View GalleryWhat Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as plastic nose surgery, is a procedure that ultimately improves the quality of life for our patients. This surgery is indicated if you have an aesthetic nonconformity of the nose and want to modify defects, such as the back of your nose, improve the nasal tip to provide a better definition, or decrease the size of the nostrils.
Cosmetic nose surgery also helps improve functional problems, such as breathing problems. You can reduce the size of the nostrils and modify the size of the nose, either the nasal bridge or the angle, which will cause greater harmony in the face. It is also used to address functional issues, often performed simultaneously to enhance aesthetic appearance and respiratory function.
Good Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty surgery should have good physical health and realistic expectations. If you’re considering the surgery in our Guadalajara practice, you should be prepared to stop smoking, drinking, and taking certain medications in the time leading up to the procedure. Otherwise, the surgery is a safe and effective way for those who are unhappy with their nose and want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
However, people with untreated health issues, poor healing history, or nasal infections may not be suitable for surgery.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. It means you won’t have to stay overnight and can return home soon after it is completed.
To begin, we’ll administer an anesthetic to help you feel comfortable during the surgical process. The procedure involves making incisions inside the nostrils of the nose. Some cases require incisions to be made at the base of the nose as well.
Dr. Nashielli will work to restructure the bone and reshape the cartilage to improve symmetry, contour, and airflow. Depending on your needs, whether you’re pursuing ethnic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, or a revision, your plan will be individualized. Structural grafts may be used for additional support, and attention is paid to maintain natural-looking proportions. The goal is to improve the contours of the nose and enhance its overall shape and proportion.
After the Rhinoplasty Procedure
You can expect the rhinoplasty surgery to last for about an hour to three hours, depending on the correction required to achieve the desired results.
After the surgery is completed, it is necessary to wear a splint for approximately one week. As you recover, you’ll begin to notice the gradual improvement in the shape and structure of the nose. You must take some time off to rest and recover as you heal.
During the first few days, keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. Avoid strenuous activity, bending, and sun exposure for several weeks. Mild bruising under the eyes is common and fades within 7–10 days. We’ll provide you with in-depth post-surgical instructions that you should adhere to to achieve optimal results.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions
Is rhinoplasty surgery right for me?
- The first thing to consider is the changes that the patient wants and their expectations. Based on that information, we will evaluate each particular case and let you know what the best options are. We will assess whether a CT scan is necessary to check for septum deviation problems that are causing breathing problems.
- The second point is to conduct a medical evaluation to determine the patient’s general health. Laboratory tests and a preoperative cardiological evaluation will be carried out (the cardiological evaluation will be done at the doctor’s discretion).
- The third step will be to take pre-surgical photographs. We will use the photos to evaluate and specify the points to be corrected, explain the procedure, and resolve any doubts that may be had in this regard, letting you know where we will place the incisions. During this consultation, we will discuss the aftercare needed after your surgery and the recovery time and risks.
Finally, during this consultation, your surgery will be scheduled and you will be given the appropriate directions to prepare.
How long does the recovery last?
Recovery is gradual and will largely depend on good post-operative care. Approximately one week after the surgery, the patient will be able to return to their daily tasks. However, in the first three days, the patient will present light facial edema and have a splint that will be removed after seven days.
It is not allowed to carry out a physical activity such as exercising, running, swimming, etc., during the first four weeks, as well as to avoid exposure to the sun for the first three weeks.
How long does the procedure last, and what type of anesthesia do you use?
The surgery lasts approximately two to three hours. The type of anesthesia we use is general anesthesia. After surgery, the patient will spend around four hours in the recovery room. Afterward, the patient is to spend the night in the hospital. During recovery, we will follow up on your progress.
Are the incisions visible?
The incisions of this procedure are made inside the nostrils, so they are not visible.
What are the risks or complications that exist in this surgery?
As in any surgery, risks will be evaluated and discussed during the consultation. Since some depend on certain factors, it is important to know the patient’s history. Some of them may be nosebleeds and allergic reactions, among others.
Can rhinoplasty fix a deviated septum?
Yes. Septoplasty, often performed during rhinoplasty, can correct a deviated septum and improve nasal airflow. This is typically considered a functional rhinoplasty.
What is ethnic rhinoplasty, and how is it different?
Ethnic rhinoplasty respects and preserves the unique characteristics of a patient’s heritage while making subtle changes to shape or function. It requires a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon in Mexico who understands diverse nasal anatomies.
