Rhinoplasty: Nasal Harmony and Function

R

hinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and function. This procedure can correct congenital defects, traumatic injuries, or breathing problems, while enhancing the patient's facial harmony.

Our team of facial plastic surgeons uses advanced techniques to achieve natural results that complement each patient's unique features. The procedure can be open or closed, depending on the specific needs of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer the most common questions about rhinoplasty so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

Initial recovery takes approximately 1-2 weeks, during which the nasal cast is removed. Visible swelling decreases significantly in the first month, but the final result is fully appreciated between 6-12 months after surgery, when all internal swelling has resolved.

In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose, so there are no visible scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made in the columella (the part between the nostrils) which, over time, becomes virtually imperceptible.

Yes, functional rhinoplasty can correct problems such as deviated nasal septum, enlarged turbinates, or weak nasal valves. These procedures improve breathing function while optimizing the aesthetic appearance of the nose.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty: Eye Rejuvenation

B

lepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure can correct droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes.

Eyelid surgery not only improves appearance, but can also improve vision in cases where droopy upper eyelids interfere with peripheral visual field.

Rejuvenates and refreshes your gaze

Improves peripheral visual field

Minimal and discreet scarring

Frequently Asked Questions

Important information about the blepharoplasty procedure and recovery.

Blepharoplasty is generally recommended for adults over 35 years old, although it can be performed earlier if there are genetic conditions causing premature bags or droopy eyelids. The ideal age varies for each patient and their specific needs.

Blepharoplasty results are long-lasting and can be maintained for 10-15 years or more. However, the natural aging process continues, so some patients opt for a touch-up after several years.

Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, any discomfort can be easily managed with prescribed medications.

Facelift

Facelift: Comprehensive Rejuvenation

A

facelift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that rejuvenates the face by tightening facial tissues, removing excess skin and repositioning facial fat. This procedure combats the visible signs of aging to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

We use advanced deep lifting techniques (SMAS) that provide natural and long-lasting results, without the "stretched" appearance of old techniques. The procedure can be combined with other facial treatments for optimal results.

Reduces facial and neck sagging

Smooths deep lines and wrinkles

Redefines facial contour and jawline

Natural results that last 10+ years

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the facelift procedure.

Most patients undergo a facelift between ages 40 and 70. However, the ideal age depends more on the degree of facial aging than chronological age. Some patients may benefit earlier due to genetic or lifestyle factors.

Initial recovery takes approximately 2-3 weeks, after which most patients can return to normal activities. Swelling and bruising gradually decrease during the first 4-6 weeks. The final result is appreciated at 3-6 months.

With modern deep facelift techniques (SMAS), results are natural and harmonious. The goal is to rejuvenate your appearance while maintaining your unique expression and facial features, avoiding the "stretched" look of old techniques.

Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation: Facial Profile Definition

C

hin augmentation is a surgical procedure that modifies the size and shape of the chin to improve facial balance and harmony. This procedure can augment a receding chin or reduce a prominent one, creating a more aesthetic and proportionate facial profile.

Chin surgery can be performed with implants to augment the chin, or through bone reduction to decrease its size. It can also be combined with other facial procedures, especially rhinoplasty, to achieve optimal facial harmony.

Improves facial balance and proportion

Better defines the jawline

Significantly improves lateral profile

Relatively quick procedure with good results

Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your questions about chin surgery and its aesthetic benefits.

Chin augmentation is ideal when there is a receding (microgenia) or prominent (macrogenia) chin that affects facial harmony. It's also recommended when performing rhinoplasty, as both procedures work together to improve the facial profile comprehensively.

The most common chin implants are medical-grade solid silicone, which are biocompatible, durable, and feel natural. They come in different sizes and shapes to adapt to each patient's specific needs. There are also implants made from other materials like Gore-Tex.

No, the incision is made inside the mouth (intraoral approach) or under the chin in a natural fold. In both cases, scars are minimal and practically imperceptible once they heal completely.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty: Correction of Prominent Ears

O

toplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct prominent or deformed ears, improving their shape, position and proportion relative to the head. This procedure can be performed in children starting at 5-6 years old, when the ears have reached almost their adult size.

Ear surgery can correct various conditions such as protruding ears, asymmetric ears, with abnormal folds or congenital malformations. The procedure significantly improves self-esteem, especially in children who may suffer school bullying due to their prominent ears.

Corrects prominent or asymmetric ears

Significantly improves self-esteem

Permanent and natural results

Hidden scars behind the ear

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about ear surgery and the recovery process.

Otoplasty can be performed starting at 5-6 years of age, when the ears have reached approximately 85-90% of their adult size. Performing the surgery before the child starts school can prevent self-esteem issues and bullying related to prominent ears.

Initial recovery takes approximately 1-2 weeks. A protective elastic headband must be worn during the first weeks, especially when sleeping. Most patients can return to normal activities after one week, avoiding contact sports for 4-6 weeks.

Yes, otoplasty results are permanent. Once the ears have healed completely (approximately 6 months), the new position and shape are maintained for life. Scars remain hidden behind the ears and are virtually imperceptible.

Brow Lift

Brow Lift: Eye Rejuvenation

B

row lift, also known as frontal blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that lifts droopy brows and smooths expression lines on the forehead. This procedure rejuvenates the upper face, creating a more alert, rested and youthful appearance.

Modern techniques include endoscopic lifting, which uses minimal incisions hidden in the scalp, significantly reducing recovery time. The procedure can be combined with blepharoplasty for complete periorbital rejuvenation.

Lifts droopy brows and improves expression

Smooths horizontal forehead lines

Reduces frown lines and vertical lines

More rested and alert appearance

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about the brow lift procedure and its rejuvenating benefits.

Brow lift specifically focuses on the upper face: forehead, brows and periocular area. Facelift treats the middle and lower third of the face. Both procedures can be combined for complete facial rejuvenation, or performed independently according to patient needs.

The endoscopic technique is generally preferred because it uses smaller incisions (3-5 cm) hidden in the scalp, has shorter recovery time and less risk of sensory loss. The classic technique (coronal) is reserved for specific cases with greater tissue descent or when more extensive correction is required.

With the modern endoscopic technique, incisions are made behind the hairline and are minimal, so they don't affect its position or cause significant hair loss. In the traditional coronal technique, the hairline may be slightly elevated, although this can be beneficial in some cases.
