Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the shape of the nose, either for aesthetic or functional reasons. We understand that taking this step can raise questions, which is why we offer a surgical procedure that is accessible, safe, quick, and effective. Our experience and results speak for themselves.
What is rhinoplasty?
It can have two purposes: cosmetic or functional. There are two techniques used for this procedure:
- Open rhinoplasty: This technique aims to correct the external shape of the nose, using an external approach that allows direct exposure of the area of the nose to be corrected. This technique is ideal for functional surgery.
- Closed rhinoplasty: This technique aims to correct the external shape of the nose using procedures that are mostly carried out inside the nostrils. This technique is recommended for cosmetic surgery.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty
This procedure offers multiple aesthetic benefits, improving the appearance of patients. Some of its benefits include:
It helps the nose look harmonious with the rest of the face. By achieving balance in shape and size, many people notice a real improvement in their self-esteem and feel more confident about their appearance.
It resolves breathing difficulties caused by deviations of the nasal septum or internal malformations.
The results are usually permanent. In other words, it will not be necessary to repeat the procedure.
Improved psychological well-being and security, which is reflected in their daily lives, both socially and professionally.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to fully recover from a rhinoplasty?
Depending on the case, full recovery can vary between 6 and 12 months.
Is it possible to combine rhinoplasty with other facial surgeries?
Yes, it is possible to combine rhinoplasty with other facial surgeries. This technique is known as combined surgery.
At what age can one undergo rhinoplasty?
It is recommended to wait until the nose has finished developing, which usually occurs between the ages of 16 and 18, depending on gender and individual development.
What is the recovery process like and how long does it take?
Recovery after rhinoplasty requires certain basic care to ensure proper healing. During the first few days, it is essential not to touch your nose, avoid bending your head downwards and, of course, do not sleep on your stomach.
Tampoco es recomendable hacer ejercicio intenso ni exponerse al calor al menos durante la primera semana.
Para prevenir moretones o inflamación, lo mejor es evitar el alcohol y no tomar antiinflamatorios sin indicación médica en los días siguientes a la operación.
What is the price of rhinoplasty?
The price varies depending on the complexity of the case, the surgical technique used, and whether it is combined with a functional correction of the nasal septum. To obtain a personalised quote and answer all your questions, schedule a consultation with Dr. Francisco Giraldo. We will provide you with professional advice, assessing your features and aesthetic goals to offer you the treatment that best suits your needs.
Are there visible scars after rhinoplasty?
In closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nose, leaving no visible scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made in the columella, which becomes virtually imperceptible over time.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are permanent, provided that the surgery has been performed correctly and the patient follows the post-operative instructions. It is a procedure with a lasting impact on both facial aesthetics and, in some cases, respiratory function.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Anaesthesia (general or sedation with local anaesthesia) is used during the procedure, so it is painless. After the operation, you may experience mild discomfort or a feeling of nasal congestion, which can be easily controlled with medication.
