The Procedure
What is natural rhinoplasty?
Natural rhinoplasty is the evolution of traditional nose surgery: rather than eliminating facial characteristics, it harmonises them. The goal is not to make it obvious you have had surgery, but for your nose to look like the one you were always meant to have.
To achieve this we combine three technical elements:
- Digital 3D planning: before surgery we simulate the result on your own face so you approve the final shape precisely.
- Ultrasonic rhinoplasty (Piezo): remodels the bone with ultrasonic vibration instead of fracture. Less bruising, less swelling, less pain.
- Structural techniques (preservation rhinoplasty): preserve the natural dorsum and nasal ligaments, avoiding the "skeletonised" look typical of classical rhinoplasties.
Who is natural rhinoplasty for?
This is the technique indicated for patients —women and men— seeking subtle aesthetic corrections: a moderate dorsal hump, a drooping tip, a mild deviation or a wide dorsum. It is ideal for people who do not want to look like a different person, but rather the harmonised version of themselves.
We also handle more complex cases: secondary rhinoplasties (revisions of previous surgery), structural rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts and functional septorhinoplasty when there is nasal obstruction.
Open or closed: when we choose each technique
At the initial consultation, Dr. Gastón decides the surgical approach based on your anatomy:
- Closed rhinoplasty: internal incisions, no visible scar. Indicated for corrections of the dorsum and moderate hump.
- Open rhinoplasty: a small incision on the columella (3–4 mm) that becomes invisible. Indicated when the tip needs to be remodelled with millimetric precision or in secondary surgeries.
The procedure takes between 2 and 3 hours, is performed under general anaesthesia and allows same-day discharge. The nasal splint is removed at 7 days and the final result is apparent at 12 months, when the deep swelling of the tip has been fully reabsorbed.
Honest comparison
Surgical rhinoplasty or are there alternatives?
Before operating we always assess whether your case responds better to a non-surgical treatment. This is our honest evaluation of the alternatives:
Rhinomodelling with hyaluronic acid is an excellent entry point for mild cases. But if you are looking for a definitive change to the nasal shape, surgery is the only real answer. We will tell you directly at the consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered
Your surgery includes the surgical procedure, a personalised nutritional plan for the pre- and post-operative period, personal trainer sessions at our specialist gym, all medical follow-up appointments and continuous monitoring.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with the prescribed medication. Most patients describe minimal discomfort.
Initial results are visible after a few weeks. The final result is apparent between 3 and 6 months after surgery, once the skin has fully retracted.
With our comprehensive method, which includes a nutritionist and personal trainer, we help you build lasting habits to maintain your results permanently. The extracted fat cells do not return.
Most patients resume daily activities within 48–72 hours. Personalised medical follow-up ensures an optimal and safe recovery.
When nasal obstruction is present (septal deviation, collapsed valves, turbinate hypertrophy), functional rhinoplasty resolves the obstruction at the same time as improving aesthetics. This is called septorhinoplasty.
The first changes are visible at one month. The definitive nose is apparent between 12 and 18 months, when all the deep swelling has been reabsorbed. The tip is the last area to stabilise.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty and current structural techniques prioritise natural-looking results. The risk of an artificial appearance exists with aggressive or resectionist techniques; at NATURAL FIT we prioritise organic results.
Secondary rhinoplasties are technically more complex. This is why detailed planning with 3D simulation before surgery is so critical. Minor revisions are considered from the one-year mark.
Yes. An external splint for 7 days and, depending on the technique, absorbable internal packs for the first few hours. It is one of the most comfortable facial surgeries to recover from.

Honest information
Risks and safety of rhinoplasty
Every surgery, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so you can decide with complete information. At NATURAL FIT Body Contouring® we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them as much as possible.
Respiratory obstruction
Possible if the functional aspect is not addressed. A well-planned rhinoplasty respects or improves the airway.
Asymmetries or irregularities
Minor irregularities of the dorsum or tip may appear. These are assessed at one year and corrected if significant.
Columellar scar
In open rhinoplasty a minimal scar of 4–5 mm remains on the columella, which is virtually imperceptible.
Nasal sensitivity changes
Temporary numbness of the nasal tip that gradually returns to normal.
Bruising and persistent swelling
Inflammation that can take months to fully resolve, particularly in thicker skin types.
Septal perforation
Rare complication. Prevented with careful handling of the septum during surgery.
According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE) and the Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SEORL), rhinoplasty is a surgery requiring the highest level of specialisation, where a qualified surgeon is the decisive factor for both result and safety.
