Nasensteg

English translation: (nasal) columella

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Nasensteg
English translation:(nasal) columella

Medical - Medical (general) / Plastic Surgery
German term or phrase: Nasensteg
Nasenkorrektur - Plastic surgery on the nose
Context:
"Damit der Eingriff keine sichtbaren Spuren hinterlässt, werden die Hautschnitte im Naseninneren oder am Nasensteg angelegt."
I do not think it should be "septum" since that is "Nasenscheidwand", nor "bridge" since that is "Nasenrücken)". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

neutral  Armorel Young: You're not suggesting that in your first example "bridge of the nose" is a translation of Nasensteg, are you? - the Nasensteg is part of the equipment being used, the Nasenrücken part of the human using it.
