How Often Should You Follow Up After Rhinoplasty? Expert Advice from Dubai’s Best ENT Clinic | Dr. Hatem Dalati
Rhinoplasty recovery doesn’t end once the surgery is over. In fact, the follow-up period is just as important as the procedure itself. Knowing how often to return to your surgeon for check-ups can make the difference between a smooth recovery and unexpected complications.
At the ENT Clinic of Excellence, Dubai, under the expert care of Dr. Hatem Dalati, DHA-Licensed ENT Consultant and Rhinoplasty Surgeon, we prioritize not just your surgical outcome but your entire recovery journey. Comprehensive follow-up care is key to ensuring safe healing and long-term success.
🕒 So, How Often Should You Follow Up After Rhinoplasty?
Here’s the expert-recommended schedule followed at our clinic:
✅ 1st Follow-Up: 7 Days After Surgery
This visit includes:
- Removal of the nasal splint
- Initial internal and external healing assessment
- Checking for early signs of swelling or bruising complications
- Patient guidance on cleaning and care
✅ Weekly Visits: Weeks 2 to 4
These weekly check-ups help:
- Monitor ongoing swelling and scar tissue
- Address any breathing concerns
- Guide the patient on taping, massaging, or restrictions
- Ensure symmetry and natural healing
✅ Monthly Visits: From Month 2 Onwards
As the nose continues to heal internally, monthly follow-ups help:
- Monitor subtle changes in nasal structure
- Prevent internal scar buildup
- Provide cosmetic assessment and breathing evaluations
- Ensure long-term satisfaction and stability of results
💡 Why Consistent Follow-Ups Matter
Even if your nose looks fine on the outside, internal healing continues for months. Missing scheduled visits could lead to:
❌ Missed complications like internal scarring
❌ Delayed treatment of aesthetic concerns
❌ Breathing problems going unnoticed
❌ Suboptimal long-term results
Dr. Hatem Dalati and our team at Dubai’s best ENT clinic prioritize long-term outcomes — not just the short-term results. Follow-ups help you get the best version of your new nose.
