Key Considerations – Why the First Step Matters
Your rhinoplasty journey begins with a calm and thorough consultation centered on you—your story, your goals, and your expectations.
Your rhinoplasty journey starts with a calm, focused consultation built entirely around you—your goals, your story, and your expectations.
With Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, ENT Surgeon and Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Madrid, Spain this first meeting is more than a medical visit—it is the blueprint for natural, balanced, and lasting results.
Guided by the Golden Ratio, precise analysis, and advanced simulations, Dr. Escobar ensures every plan respects your unique anatomy while achieving harmony and authenticity.
1. Clear Diagnosis & Roadmap
For many patients, reaching this moment is the result of years of reflection about a detail of their nose that has caused insecurity, influenced self-confidence, or even impacted personal and professional development. Taking the decision to sit down with a specialist marks the beginning of change.
In Madrid, Spain, Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, board-certified in facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty, understands the importance of this first step. The consultation is more than just a medical appointment—it is the culmination of your decision to seek answers and the starting point of a clear, guided process.
From this first encounter, Dr. Escobar takes the time to listen and explain what lies ahead. Together, you will move through the steps of his consultation method. By the end of this process, you will have not only a professional opinion but also a clear roadmap toward achieving natural, balanced, and satisfying results.
To guide this process, we introduce the Golden Ratio—a timeless principle of proportion used to evaluate harmony—not as a rigid formula, but as a framework for tailoring improvements to your unique anatomy. From there, you’ll see how the consultation unfolds: precise measurements, thoughtful computer simulation, unhurried Q&A, and a transparent discussion of options and value. The goal is simple: a clear, confident roadmap to results that appear authentically yours and stand the test of time.
2. Human beauty is defined by the Golden Ratio.
Golden Ratio — is a mathematical principle that reflects the harmony and balance found in nature.
Have you ever been captivated by someone’s face and couldn’t explain why?
Nothing about a single feature stood out—yet you couldn’t look away.
Often, it isn’t any one part at all, but proportion: the subtle mathematics of harmony.
When the eyes, nose, and lips align in certain relationships—known as the Golden Ratio—the brain instantly reads balance and beauty.
Beauty, in its most timeless form, is closely linked to the Golden Ratio — a mathematical principle that reflects the harmony and balance found in nature. In facial aesthetics, this means that the ideal appearance is not about copying a “perfect” nose or following a single standard, but about ensuring that the angles, ratios, and proportions of your features work together in natural harmony.
Dr. Paulo A. Escobar applies the Golden Ratio as a guiding framework during every rhinoplasty consultation. By carefully measuring the unique proportions of your face, he designs a surgical plan that enhances your natural features rather than altering them beyond recognition.
This approach helps avoid the artificial look and the visible “signs” of surgery, ensuring your result blends seamlessly with your overall facial structure. The goal is always to achieve a nose that feels like it has always belonged to you — balanced, proportionate, and free of surgical stigma.
3 Steps to Reveal your Potential
More than a consultation — the first step toward breathing better, looking natural, and feeling truly confident.
Your first rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, ENT Consultant and Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Madrid, Spain, is designed to go far beyond a routine medical visit. It is the foundation of a personalized journey where your anatomy, your goals, and your breathing health are carefully analyzed. Through detailed measurements, functional assessment, and Golden Ratio–guided analysis, Dr. Escobar builds a roadmap toward results that are natural, balanced, and authentically yours.
Step 1: Listening to you
Rather than a rushed 10-minute visit, Dr. Escobar sets aside unhurried time to listen, examine both form and function, and explain options in clear terms—so you can move forward with confidence.
At this step, the priority is to listen carefully to your concerns, expectations, and aesthetic desires.
Your rhinoplasty journey begins with a comprehensive first consultation with Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, internationally recognized Ent Consultant and facial plastic surgeon in Madrid, Spain. At this stage, the priority is to listen carefully to your concerns, expectations, and aesthetic desires. This is the moment where patient–surgeon communication truly begins.
During this session, Dr. Escobar will review your medical history and assess any previous nasal procedures, whether surgical or non-surgical. He will also evaluate your nasal function—including breathing, airflow, and septal structure—since long-term success in rhinoplasty requires not only an improved appearance but also preserved or enhanced function.
A detailed analysis of your nasal characteristics follows, focusing on essential factors such as skin thickness, cartilage support, symmetry, and tip definition.
During this step of the First consultation Dr. Escobar takes out his protractor and ruler to measure your face with laser-like precision. His mathematical approach is unique among many cosmetic surgeons who simply “wing it” during surgery. No matter how many decades of experience a surgeon has, measurements are required to achieve maximum accuracy and reliable results. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Dr. Paulo A. Escobar is a top-rated Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Madrid, Spain.
These elements determine what changes are possible and how stable the results will be over time. Identifying hidden anatomical details or functional issues at this early stage is critical to designing a safe and effective treatment plan.
This first step is not only diagnostic—it is the foundation for building realistic expectations. Many patients arrive with inspirational photos or a desired “ideal nose,” but it is only through the guidance of an experienced rhinoplasty expert that you can understand which goals are achievable for your unique anatomy.
By the end of Step 1, you and Dr. Escobar will have started shaping a shared vision for your treatment. This sets the stage for Step 2: Computer Simulation, where you will see a visual projection of potential results and begin aligning your goals with surgical planning.
Choosing an expert with nearly 20 years of experience in functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty ensures that your journey is informed, safe, and tailored to you from the very first consultation.
Step 2: Photos & Computer Simulation
A computerized study that measures your facial proportions, maps nasal anatomy, and applies a Golden Ratio–guided analysis.
We don’t just “take pictures.” We perform a standardized photo session (front, profile, ¾, base) and a computerized study that measures your facial proportions, maps nasal anatomy, and applies a Golden Ratio–guided analysis. Using these precise data, Dr. Escobar creates a realistic digital simulation—a tailored blueprint that shows how subtle adjustments to the bridge, tip, and angles can enhance harmony while preserving function.
In a side-by-side review, you and Dr. Escobar align expectations and limits based on your skin, structure, and breathing needs. This documented plan improves surgeon–patient communication, reduces misunderstandings, and helps lower the risk of revisions—because what’s agreed is what’s performed, not something improvised.
You’ll receive a digital copy of your simulation images after the consultation, so you can reflect on the plan with clarity and confidence. You will also receive a digital copy of your computer simulated images after your consultation. These computer simulation images are included in the cost of your first one-on-one consultation.
Step 3: Get Answers to Your Questions and Concerns
It’s natural to arrive with questions. Rather than a rushed 10-minute visit, Dr. Escobar sets aside unhurried time to listen, examine both form and function, and explain options in clear terms—so you can move forward with confidence.
Your first rhinoplasty consultation focuses on your goals, your anatomy, and your breathing, often with clinical photos, functional assessment (septum/valves/turbinates), and a tailored plan based on proportional analysis (e.g., Golden Ratio) and modern techniques.
What to bring
- Your goal list (what you like and what you’d change: front/profile/¾ views)
- Medical history: prior nasal/sinus surgery or trauma, allergies, breathing/sleep issues, medications/supplements
- If this is a revision, any operative reports and before/after photos
Smart checklist to ask at your consultation
- Planning & candidacy
- Am I a good candidate now, or should I wait (e.g., 12–18 months after a prior surgery)?
- What are the realistic goals for my anatomy?
2. Technique & safety
- Will you use an endonasal (closed), structural, preservation, or ultrasonic (piezo) approach—and why for me?
- Type of anesthesia: inhaled gas, endovenous, local…
- How will you address nasal function (septum, nasal valves, turbinates)?
- Will I need cartilage grafts (septum/ear/rib)?
3. Recovery & aftercare
- Expected downtime (work, exercise, travel) and key milestones
- Swelling timeline and when results typically refine (e.g., tip 6–12+ months)
- Post-op care: taping, splints, saline irrigations, follow-up schedule
4. Risks & expectations
- Main risks in my case and how you minimize them
- How do you handle concerns if a minor refinement is considered later?
Tip: Bring your questions written down. Clear answers—and a plan tailored to you—are the foundation for safe surgery, natural-looking results, and comfortable breathing that lasts.

My Rhinoplasty Philosophy: Natural Harmony & Lasting Function
Dr. Paulo A. Escobar — Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon & ENT Consultant— Advanced Scarless (Closed) Rhinoplasty in Madrid, Spain
For women and men—whether primary or revision—my intent is to achieve natural, balanced results that blend seamlessly with the face while preserving—often improving—breathing. Guided by facial proportions (Golden Ratio), I design a tailored surgical plan for each patient. When appropriate, I favor the endonasal (closed) approach to refine with precision, reinforce structure, and avoid visible external scars, aiming for long-term stability and function. Every case receives my direct oversight; we set realistic goals together, so results enhance beauty, respect individuality, and build confidence.
Revision rhinoplasty. Secondary surgery is both technically complex and emotionally demanding. I carefully review your prior history, support you throughout the process, prioritize restoring function, correct asymmetries, and pursue a soft, natural look.
