Rhinoplasty (Nose job)

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is commonly called a nose job and is a plastic surgery procedure that changes the shape of the nose or improves its function. Rhinoplasty may be performed for aesthetic reasons, or it could be done for medical reasons, such as to correct breathing problems, or correct disfigurement due to trauma, or birth defects.

Why is Rhinoplasty or Nose Job Done?

Rhinoplasty is often called a nose job. Reshaping a nose that appears big for your face, straightening a bump on the bridge of your nose or a crooked nose is the job of a rhinoplasty surgeon.  Rhinoplasty helps in the correction of deformities from an injury, altering of a birth defect or improvement in breathing problems. 

Risk Factors of Rhinoplasty (Nose job)

Rhinoplasty carries the same potential risks as other types of plastic surgery. Firstly, choosing a qualified cosmetic surgeon can greatly reduce the health risks associated with rhinoplasty.

The potential risks are bleeding from the nose, numbness, scarring, bursting of capillaries, swelling, permanent nerve damage and over or under correction requiring revision rhinoplasty.

Since this surgery requires extensive alterations of nasal bone and cartilage, people who have a breathing problem may experience pain or discomfort and should consult their specialist to seek proper advice.

When you consult a plastic surgeon at Medcare in Dubai & Sharjah, the goals of the rhinoplasty procedure will be drawn up.

Rhinoplasty changes the shape of your nose so it is important that this should be in line with your other facial features. A rhinoplasty procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia. A small incision is made at the base of your nose, between your nostrils. Then the hinoplasty surgeon makes adjustments to the bone and cartilage underneath your skin. 

It may involve reshaping the tip and reducing the bony bump on the bridge of your nose. To improve your breathing, the surgeon can correct a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty is a difficult operation especially because the changes are quite small. However, these really transform the way you look and feel.
