RHINOPLASTY

After the surgery, the recovery period begins, which lasts between 2 and 4 weeks. During this time, the patient should avoid contact activities that involve a high risk of trauma to the nose. And after 2 months you will be able to resume physical activities at 100 percent.

Candidates for rhinoplasty are people with cosmetic and health needs such as:

• Crooked nose due to a deviated septum
• Very wide nostrils
• Nasal tip down
• Imperfections in the nose due to trauma
• Nose too big or small compared to the rest of the face
• Prominent nasal hump
• Very wide nose
• Nasal asymmetries
• People who have suffered trauma or previous rhinoplasty
• Congenital problems

If you live in the United States, your health insurance probably won’t cover rhinoplasty and you’ll find that it’s a very expensive procedure. Therefore, traveling to Mexico is an affordable option with great benefits such as:

• Plastic surgeons with certification and experience in rhinoplasty
• Innovative procedures and cutting edge technology in plastic surgery
• Use of materials and implants approved by the FDA
• Savings of up to 60% compared to US rhinoplasty prices.

Rhinoplasty surgery costs an average of $8,000 USD in the US, and since it is not covered by health insurance plans, people often pay out of pocket or get financing plans with very high interest rates. On the other hand, when traveling to Mexico with specialists like Dr. Gordillo you will find excellent care, but with savings of up to 60%.

All surgery carries risks and possible associated complications: bleeding, infections, edema, bruising, sensory disturbances and post -surgery discomfort. The best way to avoid complications and reduce risks is to go to a specialist like Dr. Gordillo and follow his pre and post-surgical recommendations, since recovery and results depend a lot on the care that the patient follows.

Go to your assessment visit with Dr. Gordillo to check your face and nose conditions. In addition, as a patient you must have realistic expectations about rhinoplasty, be in good health and be a non- smoker, or be willing to quit smoking before and after your surgery.

When rhinoplasty incisions are made from inside the nose, there are no visible scars. If the incision is made around the nostrils or at the base of the nose, scars may remain, but very small and not visible.

Thanks to the pain medications and sedation that are applied, most patients do not feel pain during the surgery. The following days it is common to feel pain and inflammation that is fought with the medications prescribed by the specialist, with rest and some additional recommendations such as the use of splints.
