Empty nose syndrome

A personal consultation with a doctor is an excellent opportunity for you to find out all details of the program and get an individual prognosis. All the medical information you provide will be carefully reviewed so that you get the most effective treatment. The procedures take place in our clinical institutions in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The course of the treatment is developed individually and lasts 4 days or more.

During the checkup, the doctor assesses your readiness for cell therapy. If the assessment is positive, biological materials are taken. Depending on your doctor's recommendations, you may be prescribed your own* or donor stem cells.

* If you are prescribed the treatment with your own cells, you will have an ear punch biopsy performed under anesthesia in an operating room. The procedure lasts for 15 minutes. The punch depth is up to 4 mm, and the diameter is up to 3 mm.

OWN CELLSAfter the biomaterials are collected, our team of biotechnologists will prepare a therapeutic dose of stem cells. In our laboratory, we will select stem cells from your sample, grow the required number of cells, test them, then create a stem cell product for your treatment. Usually, the production takes up to 21 days.
DONOR CELLSAccording to the doctor's prescription, the biotechnologist will select a ready-made and pre-tested sample of donor cells from our cryobank in the required quantity. In this case, cell injection can happen immediately after diagnosis and drug preparation.

During your first visit to the clinic, you will consult with a doctor, then have an instrumental (including electromyography), clinical, and laboratory checkup.

As part of treatment, the doctor may prescribe local and intranasal administration of the cell drug. Both procedures can be performed 1-2 times per visit.

You will be provided with a medical assessment report that states the diagnosis, the examination results (clinical, laboratory, and instrumental), the treatment process, and further recommendations. The doctor will examine you, select the necessary treatment, or adjust the one prescribed to you at the time of arrival at the clinic.

The main results can be observed within 6 months after treatment. You will see the improvement of the regenerative processes in the body.

Throughout the program, you will have a personal manager who will ensure the best communication between you and the clinic. After treatment, our patients are advised to maintain contact with us. We'll ask you to fill out a questionnaire in 3 and 6 months after the treatment to evaluate the progress and answer all questions.

Moderate physical activity will be required. This will improve the sensitivity of the receptor apparatus (including the nose) to chemical agents present in the blood and surrounding tissues, as well as to environmental stimuli.

Since the administration is an invasive procedure, infectious complications, nosebleeds, etc., are possible. To avoid such consequences, the doctor conducts a thorough preliminary examination, studies the data from laboratory and instrumental tests, and, if necessary, adjusts for possible risks.

We expect sleep improvement during 3-6 months. The restoration of impaired body functions, including sleep as one of the components, happens gradually.

The three-component graft with methylcellulose will turn into connective tissue and inherit all its characteristic functionality. The tissue will be nourished by blood. This piece of tissue will naturally complement the architecture of the nasal conchae.

Sleep will improve significantly in 3-6 months. The restoration of impaired body functions, including sleep as one of the components, happens gradually.

The symptoms described are probably related to damage to the tissues of the nose. By restoring the functionality of the tissues of the nose, we eliminate these symptoms. However, it is important to diagnose the root causes of this destruction. We need to see the patient's medical materials to say more.

Nerve regeneration is possible at least partially. We offer an additional injection of neural crest-derived stem cells to patients who need nerve regeneration. This cell type has the ability to stimulate the regeneration of the peripheral nervous system. This injection will help to restore the partially lost receptor apparatus of the nasal cavity.

Septum defects are very different. Please send your medical materials for review. It is very difficult to make a septum thicker (from a technical point of view). We can only improve the function of the mucous membrane of the septum without its thickening.

A three-component graft with methylcellulose is an organic filler that is partially exposed to lysis. Thus, part of the injected volume remains forever, turning into connective tissue. The volume retained depends on the lysis activity.

Yes, it is possible, but only in a treatment protocol agreed upon between doctors. In Ukraine, there are temporary legislative issues regarding transplantation of donor rib cartilage.

Theoretically, yes, but the possibility of injection is determined by the task of correction, the current state, and the presence of living tissue with the presence of nourishing. The damaged structure of the nose does not always allow injections to be made everywhere. This is determined by the doctor. As a rule, it is made in the “head” of the turbinate, as it’s easier to reach a positive effect and less risk of complications.

Yes, we do the cotton test if needed. Compulsory tests are always rhinomanometry, endoscopy. Other tests if needed.

Dead tissue is not regenerated. The scar tissue can partially change the structure, it depends on the nature of the scar.

We carry out obligatory diagnostics before the program, before starting treatment, a month after, and 3 months after treatment. Diagnostics includes analyzes, questionnaires at each stage of treatment, rhinomanometry, endoscopy, CT, and MRI as prescribed.
