This procedure is ideally suited to a patient who already has good bone structure, but is looking for subtle changes to the tip of their nose. A patient with a longer nose profile may benefit from this surgery.
This is a day surgery performed under local anesthesia and takes around 15-20 minutes to perform. No visible scars are left and the special dressing covering the dorsal of the nose will be removed after 5 days. The healing process should be complete within 3 weeks.
