Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Nasal augmentation is among the most common request for nasal improvement surgery. Nasal augmentation by implant or autologous cartilage has long-lasting results. The procedure is done by making a small incision in the nostrils or over the columella to build up the nasal bridge and tip. The doctor will modify the cartilage or implant according to the desired nasal height and length. If necessary, surgery on the nasal bone and nose cartilage can also be performed simultaneously to improve the overall appearance of the nose. 

Usually performed under local anaesthesia, nasal augmentation surgery takes about one to three hours and usually leaves no visible scar. The bruising and swelling typically subsides in one to two weeks, and full recovery is expected in four to six weeks.
