Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose, to bring it into balance with the rest of the face, and in many cases to improve breathing at the same time. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC), rhinoplasty is planned and performed by our plastic surgeon, at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches, starting with a free consultation where you discuss your goals, have your nose and face assessed, and leave with a written plan and price. The aim is a nose that suits your face and keeps your character, not a template shape.
Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, reshapes the bone and cartilage that give the nose its form. It can:
| Approach | What it means | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Closed rhinoplasty | All incisions inside the nose, so there is no visible scar | Smaller changes to the bridge or tip |
| Open rhinoplasty | A small incision across the skin between the nostrils (columella) gives the surgeon a full view | More complex tip work, revisions |
| Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty | Ultrasonic instruments reshape bone precisely while protecting soft tissue | Bone reshaping with less bruising |
If you want to smooth a small bump or lift the tip slightly, a non-surgical nose reshaping with filler may be an option: no operation, but the result is temporary. Read our non-surgical rhinoplasty guide. Surgery is the option for reducing size, narrowing, straightening or improving breathing.

You see a new shape when the splint comes off, but the nose is still swollen. Most visible swelling settles in the first 4 to 6 weeks, and the tip continues to refine for up to 12 months, especially in thicker skin. Results vary from person to person.

Rhinoplasty is one of the more technically demanding operations in facial surgery, and it carries real risks. Your surgeon will discuss them in detail. They include:
The cost of rhinoplasty in Dubai usually ranges from AED 20,000 to AED 50,000, depending on the complexity of the change, whether breathing (septum) correction is needed and the clinic. Typical ranges: Rhinoplasty, AED 20,000 to AED 50,000; Revision rhinoplasty, AED 35,000 to AED 55,000 or more. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your surgeon confirms your exact price in writing at your consultation, before any treatment.
Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose by changing its bone and cartilage. It can change the size, shape or angle of the nose and can improve breathing at the same time.
Closed rhinoplasty is done entirely through incisions inside the nose. Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision between the nostrils, which gives the surgeon a full view for more complex changes.
The splint comes off after about a week, most bruising fades in 1 to 2 weeks and many people return to work then. The final shape develops over up to 12 months.
Most people describe the first days as uncomfortable and congested rather than very painful. Pain relief is prescribed, and the blocked feeling improves once the splint and any packing are removed.
If your breathing problem comes from a deviated septum or another structural cause, it can often be corrected during the same operation (septorhinoplasty). Your surgeon will check this at consultation.
Small bumps and a slightly drooping tip can sometimes be improved with filler. This does not make the nose smaller and lasts months rather than years. See our non-surgical rhinoplasty guide.
