Rhinoplasty in Mallorca
Dr. García Ceballos’s patented Duvet technique. Cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty, ultrasonic rhinoplasty, and septorhinoplasty with natural and long-lasting results. More than 2,000 procedures performed in Palma de Mallorca.
The most challenging facial surgery, performed by an expert
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose’s form, proportions, or respiratory function. It is one of the most technically complex procedures in plastic surgery: a single millimeter can change the outcome. The surgeon’s experience is therefore crucial. Dr. García Ceballos has performed more than 2,000 rhinoplasties and is the creator of the Duvet technique, which is patented and exclusive to Mallorca Medical Group.
Unlike non-permanent treatments, rhinoplasty offers a permanent and harmonious result. The goal is not "a smaller nose," but rather a natural, balanced nose that does not give away the fact that surgery was performed.
Typical candidates
Patients aged 17–18 and older (once facial growth is complete), with a dorsal hump, deviation, a drooping or bulbous tip, asymmetries, or respiratory obstruction. You must be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations. Find out in 2 minutes. You can access the rhinoplasty eligibility assessment here

A technique for every nose
Dr. García Ceballos evaluates each case individually using 3D nasal simulation to determine the most appropriate technique based on the patient’s nasal anatomy, skin quality, and goals.
Primary rhinoplasty (Duvet technique)
First surgery on a previously unoperated nose. The Duvet technique involves conservative dorsal reshaping combined with refined tip work, resulting in less postoperative swelling and long-term stability. A natural and permanent result.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Corrects suboptimal results from a previous nasal surgery. Technically more complex due to scar tissue and possible structural defects. Requires the highest level of expertise.
Functional septorhinoplasty
It combines cosmetic correction with septal surgery when there is a respiratory obstruction. A single procedure addresses both form and function. The functional component may be partially covered by some private insurers.
Rinoplastia ultrasónica
It uses piezoelectric instruments that sculpt the nasal bones with submillimeter precision, reducing tissue trauma, inflammation, and postoperative bruising.
The initial consultation (€40) includes a 3D nasal simulation: we’ll explore the possibilities together (bridge, tip, projection, rotation). The simulation helps clarify goals and facilitates communication between the surgeon and the patient, although it does not guarantee an exact result.
Week by Week: What to Expect After Rhinoplasty
Recovery from rhinoplasty is generally well tolerated: patients describe a sensation of nasal congestion rather than pain. The final result gradually stabilizes over the course of 12 months, due to the slow healing of the soft tissues of the nose.
- D1-2
Rest with nasal splint
Relative rest with the head elevated. Mild discomfort and nasal congestion. The external splint protects the structure. Oral pain medication effectively controls the symptoms.
- D7-10
Removal of the splint
The nasal splint is removed. Visible swelling persists, especially at the tip of the nose. Moderate social activities resume. International patients are cleared to return home.
- S3-4
The inflammation subsides
Inflammation is significantly reduced. Return to non-physical work. Restrictions on strenuous activity and contact sports remain in place.
- S6-8
Back to Sports
Gradual return to physical activity and sports. The nasal profile becomes more refined.
- M3-12
Final result
80% of the results are visible after 3 months. The definition of the tip is fully achieved over the course of 12 months, at which point the final results are established.
