What is rhinoplasty?
Commonly known as nose job, rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery that aims to change the shape and size of your nose. Primarily done for aesthetic reasons, rhinoplasty can also have reconstructive results by reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage to fix respiratory issues.
What does rhinoplasty do?
On its own, rhinoplasty surgery improves appearance-related issues of the nose. Some of the more common concerns and irregularities of the patients, which our doctors address with rhinoplasty, are:
- Nose bridge dips and bumps
- Asymmetry
- Bulbous nose tip (Sticking out or large tip)
- Nostrils that are too wide, too small, too big, or pointing up
- Blocked nasal passages
- Disproportionate nose sizes (noses that are too large or small compared to other facial features)
The types of rhinoplasty we offer
At Beaute Concept by CSHP, you can find a wide range of services of rhinoplasty in Dubai, and choose the correct procedure for you based on your needs and the recommendations of our certified surgeons. The right procedure will depend on your nose structure and desired results.
Primary rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and size of your nose overall, making it smaller, more symmetrical, and more elevated, depending on your needs. Our surgeons perform the procedure by making incisions and restructuring the bones and cartilage through them.
Secondary rhinoplasty
If you already had a rhinoplasty before but that surgery did not give you the outcome you expected, you can opt for secondary rhinoplasty to correct any issues you may have. We offer two types of secondary rhinoplasty, without and with rib grafting. If extensive structural support is necessary to rebuild the nasal structure, the doctors may grab rib cartilage.
Ethnic rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a surgery, which aims to enhance the look and shape of your nose while paying attention and maintaining the distinct features of your ethnicity and racial background. The performance of ethnic rhinoplasty procedures varies greatly based on your background, but they all aim to result in a structure that is in harmony with the rest of your facial features.
Nose tip Lift
Dank nose tip rhinoplasty, or simply tip rhinoplasty, lifts and reshapes only the nose tip. In this procedure, the surgeon does not touch the bony structure of your nose. A droopy tip needs lifting by changing the angle between the upper lip and your nose. Round and large tips, on the other hand, need some corrections in the cartilage.
How to prepare for rhinoplasty?
Before deciding to have a nose job, it is important to have a doctor’s consultation and full medical check. Your healthcare provider recommends the proper procedure based on your nose and facial structure. The surgery, on the other hand, requires good health. In order to have a safe experience, a proper examination and medical history check is necessary. Follow the steps below to create the ideal nose shape:
- Consult with your surgeon
- Share your aesthetic or functional concerns with your doctor
- Provide a complete medical history for the doctor’s review
- Stop using blood thinners such as aspirin two weeks before the surgery
- Make sure to undergo the physical exams required by your healthcare provider
- Have complete examinations of your nose (inside and outside)
FAQ
How long does it take to recover from a nose job?
Rhinoplasty healing time often varies based on personal factors, but on average you can expect your nose to be swollen for about 4-6 weeks, possibly with bruises or skin color changes around the nose. The swelling will be around 90% gone over a period of three times, with some minor swelling taking up around a year to subside. The final results of the surgery will be visible a year after it was completed, but you can see the initial results three months after the surgery. To speed up the recovery, it's essential to follow your surgeon's instructions and attend follow-up appointments.
What is the best age for rhinoplasty?
While there is no single best age for rhinoplasty, it’s recommended to perform nasal surgery once the patient has reached at least 16-17 years of age. By this time, the nasal bones and cartilages will have completed the growing and development stage. We also recommend you to discuss this during the consultation with your doctor to ensure your safety.
Can the nose continue to grow after rhinoplasty?
Nose growth typically stops in the teenage years and early adulthood. However, you may notice changes in your nose due to the natural aging process. These changes may involve gradual loss of skin elasticity and minor cartilage growth. The process can give the impression of nose growth, while these changes are simply typical of aging in general.
How long does a nose job take?
A nose plastic surgery can take between 1-3 hours, depending on its type and complexity. The procedure is usually outpatient and you won’t have to spend the night at the hospital.
How long does it take to recover from a nose job?
It usually takes 7-10 days to resume activities that are not physically demanding and considered light. Swelling, bruises, and soreness are typical side effects of nose operation that are visible during the first week after the surgery. After 4-6 weeks, you can gradually return to normal daily activities. The full recovery process might take a year, and the final results will be visible after all the swelling is gone.
