The cost of rhinoplasty in Mexico typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000. This price range can vary based on the complexity of the procedure. Many patients choose Mexico for rhinoplasty due to the combination of high-quality care and more affordable prices compared to the United States and Canada. Dr. Diaz offers personalized consultations to provide an accurate estimate tailored to individual needs.

Rhinoplasty, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, poor wound healing, dissatisfaction with the aesthetic results, and the possibility of needing revision surgery. It's important to discuss these risks with Dr. Diaz during your consultation to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding before proceeding with the surgery.

Rhinoplasty patients can expect to experience mild discomfort following nasal surgery. However, this discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed oral medication. Additionally, cold compresses can help alleviate any discomfort during the recovery period. Dr. Diaz will ensure you have the appropriate pain management plan to keep you comfortable after the procedure.

Rhinoplasty is expected to improve your breathing! Dr. Diaz is highly skilled in achieving enhancements in both breathing function and appearance. Initially, you may experience some nasal congestion after the surgery. However, within a few weeks, you should notice a significant improvement in your breathing, particularly if you had significant nasal obstruction before the procedure.

The duration of rhinoplasty surgery varies depending on the complexity of the changes being made. Typically, the procedure takes between 1 to 3 hours. During your consultation, Dr. Diaz will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific case

The initial recovery from rhinoplasty typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising are most prominent. These symptoms gradually improve over several weeks to months. Full results of the surgery may take up to a year to become fully visible. Dr. Diaz will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.

In most cases, swelling and bruising substantially reduce within one week after surgery, allowing patients to feel comfortable going out in public. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for two weeks following the procedure. However, they can gradually resume their usual routines, including exercise, at that time. Contact sports should be avoided for six weeks.

During the first week of recovery, there are no restrictions on wearing glasses over your cast. However, once the cast is removed, you should avoid wearing glasses (including sunglasses) directly on your nose for a total of 6 weeks after surgery. This is to prevent the weight of your glasses from shifting the healing nasal bones. If controlled bone fractures were not performed during your surgery, you can wear glasses at any time.
