At Dr. Fichman’s clinic, the patient journey in facial and nasal surgery is approached as a continuous medical process rather than a single procedure.

High-quality, stable outcomes begin long before entering the operating room and continue throughout recovery. Each stage is guided by precision, transparency, and a long-term clinical perspective.

Close medical follow-up is provided, alongside dedicated support from an experienced nurse and the clinical team, ensuring continuity of care before and after surgery.

Consultation and Diagnosis

The first step is a comprehensive, personalized consultation. Dr. Fichman emphasizes precise diagnosis of facial or nasal structure, soft tissue quality, skeletal framework, and respiratory function, alongside careful attention to the patient’s concerns.

This stage is essential for setting realistic expectations and, in some cases, making the informed decision not to operate or to postpone the procedure.

Surgical Planning and Imaging

A personalized surgical strategy is developed for each patient. When appropriate, 3D imaging is used as a professional tool to illustrate surgical possibilities and anatomical limitations.

Imaging is not a guarantee of outcome but supports clarity and transparency in decision-making. The principle of surgical planning is based on deep anatomical knowledge, clinical experience, and structural understanding of facial relationships.

Surgery, Recovery, and Follow-Up

Preoperative preparation includes a detailed explanation of the procedure, potential risks, and expected recovery.

On the day of surgery, emphasis is placed on safety, structural stability, and precise intraoperative decision-making.

Recovery includes structured medical follow-up and full availability of the clinical team until gradual stabilization of the natural result.

The focus extends beyond appearance to long-term stability and harmony with the patient’s anatomy.
