Recovery after rhinoplasty

Congenital or traumatic aesthetic alterations in the shape of the nose are a situation that generates problems in self-esteem, since the nose is the central structure of the face, and apart from its essential function, a nose that does not go according to the face generates a bad harmony in the shape of it.

Rhinoplasty focuses on modifying the external and internal structure of the nose, in order to improve facial aesthetics in general, in some cases it is necessary to also improve its function, which is done through an open approach to visualize and manage in better shape the nasal structure.

Rhinoplasty is one of my Dr. Vargas signature procedures , handling the central structure of the face helps improve other parts of it at the same time. Rhinoplasty is usually combined with fat transfer to the face, chin augmentation with an implant or with hyaluronic acid or liposuction of the neck.

Women or men who have conflicts with the shape of their nose, deviations from it or alterations to breathe.

As an expert plastic surgeon, I am excited to offer my patients the benefits of ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This innovative technique uses ultrasound energy to reshape the nose with a device called Piezotome, offering a number of advantages over traditional rhinoplasty.

• Greater precision: Ultrasonic rhinoplasty allows for more precise and controlled cuts, reducing the risk of complications.

• Less trauma: Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a less invasive technique than traditional rhinoplasty, resulting in a faster and less painful recovery.

• Less bleeding: Ultrasonic vibrations coagulate blood vessels as the cut is made, reducing bleeding during surgery.

• Less inflammation: Ultrasonic rhinoplasty produces less postoperative inflammation than traditional rhinoplasty.

• More natural results: The greater precision of the ultrasonic scalpel allows the surgeon to create more natural and harmonious results.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a good option for patients who are looking to improve the appearance and function of their nose, whether for aesthetic or functional reasons.

During the first 24 hours after the nose surgery, it is advisable to rest to better manage discomfort and avoid bleeding.
