Rhinoplasty in Tijuana
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nasal form, size, or structure to improve facial harmony and, in many cases, enhance breathing function.
At Bellezza Surgery Tijuana, we perform rhinoplasty with a personalized approach, prioritizing natural results, facial harmony, and proper functionality. It is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures for both men and women.
What does rhinoplasty involve?
During rhinoplasty, the plastic surgeon reshapes the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve the desired form. This procedure can be performed to:
-
Reduce or increase the size of the nose
-
Refine the shape of the nasal tip or bridge
-
Narrow the nostrils
-
Adjust the angle between the nose and the upper lip
-
Correct congenital defects, trauma-related deformities, or breathing issues
The surgery may be done using closed rhinoplasty (internal incisions with no visible scars) or open rhinoplasty (a small incision on the columella), depending on the complexity of the case.
Types of Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Aims to improve the shape, size, or proportions of the nose to achieve balanced facial harmony.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Corrects issues that impair nasal breathing, such as septal deviations or nasal valve collapse.
Secondary or Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Performed to improve or correct previous results or to restore nasal structure after injuries or prior surgeries.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed in an operating room within a certified clinic or hospital. It may be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the surgeon’s preference.
The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. After surgery:
-
A nasal splint is placed to maintain the new shape
-
In some cases, nasal packing is used to control bleeding and stabilize the septum
-
Most patients stay one night at the clinic and are discharged the following day
