Advanced Surgical Techniques
The clinic offers several methods to suit different nasal structures and patient needs. These include:
- Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty: Uses micro-ultrasonic vibrations to shape bone while protecting soft tissues.
- Preservation Rhinoplasty: Maintains the natural bridge of the nose while modifying the shape.
- Structured Rhinoplasty: Uses grafts to build a stable and long-lasting nasal framework.
- Hybrid and Endonasal Techniques: Provides options for both open and closed approaches.
For better accuracy, Dr. Fabiano Arruda uses Crisalix 3D imaging. This helps patients preview potential results before the surgery starts.
Procedure and Recovery
The surgery typically takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia. Most patients undergo the procedure as outpatients, though an overnight stay might be needed for complex revisions. A nasal splint is worn for about 7 days after the operation. Most people return to work or light activity within 7 to 14 days. While most swelling fades by 3 months, the final shape of the nose tip can take up to 24 months to fully settle.
Care and Support
Patients must stop smoking 4 weeks before and after the surgery to help healing. It is also important to avoid aspirin and similar drugs during this time. The clinic provides structured instructions for post-operative care, including keeping the head elevated and using cold compresses. The international staff assists patients in English and Spanish to help the process go smoothly. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a consultation for your procedure.
