Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose. It can remove a hump, refine a tip that is too wide or reshape the whole nose, and improve your breathing if needed. Dr. Jesús Lago operates at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

Rhinoplasty in Practice
We tailor the surgery to what needs correcting. Full rhinoplasty treats the whole nose, including your breathing, under general anesthesia. If only the tip or the bridge (the dorsum) needs work, we do it under local anesthesia and you go home the same day. If both need correcting, we treat them together under general anesthesia.
We sculpt the bone with ultrasonic instruments, which cut bone while sparing the surrounding skin, blood vessels and cartilage. This means a shorter recovery. If your airway is blocked, we also correct the septum (septoplasty). A splint protects your nose for the first week.

What Our Patients Say
4.7 / 5 · Google reviews · Clínica 3 de Mayo Arturo Soria“The rhinoplasty surgeon Jesús Lago performed on me wasn't just cosmetic, as I'd intended. I went looking for cosmetic surgery to look better, and I came out with a beautiful nose and reconstructive surgery too. Dr. Sara looked after me brilliantly after the operation, with all the dressings I needed. The results are far better than I expected.”
Amparo Cabello

“I had my nose done with Dr. Jesús Lago and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very first consultation he came across as trustworthy and professional, explained the whole process clearly and answered all my questions.”

The price includes your preoperative assessment, the evaluation consultation, the surgery, your hospital stay for full rhinoplasty, and your follow-up appointments. Tip and dorsal hump surgery are outpatient procedures: you go home the same day.
Yes. Dr. Jesús Lago can treat the tip and the dorsal hump in a single operation, under general anesthesia.
After full rhinoplasty, the final result takes one to two years to settle. You can return to sports after six weeks.
The risks of rhinoplasty include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), infection, bleeding, and a result that isn't what you were hoping for. We go through them with you at your consultation.
No. Aesthetic rhinoplasty aims for a nose that is in harmony with your face. Feminizing rhinoplasty works on the angles of the nose.
