Nose / Nasal Prosthetics
A nasal prosthesis is a removable device that artificially restores the nose and surrounding bone and skin lost as a result of cancer surgery. A nasal prosthesis offers an alternative to rehabilitation when surgical reconstruction of the nose cannot be achieved. An nasal prosthesis can be attached either through the use of adhesives and/or anatomical retention or craniofacial implants. Nasal prostheses are most commonly cast out of a silicone rubber that can be tinted to match the specific pigmentation of the individual.
