perhaps you find your nose too dominant, when in fact it is only the shape or width of the nostrils that bothers you. A targeted nostril correction can change that.
The nostrils play a decisive role in the harmony of your face.
Our patients come to us with a wide variety of concerns: some would like narrower nostrils, others a correction of asymmetries or an adjustment that makes their nose look more proportionate. What they have in common is the wish for a natural, aesthetic result that complements their personality perfectly.
A precise analysis often shows that with a nostril correction the tip or other parts of the nose should also be corrected for a harmonious result. We model the result you want together with you on the Vectra 3D model.
Too crooked, too broad, too pointed?
DDr. Jessica Wittmann explains the most common irregularities in the shape of the nose and how they can be corrected.

From the first consultation with 3D simulation, through the operation in our own high-tech operating theatres, to the aftercare — everything under one roof.

The best part: what people see is not the operation, but simply a coherent whole.

Answers about nostril correction
Is a nostril correction painful?
After the procedure our patients usually report a slight feeling of tightness or pressure — both easily treated with painkillers.
How long does healing take?
After 1 – 2 weeks you are presentable; after 4 – 6 weeks you can resume sport and strenuous activities. The final result is visible after 6 months.
Will there be scars?
The incisions are usually placed at the base of the nostrils and are mostly barely visible once healed. Where possible, scar-sparing techniques are used.
Can breathing be affected?
Our specialists take care to preserve the function of the nose. The nostril correction is carried out in such a way that the airways are not restricted.
How much does a nostril correction cost?
The cost depends on the extent of the procedure. At the first consultation you receive a transparent quotation.
Is the result permanent?
Yes, the results are permanent. Minimal changes through the ageing process are possible, but they barely affect the result.
