The Process

From consultation to recovery

Knowing what happens at each stage from the outset helps you go through the process more at ease. The steps below are general; your personal plan is decided during the examination.

  1. 101

    First consultation and examination

    I listen to your expectations and assess your nose both aesthetically and functionally. We set realistic goals together.

  2. 202

    Planning

    We discuss an approach and technique suited to your facial proportions. How the process will unfold, the possible risks, and the recovery are explained.

  3. 303

    The day of surgery

    The procedure is carried out with the planned technique and under suitable anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions are shared afterward.

  4. 404

    Early recovery (1–2 weeks)

    Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in this period. The splint/packing is usually removed within the first week; follow-up visits are scheduled.

  5. 505

    Social recovery (weeks)

    Within a few weeks, the return to daily life becomes clearer. The swelling gradually decreases.

  6. 606

    The result settling (months)

    It can take months for the nose to take its final shape. Follow-up visits are important during this time. The process varies from person to person.

This timeline is for information only; recovery times vary depending on the person and the technique used.

Let's find the approach that's right for you, together.
