Rhinoplasty in Lima is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for people who want to improve the shape and function of their nose. Whether it’s to correct breathing issues, enhance appearance, or both, understanding what this procedure involves will help you make an informed decision.
What is rhinoplasty and why get it? 🧐
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the shape, size, or function of the nose. With our professional specialized plastic surgeons in Lima, many patients choose rhinoplasty to:
- Fix deviated septums or breathing problems
- Improve facial harmony
- Correct injuries or congenital deformities
- Boost self-esteem and confidence
The surgery can reshape the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, and the bone or cartilage structure.
Dr. Daniel Saco-Vertiz is our rhinoplasty specialist. In select cases, he uses 3D simulation technology to show you realistic previews of your potential results.
Types of rhinoplasty in Lima and techniques used ✂️
There are two main techniques used for rhinoplasty in Lima:
Closed rhinoplasty
- All incisions are made inside the nose, leaving no visible scars
- Best for mild to moderate changes
Open rhinoplasty
- A small incision is made on the columella (the skin between your nostrils)
- Ideal for complex cases or nasal reconstruction
Our specialists in Lima, Dr. Daniel Saco-Vertiz and Dr. María Eugenia Ruiz, will choose the best technique based on a personalized evaluation.
What is the surgical process like? ⚙️
The rhinoplasty procedure usually takes between 1 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. It is done under general anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort and safety.
During the operation, the surgeon reshapes the nasal bone and cartilage to enhance both appearance and function.
At the end of the procedure, a small external splint is applied to protect and stabilize the nose.
Rhinoplasty recovery in Lima: What to expect ⏳
Recovery is a gradual process and each patient heals at their own pace. However, here’s a general timeline:
✅ First few days: Expect swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort. Rest and keep your head elevated.
✅ Week one: The splint is removed and you’ll have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.
✅ 2–3 weeks: Most swelling and bruising subside. You can return to normal activities, avoiding impact or strenuous exercise.
✅ 3–6 months: Final results begin to appear as your nose settles and heals.
It’s essential to follow all post-operative instructions for a smooth and successful recovery.
