To obtain the best results in aesthetic surgery of the nose demands a lot from the medical surgeon. The aesthetic and facial proportions must be taken into account and do not consider the nose, as an isolated element. The adequate selection of the patient candidate for Rhinoplasty basically depends on good communication.

The surgeon must listen to the patient, understand his desires and establish an adequate balance between these desires and what the surgeon really estimates that can reasonably be achieved by means of the surgery. The election between the use of local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for the Rhinoplasty depends on the patient, the surgeon and the requirements of the surgical procedure planned.

There are different techniques to try to achieve the traced objectives in each specific case. Some of these methods imply the need to make external incisions while others can locate all the incisions in the internal region of the nose.  Rhinoplasty is not characterized for being a painful procedure for the patient. The discomfort present after the surgery consists basically in the sensation of intense nasal congestion, bruises and swelling, besides of discomfort that can be generated by the use of plaster cast during approximately a week.
