Nose Surgery - Rhinoplasty in Dubai

A nose job, known medically as rhinoplasty, can help to reshape the nose for cosmetic or functional reasons, such as correcting breathing problems, and can significantly improve a person’s facial harmonisation since it is one of the

first features that people notice.

The rhinoplasty procedure is performed to correct or reconstruct the nose’s shape. In most cases, rhinoplasty, or nose job, can enhance the aesthetic appearance and improve the dimensions of the face, as well as enhancing your natural features. From a medical point of view, it can also help with nasal functions such as breathing and for a deviated septum when the nasal passage is tilted to one side, making one passage smaller than the other. Rhinoplasty is a popular surgery, accounting for around 10% of cosmetic surgery requests worldwide.

 

TYPES OF RHINOPLASTIES

The most common problems that can be solved with rhinoplasty are bumps in the bridge of the nose, deviated septum, downturned or hooked noses, too wide or upturned nostrils as well as breathing difficulties. According to the type of problem that needs to be solved, your surgeon can indicate what type of surgery is more convenient. There are different types of rhinoplasties that can be done according to your needs:

 

– Standard Rhinoplasty (open rhinoplasty)

This involves full nose correction of the bridge, tip and nostrils, where a small external incision is made between the nostrils in order to perform more extensive work to alter the nasal structures. The incision is very moderate and with proper care it can be imperceptible.

 

– Rhino Tip (nose tip plasty)

Adjustment of the nose tip is the main focus. It is a less invasive procedure compared to the others as it doesn’t require intervention to the nasal bone, meaning that the recovery will be very quick.

 

– Preservation Rhinoplasty (closed rhinoplasty)

This procedure is performed internally to minimise scarring as the incisions are internal requiring less surgical time with a faster recovery. This is best for patients who require the bridge of the nose to be modified. This technique causes less swelling compared to open rhinoplasty, as it can correct minor imperfections.

 

– Septorhinoplasty

This is similar to the standard open rhinoplasty as it helps to correct those who suffer from a deviated septum (that causes the air passage to be smaller on one side), allowing you to breathe better. The procedure infrequently makes a difference to the aesthetic appearance of the nose and in most cases, it is performed under general anaesthesia.

 

RHINOPLASTY STYLES

Even though people from the same ethnic group frequently share facial features, each person’s facial features are distinctive to them. Within an ethnic group, certain physical traits, such as nose length, width, shape, and projection, may be comparable. We can divide rhinoplasty styles into 3 macro-categories:

 

1) Arab nose rhinoplasty

Arab rhinoplasty patients from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, or other Middle Eastern nations make ideal candidates. The Middle Eastern nose might have a prominent hump, nasal tip droopiness that gives the nose a hooked or pointed appearance and a broad nasal base that gives the appearance of flared nostrils. Rhinoplasty in this case is intended to reshape the nose to produce an aesthetically pleasing look while maintaining the inherent ethnic characteristics of the nose that are specific to people who are of Middle Eastern descent. Asian or Indian rhinoplasty techniques use the same surgical principles.

 

2) Asian and ethnic rhinoplasty 
 

The average Asian nose seems to be flat, somewhat tiny, and poorly defined at the tip. These noses might have tips that are frequently broad and noticeable from the front. Asian and ethnic rhinoplasty tip refinement is accomplished by sculpting the lower lateral or alar cartilage, which is round and bulbous. Either the closed rhinoplasty procedure or the open rhinoplasty approach can be used to accomplish this to give the nose a more refined appearance and to make it more harmonious with the rest of the facial features.


3) Caucasian rhinoplasty

Characteristics of a Caucasian nose are that the nose appears long, narrow, and thin. Also, the tip is thin, and the bridge is fairly noticeable. The most common rhinoplasty concerns from Caucasian patients are nasal lumps, misshapen nostrils, and undefined or drooping nasal tips. To achieve the desired look for a Caucasian rhinoplasty, the skin, underlying cartilage, bone, and nasal lining are typically modified to improve the appearance of the nose while maintaining Caucasian facial traits.

 

PREPARATION

In order to get ready for nasal surgery, there are a few things to take into consideration. Like all surgical procedures, a medical assessment and lab testing will be done to check your general health. Pictures prior to the surgery will be taken so that the computer software can show the possible postoperative outcomes. Smoking must be stopped prior to the surgery, and you must inform the doctor about any medications you are taking.

 

ANAESTHESIA

Both local anaesthetic and sedation and general anaesthesia are effective options for closed rhinoplasty in the hands of a skilled surgeon. The right type of anaesthesia for your specific treatment will typically be recommended by your surgeon and anaesthetist. General anaesthesia is always used to perform a complete rhinoplasty.

 

SURGERY TIMING

The average nose job lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, but it can take longer if intensive work is required. After the nose surgery is finished, you will recuperate in a recovery area before being sent home.

 

AFTER THE PROCEDURE

Right after the procedure, bandages and a splint that will act as a cast for the nose will be placed for a week after which you will be going in for a follow-up with your surgeon so that the splint can be removed as well as any stitches. Bruising and swelling may still remain, however, this will go down within 10 days.

It is also advised to refrain from strenuous exercise for a few weeks to allow the bones to heal.

RHINOPLASTY FAQs


WHAT DOES A RHINOPLASTY DO?

Rhinoplasty does nose restructuring. Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by altering its bones or cartilage. Cosmetic nose surgery in Dubai may be performed for medical purposes to improve overall function or address respiratory problems.


IS RHINOPLASTY PAINFUL?

Rhinoplasty is not painful. The patient is asleep during rhinoplasty because it is performed under general anaesthesia or sedation. Due to sinus pressure, the patient may wake up after the treatment with some degree of pain, soreness, congestion, and bruises. To help with these side effects, you will be offered some over-the-counter painkillers. Cornerstone Clinic carries out a pain-free nose job Dubai.


CAN RHINOPLASTY GO WRONG?

Rhinoplasty can go wrong when performed by someone who is not a professional. There are risks associated with every operation, whether it be a non-surgical or a surgical procedure. The most significant risk associated with a Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a “Rhinoplasty gone wrong,” is that the patient will require many sophisticated revision rhinoplasty surgeries to fix the permanent malformations in their nose.


AT WHAT AGE CAN SOMEONE HAVE A RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE?

At the age of 17, someone can have a rhinoplasty procedure. From a technical standpoint, rhinoplasty can be performed on patients who have reached complete facial, skeletal, and mental development. For example, at the age of 17, when the face has reached adult proportions, rhinoplasty may be an option. However, as this is a significant, practically irreversible decision, the young patient would need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of permanently altering the nose.


HOW MUCH IS A RHINOPLASTY IN DUBAI?


How much is a nose job in Dubai

A rhinoplasty cost varies in Dubai, depending upon different factors. Rhinoplasty cost in Dubai, or a successful rhinoplasty process, depends on a number of variables, such as whether it is a revision rhinoplasty (to fix a botched rhinoplasty) or a primary rhinoplasty (the first time to undergo the surgery). 

 

Other factors include the clinic’s location, the primary purpose for the treatment, and the plastic surgeon’s education and professional background. This is the price of a single operation. The cost will be higher if the patient requires more than one surgery, such as to rectify a botched rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty at Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai offers affordable surgery.


HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY AFTER A RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE?

The recovery after a rhinoplasty procedure varies depending on the type of procedure. The type of rhinoplasty performed determines the healing period, also known as downtime. Open and closed rhinoplasties are the two varieties of the procedure. 

 

Best rhinoplasty in Dubai reflects that in any case, the patient can return to work after a recovery period of 9 to 13 days, during which time the edema has significantly decreased. Rhinoplasty before-and-after photos in Dubai highlight impressive results.
