Vive Plastic Surgery Center has the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Tijuana, Mexico. because we understand the best and most effective techniques to achieve a profiled and harmonious nose.
Can rhinoplasty create the "perfect" nose?
Aesthetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) redefines the shape and size of the nose, bringing it into harmony with the other parts of the face. Because the nose is a prominent facial feature, even a slight alteration can greatly improve appearance. Rhinoplasty alone cannot give you a perfect profile, make you look like someone else, or improve your personal life. Before surgery, it is very important that the patient have a clear, realistic understanding of what change is possible as well as the limitations and risks of the procedure.
Skin type, ethnic background, and age will be among the factors considered preoperatively by the surgeon. Except in cases of severe breathing impairment, young patients usually are not candidates until their noses are fully grown, typically at 15 or 16 years of age.
Who is the typical candidate for rhinoplasty (nose job)?
The decision to undergo rhinoplasty in Tijuana is extremely personal. If you feel that the appearance of your nose is affecting your confidence, social life, or success in your profession, you are probably a candidate to undergo surgery to reshape your nose, or improve breathing function, or both. Learn more below in our Table of Candidacy.
Large Nose
When the nose is large, it draws attention away from your other attractive facial features. Reshaping it surgically can bring a more appealing balance to your face overall, along with greater self-confidence socially, personally, and in business dealings.
Large, Bulbous, Droopy Nose Tip
If you feel your nose tip is too heavy, large, or drooping, it can be reshaped surgically for a more refined appearance. Depending upon your unique aesthetic issues, bone and cartilage may need to be altered and reshaped to create a balanced look.
Hump On Nose Bridge, Flat Bridge
Smoothing a large hump or adding volume to a flat nose bridge can create a significant improvement in your facial balance and harmony. Rhinoplasty surgery can trim away or add volume for refined and appealing profile.
Nostril Issues – Large, Long, Wide
Your nostril shape and size can be altered with a rhinoplasty, so your nostrils look more attractive, rather than drawing unwanted attention. Reshaping the nostrils is commonly performed during rhinoplasty or could be a single procedure.
Pinched Nose Tip, Crooked Nose, ETC.
If your nose is asymmetrical, has been broken, crooked, or oddly-shaped, rhinoplasty can alter and repair it, so you feel more confident in your facial appearance. Any functional problems with breathing can be resolved in the same surgery.

Open VS. Closed Rhinoplasty
OPEN RHINOPLASTY
Open rhinoplasty involves placing an incision at the base of the small strip of tissue between the nostrils, so the skin can be pulled back and the full structure accessed. This surgical procedure is commonly employed when a patient requires extensive nose reshaping, including alterations to the nose bridge, tip, and to alter the width of the nose. After healing, the tiny incision is almost invisible, appearing as a fine white line, hidden under the nose where it meets the face.
CLOSED RHINOPLASTY
A closed rhinoplasty has a big advantage in that no surgical incisions are made on the outer portion of the nose, so no visible scars are created. The incisions are made within the nostrils, from which the nose corrections are made. This approach may not be effective for those who have more serious cosmetic issues to resolve but is often appropriate for minor nose bridge humps and bumps.
