Initial consultation
Dr. Alexander Lujan evaluates aesthetic goals, breathing concerns, nasal anatomy and medical history to establish candidacy.
STEP 2
Surgical planning
The surgical approach is selected according to whether the plan addresses appearance, function or both.
STEP 3
Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under the type of anesthesia appropriate for the surgical plan and patient safety.
STEP 4
Nasal reshaping
Incisions are placed inside the nose or discreetly at its base to reshape bone, cartilage and soft tissue as planned.
STEP 5
Closure and initial recovery
Incisions are closed and a nasal splint may be placed to protect the new structure during early recovery.
STEP 6
Recovery and final results
Dressings are removed according to medical instructions, and the result continues to refine as swelling decreases over several months.

Is rhinoplasty painful?
Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort after surgery. It is generally managed with prescribed medication and postoperative follow-up.
Can I have rhinoplasty after age 40?
Yes, when your health and nasal anatomy allow it. A medical evaluation determines candidacy and the most appropriate surgical approach.
How long does rhinoplasty recovery take?
Initial recovery often takes one to two weeks. The final result may take six to twelve months as residual swelling gradually resolves.
When will I see the final result?
Changes become visible progressively, but the nose can continue refining for up to a year after surgery.
Are rhinoplasty scars visible?
Incisions are generally placed inside the nose or discreetly at the base of the nose, depending on the technique, so scars tend to be inconspicuous.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?
In selected cases it may be combined with facial procedures such as chin surgery or a facelift to improve overall facial balance.
Can I breathe better after rhinoplasty?
When structural problems affect airflow, rhinoplasty may include functional corrections intended to improve breathing.
Will rhinoplasty change my entire facial expression?
The goal is to improve nasal proportion while preserving natural facial features and personal identity.
