What did Sarah Liebich say about her nose job?
Sarah Liebich, the German reality-TV personality and influencer, had the operation she had clearly wanted for a long time: a rhinoplasty, performed a few weeks before she spoke about it in November 2025. As Promiflash reported on 5 December 2025, she showed the before-and-after to her followers and put her feeling into one sentence: “Endlich liebe ich mein Seitenprofil.”

WhatsAppIn her Instagram video she was still visibly swollen — and unbothered by it: “Mein Profil von der Seite? Ich kann's nicht anders sagen... ich bin jetzt schon richtig, richtig glücklich damit.” Her point was the profile she had waited years to like, not perfection on day one; she openly accepted the residual swelling as part of the process.
That is what this article relies on: her own statements in the report. Everything below describes rhinoplasty in general, not her treatment.
Why her story matters
The sentence “Endlich liebe ich mein Seitenprofil” — finally — is the whole patient journey in one word. A rhinoplasty changes a feature a person has looked at critically for years, and the emotional payoff arrives in stages: first the operation, then the splint off, then the swelling down, and only months later the final shape.

Sarah Liebich showed the honest middle of that journey — happy, swollen, and patient at the same time.
Her case is also the plain-vanilla version of the operation: no trauma, no breathing complaints in the foreground — a bridge refined so the profile matches how she wants to see herself. That is the most common rhinoplasty there is, and her decision to say it out loud, swelling included, gives a truer picture than any polished after-photo.

How rhinoplasty is done today
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage framework of the nose: it can lower a bridge, remove a hump, refine the tip, straighten a deviated bridge, narrow the base or correct asymmetry. The work happens through incisions hidden inside the nostrils (closed technique) or through a small incision across the columella (open technique). When breathing problems are part of the picture — a deviated septum — the operation becomes a rhinoseptoplasty and fixes function and shape in the same session.
Closed rhinoplasty
- What it does
- Reshaping through incisions inside the nostrils
- When it is used
- Moderate bridge or tip work, no major reconstruction
Open rhinoplasty
- What it does
- Direct view of the framework via a small columella incision
- When it is used
- Complex tip work, asymmetry, revision cases
Rhinoseptoplasty
- What it does
- Corrects the septum together with the outer shape
- When it is used
- Deviated septum, breathing problems plus aesthetic goals
Revision rhinoplasty
- What it does
- Corrects or improves a previous operation
- When it is used
- Unsatisfying result from an earlier surgery
Which approach fits is decided at the consultation, on the anatomy — not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate, and how to prepare
The right candidate is an adult whose facial growth has finished, in stable health, with clear, realistic goals and a nose whose breathing works or can be fixed in the same operation. Contraindications include active infection in the area, uncontrolled chronic disease, blood clotting disorders, and anything that rules out safe general anaesthesia.
- Formulate your goal in profile terms — “flatter bridge”, “refined tip” — not in someone else's face.
- Plan two quiet weeks: swelling and bruising are visible and normal, exactly the stage she posted through.
- Bring your medical history including previous nasal operations, injuries and medicines; the surgeon decides which tests are needed.
- Stop smoking and blood-thinning medicines for the period the doctor specifies — both slow healing.
What recovery looks like
The first 24 hours pass in the clinic under monitoring. Swelling and bruising around the eyes peak in the first three days — mouth breathing with splints in place feels strange but is normal. Nasal splints come out around day 7; the external splint stays up to two weeks, and most people look presentable to strangers again by day 14. A month without exercise, sauna, pool and sun follows.
Breathing eases over the first weeks, healing completes by about four months, and the final shape settles over one to one and a half years — which is why loving the new profile, as she already does, usually deepens as the swelling fades.

How recovery after rhinoplasty usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia or TIVA; the first 24 hours in the inpatient unit under monitoring.
- Days 1–3Mouth breathing with splints in the nostrils; swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal.
- Day 7Nasal splints come out; the external splint stays up to 14 days.
- Day 14Stitches removed; most people look presentable to strangers again.
- Weeks 2–4No exercise, sauna, pool, hot baths or sun for a month after surgery.
- Months 1–18Congestion eases, healing completes by about four months, final shape settles over 1–1.5 years.
