Rhinoplasty for Nasal Deformities & Fractures in Dubai | Restoring Nose Shape & Breathing Function
Nasal deformities and fractures are more than cosmetic concerns — they can interfere with breathing, sleep quality, sinus health, and overall confidence. At the ENT Clinic of Excellence in Dubai, our ENT Consultant and Rhinoplasty Surgeon, Dr. Hatem Dalati, provides advanced solutions that correct both external deformities and internal structural problems, ensuring natural results and optimal airflow.
Whether your nasal issue is congenital, caused by trauma, or the result of a previous surgery, a personalized rhinoplasty plan can restore form, function, and facial balance.
What Are Nasal Deformities?
A nasal deformity refers to any structural or visible irregularity of the nose that affects its shape, function, or both. These deformities may be:
- Congenital (present from birth)
- Post-traumatic (after injury or fracture)
- Post-surgical (due to previous rhinoplasty or septal surgery)
- Inflammatory or medical-related
Both internal and external nasal deformities can cause:
- Difficulty breathing
- Snoring or sleep apnea
- Chronic nasal congestion
- Sinus infections
- Reduced confidence or dissatisfaction with appearance
At our clinic, we diagnose and treat a wide range of nasal deformities using advanced tools such as nasal endoscopy and CT imaging.
Common Causes of Nasal Deformities
1. Trauma or Nasal Fractures
Accidents, falls, sports injuries, or physical impact can break or displace nasal bones and cartilage. Untreated fractures often heal incorrectly, causing:
- Crooked nose
- Dorsal hump formation
- Nasal collapse
- Persistent breathing issues
2. Deviated Septum
A bent or off-center septum blocks airflow and leads to:
- Nasal congestion
- Snoring
- Mouth breathing
- Sinus infections
3. Previous Surgery Complications
Outdated or poorly performed rhinoplasty can result in:
- Asymmetry
- Nasal valve collapse
- Breathing obstruction
4. Congenital Structural Issues
Some patients are born with irregularities such as:
- Narrow nasal valves
- Asymmetrical nostrils
- Weak cartilage structures
These often worsen over time and may cause chronic nasal obstruction.
Types of Nasal Deformities We Treat
1. Deviated Septum
Leads to obstruction, sinus pressure, snoring, and poor airflow.
Treatment: Septoplasty for deviated septum correction.
2. Crooked Nose
Often caused by trauma or septal deviation affecting both appearance and breathing.
3. Saddle Nose Deformity
A sunken bridge due to cartilage loss after trauma, infection, or previous surgery.
Treatment: Reconstructive rhinoplasty using cartilage grafts.
4. Nasal Valve Collapse
One of the most common causes of persistent nasal blockage – often overlooked.
Treatment: Nasal valve repair or cartilage grafting.
5. Nostril Asymmetry
Can affect breathing, aesthetics, and nasal airflow. Read more in our guide: Can Rhinoplasty Fix Asymmetrical Nostrils in Dubai?
6. Bulbous or Drooping Tip
Often corrected through tip refinement rhinoplasty.
Nasal Fractures & Rhinoplasty: How Injuries Affect the Nose
A nasal fracture is one of the most common facial injuries and occurs when nasal bones or cartilage break due to trauma. Symptoms include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Nosebleeds
- Crooked or flattened appearance
- Difficulty breathing
Is a Nasal Fracture the Same as a Nasal Deformity?
Not exactly — but they are strongly connected.
- Nasal fracture: A break in nasal bones/cartilage.
- Nasal deformity: A visible or structural irregularity.
When a fracture heals incorrectly, it becomes a nasal deformity, often requiring rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty to correct.
How Rhinoplasty Corrects Nasal Deformities & Fractures
Rhinoplasty for deformities and fractures involves reshaping both the external structure and the internal airway. Treatment may include:
1. Functional Rhinoplasty
Improves breathing by correcting:
- Septal deviation
- Valve collapse
- Internal obstructions
- Trauma-related narrowing
2. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Refines the shape of the nose for facial harmony while preserving natural features.
3. Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Repairs severe deformities after fractures, injuries, or failed surgeries using:
- Cartilage grafts
- Structural support techniques
- Bridge and tip reconstruction
4. Septorhinoplasty
A combined procedure to correct both:
- Deviated septum
- Cosmetic deformities
This offers the best long-term results for patients with breathing issues and visible nasal imbalance.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty for Nasal Deformities & Fractures
Patients often experience dramatic improvements, including:
Functional Benefits
- Easier breathing through both nostrils
- Reduced snoring
- Improved airflow and oxygenation
- Better sleep quality
Aesthetic Benefits
- Straighter, more symmetrical nose
- Restored nasal bridge and shape
- Natural, balanced appearance
Quality-of-Life Improvements
- Higher confidence
- Better physical performance due to improved breathing
- Enhanced social and professional interactions
When Should You Consult an ENT Specialist?
Seek medical evaluation if you experience:
- Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
- Chronic nasal congestion or sinus infections
- Snoring or sleep apnea symptoms
- A visibly crooked or injured nose
- Low confidence due to nasal shape
- Symptoms after a recent injury or old trauma

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How soon after a nasal fracture can I have rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is usually recommended 3–6 months post-injury, once swelling has resolved and the nasal bones have stabilized.
2. Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems after a nose fracture?
Yes. Functional rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty can correct internal deviations, valve collapse, or cartilage displacement to restore proper airflow.
3. Can rhinoplasty completely fix a fractured nose?
In most cases, yes.
Rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty can correct both the external deformity and internal breathing issues, restoring a natural shape and improved function.
