Before the operation

The first time you visit us, you get to meet an experienced information nurse who listens to your wishes, goes through the operation and answers your questions.

You will, among other things, get information about the procedure itself and what you can expect, what it costs and how long the waiting time is. You can also fill out a questionnaire about your health condition, any past illnesses and surgeries. We also talk about your expectations. This first visit is always free of charge.

If you choose to proceed, we will book an operating time and a consultation time with one of our plastic surgeons.

Consultation is important. We carefully review your health condition and any medicines you take. It provides an opportunity to talk extensively about all aspects of the operation. You can try a number of different types and models of implants with your plastic surgeon. The end goal is that the result is completely in line with your expectations.

It is good if you prepare for the surgery by staying fit and finding out as much as possible about what applies before, during and after the surgery. For the operation to be as good as possible, you should be on a body mass index (BMI) below 30.

Smoking impairs the oxygen supply to the tissue and in turn delays the wound healing process. It also increases the risk of complications and you should therefore be smoke-free 6 weeks before the operation and until the wound is healed.

We are always on hand to answer your questions.

The skin is also an important part to go through, a thick skin will not put itself over the rebuilt cartilage on the nose, but it will take months for the skin to adapt to the new underlying structure.
Your conditions limit what is possible with your nose. Although the scars are usually not visible, there is always a risk that your skin will heal slowly or otherwise. Bruises on the upper part of the face occur and may persist for a few weeks. Being stuffy in the nose during the first few months is not uncommon but transient. During surgery, the skin is lifted from the nose, which can cause pigmentation in some skin types that may become permanent.

The final result takes about 12 months, so any corrections and further interventions are usually avoided during the first year. The swelling persists long after surgery.

If you suffer from nasal congestion, you should be assessed by a doctor at a hospital before surgery, bring a medical copy to the clinic.

On the day of surgery, you will meet your surgeon. He / she photographs the area of ​​operation if this is not done in conjunction with the consultation.

The procedure is done in local anesthesia in combination with a sedative. The surgery takes about 1-5 hours depending on which body or parts you want to operate. You go home the same day.

that’s how it goes

If you want to book a time for surgery, you can do so after the consultation. Sometimes you want to think about the matter and then call and book a time. Once you have decided and booked an operation time you will receive information material from us. There is comprehensive information and instructions about the procedure and what to think about before, during and after the clinic stay.

Prior to surgery

On the day of surgery, you meet your surgeon, who draws on you. You have the opportunity to ask additional questions if needed. You will be photographed.

The length of the operation depends on the procedure being performed as well as its extent. Prior to the surgery, you will receive pain relief for preventative purposes and also some sedative medicine. The procedure is then essentially painless either in local anesthesia or anesthesia.

After surgery

If the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will be able to stand on your own legs and go home, but not drive your own car. Should you need to rest further at the clinic there is of course that possibility.

If the procedure is performed in anesthesia, you will be rested in one of our awakening rooms. Our employees will take good care of you so that you feel safe with us. It is important to keep in mind that you are not allowed to drive your car home after the procedure.

After the operation, you will be left in the clinic for about 1 hour. As a rule, prescription drugs such as Panodil and Ipren are sufficient as pain relief when you get home.

Before returning home, you will receive a return card with telephone numbers to the clinic and to the surgeon who has performed the operation.

After about 1-2 weeks, you will return for a postoperative check and possibly stitch removal. After a week most people can start working and after 3-6 weeks you can start exercising. Before that, we recommend quiet walks.

It is normal for the surgical areas to be swollen for a long time and in some cases it may take 2-3 months before all swelling has settled.

Bruises in the skin are also common and are harmless but take a few weeks before they fade. To reduce swelling, you should have compression bandage in the areas after surgery, first time around the clock for about 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks daytime. The compression treatment also contributes to a good result. Despite refined techniques in liposuction, irregularities and pitting can occur in the skin and this must be aware of. Before the operation, you and your surgeon must have carefully gone through expectations and realistic results.
