%X after an oncological surgery, a patient who has a facial tumor encounters a challenge as hard as his own illness. this problem is related to the reduction of his self-esteem, caused by his new body image. therefore, the following article describes a simple technique that may solve problems experienced by the patient that wears nasal prosthesis mechanically retained to glasses. during his rest, the patient is unable to normally wear his prosthesis because of the risk of breaking them up. for those patients, the night-wear prosthesis, in spite of not being an esthetical prosthesis, becomes extremely satisfying, thus providing a improvement in his quality of life.
