Top 7 Most Challenging Rhinoplasty Cases and Why 👃
7 of the Most Challenging Rhinoplasty Cases – and How We Fix Them
Rhinoplasty—or nose reshaping surgery—is one of the most rewarding but technically demanding cosmetic procedures. While many people seek subtle improvements, others require advanced corrections to restore both function and facial balance.
At the ENT Clinic of Excellence in Dubai, we specialize in both primary and revision rhinoplasty, handling even the most complex cases with precision and care.
Let’s explore the top 7 most difficult rhinoplasty scenarios and how Dr. Hatem Dalati—Dubai’s trusted rhinoplasty consultant—addresses each one.
1️⃣ Crooked Nose & Deviated Septum
A visibly crooked nose often reflects deeper issues like a twisted septum, affecting both appearance and breathing.
🔍 Challenges:
- Misaligned nasal bones
- Obstructed nasal airflow
🔧 Our Approach:
We perform septorhinoplasty, correcting both the outer structure and internal septum using precise measurements and endoscopic planning.

2️⃣ Revision Rhinoplasty (Secondary Nose Job)
Patients unhappy with a previous surgery often face problems like scar tissue, collapsed bridges, or persistent asymmetry.
🔍 Challenges:
- Distorted anatomy
- Limited cartilage for support
- Emotional stress from past experience
🔧 Our Approach:
We use cartilage grafts (from the septum, ear, or rib) and advanced reconstructive techniques to restore structure, form, and confidence.

3️⃣ Thick Skin & Bulbous Nasal Tip
A bulky nasal tip is common in patients with thick skin, especially in Middle Eastern rhinoplasty cases.
🔍 Challenges:
- Tip definition is harder to achieve
- Results take longer to fully appear
🔧 Our Approach:
Dr. Hatem Dalati uses precise tip refinement techniques under the skin, coupled with expectation management and long-term follow-up.

4️⃣ Saddle Nose Deformity (Over-Resected Nose)
An overdone rhinoplasty can result in a collapsed nasal bridge or saddle-shaped deformity.
🔍 Challenges:
- Loss of structure
- Poor support
- Nasal collapse over time
🔧 Our Approach:
We reconstruct the nasal bridge using rib or septal cartilage, restoring both shape and breathing function.

5️⃣ Post-Traumatic Nasal Deformities
Injuries from accidents, sports, or fights can damage nasal bones and cartilage, leaving crooked, flattened, or asymmetrical noses.
🔍 Challenges:
- Each trauma case is unique
- May involve functional and cosmetic repair
🔧 Our Approach:
We provide customized surgical plans, often combining closed and open rhinoplasty techniques to achieve symmetry and restore confidence.

6️⃣ Cleft Lip–Related Nasal Deformities
Patients with a history of cleft lip or palate often have severe asymmetry, missing cartilage, or weak nasal structure.
🔍 Challenges:
- Complex anatomy
- Requires multi-layered reconstruction
🔧 Our Approach:
We use advanced grafting and flap techniques, often in coordination with facial plastic surgeons, to deliver natural, functional results.

7️⃣ Ethnic Rhinoplasty – With Identity Preservation
For many patients from Middle Eastern, African, or Asian backgrounds, rhinoplasty is about enhancement, not erasing identity.
🔍 Challenges:
- Unique nasal shapes and skin types
- Risk of overcorrection or loss of ethnicity
🔧 Our Approach:
We use customized techniques to refine the nose while preserving cultural and anatomical features—for results that are respectful, elegant, and natural.
