Rhinoplasty in Dubai, more commonly known as “a nose job”

The nose is without doubt our most prominent facial feature, and its shape is important to our overall appearance. The goal of a “nose job” in Dubai, also known as rhinoplasty, is to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose, the function of the nose, or both. From correcting a birth defect, repairing an injury, improving breathing, or simply improving your appearance, Cornerstone Clinic can help you achieve your desired results.

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

Whether you are considering rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons or for medical reasons our board-certified surgeons at Cornerstone Clinic will be able to assess and advise on your individual needs. Below, however, are some of the main reasons people consider rhinoplasty in Dubai:

• A nose that is disproportionately large for your face
• A hump or depression on the nasal bridge
• A that is too wide
• A drooping nasal tip
• An enlarged nasal tip
• Excessively flared nostrils
• An off-centre or crooked nose
• A nose that is defective from birth or due to injury
• A nose that causes difficulty in breathing

What is the procedure for rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can be performed either with open surgery or with closed surgery. While the closed surgery method is often preferred by patients as there is no visible scarring, the open surgery method is often preferred by surgeons as it allows them to gain a better view of the inside of the nose as well as greater access to its support structure.

• Open surgery – incisions are made at the outer base of the nose between the nostrils. This can result in minor visible scarring, but it provides better visibility for your surgeon to adjust the underlying structures.
• Closed surgery – incisions are made inside the nasal cavity. This technique prevents any visible scarring and leaves the patient’s nose looking untouched.

How long does the procedure take?

Rhinoplasty usually lasts between two and three hours. The length of time will depend on the necessary corrections and adjustments needed to achieve your desired results.

How much recovery time is needed?

The recovery time after Rhinoplasty in Dubai will be individual to each patient and your surgeon will discuss your after-care instructions. After surgery, you can expect bruising and swelling to your nose and eyes. Most patients can return to work after one to three weeks. Below are some tips we have complied that can help speed up recovery:

• Use an ice pack to reduce swelling, pressure, and bruising
• Rest as much as possible
• Keep your head elevated
• Take walks outside to increase oxygen flow throughout the body
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat a nutritious diet
• Lower salt intake as sodium can increase swelling
