A Simple Change Can Refine Your Entire Profile

This patient had a dorsal hump that made her feel self-conscious about her appearance. Dr. Castillo smoothed the bridge of her nose to create a more sloped appearance and bring her facial features into harmony. Every rhinoplasty with our Tijuana plastic surgeon is tailored to a patient's preferences and facial features for a result that feels just right.

Dr. Castillo Explains Rhinoplasty

Dr. Castillo discusses rhinoplasty, which enhances the structure of the nose, versus septoplasty, which improves breathing. Combining the two can produce life-changing effects for the right patients. He also explains the difference between a closed and open rhinoplasty.

“Dr. Castillo gave me a better functioning and the most beautiful nose I could ever dream of having. When the cast was removed my life changed. My expectations were exceeded. I would not trade this experience for the world.”— Yadira, 5-Star Review

Benefits of a Rhinoplasty Procedure

Improve Confidence

Make a change that can affect how you look and how you feel. If you're unhappy with your nose, rhinoplasty can enhance your self-confidence.

Improve Breathing

A rhinoplasty can be a great procedure to help patients struggling with a deviated septum or an injured nose. Our ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. Carlo Pedroza, helps treat various breathing issues at our Tijuana, Mexico, practice.

Achieve Harmony

A rhinoplasty can achieve changes that provide a better complement to your overall face shape, as well as features like your eyes and smile.

Combining Rhinoplasty With Septoplasty

Dr. Castillo partners with Dr. Pedroza, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, to ensure rhinoplasty can be safely combined with septoplasty. He has found that performing the two procedures at the same time produces better outcomes. The two have worked together for about 20 years.

“Dr. Castillo is amazing and I love the look of my new nose!! There were no complications with the surgery and I was given great after care instructions that ensured an even better recovery. I will definitely be coming back here!”— Sofia, 5-Star Review

Open vs. Closed Nose Job

Open Rhinoplasty

An open rhinoplasty involves small incisions on the exterior of the nose for better access to inner tissues. Since the incisions are small and placed in discreet areas, visible scarring is minimal. In some cases, this type of plastic surgery can produce better results in patients who have undergone previous surgeries.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Dr. Castillo performs most nose reshaping procedures using closed rhinoplasty, in which all incisions are made inside the nose. This process leaves no visible scarring and reduces recovery time since you'll have less swelling.

A Look at the Process

Dr. Castillo will determine if you're a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery during your consultation. If you are, you can schedule your surgery date. Your procedure will involve several steps:

“From the consultation with Dr Castillo to the transportation to the hospital to the recovery house and their staff....so professional, clean, helpful, and knowledgeable. Changed my life! Thank you!” — Lisa, 5-Star Review

Anesthesia

Rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure that's performed under general anesthesia by our registered anesthesiologist.

Making the Incisions

Dr. Castillo will make the incisions that give him access to the nasal tissues. With closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose. With open rhinoplasty, Dr. Castillo makes a short incision across the tissue that separates the two nostrils (the columella).

Grafting With Cartilage or Bone

Dr. Castillo may perform cartilage grafting, using nasal bone or cartilage from another site to straighten a deviated septum, build up cartilage, or change your nasal structure.

Splinting the Nose

Once your nose surgery is complete, Dr. Castillo will place a splint to allow everything to heal properly.

Aftercare Tips

Change Gauze

The internal dressings and splint that your plastic surgeon places will remain untouched for up to a week after your nose job. During this time, all you have to do is replace the piece of gauze, sometimes called the "drip pad," that's placed below your nose.

Avoid Strenuous Activity

The most important thing you can do in recovery is to relax. Avoid strenuous activity until Dr. Castillo gives you the green light to begin exercising again.

Be Gentle With Facial Movements

It's natural to smile, laugh, blow your nose, move your upper lip when brushing your teeth, and pull your clothes over your head. However, all of these activities can disrupt your splint. Be mindful of these impulses to avoid disrupting incisions.
