What sets us apart
An integrated approach tailored to each person
Rhinoplasty is one of the most delicate and transformative surgical procedures in the field of facial aesthetics. At Grupo Pedro Jaén, we combine the most advanced surgical techniques with a multidisciplinary approach focused on natural, safe and personalised results. From functional correction to aesthetic enhancement, each procedure is custom-designed to enhance facial harmony without drastically transforming the facial expression.
Conventional and ultrasonic
A guide to understanding rhinoplasty
This surgical procedure corrects nasal imperfections mainly for aesthetic reasons, such as a deviated septum, aquiline noses, excessively pronounced dorsal humps or deformities resulting from previous fractures. However, rhinoplasty may also be performed to improve the patient’s breathing.
Achieving natural and excellent aesthetic outcomes
Rhinoplasty can address the bone, cartilage and/or skin of the nose in order to improve its shape, symmetry or proportion in relation to the overall facial structure. It is a procedure capable of achieving excellent aesthetic results, even with minimal changes. Nevertheless, it is a delicate intervention, as it involves very small and fragile structures and plays a central role in facial aesthetics, given that the nose is located at the very centre of the face. As a result, even the slightest imperfection or asymmetry can have an impact on overall facial harmony.
The ultimate goal is to avoid an “operated nose” appearance and to ensure that the face maintains balanced and natural harmony. Rhinoplasty can be performed through incisions inside the nose or via a small incision at the base of the nose, between the nostrils, which becomes virtually imperceptible after surgery.
What does rhinoplasty involve and how long does it take to see results?
Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthesia on an outpatient basis, meaning that hospital admission is not required. The post-operative period is typically painless, despite the noticeable bruising and swelling that may appear after surgery and which gradually resolve over the following days. After rhinoplasty, patients do not usually need to follow strict recovery measures, apart from avoiding intense physical exercise for approximately three weeks.
Although aesthetic and functional improvement is evident within the first two weeks, the final appearance of a rhinoplasty may take up to three years to fully stabilise, once the more complex nasal structures have completely settled.
“In general, the best outcomes are achieved by combining different therapeutic options and intervening at an early stage”
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty: a more precise and less invasive approach
This surgical technique represents a significant advance compared with conventional rhinoplasty. It is performed using ultrasonic instruments (piezoelectric technology), allowing nasal correction to be carried out with greater precision and safety. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a truly minimally invasive technique that reduces recovery time, limits the risk of intraoperative fractures, preserves the nasal mucosa and reduces both inflammation and the formation of extensive bruising.
