Frequently asked questions

What accreditation should I look for in Mexican rhinoplasty surgeons?
Surgeons should be certified by the Consejo Mexicano de Cirugia Plastica, Estetica y Reconstructiva and ideally be members of the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (AMCPER). CSG-accredited facilities are the minimum standard.
What does a rhinoplasty package in Mexico include?
Packages cover pre-op consultation with 3D simulation, blood work, rhinoplasty under general anaesthesia, one night of hospitalisation, nasal splint and cast, medications, and a recovery house or hotel for seven to ten days.
What rhinoplasty techniques are common in Mexico?
Open and closed rhinoplasty techniques are both performed, with many Mexican plastic surgeons trained in US residency programmes. Piezoelectric rhinoplasty and preservation rhinoplasty (dorsal-sparing) techniques are available at premium clinics.
What aftercare follows rhinoplasty in Mexico?
The cast is removed at seven days. Patients should stay for seven to ten days post-surgery. A follow-up before departure assesses healing, and clinics schedule video call check-ins at one and three months.
How do international patients pay for rhinoplasty in Mexico?
A 30-50% deposit in US dollars via credit card or bank transfer secures the date. The balance is due on arrival. Rhinoplasty is cosmetic and not insurance-covered. Prices are typically quoted in US dollars for American patients.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, allowing the surgeon to directly visualize nasal structures — preferred for complex reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions entirely inside the nostrils with no visible external scarring but offers more limited surgical access.
When will the final shape of my nose be visible?
The cast is removed at about one week and initial results are apparent, but the nose will be noticeably swollen. Most swelling resolves within 3-6 months, though subtle tip refinement continues for 12-18 months. Patients with thicker skin may require up to 2 years to see their definitive result.
What happens if I am not satisfied with my rhinoplasty results?
Revision rhinoplasty can address residual asymmetry, breathing issues, or aesthetic concerns, but surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months for all swelling to resolve. Revision surgery is more complex due to scar tissue, so choosing a surgeon experienced in revision cases is critical. Approximately 5-15% of patients seek revision.
Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Candidates should have fully developed facial bone structure — typically by age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys — and be in good overall health. Results depend on existing skin thickness, cartilage strength, and facial anatomy. Active smokers should quit at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.
What scarring should I expect from rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scars since all incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty produces a small scar on the columella that typically fades to a nearly invisible line within 3-6 months. Sun protection during healing is important to prevent scar darkening.
