Structural rhinoplasty
We improve the aesthetics and function of your nose, aiming for a result that harmonizes with your features. Our goal:
For you to have subtle, elegant changes without losing your facial identity.
Balance and function
Harmony that respects your features
The nose is the center of the face, but it should not steal the spotlight. In my structural rhinoplasty approach, we reshape the form and size while reinforcing the bony and cartilaginous framework, using grafts from your own cartilage when necessary. We do not aim for “catalog” noses, but for natural, functional, and personalized results: a nose that breathes well, integrates harmoniously with your face, and allows attention to be drawn to your eyes and your smile.
What is the procedure like?
We carry out a photographic study and analyze your facial proportions. We listen to what concerns you (dorsal hump, drooping tip, nose or tip that is too wide and lacks definition) and project a realistic result according to your bone structure.
Under general anesthesia, we perform the procedure using an open approach. We use structural techniques to support the tip and dorsum, ensuring that the result remains stable over time.
We prioritize the preservation of tissues to minimize swelling and bruising. If there are functional issues (such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates), we correct them during the same surgical procedure.
We place a protective nasal splint that you will wear for a few days. In most cases, we do not use painful nasal packing, making the recovery much more comfortable.
Recommendations for your well-being
Have a deep facial cleansing one week before to keep your pores clean and prevent infections.
Inform us about the use of anticoagulants and aspirin, and stop taking supplements such as Omega 3, Vitamin E, garlic, and Ginkgo biloba 15 days before, to prevent excessive bruising.
Apply indirect ice to the cheeks during the first 48 hours to control swelling.
Do not get the nasal splint wet. We will remove it in the office (usually between day 7 and 10).
Do not wear glasses that rest on the nose during the first month, and avoid direct sun exposure to prevent bruises from darkening.
Perform gentle rinses with saline solution 3 to 4 times a day to keep the area hydrated and clean. It is vital that you do not blow your nose forcefully to avoid bleeding and protect internal healing.
