Your nose profile is corrected at the Deutsches Nasenzentrum® of the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms: you are advised and operated on there, spend the nights after the procedure in the building and come back for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7.

From all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area, you can reach us quickly.

Reasons for a correction of the nose profile
Nose proportions that do not match the rest of the face
Asymmetries or irregularities in the side profile
Wish for a more balanced side profile
03
What is meant by an adjustment of the side profile of the nose?
Adjusting the side profile of the nose is a form of rhinoplasty that changes the profile of the nose. Often the aim is to remove a nasal hump, smooth the bridge of the nose or adapt the proportions of the nose to the rest of the face. The procedure can have aesthetic and, where there are symptoms, also functional aims.
04
What restrictions come with an adjustment of the side profile of the nose?
After a surgical adjustment of the side profile of the nose, temporary restrictions occur. These include swelling, bruising and possible breathing difficulties in the first few days after the operation. During this time, avoid physical exertion and follow the medical instructions carefully to support healing.
Possible functional aims of a correction of the nose profile
Improved nasal breathing where the structure of the nose is crooked or the airways are narrowed
Relief of symptoms such as a feeling of pressure, provided they are due to structural changes
Stabilisation of the structure of the nose as part of the correction
05
What treatment options are there for the nose profile?
There are various surgical approaches for changing the side profile of the nose. These include removing a nasal hump, straightening the bridge of the nose, reducing or raising the height of the nose, and realigning the tip of the nose. Depending on the findings, these procedures can be combined. The aim is a nose shape that looks natural and suits the face.

How does the treatment work for a surgical adjustment of the side profile of the nose?
It begins with a detailed consultation in which the surgeon discusses your wishes and examines the structure of the nose. The operation is usually carried out under general anaesthesia and normally takes one to two hours. This is followed by a phase of healing and aftercare in which the result gradually stabilises and the final profile becomes visible.
This is how the correction of your nose profile proceeds at the Klinik am Seestern:
Step 1
Beforehand
Consultation in Düsseldorf. We discuss your wishes and examine the structure of the nose; from this, the plan for your procedure emerges. You can book the appointment online.
Step 2
Day of surgery
The procedure. The operation usually takes place under general anaesthesia and normally takes one to two hours. A splint then stabilises the nose.
Step 3
The first few days
In the clinic. You stay one to two nights. Swelling, bruising and breathing difficulties are possible in the first few days; avoid physical exertion.
Step 4
Weeks 1 to 2
Plaster splint. You wear the plaster splint and avoid nicotine, sunbathing and sport; you wash your hair with your head bent forward.
Step 5
After about 14 days
Back to everyday life. The stitches are removed, and you are back out among people after one to two weeks. In most cases you are unfit for work for about 14 days.
Step 6
Up to week 6
No glasses. For the first six weeks after the correction, you do not wear glasses.
Step 7
After the swelling goes down
The profile. The result gradually stabilises; the final profile can only be assessed once the swelling has subsided.
07
What does the result of an adjustment of the side profile of the nose depend on?
The result depends on the starting situation, the nature of the skin, cartilage and bone, the planning, the surgical technique and the course of healing. Where there are functional complaints, the procedure can also improve nasal breathing. The final profile can only be assessed once the swelling has subsided.
08
What risks are there with an adjustment of the side profile of the nose?
As with any operation, there are risks here too. Possible complications include infections, bleeding, scarring or an undesirable result that may require a revision. Temporary swelling and bruising are normal and mostly subside within a few weeks. Careful aftercare supports the healing process and helps to reduce risks.
09
What does a nose profile correction cost in Düsseldorf?
The costs depend on which approaches are combined and how extensive the procedure is. You can conveniently pay in instalments through our financing partner medipay. More on this on the Rhinoplasty page. After your consultation you will receive a no-obligation treatment quote. More on financing under Financing your treatment.

What should I look for when choosing a doctor for a correction of the nose profile?
Make sure that the surgeon has experience in nasal surgery. Find out about the medical qualifications, for example the specialist title and memberships of specialist societies. Ask about experience with the planned procedure during the consultation. Open communication is important so that your wishes and expectations are taken into account.
The Deutsches Nasenzentrum® at the Klinik am Seestern is headed by Dr. med. Michael Bromba. Feel free to arrange an appointment for a no-obligation consultation.
When does German statutory health insurance pay for a nose correction?
If the operation is necessary because of a functional disorder of the nose, private health insurance or Beihilfe (German civil service allowance) may cover part of the costs. This does not apply to the aesthetic part of the nose correction. Please clarify this beforehand with your private health insurance or Beihilfe. For people with statutory insurance, reimbursement by the German statutory health insurance fund is possible if there is a medical indication. You will receive further information in the personal consultation.
How painful is nose surgery and how long is the nose swollen?
Pain after the operation can usually be treated well with medication. Swelling and bruising under the eyes are possible; they have usually subsided by the time the cast is removed.
How long is the stay in the clinic for a nose correction?
As a rule, you can leave the clinic one day after the correction. In a few exceptional cases you stay for a second night for observation. Smaller procedures can be done on an outpatient basis.
How should I behave straight after a nose correction, how long do I have to wear a cast and when can I return to sport?
In the first one to two weeks you wear a plaster splint applied straight after the correction, with an adhesive or acrylic dressing. Avoid nicotine, sunbathing and sport during this time. Wash your hair with your head bent forward. In the first six weeks after the nose correction you should also not wear glasses.
How long will I be signed off sick after nose surgery?
That depends on which type of nose correction is necessary in your case. It makes a difference whether only the tip of the nose is corrected, the nose is straightened or a comprehensive nose correction is carried out. In most cases you are unfit for work for about 14 days, in exceptional cases somewhat longer. In the consultation you will find out how much time off work you should expect in your case.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I really liked the super friendly manner of the ladies at reception, and also that the doctor took the time to see and advise me, as well as the nice lady who went through the cost plan with me. I felt wonderfully looked after and will definitely have my treatment there. Thank you once again for everything so far.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
