Rhinoplasty

It is vitally important to work together with the patient to achieve the best result in this surgery. Not every nose is going to look good on any face, and therefore it is imperative to evaluate together with the patient what is the aspect of the nose that best suits their face, in addition to taking into account that their appearance must be the as natural as possible, avoiding looking like an “operated nose”.

Once it is clear what the patient expects and what he wants to look like, the surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes between one and two hours, taking the time necessary to achieve the desired changes.

In the postoperative period it is necessary to protect the nose with nasal splints (plaster) and tamponade, which is why it is necessary to have a minimum of five days in order to have an adequate convalescence.

Who is this surgery for?

Rhinoplasty can be performed on lower eyelids, upper eyelids, or both. The patient who perceives aging in his gaze, probably with excess skin, drooping eyelids, bags under the eyes, dark circles, may be a candidate for surgery. In the interview with Dr. Rivera the doubts in this regard will be clarified and it will be decided whether this is the way to go or whether to opt for non-surgical alternatives or to enhance surgery with auxiliary procedures such as botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid fillers.
As such, surgery requires the preliminary preparation of any procedure and is performed under local anesthesia under sedation for greater comfort and patient safety. The objectives outlined in the interview typically take between half an hour to an hour to perform in the operating room.

Risk of surgery
Fortunately, the risks associated with surgery are very low, as bleeding (hematoma), abnormal scarring or reaction to the material of the implants (capsular contracture or seroma), infection, among others, may occur, which, working together with the surgeon, are subject to correction. and improvement.
