Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty or cosmetic nose surgery involves reshaping the nose in harmony with the rest of the facial anatomy, always aiming for a natural look.
Our surgeons have extensive experience and numerous successful cases.
Rhinoplasty is the surgery through which we can change the shape of the nose by making a small incision in the nostril to give it a more aesthetic appearance, noticeably improving your look.
This procedure is performed with general anesthesia and allows the bones and cartilage of the nose to be reshaped to achieve the desired result.
Our goal is to perform a functional and aesthetic surgery, always aiming for a natural appearance that suits each patient's features.
The most common concerns are: reducing the width, lifting the tip, and removing the nasal hump. In addition to improving the aesthetics of the nose, this procedure can also address functional problems such as a deviated nasal septum or hypertrophy of the turbinates, among others.
If you want to have a rhinoplasty in Monterrey, at Nubody you will find the best plastic surgeons with extensive experience in this procedure.

Reviews
Where is the surgery performed, and how long is the hospital stay?
Rhinoplasty is performed in a hospital operating room. It is not advisable to perform the procedure in a doctor's office. This is an outpatient procedure. The estimated time at the hospital is one hour before the surgery and three hours after the procedure. When discharged, the patient will receive post-surgical instructions.
You must complete the surgical consent form before your surgery.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
After the first 48 hours following surgery, you can do light activities around the house. About 5 business days after surgery, you can return to work or school activities outside the home. We recommend waiting between 3 weeks and one month after surgery before returning to physical activity and sports. For sun exposure, we recommend waiting until any bruising has completely disappeared (approximately one month).
Is it possible to have pain after rhinoplasty?
It depends a lot on the patient, but it is generally not painful. Patients usually report a feeling of nasal congestion. If you have pain, you can take certain pain relievers, after checking with your doctor first.
What is the minimum age for nose surgery?
For cosmetic surgery, the ideal is to wait until the patient has enough physical and psychological maturity, which is around age 16 (this rule is not absolute), since each patient's development can vary. Rhinoplasty may be needed for minors for medical reasons or related health problems; in both cases, the consent of both parents is required.
If I don't live in Monterrey, how many days do I need to stay?
It is always best to schedule a rhinoplasty in advance and to have an in-person consultation with the specialist beforehand. The postoperative period requires approximately 7 to 10 days in the city.
When can I start wearing glasses?
You can wear glasses after the first 14 days following the operation. If you use contact lenses, you can wear them after the first 3 hours after surgery.
When will I start to see results?
When the splint is removed, you can see a change. Keep in mind that there is a swelling process in which the nose becomes swollen, and this makes the result look distorted. Two months after surgery, you can see 70% of the result. The swelling continues to go down for up to a year after surgery, producing minimal changes that are not noticeable to the patient.
What preoperative tests are required?
Your plastic surgeon will specify them, but in general:
+ Functional ENT (ear, nose and throat) evaluation to rule out hidden nasal or sinus conditions (internal deviated septum, polyps, chronic sinusitis, etc.).
+ Laboratory tests (blood work ordered by the doctor).
+ Electrocardiogram with pre-surgical cardiology evaluation (ordered after the doctor's evaluation).
+ Chest X-ray (not always necessary).
What is rhinoplasty and why is it performed?
It is a cosmetic or functional surgery that modifies the shape or structure of the nose, either to improve its appearance or to correct breathing problems.
How long is the recovery from rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery takes 7-10 days, but the final result may take 6-12 months to become apparent, depending on the type of procedure.
Is the recovery painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort that can be managed with pain relievers, rather than severe pain.
When can I resume my usual activities?
Light activities after 1-2 weeks; strenuous exercise after 4-6 weeks, according to your doctor's instructions.
