Rhinoplasty at Emirates European Hospital, Sharjah
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure to alter the shape or function of the nose. At Emirates European Hospital in Sharjah, we strive to provide clarity and confidence to those considering this transformative procedure. Here, we address some of the most frequently asked questions:
What is Rhinoplasty?
At its core, rhinoplasty is a surgical intervention designed to modify the nose’s aesthetics or enhance its functional capabilities, potentially addressing both cosmetic concerns and breathing difficulties.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Those who are displeased with the current appearance of their nose or have breathing challenges might be perfect candidates. Good health, realistic expectations, and fully matured facial features are also important factors.
Understanding Different Rhinoplasty Techniques
Rhinoplasty can be performed using several methods, including open rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty, and non-surgical filler rhinoplasty. Each technique offers unique benefits, depending on individual needs and goals.
Preparation for Rhinoplasty Surgery
Effective preparation involves a series of steps, such as detailed consultations, avoiding specific medications, quitting smoking, and ensuring post-surgical support is in place.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery is an essential phase and includes rest, managing bruising and swelling, and refraining from strenuous activities. While initial recovery can take a few weeks, subtle changes may continue for up to a year.
Assessing Risks and Complications
As with any surgery, rhinoplasty involves risks such as bleeding, infection, and anesthesia reactions. Potential specific complications include nasal asymmetry, dissatisfaction with results, or persistent breathing difficulties.
Longevity of Rhinoplasty Results
Generally, rhinoplasty results are long-lasting, although the natural aging process or accidental injury could alter the nose’s appearance over time.
Will There Be Scars After the Procedure?
In procedures using the open rhinoplasty technique, minimal scarring might occur but typically becomes inconspicuous over time. Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, avoids external cuts, leaving no visible scars.
Understanding the Cost of Rhinoplasty
The financial investment in rhinoplasty varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s expertise, and associated hospital fees.
Insurance Coverage for Rhinoplasty
While cosmetic rhinoplasty is usually not covered by insurance, procedures performed for functional reasons, such as resolving breathing issues, may qualify for insurance coverage.
