Rhinoplasty primarily focuses on the function of the nose—breathing. Since specialization is what distinguishes a surgeon, rhinoplasty requires extensive experience in nasal surgeries and endoscopic procedures. This is what sets Dr. Abdelrahman Magdy apart; he is an ENT consultant and holds a PhD in endoscopic sinus surgery from England. He has also completed a fellowship in rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery at the University Hospitals of Birmingham, United Kingdom. At our centers, we specialize in what is known as functional rhinoplasty, meaning that we treat functional issues while also refining the shape to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance, all while ensuring proper breathing.
Dr. Abdelrahman Magdy performs rhinoplasty using either the closed or open technique, depending on each case and its specific needs. The difference between the two methods is a small incision beneath the nose used in the open technique, which does not leave any noticeable scar. The procedure mainly relies on reshaping the nasal cartilage, bones, and septum to achieve an aesthetically pleasing nose and optimal breathing.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours on average. The patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day, and an external splint is used for 7 to 10 days after surgery. Dr. Abdelrahman does not use any nasal packs or packing during or after the procedure.

Certain precautions must be taken before surgery. Otherwise, there may be increased bleeding during the procedure, and the recovery period may be prolonged.
Smoking: If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking for two weeks before undergoing rhinoplasty and continue avoiding it for two months after the procedure.
Alcohol: You should definitely avoid alcohol before surgery.
Herbal tea: You should consume herbal tea as much as possible before surgery.
Medications: Blood thinners should be avoided to prevent excessive bleeding during surgery.
Sun exposure: If you decide to undergo rhinoplasty during the summer months, you should protect your facial area from the sun as much as possible.
Nutrition: Proper nutrition is known to accelerate the healing process. Therefore, it is important to follow a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein.

In the closed rhinoplasty technique, there is no external incision in the skin of the nose, and the soft tissues inside the nose are not opened. Therefore, there is no visible scar on the skin. For this reason, it is also called scarless rhinoplasty, as it leaves no marks on the skin.
The closed technique can be performed in certain cases, and after examination, Dr. Abdelrahman can provide you with full details on which method is most suitable for your procedure.

Dr. Abdelrahman Magdy uses cartilage from the rib or ear, depending on the needs of each case, to support the nasal structure in certain situations, the most important of which are:
Revision cases where there is loss of cartilage or excessive removal of nasal cartilage.
Cases with very thick nasal skin, in order to achieve a more defined, sculpted shape.
Severe deviations of the nasal septum.

The ultrasonic device is used to sculpt the bones with very high precision. It can remove extremely small parts of bone and reshape it accurately without causing any injury to the surrounding soft tissues, such as nerves and blood vessels near the nasal bones. This is unlike traditional methods used in other centers for surgery. This technique has many advantages, the first of which is its high precision in performing surgical steps to ensure excellent results. It also helps avoid damage to nearby blood vessels and nerves, provides a faster recovery period with minimal pain, and allows faster and better bone healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
