Rhinoplasty in Barcelona

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a procedure that allows us to alter the shape and size of the nose to achieve a more harmonious appearance with the rest of the face; however, it can also serve a functional purpose, such as correcting deviations in the nasal septum that make it difficult to breathe through the nose (known as septoplasty).

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures at our cosmetic surgery clinic in Barcelona.

To achieve the best results, rhinoplasty must be tailored to each individual patient. The surgeon’s experience is key to understanding how to address each aesthetic issue with the nose, in order to achieve a nose that is more in harmony with the face and has a natural appearance and allows for unimpeded breathing.

The most common rhinoplasty procedures we perform at our clinic in Barcelona:

• • Rhinoplasty ultrasonic
  • Rhinoplasty for reduction
  • Rhinoseptoplasty
  • Nose augmentation
  • Revision rhinoplasty
  • Narrowing of the wing bases

• Improvement in the appearance and function of the nose.
• Renowned and experienced surgeons such as: Dr Joan San Miguel, Dr Nil Prats and Dr David Mis.
• Operating theatre, located in the same clinic, is ISO 7-certified and accredited by CMA
• Anaesthetist in-house.
• Price fixed guaranteed with no hidden costs.
• Hundreds of patients who are very satisfied with the results achieved and the treatment they received throughout the whole of their treatment.

Are you a candidate for rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty may be considered from the age of 18–20 years old, once facial development has been completed. There is no upper age limit, although in patients of an advanced age the a22> assess the general state of health prior to the procedure.

You are a suitable candidate if you find yourself in one or more of the following situations:

• A hump on the bridge of the nose that disrupts the harmony of the profile
• A broad, drooping, asymmetrical or flat nasal tip
• A nose that appears disproportionate in relation to the rest of the face
• A deviation of the nasal septum which hinders nasal breathing
• A pre-operative result of rhinoplasty that has not met your expectations
• A deformity of the nose resulting from a single traumatic injury

The procedure is not recommended if you have uncontrolled systemic conditions, blood clotting disorders, active infections in the area, or if your expectations do not align with what the surgery can realistically achieve. During the pre-operative consultation, each case is assessed individually and you will be given full and transparent information about what the procedure can and cannot achieve.

How we perform rhinoplasty at Pedralbes Clinic

The pre-operative consultation

It all begins with an initial consultation, during which the surgeon assesses the overall shape of the nose, listens to the patient’s goals and explains what is technically feasible in each case. A morphological photograph is taken and, where necessary, a CT scan may be requested to plan the procedure in greater detail. This initial consultation is included in the price of the procedure.

The intervention

Rhinoplasty is performed under local or general anaesthesia in Pedralbes Clinic’s own operating theatre. The procedure takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The surgical approach – open, closed or ultrasonic – is determined based on the pre-operative planning.

Once the procedure is complete, a nasal splint is fitted, which the patient will wear for the first 7–10 days. The procedures are carried out on an outpatient basis: the patient arrives in the morning and returns home accompanied by a companion on the same day.

The postoperative period

The post-operative period following rhinoplasty follows a a5> pattern that is predictable and which it is important to be aware of before the procedure:

Days 1 to 7. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are at their worst during the first few days. This is completely normal and to be expected. We recommend taking it easy, applying cold compresses, keeping your head elevated and avoiding strenuous activity. Your nose will be blocked due to the swelling.

Days 7–10. The nasal splint is removed during an outpatient check-up. The swelling begins to subside. The majority of the patients can resume their work activities in office environments at this point in time.

From month 1 to month 3. 70–80% of the final result is already visible. You can take part in sport of low impact. It is important to protect the nose from direct impacts and avoid exposure to the sun without sunscreen.

From month 12 to month 18. The result is considered final once the residual swelling at the tip of the nose has completely subsided. Noses with a hump show results sooner; those requiring work on the tip require more patience.

Fear of ending up looking as though you’ve had a nose job?

At Pedralbes Clinic, our three maxillofacial surgeons specialising in rhinoplasty tailor each procedure to achieve results that are 100% harmonious with your face and without the appearance of a surgically altered nose.

For us, the best way to assess a surgeon’s work is to look at their actual results. During your pre-operative consultation, we will show you a selection of cases with a similar anatomy to yours, documented with clinical before-and-after photographs, so that you can see what a nose job can achieve.

First consultation and assessment pre-operative tailored

The initial consultation for rhinoplasty is a crucial step in carrying out a comprehensive assessment of both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose, in order to determine the best surgical options. During this consultation, we:

• A comprehensive study of the face and the nose.
• Detailed assessment of the nasal and facial anatomy to ensure the harmony of the final result
• Personalised planning of outcomes to visualise possible changes in a realistic manner and reach a consensus on expectations.

When a patient presents with breathing difficulties or possible functional problems, a nasal CT scan is performed to detect any deviations of the nasal septum, turbinate hypertrophy or other conditions that can be addressed during the same procedure.

During the consultation, the surgeon will explain clearly:

• The objectives of the intervention and the results that it hopes to achieve
• Details of the surgical procedure.
• The process of recovery and post-operative care.
• Recommendations before and after the surgery.

The aim is for the patient to make an informed decision about their nose surgery, feeling confident and secure about the procedure.

How much does a rhinoplasty cost in Barcelona?

The cost of a rhinoplasty in Barcelona varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, the technique chosen and the clinic where it is performed. At Pedralbes Clinic, the price of a rhinoplasty starts from €4,700 and may increase depending on the following factors:

• Surgical technique: ultrasonic rhinoplasty or secondary rhinoplasty require more time and specialised equipment.
• Scope of the procedure: a rhinoseptoplasty which combines aesthetic correction a10> and functional correction is more complex than a rhinoplasty of the tip.
• Anaesthesia: in some cases general anaesthesia is required, which may affect the total cost.

What does the price include?

The treatment at Pedralbes Clínic includes a pre-operative consultation, a personalised facial assessment, the necessary pre-operative tests, access to our own ISO 7-certified operating theatre, the full medical team (surgeon, anaesthetist, surgical nurse), anaesthesia, and all post-operative check-ups until discharge.

What types of nose can we correct?

Rhinoplasty can address virtually any anatomical variation of the nose. These are the most common procedures performed at our clinic:

1. Hooked beak or with a hump on the back. The hump on the profile is one of the most common reasons for consultation. Rhinoplasty removes the protrusion and harmonises the bridge of the nose with the overall appearance of the face.
2. Nose wide. This involves reducing the bridge of the nose, narrowing the base of the nostrils or reshaping the tip, depending on which structures are contributing to the excessive width.
3. Nose crooked or bent. Whether of congenital or traumatic origin. The procedure aligns the nasal bridge and improves facial symmetry.
4. The tip of the curve or that runs down to a smile. It lifts and locks the tip, improving the nasolabial angle.
5. Pointed bulbous. The cartilaginous structure of the tip is is redefined to achieve a look that is more refined and defined.
6. Nose short or excessively upturned. It stretches and repositioning for a more natural look.
7. Nose asymmetrical. The differences between the two halves are corrected to improve the overall proportions of the face.
8. Nose with respiratory problems. Rhinoseptoplasty addresses both the aesthetic and functional aspects.
9. Nose post-traumatic. Injuries caused by blows or accidents alter the structure of the nose; rhinoplasty restores its shape and function.
10. Nose surgery. Revision rhinoplasty improves the results of previous surgeries that have produced an undesirable outcome.
