What Is Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a ‘nose job,’ is a transformative surgical procedure designed to alter the shape of the nose, enhance breathing, and achieve facial harmony. This procedure also corrects nasal deformities resulting from injury or congenital conditions. Nose surgery involves modifications to the nose’s bone, cartilage, and skin. It addresses both the bony upper structure and the cartilaginous lower portion, allowing for comprehensive refinement.

Our expert plastic surgeon assesses your facial features and nasal structure during the consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan. Our nose enhancement treatments in Dubai offer a sophisticated solution for achieving the perfect balance and proportion, ensuring that each aspect of your nose complements your overall appearance.

WHAT DIFFERENT NOSE SURGERIES ARE THERE?

There are different reasons why people choose to have nose surgery. Therefore, different techniques and approaches to rhinoplasty address the patient’s specific needs and concerns. Some common types of nose surgeries include:

  1. Traditional rhinoplasty: This nose surgery is usually done for aesthetic reasons. It can improve the shape, size, projection, and other features of the nose.
  2. Revision rhinoplasty: This nose surgery is performed to correct the mistakes of previous nose job procedures. 
  3. Functional rhinoplasty: This type of surgery improves breathing or addresses the deviated septum. There are two subtypes of functional rhinoplasty – septoplasty and turbinectomy. Septoplasty resolves the deviated septum issue by reshaping the misaligned cartilage and bone. This way, the two nasal passages are separated, improving the airflow. Turbinectomy resolves the problem of turbinate hypertrophy, or the condition where the patient’s turbinates are swollen, which causes improper nasal breathing, nosebleeds, and constant sinus infections. Once the turbinates are reduced, the patient can breathe through the nose without constrictions. 

Regarding the technique, rhinoplasty can be done as an open or closed procedure. The open rhinoplasty involves creating an incision on the outside of the nose, just underneath the nostrils. Closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nose. Additional techniques such as cartilage grafting, internal sutures, and bone shaving can be used during nose surgery. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE NOSE SURGERY?

With rhinoplasty, patients can shape their noses as they have always desired. By employing the right technique and approach, this surgery enhances the nose’s appearance and ensures it is more proportional to other facial features. The procedure can reduce the bridge or tip of the nose, reshape the nostrils, or adjust the nose’s overall contour—whether making it flatter if it appears too pointed or augmenting it if it looks flat. Even subtle changes can create dramatic and beautiful enhancements in a patient’s appearance.

    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    • WHAT DOES RHINOPLASTY SURGERY INVOLVE?

      Before scheduling your consultation, it’s essential to understand how rhinoplasty Dubai specialists, like those at Lucia Clinic, approach the procedure. The surgeon asks the patient about his/her previous medical history including nasal obstructions and medications he/she takes. If the patient suffers from bleeding disorders, he/she might not be a good candidate for this surgery.

      The surgeon also examines the patient’s nose, from the inside and outside and determines what changes can be done to the nose. The surgeon also checks other facial features such as skin thickness and how strong is the cartilage at the end of the patient’s nose. During the examinations, the surgeon determines how nose surgery will affect the patient’s breathing.

      Finally, the patient talks about his/her goals and expectations from the surgery. The surgeon takes all the patient’s desires into consideration and creates a customized treatment plan that will bring the best possible results.

    • HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE NOSE SURGERY?

      After scheduling your rhinoplasty Dubai procedure, you will meet with the anesthesiologist to decide whether general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is appropriate for your case. This decision depends on the complexity of your surgery and will be made in consultation with nose job Dubai specialists to ensure safety and comfort.

      Before the surgery, the patient should avoid medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks. This way, the patient can prevent excessive bleeding during and after the surgery. The patient should also avoid herbal supplements and stop smoking.

      Finally, the patient should arrange for someone to drive him/her home after the surgery and stay with him/her for at least 24 hours. This way the patient can rest and speed up the recovery.

    • WHAT TO EXPECT DURING NOSE SURGERY?

      Each rhinoplasty procedure is different and customized for the specific facial anatomy and the goals the patient wishes to achieve with it.

      If you're undergoing revision surgery, the rhinoplasty Dubai surgeon may need to source cartilage from other areas of the body, such as the ear, to correct previous issues. After all necessary adjustments are made, absorbable stitches are placed inside the nostrils, ensuring minimal visible scarring. For additional protection, nose job Dubai specialists often use silicone splints to aid in recovery.

      Once the changes have been made according to the treatment plan, the surgeon places absorbable stitches inside the patient’s nostrils and stitches the incisions at the base of the patient’s nose. The stitches are removed after a week. The surgeon can also place soft silicone splints in the patient’s nose which are removed during the recovery period. The patient can also wear a rigid splint on the back of his/her nose to additionally protect it.

      The patient may leave the hospital and go home soon after the surgery unless advised otherwise.

    • WHAT SIDE EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED AFTER THE NOSE SURGERY?

      The most common side effect after nose surgery is bruising. It can appear around the nose and extend under the eyes. Bruising is a natural response during healing and gradually disappears. It can vary in extent according to the patient’s tendency to bruise, the severity of the surgery and the surgeon's expertise.

      There is no rule on how long the bruising lasts after the nose surgery but there is a general timeline:

      On the first day after the surgery, the patient starts to notice bruising. The bruises are red because of oxygen present in the blood. The full bruising develops the next day because it takes some time for the blood from incisions to lose oxygen and then change its color. Then the bruises become dark, purple or black.

      After 5 days, bruising starts to fade away. The bruises look less purple and more greenish. They continue to lose color.

      After a week to 10 days, the bruises are less visible and become yellow in color.

      After 2 to 3 weeks, the bruising should completely fade away. But this solely depends on the patient and how fast his/her body heals.


      Other visible side effects include swelling. Most of the swelling resolves after a couple of weeks post-surgery, but some minor swelling may last for 6 to 12 months.

      After all the swelling has resolved the patient can see the full results of the nose surgery.

      The patient also experiences nasal congestion and stuffiness which makes it difficult to breathe through the nose. This happens because of the swelling which restricts the nasal passages. It’s important not to blow the nose at this point because blowing can damage nasal structures and compromise the final outcomes. To relieve the feeling of congestion, the patient can use a saline spray. The possibility of breathing more comfortably through the nose returns after a week or two, but some patients can feel congestion for a couple of months.

    • HOW LONG IS THE DOWNTIME AFTER THE NOSE SURGERY?

      Usually, it lasts for one week. The patient should take time off work and rest. After that, he/she can resume all everyday activities and return to work. All the left bruising can be concealed with makeup at this moment.

    • WHAT ARE SOME ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FASTER RECOVERY?

      The patient should follow all the recommendations of the surgeon in order to heal and recover faster. Some of the recommendations include:

      - The patient shouldn’t touch his/her nose. It’s very important not to put pressure on the nose, touching included, for minimally 1 to 2 weeks post-surgery.

      - The patient shouldn’t wear glasses, because even light pressure can harm the nasal tissue. Glasses can be worn after 2 to 3 weeks.

      - The patient should sleep on his/her back with the head slightly elevated for 1 to 2 weeks in order to heal faster.

      - Strenuous activities should be avoided as well as hot showers. While the patient is wearing bandages on his/her nose, he/she should take baths instead.

      - If the patient is exposed to the sun, he/she should use high SPF, especially on the nose, because the sun can cause irregular discoloration on the skin of the nose.

      - The patient should avoid pulling clothes like shirts or jumpers over the head but wear clothes that fasten in the front instead.
