Rhinoplasty In Dubai
Rhinoplasty refers to the surgery of the nose. This procedure aims to modify the shape of the nasal pyramid (either partially or completely) and can also if necessary correct nasal breathing problems.
A rhinoplasty can be carried out alone or in association with other facial surgery such as a genioplasty (surgery of the chin). This can be done at the same time to modify the facial profile. The aim is to improve the aspect of the nose. The problems present can be congenital, caused by an accident, or due to aging. The result should be a nose in harmony with the facial features, and which corresponds to the personality and expectations of the patient.

Overview
The technique uses incisions hidden inside the nostrils and remodels the bone and cartilage which give each nose its distinctive shape. The skin covering these elements will be re-draped and will adapt to the new nose. This point shows the importance of the quality of the skin for the final result which is obtained with no visible scar.
When a nasal obstruction impedes breathing it will be treated during the operation. This can be due to a deviated septum (the nasal partition) or hypertrophy of the nasal concha (bony structures inside the nasal cavity).
This procedure carried out both for men and women, can be done from the age of 16, when growth is complete.

Before the operation
Prior to the operation a thorough examination of the nasal pyramid and its harmony with the other features of the face will have been carried with an endo-nasal examination.
A simulation of the desired result can be done using photos and computer software. The virtual image obtained should be considered as a guide to help understand the wishes and expectations of the patient. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the final result may be slightly different and not an exact copy.
A preoperative check-up will be carried out as prescribed.
No aspirin-based medication should be taken during the 10 days preceding the operation.
For certain types of anaesthesia you must fast (neither eat nor drink) for eight hours before the operation.
Hospital stay and type of anesthesia
Type of anesthesia: This operation is usually performed under general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist will see you in consultation at the latest 48 hours before the operation.
Hospital stay: Rhinoplasty is usually carried out on an out-patient basis – the patient leaves on the same day after some hours of medical supervision. However, in some cases a short hospital stay can be preferable. The patient arrives in the morning (or sometimes the previous evening) and is discharged the following morning, or the following day.
The procedure
Techniques are adapted in order to obtain the best results in each case. We can however give some basic points:
The operation can take between 2 and 3 hours depending on the specific requirements and complexity of the case.
The result
The result usually corresponds to the expectations of the patient and is fairly close to the initial project drawn up before surgery. The changes brought about by this operation are permanent. The only modifications which can occur are those which would have occurred in the normal aging process as for a nose without surgery.
Possible complications
A rhinoplasty, although essentially an aesthetic procedure, is nevertheless an operation, and this implies that the risks inherent to any surgery apply here. We must distinguish between risks related to the anesthesia and those related to the surgery. For the anesthesia, the risks will be explained by the anesthesiologist during the preoperative consultation. You must be aware that anesthesia can cause unpredictable reactions, which can be difficult to control: the presence of an experienced anesthesiologist, in a surgical context, means that the risks are statistically practically negligible.
My Way …. “Metron Ariston”
The nose plays a crucial role in creating facial balance. Changing the nose can actually make the entire face look more symmetrical and proportional.
Although the Golden Ratio plays an important role in aesthetic surgery, ethnicity, and individuality are the most important determinants in order to get functional, balanced and natural results.
It is thus outstanding surgical skill, in conjunction with expert knowledge of an experienced plastic surgeon, that can determine the right nose shape for a specific facial structure & size, taking into account ethnicity, gender and cultural aesthetic perceptions. This will require the customization of techniques in each individual face to deliver an aesthetically perfect result.
