FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Where are these types of operations performed and how long do I have to be hospitalized?

How long can i return to normal activities?

Approximately 5 business days later, the patient can return to work or school activities that take place outside the home. To return to physical and sports activities, it is recommended to wait between 3 weeks and a month after surgery. For sun exposure it is recommended to wait until the possible bruises have completely disappeared (approximately a month).
Is it possible to have pain after rhinoplasty?
It depends a lot on the patient, but it is generally not painful. Patients usually manifest a feeling of nasal congestion. In case of pain you can take certain painkillers, previously consulted with the doctor.
What is the minimum and maximum age to perform rhinoplasty?
The ideal thing for a surgery with aesthetic purposes is to wait for the patient to have sufficient physical and psychological maturity, this is around 16 years of age (this rule is not absolute) since the development of each patient may vary. There may be the case of the need for a rhinoplasty in minors due to medical indication or associated health problems, taking into account that in both cases the consent of both parents is required.
There is no upper age limit to perform this type of surgery, unless there is a health problem that prevents general anesthesia.

When do I start to see the results?
