Rhinoplasty in Mexico

An excellent plastic surgeon, like Dr. Galván knows how to make the necessary and specific modifications in each case, to achieve that both the nose, and the relationship with his face go harmoniously and thus achieve the best aesthetic results.

Nowadays, ultrasonic rhinoplasty is the most advanced technique in nose surgery. It is based on the use of the piezotome, a tool that allows greater control and precision with the nasal bones, providing greater security during surgery and therefore a faster recovery with little bruising.
We use ultrasonic rhinoplasty when our goal is to file the ridge of the nose, to reposition deviations from the nasal septum or if a narrowing of the nose is required.

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

At Galván Plastic Surgery Institute we are pioneers in the use of ultrasonic rhinoplasty. It should be noted that this surgery is more complex than conventional rhinoplasty because it requires greater skill of the plastic surgeon. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is difficult, but as it is a minimally invasive procedure, results are obtained with less inflammation and postoperative hematomas, due to this, recovery is quicker and less painful.

For those women or men who have a relatively unsightly profile and who worry about the relation of their nose to their face, are the ideal candidates for a rhinoplasty. It can also be for some the loss of elasticity of the skin, in older people, for example, those whose nose tip can suffer a fall, this situation is directly associated with facial aging.
This type of surgery can be done from 16 years of age. The result is permanent and imperceptible scars. Something to remember is that the intervention has the objective of improving its appearance, not perfection.

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery in Mexico is always performed in an operating room, in a clinic or hospital. This is a procedure that should never be done in a office.
The type of anesthesia usually used to perform it is general anesthesia, during which you will be asleep until the end of surgery. This is essential to have the airway fully controlled during surgery.
A complete rhinoplasty usually lasts between 1 and 3 hours, this depending on the amount of correction needed. You have to "sculpt" the framework or scaffolding of bone and cartilage that we have under the skin of the nose. This is done through incisions inside the nose, so it leaves no visible scars, as a closed technique. However, when it is required to modify the nasal tip it may be necessary to make an incision in the skin that separates the nostrils (columella) to improve precisely the nasal tip, which is known as open technique. Only in this case of open technique and / or when it is necessary to shake the wings of your nose, can be scars that, although they are visible, are usually imperceptible to be perfectly located.

By means of the indicated incisions it is possible to remodel the bones as the cartilages that serve as scaffolding for the nose. Carrying out these approaches, the nasal bones are reached by decreasing the hump or nasal dorsum, as well as the narrowing of the nasal bones. Later, the nasal cartilages are manipulated in order to reduce its volume, modify its shape, improve its image ..., or whatever is necessary.

The reduction of the back of the nose is a key point of rhinoplasty in Mexico. The nasal dorsum is both bone and cartilaginous, it is formed by both bones and cartilage. It is at the level of these cartilages of the nasal dorsum, triangular cartilages, where the internal nasal valve sits and that is why it is so important to conserve it when an easel is removed. When the nasal dorsum is reduced, not only will it be necessary to file or break the bone, but cartilage grafts will have to be performed at the level of this valve

The treatment of the nasal tip is different and is based on the replacement of the cartilages and the modification of their angles. To achieve this, excess cartilage is eliminated (excision of domes and alar bases), support is given where the cartilage is very weak (alar and columella strut grafts) and its angles are reshaped by sutures (transdominal, interdominal sutures). , lateral spannin).

At the end of the nose surgery a plaster or plastic splint is placed on the back of the nose for 6-7 days and a few plugs inside the nostrils (1-2 days) so that the skin fits the new frame.

LThe splint that will be placed on your nose at the end of the rhinoplasty should be worn for approximately 6-7 days.
In the postoperative period, Dr. Galván will prescribe analgesics that will control the discomfort that may arise, very little pain.
In the course of the next 24 hours, it is recommended to be at rest to avoid discomfort and to avoid bleeding. You will notice the appearance of bruises and swelling around the eyes. This is normal and will probably increase in the subsequent days, but you should not be alarmed.
The nose plugs will usually be removed in the first 24 hours, or prior to discharge the day after your rhinoplasty, these are essential in case of having undergone a septoplasty or nasal septum operation.
In general, the patient can perform sedentary jobs after 48 hours of surgery. You can not wear glasses of any kind, perform heavy exercises or blow your nose for about a month.
Avoid the sun or UVA rays for a minimum period of three months after your rhinoplasty in Mexico. Between ten and fourteen days the bruises (bruises) and much of the inflammation will have disappeared almost completely and its appearance will be practically normal. It is important to keep in mind that it is normal that there is a small residual and almost imperceptible inflammation, and that it takes several months to disappear. When this happens the tip of the nose will be completely soft and the profiles perfectly defined.

Risks of a rhinoplasty and its guarantees

A Rhinoplasty in Mexico is a safe surgery with a high satisfaction rate if it is performed by a qualified certified plastic surgeon.
However, there is always the possibility of complications, which, although rare and slight, may appear.
There may be infection or bleeding greater than usual, there may be an abnormal reaction to anesthesia (1 in 6,000 to 12,000 cases).
Small veins may appear on the skin of the nose that are transient and eventually disappear. Many of these risks can be avoided by carefully following the advice given by Dr. Galván before and after the operation.
The incisions (or cuts) will be inside the nose, so the scars that may remain of your operation will not be visible at any time.

Results of rhinoplasty

The results will not be visible immediately after your surgery. The decrease of the inflammation will be progressive therefore the final result is reached in a span of 6 months - 1 year. This being the case, although the result is noticeable when removing the nasal splint, its appearance will improve as the months pass, which will make you feel more and more happy and satisfied.
