Rhinoplasty

There are several reasons why a person may be a candidate for rhinoplasty. One of the most common reasons is the presence of an abnormally raised structure on the surface, also known as a nasal hump or hump.

On the other hand, we find cases where the nostrils are narrow, which prevents proper breathing. It is also possible to have the opposite problem and have nostrils that exceed the natural diameter.

Treatment of the tip of the nose is also one of the most sought-after corrections in rhinoplasty. Many people come because the shape of this area causes them insecurity and trauma, making it necessary to remove or reshape the cartilage that makes it up.

Finally, we find those people who suffer from an incorrect position of the nasal septum. This can generate a series of side effects for daily life, from snoring to sleep apnea.

If you’re looking for a definitive solution to the shape, structure, and appearance of your nose, the best thing you can do is put your trust in rhinoplasty. However, this doesn’t mean that other methods don’t exist to achieve similar results and improve the appearance of your face

In addition to nose surgery, we can find different injectable fillers that don’t require surgery and can deliver highly satisfactory results. However, it’s important to mention that these don’t last as long as rhinoplasty, nor can they address internal functional problems.

All alternatives to rhinoplasty usually last between 6 and 18 months, although they also have lower costs than this surgical procedure.

To establish a rhinoplasty budget, a number of factors must be taken into account. At Clínica Doctora Yagües, an initial consultation with our surgeons will suffice to determine the total cost of the procedure.

The cost of nose surgery will include the surgeon’s fees, hospitalization costs, anesthesia, and follow-up appointments. Of course, these calculations will be directly related to your needs for the surgery and the complexity of the rhinoplasty.

The price of rhinoplasty will vary at each cosmetic surgery clinic. One of the most important factors for these fluctuations is the quality, training, and experience of the medical staff in charge of the operation.
In our case, we have a leading figure in plastic surgery: Dr. Yagües.

Rhinoplasty can be performed using different techniques, which are tailored to the needs and expectations of each patient. In any case, this procedure will be carried out under general anesthesia and will require one night of hospitalization

Currently, we can find open or closed rhinoplasty, which can help achieve a significant aesthetic improvement in the structure of the nose. There is also rhinoseptoplasty, or functional rhinoplasty, which aims to address any problems related to the patient’s breathing.

Finally, we have secondary rhinoplasties. In these cases, the goal is to correct or refine the results obtained in a previous nose surgery, making it quite popular among people who have suffered trauma or severe damage from other surgeries.

As we have already mentioned, rhinoplasty in Malaga will require the patient to spend one night in our clinic. Once the nose surgery is complete, packing will be placed in the nostrils, as well as a splint to keep the bridge of the nose stable and immobilized. All of this will depend on the type of surgery performed

Although our patients do not usually experience pain, many do experience a feeling of tightness between the eyes that extends to the face in general during the post-operative period following rhinoplasty. These symptoms last for approximately four days, after which some daily activities can be resumed with relative normality.

It is important to note that the splint must remain on the nose for about 10 days, so many prefer to avoid returning to work until after this time. Regarding sports activities, our professionals recommend waiting a few weeks until breathing is completely normal.

In any case, you should avoid sudden movements, as well as wearing glasses and exerting force. You should also avoid sun exposure as much as possible and follow all the instructions of your medical staff to the letter.

In most cases, partial results will be noticeable from the third week onwards, when the swelling in the area has completely disappeared. However, it will not be until the third month that we can enjoy the final results of the rhinoplasty and show off all the charm and functionality of our new nose

It’s important to keep in mind that even after this time, your nose may still be subject to changes and modifications. Rhinoplasty experts point out that this adaptation process of the nose can last up to a year post-surgery.

The decision to have an open or closed rhinoplasty should be made in conjunction with the plastic surgeon in charge of your operation. It’s important to note that the differences between the two are largely due to the complexity they require, which is closely related to each patient’s needs.

In the case of closed rhinoplasty, we are dealing with a surgery classified as simple and which does not require exposure of the bones and cartilage in the area. This means that the procedure is carried out through small internal incisions, which are sufficient to reduce the bridge or modify the tip of the nose

Open rhinoplasty, meanwhile, is indicated for cases requiring greater complexity. In this type of procedure, the skin covering the internal structure of the area is lifted, allowing for modifications to the shape of the nose and correcting any problems affecting breathing functions.
