Rhinoplasty in Tijuana

The price is defined in your assessment, based on whether it's primary, ultrasonic, or secondary, and on your case's real scope. We prefer to give you a personalized quote rather than a generic price. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll guide you.

It's nose surgery. It can work on the bridge, the tip, the nostrils, and the septum, with an aesthetic goal, a functional one (improving breathing), or both at once. The plan is defined with you in your assessment, never beforehand or from a catalog.

That's determined in a medical assessment. Dr. Chama reviews your nasal and facial anatomy, your history, and what you're looking for, and explains options, scope, and limits before any decision.

The difference is in how the bone is worked: the ultrasonic technique sculpts with an ultrasonic instrument instead of chisel and mallet, with more precision and, generally, less trauma to the surrounding soft tissue. It doesn't replace surgical judgment on cartilage and skin — it's another tool, not a different nose. Whether your case benefits from it is defined in your assessment.

It's a revision on a nose that's already been operated on. It's different because the surgeon no longer starts from untouched anatomy: there is internal scar tissue, cartilage that may have weakened or shifted, and sometimes less tissue available to work with. That's why it usually requires more planning up front — and often grafts of your own cartilage to rebuild support.

When there's a real airway obstruction — typically from a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves — that makes it hard to breathe through one or both nostrils. Sleeping with your mouth open, feeling one side constantly 'blocked,' or noticing that an old injury changed your breathing are signs that get checked in your assessment, not a self-diagnosis.

Yes: it's called septorhinoplasty when it combines aesthetic work with septum correction. It's a decision made together with you in your assessment, after examining both the inside and outside of the nose.

The bone and cartilage structure, the thickness and elasticity of your skin, the position of the septum, airway patency, your medical and surgical history — including any prior nasal surgery — and whether the goal is aesthetic, functional, or both. That's where the plan and personalized quote come from.

Generally with general anesthesia or deep sedation, in a hospital setting (Hospital MAC). The technique — open or closed, with or without septum work — is defined based on your anatomy and explained in detail in your consultation.

It progresses in stages: the first few days you wear an external splint and swelling and bruising around the eyes is normal; the splint comes off in the first week and most of the visible swelling subsides in two to three weeks. The final shape keeps settling slowly and progressively over several months. Exact timing varies by patient; in your assessment you get concrete instructions.

The major change is noticeable when the splint comes off, but the nose keeps refining gradually as deep tissue swelling goes down. At the tip, which has the most soft tissue, that process can take up to twelve months. It's not a surgery with an immediate result.

As with any surgery: swelling, bruising, bleeding or infection, temporary asymmetry while swelling goes down, sensation changes at the tip that are usually temporary, and in revisions, more technical difficulty due to scar tissue. These are explained in detail, for your case, in your assessment.

In closed technique, the incisions stay inside the nose and leave no visible mark. In open technique, there's a small incision on the columella (the skin between the nostrils) that in trained hands scars discreetly. Which technique applies to your case is decided in your assessment.

Generally, it's done once facial growth is complete, which is usually mid-to-late adolescence onward, and it's always confirmed case by case. There's no fixed maximum age: it depends on your anatomy and overall health, evaluated in your assessment.

Yes. Proportion and breathing function don't discriminate by gender; the plan is adjusted to the patient's anatomy and facial profile, not to a template.

We coordinate a bilingual virtual consultation for your initial assessment and to answer questions before you travel. Since the splint comes off in the first week, we plan your stay in Tijuana to cover that check-up; follow-up in the following months, while the shape keeps refining, can be done remotely.

A board-certified plastic surgeon who evaluates the nose as part of the whole face — not as an isolated piece —, operates in a hospital setting, provides bilingual follow-up, and offers ultrasonic rhinoplasty with experience in secondary revisions.
