Rhinoplasty in Mexico City

If you would like to change the shape of your nose, have trouble breathing through it, or both, you may be a candidate. I confirm it during your consultation, after examining your nose inside and out.

Cosmetic rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose: bridge, hump, tip and proportion. Functional rhinoplasty corrects breathing problems, usually caused by a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. Both can be done in a single surgery with one recovery.

Much less than most people imagine. The pain associated with rhinoplasty came mainly from gauze nasal packing, and I do not use it. Most rhinoplasties are done under general anesthesia, so you feel nothing during surgery; in some cases cosmetic changes can be made under local anesthesia, depending on your assessment. Afterwards, discomfort is usually mild and recovery is quick: you return to your activities between day 4 and 6.

Yes. I do not use nasal packing, so you can usually breathe through your nose from the start. Swelling may partially block it for 48 to 72 hours.

I perform both. We choose the technique at your consultation, based on the shape of your nose and what you want to change.

It depends on the technique. In closed rhinoplasty the incisions are inside the nostrils. In open rhinoplasty a small incision is also made on the columella, the bridge of skin between the nostrils. At your consultation I explain which technique your nose needs and what to expect from healing.

When the splint comes off on day 10, about 70% is visible; at 6 weeks, about 90%; the final result takes 3 to 4 months.

Sun exposure is not recommended during the first month, as it can affect healing and increase swelling. You can swim, but avoid diving during the first month.

The cost depends on the type of rhinoplasty (cosmetic, functional or both), whether the bones need ultrasonic reshaping, whether grafts are needed and the type of anesthesia. That is why I do not quote a price without examining your nose: during your consultation I plan your surgery with you and you receive a complete quote. A well-planned rhinoplasty from the start helps avoid a second surgery.

Yes. A deviated septum or enlarged turbinates are corrected in the same surgery that refines the shape of your nose (septorhinoplasty), with one anesthesia and one recovery. For complex septal fractures, I use the piezo device to correct them precisely.

I have experience welcoming patients from other cities and countries. Most can fly home 7 to 10 days after surgery. I always try to remove the splint before you travel; sometimes it comes off between day 5 and 9. During your consultation we will help you plan your travel dates.

Yes. I accept patients with major medical insurance that covers functional surgery, such as correcting a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. Coverage depends on your policy; during your consultation I help you with the diagnosis and reports your insurer requires.

It is rhinoplasty in which the nasal bones are reshaped with a piezo device, an ultrasonic instrument, instead of rasps and chisels. It cuts bone precisely while sparing the surrounding soft tissue. I have used it for years to reshape the hump or nasal bridge and in septoplasty with complex septal fractures.

Yes. Many nasal revisions are due to a first surgery performed by doctors without plastic surgery certification, without proper diagnosis or planning. I assess your case to plan the correction of a previous rhinoplasty, including complex cases and nasal reconstruction.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding surgeries. A board-certified plastic surgeon has completed the plastic surgery specialty and holds current certification from the Mexican Board of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Daza holds specialty license 6204435 and Board certification no. 1477, current (recertified in 2024). Before having surgery with any doctor, verify their specialty license in Mexico’s National Registry of Professionals.

It is cartilage taken from a rib to support and shape the nose when there is not enough septal cartilage, which is common in revision rhinoplasty, noses with weak support and reconstructions. I will tell you during your consultation whether your case needs it.

Yes. The most common combination is with chin surgery, in the Profileplasty package, to harmonize your full facial profile. It can also be combined with neck and facial liposuction.

In certified hospitals with the highest safety standards, because a harmonious result starts with safe surgery.
