Quick answer:<\/strong> Rhinoplasty is a safe operation for healthy patients when it is done by a trained plastic surgeon, in an accredited hospital, with a dedicated anaesthetist monitoring you throughout. Safety comes less from the operation itself and more from the checks before surgery, the team in theatre and the care in the first week afterwards. This guide explains each step, so patients flying in from Mumbai or living in the UAE know exactly what to ask.<\/p>\n\n

I have performed rhinoplasty since 1993 and in Dubai since 2005. Over that time, one lesson has stayed constant: a good nose is built on a safe operation. Here is how I make that happen for every patient.<\/p>\n\n

What type of anaesthesia does rhinoplasty use?<\/h2>\n

I prefer general anaesthesia (GA)<\/strong> for most rhinoplasty. You are fully asleep, your airway is protected, and I can work precisely without you feeling or remembering anything. It also keeps you comfortable during longer operations such as septorhinoplasty or cartilage grafting.<\/p>\n

Some smaller procedures, such as a nasal tip refinement or alarplasty (narrowing the nostrils), can be done under local anaesthesia with IV sedation<\/strong>. Even then, I only do them in a hospital operating theatre, never in a clinic room.<\/p>\n

Why the hospital matters.<\/strong> I operate at Dubai London Hospital, Jumeirah. A hospital gives you a fully equipped theatre, an anaesthetist on site, a recovery unit and inpatient nursing. If anything unexpected happens, every resource is already in the building. That is the single most important safety question to ask any surgeon: where will my operation take place?<\/em><\/p>\n
