Rhinoplasty
Why consider rhinoplasty?
The nose is one of the most visible features of the face, and its shape can significantly influence facial harmony and self-esteem. Many people choose rhinoplasty not only for aesthetic reasons but also for functional problems such as difficulty breathing.
The goal of this surgery is to offer a change that feels consistent with each patient’s face, preserving their identity and improving their physical and emotional well-being.
How do we perform this procedure?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that requires a detailed evaluation of the face and nasal structure. Dr. Giovanni Cortés conducts a personalized study of each case, considering aesthetic, functional, and anatomical aspects.
It can be performed using a closed technique (without visible scars) or an open technique, depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and can last between one and three hours, depending on its complexity.
In addition, medical support is provided throughout all stages: initial assessment, surgery, postoperative follow-ups, and outcome monitoring.
What results can you expect?
After recovery, you may notice a significant improvement in both the appearance and function of your nose. Expected results include:
- Harmonization of the facial profile thanks to a more balanced nasal shape.
- Correction of visible structural deviations or imperfections.
- Improved facial symmetry from different angles.
- Recovery of respiratory function in cases of obstruction.
- Natural results that preserve the facial features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the surgery leave visible scars?
It depends on the technique used. In most cases, a closed rhinoplasty is used, which leaves no visible scars. In more complex cases, a small incision in the columella may be required (open rhinoplasty).
How long does recovery take?
It generally takes 10 to 15 days to return to normal activities. The inflammation can take several months to fully resolve.
Can only the aesthetic aspect be corrected without affecting respiratory function?
Yes. Every rhinoplasty is planned to maintain or improve nasal function, even if the primary goal is aesthetic.
Is it a painful surgery?
Most patients report mild discomfort during the first few days, but not severe pain. They are managed with mild analgesics and ongoing follow-up.
