Medical - Medical (general) / plastic surgery
Dutch term or phrase: storend
"Deze patient kwam op mijn spreekuur met een vraag voor een correctie van een storende neus".
How would you translate "storend" in this context? Keeping in mind that this is a discharge letter from a doctor, so it can't be translated too casually....

uncomfortable
Explanation:
Als je helemaal medisch (neutraal) wilt gaan: morphodysphoria (lichaamsbeeldstoornis of morfodisforie).
Maar als je 'storend' wilt vertalen zou ik discomfort/uncomfortable about his/her nose gebruiken. Anamnesis uses client terminology.

rhinoplasty (see context)


Explanation:
This patient visited my surgery to request rhinoplasty.

Deze oplossing vermijdt het woord 'storend' (dat eigenlijk weinig zegt over de oorzaak). Rhinoplasty is het medische woord voor 'a nose job' dus je hoeft het niet verder te omschrijven.

Dat eerste woord is: 'Nose', niet 'ose', natuurlijk.

Example sentence(s):
  • ose reshaping (rhinoplasty, or a 'nose job') is an operation to change the shape or size of the nose. It's not usually available on the NHS if done for cosmetic reasons, but may be provided on the NHS if it's needed to help you breathe.
