What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and/or improves the function of the nose. It is one of the most requested facial surgeries due to its ability to enhance both appearance and breathing.Dr. César López performs two main types of rhinoplasty:
Cosmetic rhinoplasty aims to bring the nose into better harmony with the face by refining features such as a dorsal hump, a wide or drooping tip, or flared nostrils—while always preserving the patient’s unique facial identity.
Functional rhinoplasty addresses internal issues that impair breathing, such as a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates. Aesthetic and functional goals are often combined in a single surgery.
The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours, is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and typically does not require an overnight stay. Recovery is gradual, with final results becoming visible over several months.
- Requirements: CT scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses, and laboratory tests.
- Postoperative care: It is essential to avoid sun exposure while wearing the bandage, as well as bending over, lifting heavy objects, or engaging in intense physical activity such as weightlifting or cardiovascular exercise for at least 4 weeks.

How is rhinoplasty different when done for functional reasons?
Functional rhinoplasty addresses internal problems such as a deviation of the septum or the collapse of a valve. While the outside of the nose can be modified, the primary goal is to improve breathing, often combined with subtle cosmetic improvements.rinoplastia funcional se enfoca en corregir problemas internos como la desviación del tabique, el colapso de la válvula nasal o la obstrucción respiratoria. Aunque la apariencia externa puede mejorar, el objetivo principal es optimizar la respiración. En muchos casos, combino la corrección funcional con ajustes estéticos sutiles para lograr un resultado armónico
When can I breathe normally again?
Most patients begin to breathe more comfortably through the nose after the first 7 to 10 days, once the splints are removed and the swelling goes away. The final improvement in airflow is achieved during the first 1 to 3 months.respirar con mayor comodidad entre los 7 y 10 días, una vez que se retiran las férulas y disminuye la inflamación inicial. La mejoría completa del flujo de aire se consolida progresivamente durante los primeros 1 a 3 meses.
¿Los resultados de una rinoplastia son permanentes?
Yes. Rhinoplasty creates structural changes that last a lifetime. While the nose ages naturally, the improvements are stable and long-lasting when done correctly.cambios estructurales en hueso y cartílago, por lo que los resultados son duraderos y estables. Aunque la nariz envejece de forma natural, las mejoras logradas se mantienen a largo plazo cuando la cirugía está bien planificada y ejecutada.
Will my nose look natural?
Yes, Dr. López's approach is based on moderation and proportion. He avoids radical changes and instead sculpts a nose that aligns with facial structure, expression and ethnicity.proporción, la moderación y la armonía facial. Evito los cambios exagerados y diseño una nariz que se integre de forma natural con tus rasgos, tu expresión facial y tu origen étnico.
¿La rinoplastia deja cicatrices visibles?
En la mayoría de los casos, las cicatrices no son visibles. Cuando utilizo una técnica cerrada, todas las incisiones se realizan dentro de la nariz. Si se requiere una rinoplastia abierta, la pequeña incisión en la base nasal cicatriza de forma discreta y se atenúa con el tiempo.
