Nose Correction

The nose is a central part of the face and is often an area of concern for clients. Concerns range from subtle issues, such as humps and drooping, to more severe structural deviations. Medical Aesthetic techniques are a minimally invasive and effective alternative treatment to classical surgical rhinoplasty that’s able to improve subtle deformities; however, more severe structural deformities will be appropriately advised on surgical consultation.

Treatment

You may be able to achieve the nose you want without the need for invasive surgery. Dermal Filler or Threads may be used to improve subtle nose deformities – these procedures are performed in office, require minimal down time and results may last from 1-2 years.

Your doctor will assess your concerns and advise if you are a candidate that may benefit from non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Dr. Leon Ehlers

Aesthetic Medicine & Aesthetic Gynecology

Dr. Leon Ehlers graduated from the University of Pretoria with the degree MBChB in 1982. After his time in the South African National Defence Force, he started his own medical practice in 1985 in Sunnyridge on the East Rand of Johannesburg. Over the subsequent 19 years he built up a large and successful medical suite where his scope of practice involved general medicine, obstetrics & gynaecology and general surgery including mammoplasty, ENT as well as abdominal surgery.

In 1995 he was considered a pioneer in the field of Sexology and co-ordinated in the Institute of Sexology in Pretoria Hospital’s Urology Department.

In 2004 Dr. Leon sought after a change in pace and a different quality of life and made the decision to move to Umhlanga Rocks. It was considered a massive endeavour to pack up and start up a new practice in a different province after having established such a large medical suite. However, he rose to the challenge and carried out his vision to create a family practice that placed particular emphasis on male and female executive health, and to incorporate general and gynaecological aesthetics as well as anti-aging medicine to provide holistic patient wellness.

In late 2017 he was also involved with establishing The Institute of Aesthetic Options where he currently acts as a consultant, educator and trainer for facial aesthetics and sexual health.

Dr. Leon has over 20 years of experience with aesthetic & anti-aging medicine and frequently hosts educational and training seminars at Aesthetic Options where some of South Africa’s most recognisable and accomplished aesthetic practioners have come together to share knowledge and skills in order to provide our clients with highest quality, science-based aesthetic medicine practices.
