Rhinoplasty

Overview of Rhinoplasty:

A beautiful and harmonious nose that complements facial features is considered one of the components of beauty sought by many individuals, which has made rhinoplasty a popular procedure in our current era.


Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to modify the shape of the nose with the aim of improving its appearance for individuals dissatisfied with the size or shape of their noses. It is also a common option for patients experiencing deformities or problems related to the nose that affect their ability to breathe or sleep.

How is it performed?
This procedure is performed by a specialized and experienced surgeon who corrects nasal deformities. This often involves removing or reshaping bone or cartilage to suit the patient's condition.

Why is it performed?
Rhinoplasty aims to correct any congenital defects affecting the nose's shape or size, deformities resulting from injury, or to address breathing problems.

Is rhinoplasty suitable for all age groups?
Rhinoplasty can be performed for most age groups, including healthy individuals over the age of 18 who experience breathing difficulties or other unwanted problems.

Procedure for Rhinoplasty
Dr. Mutaz Al-Shakhanbah begins by taking the patient's medical history and conducting the necessary examinations and imaging to ensure the success of the procedure and to ensure that their health condition allows for it.

He also discusses how the nose will appear after the procedure, including pre-operative instructions to discontinue certain medications to avoid any complications during or after the surgery.

This procedure is often performed under general anesthesia and involves making surgical incisions to separate the skin from the nasal bone and cartilage. The surgeon then reshapes them in several ways, depending on the amount that needs to be removed or added and the nose's structure.

If the doctor finds that the patient has a deviated septum, he may also correct this issue at the same time.
