What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a surgical procedure that alters the shape, size, or structure of the nose to achieve better facial harmony or improve breathing function. It can be performed for aesthetic purposes—such as refining the tip, correcting a dorsal hump, or narrowing the bridge—for functional purposes, such as correcting a deviated septum or improving airflow, or with a combined approach that addresses both form and function.

This procedure addresses:

A prominent dorsal hump or wide bridge
Drooping or bulbous tip
Overprojection or underprojection
Breathing issues due to internal structural deviation

Is a rhinoplasty right for you?

During the consultation, Dr. Salazar will assess not only your nose but also the overall proportions and symmetry of your face. His approach is visual and holistic—not just technical—always aiming for facial harmony while preserving your unique identity.

Who is a good candidate?

  • You’re seeking a subtle improvement that respects your features and maintains your identity.
  • You’re in good overall health with no medical conditions that could interfere with recovery.
  • You want a natural, harmonious result—not a drastic change.

Who is NOT a good candidate?

  • You have uncontrolled health issues that could complicate the procedure or healing process.
  • You’re not willing to go through a gradual recovery or wait patiently for the final results.
  • You’re not emotionally prepared for a visible change, even if it’s subtle.
“I was nervous about the possibility of having surgery abroad, but Dr. Salazar made me feel completely safe, informed and cared for. The results were better than I imagined”.

Do you still have questions before booking?

We know that choosing surgery, especially abroad, is an important decision. These answers can help you feel more confident before taking the first step and booking your consultation with Dr. Salazar.

Will I still look like myself after surgery?

Yes. Dr. Salazar’s goal is not to change your identity, but to restore harmony. Your features will feel more balanced, not unfamiliar.

Can this improve breathing?

Absolutely. If you have a deviated septum or other structural blockage, Dr. Salazar can address it during the same procedure.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

Most patients describe mild to moderate discomfort, manageable with prescribed medication. There is usually no sharp pain—just pressure.

Are there any visible scars?

It depends on the technique used. In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, so there are no visible external scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made on the columella (the tissue that separates the nostrils); however, this scar is usually very discreet and nearly imperceptible over time.

How long until I see results?

Initial improvements are visible after a few weeks. Swelling continues to resolve over several months, with final definition around 9–12 months.
