Rhinoplasty - Nose surgery information and locations in Mexico
The Rhinoplasty “nose job” is a surgery in which a certified plastic surgeon changes the shape
and size of the nose by working on the bone, cartilage, and skin. It’s usually performed for
cosmetic reasons, to improve breathing, or to correct birth defects.
The rhinoplasty is usually a same-day procedure and it’s done under general anesthesia. Before
surgery, the certified plastic surgeon will examine the entire face to develop the most
appropriate nose for the patient face, as well as showing 3D images of the desire results. After
the evaluation, the plastic surgeon will determine if the patient needs an open or closed
surgery. The surgery consists of making cuts around the nostrils and sometimes across the base
of the nose, reshaping the tissues for a more pleasing and functional appearance.
