Rhinoplasty
A congenital unsightly shape or a fracture are just two reasons for deciding to have a nose job. The nose is the center of the face and therefore always present. If you feel uncomfortable with your nose, an aesthetic correction can give you new self-confidence.

Accidents or certain sports can cause fractures of the nose. Mild fractures usually result in no or minimal visual changes. However, there can also be a major change and the face takes on a completely different overall appearance. A nose that is congenitally too big or a so-called hump can also be a reason for correction. In rare cases, some patients, when surgery is medically necessary, have a correction performed at the same time. The aesthetic correction is always adapted to the face in order to achieve a harmonious overall appearance.
Before the operation
Rhinoplasty can be performed either through the nostrils or through a small skin incision. Both methods offer an almost scarless result. When correcting the nose, excess bone and cartilage are removed to create a symmetrical image. On the other hand, depressions of the nose can also be built up by inserting and sculpting the body's own cartilage.
After the operation
A splint must be worn for about 10 days after surgery. Swelling and hematoma may occur, which will subside in the first 14 days after surgery. In addition, slight respiratory impairment is to be expected during the first few days.

Institute for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
The Institute for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at the Glückstadt Hospital deals with functional, cosmetic, shape-changing and restorative procedures.
Surgical interventions are carried out in this area for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
In order to work as a doctor in this field in Germany, further training as a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery must be completed.
