Nasal prosthesis, attached using magnets

“I was frightened of having a nose that wasn’t my own.

After meeting Ms Riedinger, I felt more confident. You took the time to explain to me all the different stages and you showed me models of prostheses. When I saw my temporary prosthesis, it helped me go through the ordeal of having my nose removed with greater serenity.

The only disadvantage of having a prosthesis fixed with adhesive is cleaning the adhesive off the mucous membranes and sometimes the staying power of the adhesive, which can vary from one day to the next. On the other hand, from an aesthetic point of view, it’s quite amazing. You can only see the difference if you look at it very, very closely.

A few months later, once the abutments have been fitted, I received my nose which was clipped on using small magnets. From an aesthetic point of view it was just as amazing as the prosthesis fixed with adhesive. So what is the difference? My new prosthesis is practical – I can put it on and take it off really quickly. In terms of comfort, it is perfect – so much so that I have already forgotten to take it off when I take my shower because I’d forgotten I was wearing it.

Thank you Anne-Marie Riedinger for having all this expertise and such artful fingers. I hope this little testimonial will encourage other people to benefit from your tremendous know-how. I sincerely thank you for your remarkable work. Thank you so very, very much.”
