What is a nose correction?
A nose correction, also known as a “nose job” is a surgical procedure that improves the proportions and harmony of the nose in the face.
The goal of a nose correction is to bring the nose into better balance with the rest of your face, resulting in a more natural and harmonious appearance.

Why or when should you consider a nose correction?
A nose correction can address various aesthetic and functional issues of the nose, including:
- Changing the nasal tip: adjusting the shape or position of the nasal tip for better balance and appearance.
- Removing a bump ("hump"): eliminating an irregularity on the nasal bridge to create a smoother nose line.
- Reducing the size of the nose: decreasing the size of the nose to bring it into better proportion with the rest of the face.
What is an ultrasound (Piezo) nose correction?
This is an advanced, improved method for correcting the nose, utilizing ultrasonic technology to enhance precision and accuracy. This approach, also known as “Piezo surgery” offers several advantages over traditional surgical instruments such as rasps and hammers.
The Piezo surgery technique has been known for over 40 years in other medical fields, such as maxillofacial surgery. It was further developed for rhinoplasty by the Parisian plastic surgeon Dr. Gerbault.
What does ultrasonic rhinoplasty involve?
The ultrasonic nose correction uses the Piezo device, an advanced instrument that works with ultrasonic vibrations to gently manipulate bone structures.
This device can be compared to an electric toothbrush in terms of operation, but it is specifically designed for surgical applications.
The Piezo technique offers exceptional precision in sculpting the nasal bone structure.
This allows the bone to be shaped and sculpted without excessive damage to the surrounding tissue.
Because the ultrasound technology is focused on bone structures and less on soft tissue, there is less risk of damage to the surrounding skin and cartilage.
This leads to faster healing and less postoperative discomfort.
What are the benefits of ultrasound nose correction?
- Better visual control: The entire nasal area is more visible during the surgery, allowing the surgeon to work more precisely and avoid unnecessary fractures.
- Less bruising and swelling: The ultrasound technique reduces the chance of excessive bruising and swelling after the surgery, so patients are less marked, which contributes to a faster recovery and resumption of social activities.
- Suitable for brittle bone structures: This technique is particularly useful for patients with thin or brittle bone structures, such as some women or patients aged 40-45 and older.
- Improved symmetry: The precision of the Piezo technique makes it easier to correct asymmetry in the nose, resulting in a more balanced outcome.
What is the difference between an open and a closed nose correction?
A nose correction can be performed through an open or closed procedure:
- An ‘open nose correction‘ in which the skin of the nose is separated from the cartilage. Plastic Surgeon Dr. Nelissen prefers this method because it provides better visibility of the internal structures of the nose, allowing for more precise work. Combined with ‘gentle tissue handling’ (operating as carefully as possible with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues), the swelling time can be well-controlled. The scar is often no longer visible after a few weeks.
- A ‘closed nose correction‘ is performed through an internal incision, which offers less visibility of the internal nasal structures, making it less precise.
How much does a nose correction cost?
The price of a nose correction, including general anesthesia and surgery in our modern operating room, starts from €3100.
After the (non-binding) consultation, you will receive a personal all-inclusive price offer. Then, check the pricing page for a detailed overview of everything included in our nose correction price.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about rhinoplasty
Am I a good candidate for a nose correction?
Suitable candidates for a nose correction are:
- Individuals with a fully developed face
- Individuals without medical conditions, such as ENT problems, that could hinder healing. Be sure to mention during your consultation if your nose has previously undergone surgery, been treated with fillers, or ever had a fracture.
- Non-smokers
How can I prepare for my consultation?
For a nose correction, we usually recommend a second, free preoperative consultation, preferably together with a partner or trusted person.
Some tips:
- Bring old childhood photos of your face, both front and side views.
- Think in advance about the three most important aspects of your nose that you would like to change.
- Don’t forget to mention if your nose has been operated on before, treated with fillers, or ever broken.
What are the possible risks or complications of a nose correction?
Just like any surgery, a nose correction carries potential risks. Read more here about the general complications that can occur with any surgical procedure. The specific risks and complications will be discussed during the consultation and are listed in the pre-op documents.
Satisfied experiences with nose correction
Nose correction
I had been insecure about my nose since my teenage years. After years of searching for the right surgeon who could help me, I found Dr. Nelissen.
And for that, I will always be grateful. I couldn’t have found a better doctor! I had no pain at all?! (Yes, that’s possible), and I was even able to go to work. This is because Dr. Nelissen works with extreme care and precision. You couldn’t be in better hands…
Nose correction
… During the first consultation, as well as the follow-up conversations, I was always warmly welcomed and received plenty of information. On the day of the surgery, I was a bit nervous, but I was quickly reassured by the warm approach of everyone. I did not experience any pain after the surgery and did not need any pain relief. Now, three months later, I am still very happy that I took this step after years of doubt, and I feel good in my own skin again…
Nose correction
… Everyone was super friendly, and all questions were answered quickly and clearly. I am extremely satisfied with my nose now, three months after the surgery—the result is natural and exactly what I expected. The recovery went very well, and the follow-up consultations are also going smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone considering a nose correction.
