The rhinoplasty is the surgical procedure that aims to give a new nose shape reaching an improvement in the esthetic and functional part of the patients according to their expectations, social and ethnic environment.

Dr Alejandro Lastra does a very detailed analysis in every patient in order to get the ideal nose. Pictures and specialized computer projections are used in order to comprehend clearly the patients’ desires and foresee the result of the surgery.

Thi is an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and normal activities can be retaken in a few days with minimum sick leave (2 or 3 days)

In the immediate postoperative period, the patient will be able to breathe directly through the nose since this technique used by Dr Alejandro Lastra does not require the implementation of nasal packing. With this technique most patients will not develop ecchymosis (bruises) around the eyes and visible scars either in any part of the nose. The pain during the postoperative is slight allowing a much quicker and pleasant recovery.

Bear in mind it is essential that esthetic and functional rhinoplasty must be performed by a facial surgeon and otorhinolaryngologist undeniably, in order to obtain optimal, functional and, moreover, natural results.
