Rhinoplasty in Madrid
Correct the shape and size of your nose to enjoy a beautiful profile.
At Sculpture Clinic we specialize in all types of facial surgery techniques, including rhinoplasty in Madrid. We are always surrounded by the best team of professionals. We will conduct a detailed study of your nose to assess whether rhinoplasty adapts to your needs and expectations.
The nose is the center of our facial contour, and as such it has enormous weight in our appearance and attractiveness. A beautiful, symmetrical nose proportioned to the rest of the face is a fundamental beauty factor that will give us great confidence and self-assurance.
Fortunately, in recent years the surgical techniques used to reshape the nose have become highly effective and safe. Rhinoplasty is the facial surgery that allows you to modify the appearance of your nose, achieving harmonious and natural results.
What does rhinoplasty involve?
Rhinoplasty is a type of facial surgery that achieves facial harmony by modifying the size and shape of our nose. This surgical procedure has a dual purpose, since we not only improve the aesthetics of our nose, but we can also improve our respiratory function.
Rhinoplasty is also known as “rhinoseptoplasty” and is one of the most requested surgeries at our center. This is because it achieves quick and satisfactory results in the shape of our nose, with low risk to the patient’s health.
Before performing any type of intervention on our nose, it is important to conduct a prior study. A medical analysis is performed to detect any pathologies that might make us unsuitable for the operation. Measurements are also taken of the facial contour and the nose to determine what type of intervention to carry out.
Rhinoplasty Techniques
At Sculpture Clinic we analyze each case and choose the most appropriate technique according to the patient’s needs, the corrections to be made and the structures to be modified. Based on the analyses, we choose between the following techniques: ultrasonic rhinoplasty, conventional rhinoplasty and rhinoseptoplasty.
Ultrasonic
This is a technique that allows reshaping the nasal bone with great precision. This means less trauma to soft tissues and cartilage. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses a piezoelectric device that emits high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations.
It allows correction of bony humps, very wide dorsa or deviations of the bony septum. Recovery is rapid, and there is less swelling and bruising in the postoperative period.
Conventional
Conventional rhinoplasty is performed with classical surgical instruments. It is applied in cases where reduction or refinement of the nose is required, correction of the tip or narrowing of the dorsum.
It can be performed by two approaches:
- Open rhinoplasty: an incision is made in the columella for complete visualization of the nasal structure.
- Closed rhinoplasty: incisions are made inside the nostrils, which means there are no visible external scars.
Rhinoseptoplasty
This technique corrects both the shape of the nose and respiratory function. The aim is to straighten the septum, which allows the nasal passages to open so that air enters more easily. In addition to improving aesthetics, the patient will achieve optimal breathing.
Who is a candidate for rhinoplasty?
Good candidates are those who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their nose. For example, because it has a prominent hump, a drooping or wide tip, asymmetries, among others. Also those who present respiratory problems resulting from a deviated septum, hypertrophic turbinates or other internal alterations.
The patient should have reached facial maturity, enjoy good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Aesthetic purposes of rhinoplasty
At our clinic we adapt to all types of nose shapes, achieving the result you desire. Within rhinoplasty we can distinguish three fundamental aesthetic purposes, which are achieving a straight nasal dorsum, a fine and defined tip and narrowing both parts.
Achieving a straight nasal dorsum
To achieve a straighter nasal dorsum, the best approach is to remove the hump. This will visibly reduce the size of our nose. Another equally effective way is to increase the projection of the nasal tip and the root region.
Determining which method is most effective involves conducting a prior study of the patient’s face. However, the majority of rhinoplasty interventions performed at our clinic are dorsal reduction procedures.
Fine and defined tip
Without a doubt, a refined and well-defined nasal tip is a sign of attractiveness in our nose. It is a very common procedure that was previously performed using closed technique, without external scars.
Today, it has been shown that rhinoplasty is the most effective treatment to achieve a refined and defined tip. This is due to the greater ease this technique offers for working on the nasal tip cartilages.
Narrowing of the nasal bridge and tip
The third objective we usually have when performing a rhinoplasty is to narrow both parts of the nose, both the bridge and the nasal tip. For this procedure, it is essential to conduct a thorough preliminary study since the results should never be exaggerated or artificial
The most important thing is to visit the clinic with a clear idea of what your wishes and expectations are regarding the rhinoplasty procedure. At Sculpture Clinic, we are committed to organic and natural results, so we will always recommend the best option for your nose, seeking harmony in your face.
How is rhinoplasty performed in Madrid?
At Sculpture Clinic, we conduct a preliminary study of your nose, its function, and its proportion in relation to your facial structure. From there, we plan the rhinoplasty, selecting the most appropriate technique.
If the surgery is only performed on the nasal tip, this procedure can be carried out under local anesthesia. If we need to intervene on the rest of the nose as well, general anesthesia will be necessary, and the patient will be fully sedated.
Rhinoplasty requires making small incisions in the columella or nasal mucosa. Through these, the surgeon accesses the bones and cartilages to reshape the nasal structure.
The surgery lasts between two and three hours, depending on the intensity and type of rhinoplasty being performed.
Upon completion, the surgeon places a splint and bandages to maintain the new shape of the nose. Nasal packing is also placed to prevent bleeding. Typically, one day of hospital stay is required to ensure there are no complications.
The final results will be visible at twelve months after the procedure.
Recovery
The initial recovery period usually lasts one to two weeks. It is common to experience swelling, bruising around the eyes and nose. In the first few days, it is normal to feel some pain and discomfort; the surgeon will prescribe medications to reduce discomfort.
On the first day, you will need to wear drip pads to collect blood, and it will not be possible to breathe through your nose.
The inflammation and bruising will begin to disappear after two weeks of surgery. The use of cold compresses and elevating your head while sleeping can help reduce swelling. It is necessary to rest and sleep on your back with your head elevated.
The nasal packing and splint are usually removed between the fifth and tenth postoperative day. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities, contact sports, and wearing heavy glasses during the first few weeks.
Potential risks
Rhinoplasty is a safe surgery and risks are infrequent; however, they can occur. These may include:
- Infection.
- Bleeding.
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Asymmetry.
- Alterations in sensation.
- Breathing difficulty.
- Dissatisfaction with aesthetic results.
- Need for secondary surgery.

How is the preliminary facial assessment conducted before rhinoplasty at Sculpture Clinic?
The preliminary facial assessment before rhinoplasty includes evaluating the shape and size of your facial structure and nose. This evaluation will determine whether it is possible to make the modifications you desire and what can be done to achieve a natural result.
Your nasal breathing will also be checked, as this surgery corrects both functional and aesthetic problems.
The preliminary evaluation is essential for the success of the operation.
How is proportion and facial harmony maintained after rhinoplasty?
The foundation for achieving a proportionate and harmonious face with rhinoplasty is a thorough preliminary assessment. This evaluation will determine whether the procedure is viable. After rhinoplasty, the patient will remain at the clinic for one day during which we ensure there are no complications.
Subsequently, the surgeon will conduct post-operative follow-up to ensure the results align with the planned outcome. Additionally, the surgeon will provide the patient with care instructions for the recovery period.
Does the procedure hurt?
Whether we modify only the nasal tip or work with the entire nose, anesthesia is applied at the beginning of the procedure. The only difference is whether it is general or local anesthesia. In any case, the procedure is completely painless for the patient.
Will my face change after surgery?
Undoubtedly, the concern about changes to the overall appearance of our face is one of the most common worries that all patients have when they visit the clinic. The conclusion is that if a thorough preliminary assessment of your facial shape is performed, your face should not change at all.
The goal is to adapt to the previous shape of your face so that when the nose is modified, the appearance is as natural as possible, as if that were your nose from the beginning. What matters is that the patient is as comfortable as possible with their new appearance.
This is achieved when the face has a harmonious and proportionate appearance. At Sculpture Clinic we conduct a study of your facial contours to make the right decisions every time.
What are the results like?
The results of rhinoplasty in Madrid are currently tremendously organic and natural. We just need to be confident that we are working with the best professionals, who will provide us with the best diagnosis, always with honesty and transparency.
What is the post-operative period like?
After rhinoplasty, the patient will have nasal tampons placed, which must be worn for the first 2 days. During the first week, a nasal splint must be worn, until the bruising from the procedure disappears.
During this first week, relative rest is also necessary. After this time, you can resume your social and work activities normally. In any case, you should avoid intense physical exercise for at least the first month.
