Closed technique
With hidden incisions

At AmayaClinic®, this procedure is performed under general anesthesia, using small, hidden incisions inside the nose. It is minimally invasive, ensures a quick recovery, and delivers personalized, harmonious results tailored to each face.

Nose surgery is one of Dr. Felipe Amaya’s greatest passions, where he masterfully blends art and science. His signature technique, the “skewer graft,” has become a key differentiator in achieving precise nasal tip definition.

Cases Requiring Rhinoplasty

Every nose type presents unique challenges and specific corrections that may require different approaches to achieve optimal and natural-looking results.

Common Issues

Nariz latina
Latino Nose
  • Osteocartilaginous hump.
  • Drooping nasal tip, which becomes more pronounced when smiling due to the presence of the depressor septi muscle.
Afrodescendant Nose
  • Low nasal bridge (low radix) and a very small dorsum.
  • Wide and poorly defined tip.
  • Thin and weak cartilage structure, contrasted with thick skin.
Asian Nose
  • Small with a low dorsum and a tip that is under-projected or poorly defined.

Our Solutions

We perform a dorsum reduction of the nose, which yields the best results. With a simple procedure, lasting about an hour, surprising changes can be achieved.

The goal is to refine, not alter, the ethnic traits, achieving greater definition in the tissues. However, the structure of some patients may limit the significant reduction of the nasal tip.

The thin skin of Asian patients makes it easier to shape and add volume to the nasal tip, allowing for more harmonious and personalized results that enhance its definition and shape.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nose Surgeries

Does AmayaClinic® perform secondary rhinoplasties?

Dr. Felipe Amaya does not operate on patients with previous interventions that have left aesthetic or functional sequelae, as these cases are complex due to internal scarring. It is recommended that these patients be treated by specialists in secondary rhinoplasty.

We use rasping to remove the bump, avoiding tools like hammers, chisels, or other technologies. This reduces trauma and guarantees a more controlled and predictable result.

Dr. Felipe Amaya addresses conventional obstructive problems like deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. For more complex functional cases, an otolaryngologist is involved.

Although the nose is very sensitive, the surgery is surprisingly minimally painful. Despite facial swelling in the first few days, pain is usually minimal. We use tranexamic acid to prevent bleeding, ensuring that our patients experience minimal bruising and swelling.

Although nasal packing is generally not required, in some surgeries, Merocell® nasal packs may be necessary. These packs are easily removed because they do not adhere to the nasal walls.

Implants are not recommended. Typically, we use the patient’s own nasal cartilage. In more complex cases, cartilage may be taken from the ear.

  • The recovery is quick and almost painless. 
  • There may be bruising and swelling in the first few days, but with medication to accelerate recovery. 
  • Rest is recommended during the first week. Dressings are changed weekly and removed after one month.
  • After one week, patients can travel and continue treatment at home.

The change is immediately visible. Swelling decreases significantly during the first week and completely disappears after three months. During this time, avoid impact sports, sun exposure, and any trauma to the nose. Use sunscreen, an umbrella, and a hat to protect yourself.
