Rhinoplasty
It's Time to take The step
Improving our appearance can have a positive and amazing effect on how we feel, see ourselves and on how we deal with others in our daily life. Even though nowadays rhinoplasty has become extremely popular, yet the decision to have something done to your face is still a difficult decision for some people. I can totally understand those mixed emotions of the patients when taking such a decision as I’ve lived this experience hundreds of times during my journey with my Rhinoplasty patients. Yes, I do believe that fear, anxiety, excitement, worries, happiness and expectations of how the patient would look after the surgery makes it a journey for both the patient and the surgeon. Choosing the right surgeon for your nose surgery is the most important station for the success of your journey.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, which corrects problems of an aesthetic and/or functional nature following a primary rhinoplasty surgery. Patients may be unhappy with the way their nose looks, or have functional nasal problems despite having had a nose job done.
Revision rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure than primary nose surgery requiring a surgeon with extensive experience in this complex type of surgery and having both the technical and artistic skills.
In revision rhinoplasty surgery, the normal anatomy has been altered, cartilage removed, normal tissue replaced with extensive fibrous tissue and breathing maybe compromised.In revision rhinoplasty cases with extensive damage for the nasal anatomy, the nose has to be built again. The septal cartilage is almost always the ideal cartilage to rebuild the nose, however, ear or rib cartilage may be used in many cases of septal cartilage depletion from the previous surgery. Many patients with unsatisfactory outcomes from a previous unsuccessful surgery may rush for a revision surgery. It’s unwise to have a revision surgery in a time less than a year from the previous surgery. A year is a reasonable time to allow the tissues to settle, and all the inflammation, swelling and wound remodeling to resolve.
Middle Eastern Rhinoplasty
“Middle Eastern” often refers to individuals of Arabic, Turkish, North African and Persian descent. Patients with ‘’ Middle Eastern’’ descent may present with a heavy thick skin envelope, bulbous tip, weak alar cartilages with limited support, nostril-tip imbalance and a droopy ill-defined nasal tip. The operative plan must take into account this vast majority of Middle Eastern nasal inherited features that possesses an added challenge for the surgeon. Independent of the surgeon’s technical approach, understanding the concerns, goals and motivations for such patients who tends to be ” perfectionists” together with preservation of the patient’s ethnic identity will lead to a successful rhinoplasty surgery.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Septoplasty /Turbinate Surgery / Nasal Valve Surgery.
My background experience as Otorhinolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, Throat) allows me to address and correct functional issues of the nose. In many cases of rhinoplasty, the main purpose of surgery is functional. A variety of conditions may cause the sensation of ‘Nasal blockage’ including a deviated nasal septum, enlarged turbinates, external nasal valve collapse and narrowing of the internal nasal valve.
