The final aesthetic appearance of your nose after the procedure will follow a gradual evolution that may take at least six months, but it offers highly satisfactory results, especially when these modern and personalized techniques are used.
What does the procedure involve?
For rhinoplasty, we have two methods to carry out this procedure:
- Closed rhinoplasty: This is the most common type and is performed through incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. Through the inside of the nose, the surgeon can sculpt and reshape the nasal bones and cartilage, creating a new structure. In many cases, we use ultrasound to improve the surgical outcome of the nasal dorsum or to perform osteotomies.
In this way, the skin and membranes retract and adapt until the desired shape is achieved.
2. Open rhinoplasty: This is indicated for cases with a greater degree of tip deformity. By cutting the membranes of the tip and bridge, the surgeon gains direct access to the nasal structures.
This type of procedure leaves a small scar at the base of the columella. In some cases, we also use ultrasound to optimize the surgical outcome or to perform osteotomies.
*You may experience swelling and some discomfort, which will gradually decrease over the days and weeks following the procedure.
