Aesthetic rhinoplasty is one of the most requested cosmetic surgery procedures, and this proedure must be performed by a surgeon specialized in rhinoplasty. Even if the planned rhinoplasty is purely aesthetic (reducing a bump, refining the tip, etc.), it can affect breathing if the procedure is poorly performed. Dr. Lyor Hanan is a rhinoplasty specialist in Dubaï. He particularly focuses on achieving natural results that harmonize with the rest of the patient’s face, without making it obvious to others that surgery has been performed.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty is nose surgery that aims to permanently improve certain aesthetic imperfections of the nose.
It may or may not be combined with septoplasty to improve breathing during the same operation.
It allows for:
Patients who can benefit from aesthetic rhinoplasty are those who:
Dr. Lyor Hanan, after a thorough examination of your nose from both aesthetic and breathing perspectives, will guide you on the possibilities of improving certain aspects of your nose through rhinoplasty.
During aesthetic rhinoplasty, the nasal tip is an important component to reshape, often requiring refinement and slight elevation.
Hump correction is common in rhinoplasty, however it must be done precisely to avoid over-reducing the nose.
Correcting a deviated nose is one of the most difficult procedures in rhinoplasty since the tissues (bone, skin, and muscles) have a memory of the deviation that can lead to recurrence.
Reduction rhinoplasty aims to reduce a nose that is too large or too wide to make it more harmonious with the rest of the face. This is the most commonly performed type of rhinoplasty.
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specific type of rhinoplasty aimed at augmenting the nose and refining the tip. It often includes nostril reduction. This type of rhinoplasty is often indicated for patients of African or Asian origin.
Rejuvenation rhinoplasty is performed on older patients, generally over 50 years old, as part of a face lift to harmonize overall facial rejuvenation.
Augmentation rhinoplasty is most often intended to give more character to a nose that is too flat and wide. This is often the case in ethnic rhinoplasty.
Before aesthetic rhinoplasty, you must:
You can breathe immediately after the procedure, as Dr. Lyor Hanan does not use nasal packing.
There will be bruising and swelling around the eyes for 7 days.
Post-operative swelling is most significant during the first 3 days after surgery, then decreases from the 5th day.
There is little to no pain, which can be relieved with paracetamol.
You may experience slight breathing discomfort in the first few days.
There may be light bleeding, which is normal and subsides within a few days.
Return to work is possible after a few days.
When an open approach is used, the sutures are dissolvable and will disappear on their own after 7-10 days.
The small scar fades quickly within a few weeks, becoming invisible after 3 months.
The price of aesthetic rhinoplasty ranges between 30 000 and 40 000 AED.
