Rhinoplasty in Mallorca
Patented Duvet technique by Dr. García Ceballos. Aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty, ultrasonic rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty with natural, long-lasting results. More than 2,000 procedures performed in Palma de Mallorca.
The most demanding facial surgery, performed by an expert
Rhinoplasty reshapes the form, proportions or breathing function of the nose. It is one of the most technically complex procedures in plastic surgery: a single millimetre changes the result. The surgeon's experience is therefore decisive. Dr. García Ceballos has performed more than 2,000 rhinoplasties and is the creator of the Duvet technique, patented and exclusive to Mallorca Medical Group.
Unlike non-permanent treatments, rhinoplasty offers a permanent, harmonious result. The goal is not "a smaller nose" but a natural, balanced nose that does not betray surgery.
Typical candidates
Patients aged 17–18 onwards (once facial growth is complete), presenting a dorsal hump, deviation, drooping or bulbous tip, asymmetries, or breathing obstruction. Good general health, non-smoking status and realistic expectations are required.

One technique for each nose
Dr. García Ceballos evaluates each case individually with 3D nasal simulation to determine the most suitable technique according to nasal anatomy, skin quality and patient goals.
Primary rhinoplasty (Duvet technique)
First surgery on a non-operated nose. The Duvet technique performs conservative dorsal reshaping combined with refined tip work, resulting in less postoperative oedema and long-term stability. A natural, permanent result.
Revision rhinoplasty
Corrects suboptimal results from previous nasal surgery. Technically more complex due to scar tissue and possible structural deficits. Requires maximum expertise.
Functional septorhinoplasty
Combines aesthetic correction with septal surgery when breathing obstruction is present. A single operation addresses both shape and function. The functional component may have partial cover by some private insurance.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty
Uses piezoelectric instruments that sculpt nasal bones with submillimetre precision, reducing tissue trauma, swelling and postoperative bruising.
The first consultation (€40) includes 3D nasal simulation: we visualise the possibilities together (dorsum, tip, projection, rotation). Simulation clarifies goals and supports surgeon-patient communication, although it does not guarantee an exact outcome.
Week by week: what to expect after rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty recovery is well tolerated: patients report nasal congestion more than pain. The final result consolidates progressively over 12 months due to the slow nasal soft-tissue healing.
- D1-2
Rest with nasal splint
Relative rest with the head elevated. Mild discomfort and nasal congestion. The external splint protects the structure. Oral analgesia controls symptoms well.
- D7-10
Splint removal
The nasal splint is removed. Visible swelling persists, especially at the tip. Moderate social activity resumes. International patients are cleared to travel home.
- W3-4
Swelling subsides
Swelling reduces significantly. Return to non-physical work. Restrictions on exertion and contact sports remain.
- W6-8
Sports resumed
Gradual return to physical activity and sports. Nasal profile becomes refined.
- M3-12
Final result
80% of the result is visible at 3 months. The tip definition completes over 12 months, when the final result is settled.
