Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping, nose job or nose surgery, is a procedure designed to enhance both the aesthetics and function of the nose.
It can correct cosmetic concerns such as a crooked nasal bridge, dorsal hump, or bulbous tip, while also treating functional issues like breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum. By improving harmony with the rest of the face and restoring proper airflow, rhinoplasty offers patients in Abu Dhabi and Dubai a balanced, natural, and lasting result.

A good candidate for rhinoplasty is a healthy patient with realistic expectations who seeks to improve the appearance of the nose, correct breathing problems, or both.
Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Abu Dhabi & Dubai, evaluates each case individually, tailoring the procedure to facial proportions and patient goals.

Certain medical conditions—such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes (types I and II), autoimmune disorders, or blood clotting problems—may require additional precautions. A thorough consultation, supported by clinical evaluation and pre-operative tests, helps determine whether rhinoplasty is safe and appropriate in each case.

The cost of rhinoplasty in the UAE varies depending on the surgical technique, the complexity of the case, and the patient’s individual needs.

According to major search platforms (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo), the starting price for an open primary rhinoplasty in Abu Dhabi or Dubai ranges from AED 22,000 to 25,000. When a more advanced closed (scarless) rhinoplasty is performed, the cost is typically higher, reflecting the surgeon’s precision and expertise required for this refined approach.

Revision rhinoplasty is considerably more expensive—often more than double the cost of a primary procedure—because of the technical challenges, longer operating time, and specialized surgical training needed to correct prior surgeries.

Other factors influencing the final investment include:

• The experience and board certifications of the surgeon
• The quality and accreditation of the hospital or clinic
• The standard of perioperative and post-operative care provided

For an accurate assessment and personalized treatment plan, schedule a consultation with Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Abu Dhabi & Dubai, recognized for his expertise in scarless primary and revision rhinoplasty.

As with any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries potential risks such as infection, bleeding, or the need for revision. Fortunately, these complications are uncommon when the surgery is performed by an experienced, board-certified specialist.

Choosing a qualified surgeon like Dr. Paulo A. Escobar, Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Abu Dhabi & Dubai, greatly reduces complications and maximizes safety. With over 20 years of expertise, Dr. Escobar focuses on delivering natural, long-lasting results while ensuring the highest standards of patient care.

Rhinoplasty results are generally long-lasting and, in most cases, remain stable for many years. When the nasal framework is reinforced with structural grafts at the tip and dorsum, or when modern preservation techniques are used on the bridge, outcomes tend to be both natural and durable.

That said, the nose is a dynamic structure that continues to evolve with time. Factors such as natural aging, skin thickness, and individual healing patterns may cause subtle changes in shape over the years. For this reason, no surgeon can guarantee that the nose will remain completely unchanged for life—but with proper technique and post-operative care, patients can expect results that are stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for the long term.
