Rhinoplasty: our range of procedures

Functional, aesthetic, revision — or all of it together?

We plan every nose individually rather than according to a standardised procedure. And because no nose and no face resembles another, we pay particular attention to individual facial proportions, so that the change fits harmoniously into the overall picture and looks entirely natural — not operated on.

Thanks to refined surgical techniques and a differentiated approach, modern nasal surgery can do far more than change a shape. The range of nasal treatments is therefore almost as varied as the concerns our patients bring with them.

How we work technically

A great deal is said about the results of rhinoplasty and very little about the way there. Yet it is precisely the technique that decides whether a result still looks the same after ten years as it did after ten months. Six things shape our work on the nose.

The nasal bridge stays where it is

We work a great deal with the modern nose-bridge-preserving technique, known as dorsal preservation, as well as with hybrid techniques — not exclusively with the traditional structural septorhinoplasty. The natural nasal bridge is preserved instead of being removed and rebuilt.

This has three advantages: the result looks particularly natural, it is stable in the long term, and the risk of later irregularities on the nasal bridge is reduced — which matters above all with thin skin, because there every tiny edge becomes visible. Certain deviations also recur less often. The nose-bridge-preserving technique is not generally superior, but for many findings it is the gentler choice.

The nasal tip is supported, not just shaped

We stabilise the nasal tip using modern cartilage-supported techniques. This considerably reduces the risk of drooping of the nasal tip over the years.

Ultrasound works on the bone

If the bony part of the nose has to be altered, the piezotome is used — an ultrasound instrument that cuts and smooths bone while leaving soft tissue, mucous membrane and blood vessels untouched. For patients this means more precise work on the bone and, as a rule, fewer bruises and less swelling in the days afterwards. Honest classification matters to us: the piezotome is not a rhinoplasty method in its own right and does not automatically make a nasal operation better. It is a tool for one step. We use it as standard in every nasal operation.

The operating time follows the findings

A rhinoplasty here takes one to four hours. That range is deliberate: we operate in our own operating theatres and therefore without time pressure — for as long as it takes for every detail to be right. How long a procedure takes is decided by the findings, not by the appointment schedule.

Thick skin and ethnic nasal shapes

Noses with thick skin, a broad bony base, a low bridge or a tip with little definition call for a different strategy from the classic reduction. Definition here does not come from removing volume, but from a stable cartilage framework carrying the tip against the soft tissue — building up rather than taking down, together with careful handling of the soft-tissue envelope. To that end, Dr. Christoph Grill and DDr. Jessica Wittmann spent a fellowship in Brazil in 2026 working intensively with new and modern techniques of rhinoplasty. The character of the nose is preserved in the process; a standard nose is not the goal.

Measured, not estimated

During her nasal operations DDr. Jessica Wittmann works with the projectometer — a sterile measuring instrument with a millimetre scale and a protractor that records the projection of the nasal tip and the height of the bridge. The baseline value is taken before the first step, then measured again after every step and compared with the plan from the 3D simulation. This makes it possible to check in theatre whether the bridge has been reduced by the planned amount and the tip raised accordingly.

We really do take our time: the initial consultation

A nasal operation has to run precisely, and that begins long before the day of surgery. This is why we take over an hour for you as early as the initial consultation. A great deal happens in that hour — and if you are interested in a rhinoplasty, you should not miss it.

The greatest possible safety

In medicine, the greatest possible safety always arises when three factors come together: the quality of the medical team, modern technology and time for the patient. The Kuzbari Centre for Aesthetic Medicine invests deliberately in all three.

We have three modern operating theatres equipped for aesthetic procedures. Our team works exclusively in aesthetic medicine. As a licensed hospital we are inspected several times a year by independent bodies; our own hygiene team and a quality management team work continuously on our standards. Read more

Results

The results achieved at the Kuzbari Centre after rhinoplasty speak for themselves. Before-and-after photographs, however, only ever show what was possible with one particular starting point — not what is possible for you. That requires an examination.

Who operates on noses at the Kuzbari Centre

Three specialists at the centre operate on noses. Whoever advises you also operates on you — and sees you again at the check-ups.

Costs and payment by instalments

The price depends on the effort involved. A first operation is the simpler case. A nose that has already been operated on costs more: scars, altered tissue and missing cartilage make the work more demanding, and a graft from the ear or rib is often necessary.

An initial consultation with three-dimensional simulation, a technique that suits your nose, and an operating time determined by the findings — this effort is the reason why a rhinoplasty has its price here. It is also the reason why the result is meant to last: a lifetime, not a few years.
