Rhinoplasty in Düsseldorf

Rhinoplasty is, in many cases, an aesthetic procedure. If you are not satisfied with your nose, rhinoplasty could be an option for you. Yet, functional impairments can also necessitate a procedure. At the KOEBE KLINIK, we can combine functional and aesthetic corrections in one procedure.

At our clinic, Dr Dr Norman Koebe will discuss with you in person whether the procedure is an option in your case and which technique is most appropriate. It may be necessary to use our clinic’s DVT (digital volume tomography) imaging device. DVTs facilitate particularly focused and precise surgical planning. The DVT functions in much the same way as tomography, but exposes patients to substantially reduced radiation. With the aid of the digital volume tomography, we can examine the tissue and bone structures and the entire internal architecture of the nose; it even allows us to pinpoint the nerve channels. This is a significant advantage as we work to align the patient’s wishes with their existing anatomy.

The steps involved in surgical nose correction depend to a large extent on the selected method and the patient’s wishes. Our specialist, Dr Dr Norman Koebe, will give you detailed advice on the most suitable method for you. In general, a distinction is drawn between closed and open rhinoplasty.

Closed rhinoplasty

During a closed rhinoplasty, Dr Dr Norman Koebe performs the procedure via the patient’s nostrils. This type of operation results in very minimal scarring. It only involves two small incisions inside the nostrils.

The scope of correction possible in this method is limited. At our clinic, we use closed rhinoplasty to remedy small flaws and irregularities. However, this minimally invasive technique allows us to markedly improve patients’ breathing and implement aesthetic changes.

Open rhinoplasty

In open rhinoplasty, in addition to the incisions in the nostrils, Dr Dr Norman Koebe also makes a small incision in the bridge of the nose. This allows him to detach the skin from the tip of the nose and shift it upward. It provides much greater access to the nasal structures, allowing the surgeon to perform corrections in a precise and targeted manner. Open rhinoplasty can achieve more extensive corrections than the closed procedure. Many procedures, such as straightening a deviated septum, often require open rhinoplasty.

KOEBE® rhinoplasty is a holistic surgical nose correction method developed by Dr Dr Norman Koebe. At its heart is the incorporation of all necessary aesthetic and functional changes to achieve permanent results and deliver long-lasting satisfaction. We optimise function and aesthetics to create a thoroughly pleasing outcome for the patient. We also aim to shape the nose in such a way that it will always suit the person’s face even as they age. Doing so requires a certain version and an understanding of the complex changes the face undergoes, including as we age. In this regard, Dr Dr Norman Koebe is a true specialist who takes every aspect into consideration.

KOEBE® rhinoplasty allows us to treat tissue structures with the greatest possible care. It minimises post-surgical swelling and pain while keeping the risk of complications and the need for follow-up operations to an absolute minimum.

This allows us to offer our patients a treatment option with a much shorter recovery time; the severity of this procedure is markedly less than alternative methods. Dr Dr Norman Koebe will specifically tailor the KOEBE® rhinoplasty to your needs and your individual case. From the first consultation through to post-operative aftercare, our specialist will care for you closely to achieve the best possible aesthetic and functional outcome.

In general, you should stop taking anticoagulant or blood-thinning medication at least two weeks before your nose correction. This also includes over-the-counter medications such as aspirin.

Our specialist, Dr Dr Norman Koebe, will hold a detailed consultation with you to discuss any specific instructions.

If you have been prescribed anticoagulant or blood-thinning medication, our specialist will discuss the necessary preparations for special medications.

What type of scars will develop and how visible they will be depends on the surgical method used. At our clinic, we attach great importance to achieving results with minimal scarring.

Following an open rhinoplasty, a small inconspicuous scar will develop on the bridge of the nose. In a closed rhinoplasty, we perform the procedure through the nostrils so that no visible scars usually remain.

You should avoid strenuous physical exertion for two weeks after the procedure to avoid disrupting the healing process. You should avoid sports for at least four weeks after the procedure.

At the KOEBE KLINIK, we perform corrective nose surgery under general anaesthetic. The procedure itself is therefore painless. If you experience pain after the operation, this can usually be treated effectively with mild painkillers.

Like all surgical procedures, rhinoplasty involves certain risks. At the KOEBE KLINIK, we will explain the surgical risks in detail in a face-to-face discussion. Dr Dr Norman Koebe is a dual-certified specialist with decades of experience – a factor that significantly reduces the risks involved. You’re in safe hands here at the KOEBE KLINIK.
