Rhinoplasty is one of the most performed surgeries by our surgeons, because the nose is one of the main structures of the face, making it one of the most important features, and therefore its aesthetic importance.
Its objective is to correct aspects of the nose that affect its functionality, that may make it disproportionate or that are not in harmony with the rest of the face.
With rhinoplasty we can decrease or increase the size of the nose, vary the shape of the tip and dorsum, narrow the nostrils or change the angle between the upper lip and the nose.
In addition, we can also solve certain congenital problems, trauma and respiratory problems.
Among others, it is indicated for:
The purpose is to help improve the appearance of the nose and its respiratory function (if necessary).
Current treatment for the nose adopts a “less is more” approach; the goal is to manipulate the nose so that it maintains the ideal anatomy without being too assertive, and so that the result is natural and in proportion to the face.
+ Aquiline nose
+ Flat nose
+ Big nose
+ Negroid nose
+ Small nose
+ Crooked nose
+ Nose with ridge
+ Wide nose
+ Globular nose or bulbous nasal tip
The results depend largely on the anatomy of the nose, particularly the skin, and the skill and judgment of the surgeon.
At Face Clinic the goal is to have a beautiful nose, balanced with the facial features and natural looking, always keeping in mind that the nose is designed to breathe, so any change made by the surgeon must always put the safety of the respiratory system first.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that usually lasts between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of each case. It is performed in an operating room under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and usually requires hospitalization.
The procedure begins by separating the skin of the nose from the underlying bony and cartilaginous structures. These structures are reshaped to the desired shape, and the skin is then repositioned and sutured. Incisions are usually made inside the nostrils, although in some cases an open surgical approach with an incision in the columella may be necessary.
At the end of the surgery, a splint is placed over the nose to maintain its new shape and nasal packing may be used to prevent bleeding and stabilize the nasal septum. These plugs are usually removed after one or two days.
The patient is usually discharged the day after surgery. During the first two or three days, swelling and bruising around the eyes peaks, but usually disappears in about two weeks. It is normal to experience a slight nose bleed in the first few days. The splint is removed after one to two weeks.

There are several types depending on the surgical technique used. Some of the most common are:
In this case, each type is aimed at improving specific aspects of nasal function, and the choice of procedure will depend on the nature and severity of the respiratory alterations present in each patient.
Types depending on the history of previous surgery may include:
Types of rhinoplasty may vary by ethnicity or population due to differences in nasal anatomy and facial characteristics unique to each ethnic group.
The price of rhinoplasty in Face Clinic Spain varies according to different factors, such as the complexity of the procedure, the aesthetic goals and whether complementary treatments are required. In general, prices can range from €2,000 to €10,000.

Mentions in the press
The best rhinoplasty surgeon in Spain must have specialized training in facial cosmetic surgery, extensive experience and a proven track record of successful results. In addition, it is essential that he/she belongs to professional associations such as SECPRE (Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery).
At Face Clinic, we work with the best rhinoplasty surgeons, specialists recognized for their skill, natural results and personalized approach to each patient.
The most difficult part of rhinoplasty is achieving a perfect balance between aesthetics and nasal function. Surgeons must consider both facial harmony and the patient’s breathing.
In addition, the complexity lies in correcting deformities of the nose without compromising its internal structure. The techniques used, such as ultrasonic rhinoplasty, allow these adjustments to be made with greater precision.
The process of deflation of the nose may take 2 to 3 weeks for significant initial swelling. However, the entire process of deflation and tissue tightening can take up to 12 months.
Postoperative swelling is normal and will gradually decrease with time.
Several factors can affect the outcome after surgery. These include trauma or blows to the nose, infections, failure to follow postoperative recommendations or smoking.
It is crucial to avoid these actions to ensure that the results are stable in the long term.
Full recovery varies, but in general, patients can resume normal activities in approximately 2 weeks, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exertion during the first month.
The final healing process can take up to a year, as the nose continues to adjust over time.
It will depend on the specific needs and objectives of each patient. There are different techniques, such as closed rhinoplasty, open rhinoplasty and ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
The choice will depend on factors such as the patient’s nasal structure, the complexity of the surgery and the desired results. The surgeon will recommend the best option after a thorough evaluation.
At 3 months after rhinoplasty, the shape of the nose begins to stabilize, although there may still be some swelling at the tip.
The final results are usually visible after 12 months, but after three months it is possible to see a considerable improvement in nasal appearance.
After rhinoplasty, the nose acquires a more harmonious shape with the rest of the face, improving facial proportion. The changes are subtle but significant, and contribute to greater facial symmetry and harmony.
The result can improve the patient’s self-esteem and confidence by correcting imperfections or asymmetries.
After rhinoplasty, it is important to avoid activities that can damage the nose, such as strenuous physical exertion, smoking, touching or squeezing the nose, and prolonged sun exposure.
In addition, it is advisable to avoid wearing heavy glasses for several weeks to prevent any pressure on the nose.
The best age for rhinoplasty is generally after facial development is complete, which is usually between the ages of 16 and 18 in females and between the ages of 18 and 21 in males.
However, if the surgery is performed for functional reasons, such as respiratory problems, it may be appropriate at any age, provided the patient is in good general health.
The worst day is usually the first day after surgery, when swelling and discomfort are most intense.
It is normal to feel some discomfort, but this improves significantly after the second or third day, with the help of medication for pain and inflammation.
Although rhinoplasty is generally safe, its disadvantages include the risk of surgical complications, the need for a recovery that can be uncomfortable and lengthy, and the possibility that the results may not be exactly as expected. In addition, some patients may need touch-up surgery to adjust minor details.
