Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to reshape and refine the nose to achieve greater facial harmony.

This surgery can correct a variety of nasal deformities, including:

Reduction of a nasal hump or prominent dorsal bridge
Narrowing of the nasal base
Correction of a deviated septum
Refinement of the nasal tip

In addition to aesthetic improvements, rhinoplasty also helps many patients address trauma-related deformities and improve breathing difficulties.

The success of rhinoplasty depends on a thorough preoperative assessment of the patient’s unique anatomical features, including the structure of the nose, skin thickness, cartilage and bone size, and facial proportions.

A well-executed rhinoplasty results in a natural-looking nose that blends harmoniously with the rest of the face, improves nasal function, and enhances self-confidence.

What does facial lipofiling consist of?

Lipofilling / facial lipostructure or facial filler surgery with fat grafting allows us to recover the lost volume in different areas of our faces (cheeks, cheekbones, lips, chin) due to the passage of time, trauma scars or asymmetries. During surgery, fat is extracted by liposuction from a donor area (usually the abdomen), it is processed to purify the fat graft and it is injected in the desired location.
Who is a candidate for facial lipofilling?

Any patient with a facial contour defect, either due to atrophy of fatty tissues due to age, facial trauma or previous surgeries.
Are there any contraindications to perform this intervention?

Tobacco may be a relative contraindication, since tobacco decreases the survival of the fat graft in the recipient area.
Can facial lipofilling be performed in conjunction with another procedure?

Facial lipofilling can be combined with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or facelift. It could also be associated with body surgeries.
What can you expect in the postoperative period?

After a facial lipofilling surgery we can wait: - Edema / swelling of the infiltrated area (face) and the donor area (abdomen / flanks / thighs), which usually lasts 7 - 10 days, and which will be mitigated with physical measures (elevated head, local cold, girdle compression abdomen) along with analgesic (pain) and anti-inflammatory medication. - Hematoma / "purple" in the treated areas, which usually disappear after 2 weeks. - Pain / discomfort in the treated areas for the first 5 - 7 days, for which you will receive analgesics.
