Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) in Abu Dhabi
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to bring it into harmony with your other features. It can refine a bump, narrow or shorten the nose, lift a drooping tip or correct asymmetry — and, when combined with septoplasty, improve breathing.
At Cherie Clinic, the goal is a nose that suits your face and looks natural from every angle, not a one-size-fits-all shape.
Who Is It For?
- A dorsal hump or bump on the bridge
- A wide, long or crooked nose
- A drooping or bulbous tip
- Breathing problems from a deviated septum
- An unsatisfactory result from previous surgery (revision rhinoplasty)
Your Options
- Open or closed rhinoplasty: Your surgeon chooses the approach based on the changes needed; closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scar.
- Septorhinoplasty: Combines cosmetic reshaping with correction of the septum to improve airflow.
- Revision rhinoplasty: Corrects or refines a previous nose surgery, usually at least 12 months after the first operation.
Your Journey
- Consultation: A private assessment with a DoH-licensed plastic surgeon to understand your goals, review your health and agree a personalised plan.
- Procedure: Performed with precise techniques that put your safety and a natural-looking result first.
- Aftercare: A personalised recovery plan and scheduled follow-ups until your final result.
Recovery
- A nasal splint for about one week
- Bruising and swelling around the eyes for 1–2 weeks
- Return to work or study after about 2 weeks
- Final shape refines over 6–12 months as swelling settles
Prefer a non-surgical option?
Small refinements such as lifting the tip can sometimes be achieved with Nose Botox.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose — refining its size, profile, tip or symmetry — and it can be combined with septoplasty to improve breathing. It’s performed under general anaesthesia.
Q2. How long is rhinoplasty recovery?
Most women wear a splint for about a week and return to work after around two weeks. Swelling settles gradually, with the final shape visible after 6–12 months.
Q3. Can rhinoplasty make my nose smaller?
Yes. Nose reduction can lower a hump, narrow the bridge or nostrils and refine the tip, always in proportion with your face.
Q4. Surgical or non-surgical rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical options can camouflage a small bump or lift the tip temporarily, but they can’t reduce size or correct breathing. Surgery gives permanent structural change; your surgeon will explain which suits your goals.
Q5. Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems?
When breathing is affected by a deviated septum, septorhinoplasty corrects the internal structure while reshaping the outside of the nose in the same operation.
