Harmony · Natural results · Breathing function · Safety
Bring your nose into harmony with the rest of your face while keeping a natural appearance and healthy breathing. Dr. Freddy Castillo performs cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty using modern techniques and personalized planning.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the nose so it is in harmonious proportion with the other facial features. It can correct the nasal bridge (dorsum), the nasal tip, the nostrils and the nasolabial angle.
What does rhinoplasty involve?
Using a closed or open technique, Dr. Freddy Castillo reshapes the bone and cartilage structures of the nose to refine the bridge, the tip and the nostrils. When needed, he corrects the septum to improve breathing. Each plan is designed around the patient's anatomy and goals.
What can rhinoplasty improve?
- Nasal bridge (dorsal hump or depression)
- Nasal tip
- Nostril width
- Angle between the nose and upper lip
- Deviated septum (breathing)
Rhinoplasty Results
Rhinoplasty results become visible gradually, with a more harmonious, well-proportioned nose that preserves the natural look of each patient's face.

Rhinoplasty in Lima, Peru: frequently asked questions
- The nasal splint is removed after about 7 days. Most patients return to social activities within 10 to 14 days, while the final result becomes visible gradually over the following 6 to 12 months as the swelling resolves.
- In closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are placed inside the nose, with no external scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made on the columella which, with good technique, becomes virtually unnoticeable.
- Yes. When there is a deviated septum or an obstruction, functional rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty corrects these problems, improving breathing as well as the appearance of the nose.
- It is recommended to wait until facial growth is complete, generally from age 17 to 18. Dr. Freddy Castillo evaluates each case individually during the consultation.
- The cost depends on the complexity of the case, the technique used (structural or ultrasonic) and whether functional correction of the septum is included. Dr. Freddy Castillo provides a personalized quote after the consultation. Message us on WhatsApp for an evaluation.
- Both are valid options: closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar and is ideal for moderate changes; open rhinoplasty offers greater control in complex or revision cases, with a minimal scar on the columella. Dr. Freddy Castillo chooses the technique based on your nose and your goals.
