General Description

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery intervention that allows you to reshape the shape of the nose. It is one of the most requested aesthetic operations in Mexico. According to ISAPS, during 2019, 47,748 nose surgeries were performed.

What is rhinoplasty?

This surgery serves to reshape the nose, improving its aesthetic appearance both from the front and from the profile.. When the goal of surgical intervention is to improve respiratory function, it is instead called septoplasty. The term rhinoseptoplasty indicates, therefore, the operation that combines the aesthetic and functional purpose.

The intervention of the nose allows the profile and morphology of the nose to be more harmonious, therefore, also of the face in general, especially if it is combined with mentoplasty or otoplasty (in this case it will be called profiloplasty). The motivations that can push a person to undergo this surgery can be different and include:

  • Reduce the size of an overly large nose
  • Eliminate the hump or ridge
  • Change the tip of the nose
  • Change the back of the nose
  • Narrow the nostrils
  • Change the angles between the nose and lips
  • Change the angles between the forehead and the nose

The operation consists of remodeling or reducing the cartilage or the bony skeleton and the result may vary from patient to patient depending on the characteristics of the underlying bone and external skin.

To obtain a proportionate and harmonious result, It is important to consider that there is no ideal nose, we must look for natural results in accordance with the rest of the patient's face.

This is the case of a male rhinoplasty study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health recommends preserving masculine features and avoiding excessive feminization or sculpting, following the surgeon's recommendations and advice will always be the best alternative. 

Who is the ideal candidate?

Surgery is indicated for patients who wish to correct congenital or acquired deformities due to trauma, such as a septum deflected by a blow. Like any other surgical operation, it should be performed on patients who are in good physical health, so during the first visit, the surgeon may prescribe the patient to do certain investigations to check for any risk factors.

There are no specific age limits to perform it, but most plastic surgeons prefer to wait until the age of 16 to ensure that their development has come to an end and that they are emotionally and socially prepared for the operation. Also to verify that it is they who want to have the surgery and not their parents. As a general rule, it is preferable to wait until the age of 18.

The ideal candidate for rhinoplasty are both men and women who are dissatisfied with the shape of their nose, even becoming a cause of great embarrassment and discomfort. However, it is important for the patient to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome.

What will the first visit be like?

The first visit with the surgeon is the most important since it gives the patient the opportunity to express all their doubts, fears and expectations regarding the surgical procedure and the results that can be obtained.

Afterwards, the doctor will examine the internal structure of the nose, the shape and dimensions, also in relation to the rest of the face.

An instrument that can be used to get a first idea of how the final effect will turn out is that of the simulation through an image prepared by the specialist with the help of a computer. It is essential that the surgeon understands what he needs and wants the patient to achieve a good result.

Once the objectives and risk factors have been established, the doctor will explain to the candidate all the details related to the surgical procedure: techniques and methods of intervention, anesthesia, preliminary preparation for the operation, postoperative, possible complications and, finally, the costs.
