The Golden Rule

Be well informed. An intervention carries its risks: this is why it is absolutely essential to contact serious professionals - be wary of promotions and doctors who do not convince you. To be sure to rely on a competent specialist, you can contact the Italian Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (www.sicpre.org/).

The medical examination

It consists in considering the possibility of being subjected to a corrective intervention with a natural result. The surgeon will show you photos of patients who have already been operated on, to give you a precise idea of ​​the final result. He will then take frontal and profile photos for you, on which he will retouch. For the result of this meeting to be satisfactory, dialogue and trust are important.

The operation

The optimal age to undergo this operation is after 18, when the growth of the nose is now complete. Before this age, doing so is out of the question, because it would involve having to resort to subsequent retouching. The operation lasts from 45 minutes up to several hours, depending on the type of surgery (if it is a question of changing the size or shape of the nose). It is then necessary to consider a day of hospitalization.
