Rhinoplasty

Anatomical and preservation rhinoplasty surgery is performed in a totally different way than conventional techniques, giving amazing results, all in perfect harmony with the type of face of the patient, without modifying the features, much less their identity. It is called anatomical because it follows the anatomical principles, that is, the appearance of the nose is due to the shape and size of the internal structure of our nose: cartilage and bone.

The ideal way to achieve the changes is by changing the shape and size of these anatomical structures, and placing them in an ideal way, molding these structures. Instead of placing cartilage on the structures that modify the natural anatomy and generate an appearance of surgery or change the physiognomy of the patient.

The approach carried out by means of the Anatomical Technique is Semi-Open, and it is carried out WITHOUT A SCAR ON THE SKIN, exposing the cartilage by means of partial extraction of the same, in this way working comfortably and effectively on the necessary changes in surgery. This technique is a combination of the open and closed technique, taking the benefits of each type of approach, and avoiding its disadvantages. As it is a technique that does not open the entire nose and allows the structures to be visualized, it is possible to modify the areas to be affected, to then be relocated in an exact and natural way, without injuring important structures to generate less trauma and allow the structures to be maintained intact, obtaining better results.

• Little inflammation and pain: This technique works in an area without blood or lymphatic vessels (inflammation vessels).
• It produces very little pain, only discomfort or very mild pain.
• Predictable, evident, harmonious and natural changes: Being a technique that only seeks to resize and reposition structures that are incorrectly oriented, it is to be expected with certainty important changes without modification of the facial physiognomy, and in a natural way.
• It can take several months for the swelling to completely disappear and up to 1 year, sometimes longer, for the outcome of the surgery to be fully defined.

All surgeries have risks, but in nose surgery they are very low. It is important that you are aware of these risks, in order to understand the pros and cons of your surgery, however, it is considered a fairly safe procedure. The risks related to unwanted aesthetic changes, with the anatomical and preservation technique the possibilities are almost null, since it is carried out following the principles of changes of anatomical structure that do not allow deforming changes, and with preservation injuries are avoided and therefore complications.
