What is Septorhinoplasty? Combining Cosmetic and Functional Nose Surgery in Dubai
Septorhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure that combines septoplasty (to improve nasal breathing) and rhinoplasty (to refine the nose’s shape). It offers both functional and aesthetic benefits, helping patients breathe better while achieving a more balanced, natural-looking nose.
This dual-purpose surgery is ideal for individuals who suffer from nasal blockage, deviated septum, or breathing difficulties, and who also wish to enhance the appearance of their nose—all in one procedure.
Understanding Septorhinoplasty
- Septoplasty: Corrects a deviated septum, a condition where the nasal partition is displaced, causing obstruction and breathing problems. Learn more about how septoplasty differs from cosmetic procedures in our article Septoplasty vs. Rhinoplasty: Understanding the Differences for Better Nasal Health.
- Rhinoplasty: Focuses on improving the shape, projection, or symmetry of the nose for enhanced facial harmony.
By combining these two procedures, septorhinoplasty ensures that the nose not only looks better but functions better as well.
Who is a Candidate for Septorhinoplasty?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils.
- Suffer from nasal obstruction, snoring, or sinus infections.
- Have a crooked or asymmetrical nose caused by trauma or genetics.
- Wish to refine the size, shape, or angle of your nose while correcting structural issues.
- Seek to improve both function and appearance in one surgery.
Benefits of Septorhinoplasty
✅ Improved nasal breathing and airflow
✅ Relief from congestion and sinus discomfort
✅ Enhanced nose shape and facial balance
✅ Correction of post-trauma nasal deformities
✅ Boosted self-confidence and comfort
✅ Combined surgery — no need for separate procedures
The Septorhinoplasty Procedure & Recovery
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts 3 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity. During the procedure, your surgeon will:
- Straighten the nasal septum to open the airway.
- Reshape the nasal structure for aesthetic improvement.
- Ensure balanced function and natural appearance of the nose.
Recovery Timeline:
- First 1–2 weeks: Expect swelling, bruising, and mild nasal congestion.
- 3–4 weeks: Most patients can return to normal activities.
- 3–6 months: Nose refines gradually.
- 6–12 months: Final results are visible once swelling fully subsides.
