Ear Surgery
‘Cosmetic procedure that improves and reshapes the appearance of the outer ears’
Ear Surgery in Dubai (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty (Commonly known as Ear Surgery) is a cosmetic procedure that improves and reshapes the appearance of the outer ears. In some cases, only one ear may require cosmetic surgery, In others, both ears may need to be operated on to address an imbalance. This type of plastic surgery will only correct or alter the shape of the ears but will not improve or affect the function and hearing of the ear.
Ear cosmetic surgery typically takes one to two hours and is performed under local anesthesia. The specific techniques and duration depend on the individual’s needs and the nature of the concern.
During the procedure, Dr. Ahmad makes a small incision behind the ear to access the cartilage. He then carefully sculpts and repositions the cartilage, bending it closer to the head to create a more balanced appearance. Non-removable stitches may be used to secure the new shape. In some cases, a larger piece of cartilage may be removed to achieve a more natural-looking fold and optimal results.

Ear Surgery is one of the most psychologically rewarding forms of plastic surgery and has great self-confidence benefits.
Ear Surgery (OTOPLASTY) Recovery
Recovery Immediately After Ear Surgery
The recovery period for otoplasty is typically one week. If removable sutures are used, they are taken out after about a week, although some procedures may not require any sutures to be removed. After surgery, patients spend a few hours in a private recovery room before being discharged into the care of a responsible family member or friend, allowing them to return home the same day.
Recovery From Ear Surgery at Home
Patients will need to wear a headband dressing over their ears for the first few days and should avoid putting pressure on their ears while sleeping. The ears may feel tender for 3 to 5 days, but most individuals can return to their normal routines shortly after.
Dr. Ahmad provides detailed post-operative instructions and offers 24/7 direct contact via phone, text, or email to address any concerns during recovery. Complications are rare and generally minor when patients follow the prescribed care instructions. Choosing a skilled facial plastic surgeon further minimizes risks.
Once healing is complete, any signs of surgery are typically well-hidden, and most people won’t be able to tell that ear surgery has been performed.

How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.
