Specialties and Specialized Procedures

The clinic centers its practice on ultrasonic rhinoplasty, a method that replaces traditional hammers and chisels. High-frequency vibrations make precise cuts in the bone. This reduces tissue damage, bruising, and swelling after surgery. The clinic performs several variations of this procedure:

• Primary ultrasonic rhinoplasty for first-time patients
• Reconstructive ultrasonic rhinoplasty for revision cases
• Functional rhinoseptoplasty with turbinoplasty to improve breathing
• Cleft lip nasal deformity surgery
• Facial feminization surgery (FFS)

Every procedure follows a thorough pre-surgical evaluation. Specialists use nasolaryngoscopy to examine internal nasal structures. They combine this with facial analysis and hand-drawn planning to align results with patient expectations. Reconstructive cases often use the patient's own septal cartilage to restore nasal proportions.

Technology and Equipment

The facility has specific diagnostic and recovery technologies. During initial consultations, specialists use a nasolaryngoscope to assess functional capacity. This tool gives a detailed view of the airway before surgery begins. Ultrasonic technology allows for simultaneous coagulation and bone reshaping during the operation.

High-power laser sessions support recovery. These help monitor progress and reduce inflammation after surgery. The clinic also uses clinical photography and facial analysis software for precise surgical planning.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides a dedicated patient journey for those traveling from abroad. Patients commonly visit from Spain, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The team offers guidance throughout the process in Spanish. Telemedicine consultations are available for initial planning.

Postoperative care is a priority. The clinic provides a four-week monitoring protocol for smooth recovery. International patients also receive post-surgical nutrition guides to support healing.
