How to Prepare for Rhinoplasty
Patients can receive an initial consultation free of charge, either remotely or in person at the clinic. For a remote consultation, the patient should contact the doctor by telephone or through a messaging app. After the consultation, preparation for surgery begins and includes the following stages:
• Completing the medical tests prescribed by the doctor;
• Abstaining from alcohol;
• Reducing or completely stopping smoking;
• The doctor will review the test results and, provided that no contraindications are identified, schedule the date and time of the rhinoplasty procedure. Two to three days before surgery, patients must stop taking coagulants—medications that increase blood clotting;
• On the scheduled day, the patient should arrive at the clinic one hour before the procedure. This additional time is required for another consultation with the patient. The anaesthesiologist, ENT specialist, and surgeon discuss certain details and the expected results with the patient;
• After the consultation, the surgeon marks the patient’s nasal area and takes the patient to the operating room.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed at Dr. Shbair’s Clinic?
The procedure begins with thorough antiseptic treatment of the correction area, where experienced surgeons use advanced techniques. After anaesthesia has been administered, the surgeon makes precise incisions to work with the bone and cartilage tissues. The use of an ultrasonic piezo surgical instrument makes the procedure less traumatic and allows the surgeon to reshape hard structures accurately.
At the end of the operation, the surgeon secures the tissues in their new position and closes the incisions with professional sutures. Nasal packing and a stabilising splint are then applied to protect and support the nose. The duration of the operation varies from one to three hours, depending on the selected rhinoplasty technique. Our approach makes every stage of the procedure precise, innovative, and as comfortable as possible for the patient.

What Results Can You Expect from Rhinoplasty at Our Clinic?
Surgery is often the only effective solution for people with significant aesthetic defects and breathing difficulties. Thread-based nose reshaping, filler injections, Botox, and other non-surgical techniques can address only minor aesthetic concerns. They cannot resolve severe breathing problems. In addition, the results of these methods are temporary, whereas surgical techniques can provide a permanent solution to such problems.
Once the recovery period is complete and all damaged tissues have healed, no scars or other visible traces remain at the surgical site.
