Nasal hump correction.
Do you look at your profile in the mirror and find yourself bothered by a hump, an irregularity or a crooked line on the bridge of your nose? Perhaps your bridge looks too flat or out of keeping with your features. A targeted nasal hump correction can change that.
The bridge of the nose plays a central role in the aesthetics of your face.
Our patients come to us with a wide variety of concerns: many would like a troublesome hump removed, others the straightening of a crooked bridge or the building up of a flat profile. What they have in common is the wish for a harmonious, natural result that fits their face perfectly.
At the Kuzbari Centre we rely on individual solutions that underline your natural beauty without looking artificial.

Rhinoplasty — from the first consultation to the aftercare
Specialisation. Safety. Experience.
There is hardly a clinic in Austria in which more operations in the field of aesthetic nasal surgery are carried out each year. At the Kuzbari Centre no fewer than three specialists devote themselves to facial surgery: Univ. Doz. Dr Rafic Kuzbari, Dr Christoph Grill and DDr. Jessica Wittmann.
From the first consultation with 3D simulation, through the operation in our own high-tech operating theatres, to the aftercare — everything under one roof.
Your nasal hump correction step by step
-
01
The first consultation
Getting to know each other personally, a detailed analysis, a 3D simulation with Vectra technology, before-and-after comparisons and a thorough explanation of the process.
-
02
Preparation
Medical examinations, an anaesthetic consultation, individual surgical planning based on the 3D simulation.
-
03
The operation
The procedure in one of our modern operating theatres. Depending on what is needed, the hump is smoothed, the bridge straightened or a flat profile built up — often combined with further corrections for a harmonious overall result.
-
04
Aftercare & healing
The recovery room, a follow-up conversation, discharge with your surgeon's emergency number, regular check-ups until the final result after 6 – 12 months.
Why is cartilage grafted?
Univ. Doz. Dr Rafic Kuzbari explains why cartilage is grafted in rhinoplasty and how it stabilises the shape in the long term.

A straight profile that suits you.
A harmonious profile changes how a face comes across — and how comfortable you feel in it. After their rhinoplasty many patients describe one thing above all: that the nose finally feels “right” and no longer takes centre stage.
It is precisely that natural, unobtrusive result that we set out to achieve — a profile that complements your features instead of overshadowing them.

Answers about nasal hump correction
Is a nasal hump correction painful?
During the operation you feel nothing thanks to the anaesthesia. After the procedure our patients usually report only mild pain — easily treated with painkillers.
How long does healing take?
After 2 – 3 weeks you are presentable; after 4 – 6 weeks you can resume sport and strenuous activities. The final result is visible after 6 – 12 months, in rare cases only after 18 months.
Will there be scars?
Usually all that remains is a small, barely visible scar on the columella, plus possibly small scars on the bridge of the nose (about 2 mm) or on the nostril wall, depending on what is needed. In some cases it is also possible to operate without a scar, using the closed technique.
Can breathing be affected?
Our specialists take care to preserve or improve the function of the nose. Where necessary a septum correction can be integrated to optimise the breathing.
How much does a nasal hump 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. Slight changes through the ageing process are possible, but they barely affect the result.
