Rhinoplasty Dubai

There are three types of Rhinoplasty procedures – closed rhinoplasty, open rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty.

Open rhinoplasty is made with small incisions inside the nose as well as across the columella between the nostrils. In this matter, the nose is completely “unveiled.” This gives Dr. Bashar Bizrah full access to the nasal structure of the nose. This procedure is best suited for patients who require major changes to the nose.

Closed rhinoplasty is made with small incisions inside the nostrils. This technique has limited to null scarring but gives Dr. Bashar a more limited access to the nasal structure. This procedure is best suited for patients requiring small changes to the nose or what we call now a “finesse” rhinoplasty. Dr. Bizrah is a pioneer of this technique, having done more than 39,000 rhinoplasty procedures, many of them being closed rhinoplasties.

Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure done around a year after the initial rhinoplasty in case there were any issues arising from the initial procedure. Rhinoplasty is a very challenging and complex procedure so many reasons can arise whether aesthetic or functional. Dr. Bashar has performed many revision rhinoplasties where the initial procedure was done elsewhere but didn’t achieve the required look the patient wanted.

When looking for the best rhinoplasty result and best nose surgeon in Dubai, it is essential to find one that is highly experienced and skilled.

Consultation

The first step of rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery is having an honest, transparent, and detailed consultation with our surgeon.

Once you choose your rhinoplasty surgeon Dubai, a consultation should be scheduled in order to go over your aesthetic needs with your doctor. It is important to have a transparent and honest consultation between the patient and doctor in order to draw realistic expectations.

The Surgery

After the consultation and if you decide to undergo the procedure, you will book a date to schedule your operation with your nose surgeon Dubai.

The duration of the surgery and type of anaesthetic used during the surgery differs from patient to patient. Rhinoplasty is generally a straightforward procedure but like most surgeries, it also varies from case to case. Sometimes the surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, however, at Bizrahmed most nose surgeries are performed by Dr Bizrah under local anaesthesia with sedation. As a sophisticated procedure, it requires extreme care so that the structure and function of the nose are preserved. A thorough screening will be done with the patient before the nose surgery in Dubai or London. This includes pre-anaesthetic consultation and blood testing.

Post-op

After all the necessary blood work is done, you will be ready to undergo the rhinoplasty procedure. Depending on the severity of the case, a rhinoplasty can take up to 3 hours. However, if it is a small procedure, the surgery can be completed within 30 – 40 minutes.

Following the surgery, a small plaster/cast is applied which is normally removed after a week. Some bruising and discolouration is normal and usually fades away in ten weeks. It takes the nose approximately nine months to settle into its final shape. The patient should at least wait for ten days after the surgery to resume daily activities.

In most of the cases, the estimated recovery time is 6 weeks for the bones in the nose to heal completely. Activities like stretching, lifting or bending over can increase nasal swelling and may also increase the recovery time required.

Rhinoplasty can improve the look and feel of your nose if done rightly. Many medical issues can be corrected with this procedure like a broken nose, enlarged turbinate, deviated septum, middle vault narrowing, nasal polyps, sleep apnea, chronic infections, cleft palate, or lip. Closed rhinoplasty helps you avoid noticeable scarring, while septoplasty helps you correct all your breathing issues and deviated septum helps you to get a corrected nose with a better flow of oxygen.

Ideally, with full parental consent, girls can get a rhinoplasty as early as 17 years of age, while boys should be at least 18. A rhinoplasty or nose job procedure is suitable for anyone above the age of 18 once they have completed adult growth.

There might be mild discomfort the first few days after surgery, however, most people describe rhinoplasty as virtually pain-free.

A day after surgery, most people rate their pain 0-4 out of 10. There might be mild discomfort following that, however mild painkillers can be prescribed to help ease the discomfort.

Overall, Rhinoplasty in Dubai is an easy and pleasant experience if the right nose surgeon is chosen.
