What Is Rhinoplasty?

rhinoplasty by dr. dev roy

**Rhinoplasty**—often referred to as a “nose job”—is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, or structure of the nose. It can be done for cosmetic reasons (to enhance appearance) or functional ones (to improve breathing), or both. The surgery involves carefully reshaping the bone and cartilage beneath the nose, and sometimes adjusting the skin, to achieve a natural, balanced look. Whether the changes are subtle or significant, rhinoplasty can have a big impact on facial harmony and self-confidence.

Types of Rhinoplasty

There are different approaches and purposes for rhinoplasty:

**Cosmetic Rhinoplasty**: Focuses on improving the nose’s appearance to better fit with a person’s facial features.

**Functional Rhinoplasty**: Addresses structural problems that affect breathing, such as a deviated septum or nasal obstruction.

**Reconstructive Rhinoplasty**: Used after trauma, congenital issues, or previous surgeries to restore the nose’s shape and function.

**Revision Rhinoplasty**: Performed to correct or improve the results of an earlier rhinoplasty.

The procedure can be performed through either an **open** (with a small incision across the strip between the nostrils) or **closed** (all incisions inside the nostrils) approach.

Who Chooses Rhinoplasty?

People consider rhinoplasty for a range of reasons. Some want to change the way their nose looks—perhaps to remove a bump, straighten a crooked nose, refine the tip, or adjust the size of the nostrils. Others need surgery due to breathing difficulties, injuries, or deformities from birth. Both first-time and revision patients seek the expertise of skilled surgeons, especially in regions known for advanced medical care.

Why Is Rhinoplasty So Popular in Places Like Dubai?

Cities such as Dubai have gained a reputation as premier destinations for cosmetic surgery, including rhinoplasty, due to:

**World-class facilities and technology** that ensure safe, effective procedures.

**Experienced, board-certified surgeons** with expertise in both cosmetic and functional surgeries.

**Personalized care**, from initial consultation through full recovery.

**High standards of privacy and patient satisfaction**—especially important for those traveling for medical care.

**Comprehensive services**, where many clinics offer complementary treatments for overall facial rejuvenation, like eyelid surgery, laser treatments, and fillers.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from rhinoplasty involves some downtime—typically 1–2 weeks for the initial healing phase. Swelling and bruising lessen over time, with final results becoming visible as healing continues over several months. Following your surgeon’s guidance is essential for a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.

 Possible Risks

Like any surgery, rhinoplasty carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, or poor wound healing. There’s also a chance of asymmetry or breathing problems, and in some cases, additional surgery may be needed. That’s why choosing a qualified, experienced surgeon is so important.

Complementary Procedures

Many people combine rhinoplasty with other treatments—such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), skin resurfacing, or injectables—to achieve a more balanced, youthful look across the whole face.

Patients can easily receive complete care from one of the best Cosmetic surgeons in the area because Dr Dev Roy’s practice combines all these services under one roof.

Tonsil Surgery: Tonsillectomy

Tonsil Surgery: Tonsillectomy by Dr. Dev Roy

Q1: What are tonsils?

Tonsils are two glands found on each side of the throat that help protect the body from germs.

Q2: Does the child need their tonsils?

Your child can still fight off infections without tonsils. They are only removed if they start causing more problems than benefits.

Q3: Why would a doctor suggest removing of tonsils?

Tonsil removal surgery is suggested  if the child has frequent sore throats that cause them to miss school, or if the tonsils are so large they make it hard to breathe at night or cause problems during swallowing of food.  Sometimes, doctor will suggest removal of adenoids at the same time.

Q4: Is surgery always necessary?

Surgery isn’t always needed. Sometimes, it’s best to wait and see if the issue improves on its own, as many children outgrow tonsil problems. The doctor should explain why surgery is being considered in your child’s case

Q5: What should I do before the  child’s operation?

Plan to have a couple of weeks off from school. If the  child develops a sore throat or cold before the surgery, let the hospital know, as it might be safer to reschedule.

Q6: How is the tonsil operation done ?

The Child  will be under anesthesia (asleep) while the tonsils are removed through the mouth. These days Coblation wand is used to remove the tonsils, which  is a bloodless procedure. The operation itself takes about 20 minutes.  However the  child will be in the operating area for about an hour in total.

Q7: How long will the  child need to stay in the hospital?

The  child will be discharged same day once they’re eating, drinking, and feeling well. Occasionally, the child may have to stay overnight

Q8: What are the risks of tonsil surgery?

Tonsil removal is generally safe, but there is a small risk of bleeding, which sometimes requires a return to the hospital or even a second operation. There’s also a slight chance of damaging a tooth during the procedure, especially if it’s loose or has a crown.

Q9: What should I expect after the operation? 

The child’s throat will be sore at first, but it should improve each day. Give pain medicine as directed. Eating regular food and drinking with meals will help healing. Chewing gum might also ease the pain.

Q10: Is it normal for my child to have ear pain after surgery?

Yes, ear pain is common after tonsil surgery because the nerves in the throat and ears are connected. It usually doesn’t mean there’s an ear infection.

Q11: What will the  child’s throat look like after surgery?

The throat will appear white as it heals, and you might notice small stitches, which will fall out on their own.

Q12: What if the  child gets a fever or their throat smells bad after surgery? 

If the  child develops a fever or their throat smells unpleasant, this could be a sign of infection, often due to not eating well. If this happens, contact your doctor or the hospital for advice.
