Is a nose job right for me?

Whether for cosmetic reasons or to address medical concerns, rhinoplasty provides a personalized approach to help you achieve your desired results. If you’re dissatisfied with the size, shape, or proportion of your nose, rhinoplasty can help create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

FAQ

Why is Mexico a great option for getting a rhinoplasty?

Mexico—particularly clinics like Soulya in Tijuana—has become a leading destination for rhinoplasty thanks to a combination that few can offer: board-certified surgeons with international training, procedures performed in accredited hospitals, and a fully personalized care process from the very first contact. Unlike other impersonal options, at Soulya you have direct communication with the doctors, a detailed medical evaluation beforehand (even via video call), and post-operative follow-up in top-tier facilities. All of this with an investment up to 40% lower than in the U.S., without compromising results or safety.

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the shape, size, and functionality of the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons or to correct medical issues, such as a deviated septum that affects breathing.

At what age can I undergo rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can typically be performed once the nasal structures have fully developed, which is usually around 15-16 years old for females and 17-18 years old for males. However, age alone is not the only factor; your overall health and emotional maturity are also important considerations. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon will help determine the best time for the procedure based on your individual needs.

What are the benefits of rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty offers both aesthetic enhancement and functional improvement, tailored to each patient’s individual needs. Key benefits include:

Enhanced facial harmony, balancing proportions and profile.
Correction of structural imperfections, such as:
- Nasal hump
- Drooping, bulbous, or wide tip
- Deviated septum
- Asymmetrical or overly large nostrils
Customized results, based on the patient’s anatomy and expectations.
Improved breathing, particularly in cases of structural obstruction.
Relief from chronic respiratory issues.
Overcoming insecurities or self-image concerns related to nose shape.
Boost in confidence and self-esteem.
Long-lasting results, with continued improvement as healing progresses.

What should I consider before undergoing surgery?

Final results may take up to one year to fully develop.
Recovery time is at least 2 to 3 weeks before resuming normal activities.
Swelling and bruising are normal in the first few weeks but will gradually subside.

What is the surgery process like?

The procedure consists of several steps:

Initial consultation: The surgeon evaluates the nasal structure, patient expectations, and the best surgical approach.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is used.
Incisions: Depending on the technique, incisions may be made inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or at the base of the columella (open rhinoplasty).
Structural correction: The cartilage and bone are reshaped to improve nasal appearance and function.
Closure and recovery: The incisions are sutured, and splints or dressings are placed for stabilization.

How long does the surgery take?

Rhinoplasty typically takes around 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the corrections needed—whether aesthetic, functional, or both.

What is the recovery time after rhinoplasty?

Recovery time varies, but most patients experience swelling and bruising for the first few weeks. While many people return to work or normal activities after 1-2 weeks, full recovery can take several months as the final shape of the nose settles.

Is the procedure painful?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, so patients are not awake during the surgery. Afterward, some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common but manageable with prescribed medications.

What type of anesthesia is used?

The procedure is performed under sedation, which keeps the patient relaxed and pain-free without requiring general anesthesia. This method is safe and allows for a smoother, more comfortable recovery.

Can rhinoplasty correct breathing issues?

Yes, rhinoplasty can be performed to improve nasal function, including correcting a deviated septum or other structural issues that obstruct airflow and cause difficulty breathing. This aspect of the procedure is often referred to as septoplasty.

How should I prepare for rhinoplasty?

Proper preparation reduces risks and promotes a smooth recovery. Follow these key steps:

Consult your surgeon to finalize your surgical plan.
Complete any necessary medical evaluations as requested by your doctor.
Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks before surgery.
Do not take blood-thinning medications unless approved by your doctor.
Arrange transportation and post-operative care, as you will not be able to drive after surgery.

What are the post-operative care instructions?

The recovery period after rhinoplasty is essential for achieving natural, functional, and lasting results. By following these medical instructions closely, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable healing process. At Soulya, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Rest and Positioning

Relative rest is recommended during the first few days.
Sleep semi-reclined for the first 3 days, then on your back only.
Avoid lifting heavy objects for 6 weeks.
Do not bump your nose, bend your head downward, or sneeze forcefully (if needed, sneeze with your mouth open).

Exposure and Facial Care

Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks (it can increase swelling and cause pigmentation).
Do not wear glasses with frames—they can press on the nose and affect results.
Keep the nose dry during the first week while the splint is in place.
Clean your face with wipes and gently clean nostrils using gauze and Microdacyn spray, avoiding splashing water on the splint.

Medication and Follow-Up

Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, Naxen, Advil, or smoke/drink alcohol for the first 3 weeks.
Your first follow-up will be on day 7, where we’ll remove the nasal splint and stitches.
Wear a nasal dressing (mustache bandage) for 3–4 days or until blood-stained mucus stops (do not pinch the nose tip).
Apply nasal spray twice a day to prevent dryness (start only after nasal packing is removed).

Hygiene and Diet

Anti-inflammatory diet:

Avoid for 3 weeks: flours, sugars, greasy/spicy/processed foods, salty meals.
Eat: lean chicken, fish, red meat, vegetables all day, and fruits in the morning (pineapple, papaya, hibiscus, apple, prunes).

Normal:

Sore throat due to intubation.
Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing due to swelling (will improve gradually).
Facial bruising and swelling during the first week.
Blood-tinged mucus for the first few days.
Use arnica cream, tablets, or tea to reduce bruising and inflammation.

Not Normal:

Severe pain unrelieved by medication.
Heavy or prolonged nasal bleeding.
Foul-smelling, green or yellow discharge.
Fever, chills, or excessive swelling.
