Nose tip correction in Düsseldorf: consultation, operation and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
The correction of your nose tip takes place at the Deutsches Nasenzentrum® of the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the follow-up appointments. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms, so that after the procedure you can stay one night in the building if needed.
You will find the clinic on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and parking on the grounds is free. This also makes the follow-up appointments in the first few days easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch and from Neuss.

Reasons for a correction of the nose tip
Asymmetries of the nose tip
Drooping or broad nose tip
Unbalanced proportions between the nose tip and the rest of the nose
03
What is meant by a nose tip correction?
Nose tip correction is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and proportion of the nose tip. Patients often find their nose tip too broad, too bulbous, asymmetrical or drooping. In a nose tip correction, the nose tip is reshaped, refined or raised so that it suits the other facial features better.
Possible aims of a correction of the nose tip
Refinement of the nose profile in relation to the rest of the face
Adjustment of the nose tip to the facial features
Balancing of asymmetries of the nose tip
More balanced proportions between the nose tip and the rest of the face

How does the treatment work for a nose tip correction?
It begins with a detailed consultation in which the surgeon discusses your wishes and expectations. Examining the structure of the nose and the facial features is the basis for an individual surgical plan. The operation is usually carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia. Depending on its extent, it takes about one to two hours.
After the operation, the nose is often stabilised with a splint to secure the new shape and support healing. Patients stay for a few hours or one night for observation. In the first few days after the operation, follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor the healing process.
This is how your nose tip correction proceeds at the Klinik am Seestern:
Step 1
Beforehand
Consultation in Düsseldorf. We discuss your wishes and expectations and examine the structure of the nose and the facial features. From this, your individual surgical plan emerges; you can book the appointment online.
Step 2
Day of surgery
The procedure. The operation usually takes place under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia and, depending on its extent, takes about one to two hours. A splint then secures the new shape.
Step 3
The first few days
Observation and check-ups. You stay for a few hours or one night for observation. Follow-up appointments take place in the first few days; keep your head raised and 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 several months
The result. The final result is usually visible once the swelling has completely subsided.
06
What restrictions come with a nose tip correction?
As with any surgical procedure, temporary restrictions occur after a nose tip correction. These include swelling and bruising in the area of the nose and around the eyes, which are most pronounced in the first few days after the operation. The nose tip may react sensitively to touch for a while, and pain or a feeling of pressure may occur. Nasal breathing can also be restricted by swelling in the first few weeks. These complaints are usually temporary. During the healing phase, avoid physical exertion and keep your head raised so that the swelling goes down.
07
What does the result of a nose tip correction depend on?
The result depends on the starting situation, the thickness of the skin, the nature of the cartilage, the planning, the surgical technique and the course of healing. If there are breathing problems caused by the structure of the nose tip, the procedure can also improve nasal breathing. The final result is usually only visible after several months, once the swelling has completely subsided.
08
What risks are there with a nose tip correction?
As with any surgical procedure, there are also risks with a nose tip correction. The most common include infections, bleeding, scarring or an undesirable aesthetic result, which in rare cases may require a revision. Temporary swelling, bruising and restricted nasal breathing are normal in the first few weeks. In rare cases, longer-lasting asymmetries or changes in skin sensitivity may occur. Follow the aftercare instructions carefully in order to support healing and reduce risks.

What should I look for when choosing a doctor for a nose tip correction?
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. There should be enough time for the consultation so that your wishes and concerns can be discussed, realistic expectations clarified and the course of the operation explained clearly.
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.

Very beautiful clinic, wonderful reception and great service. The consultation with the doctor was very comprehensive and she addressed all my questions, which is all you could wish for as a patient / customer. I will definitely have my treatment done here.

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.
