Like any surgical procedures,
rhinoplasty has evolved based on
improved surgical techniques that
survive the test of time and patient
increasing expectations. As in most
cosmetic procedures, the vast majority
of advances for rhinoplasty are from the
teachings of surgical experience to
younger surgeons through operative
training, textbooks, lectures and
symposia. The difficulty of developing
randomized studies and multicenter
analysis for cosmetic procedures
contributes to the progression via
traditional modes of teaching. Cosmetic
surgery is unique among other surgical
specialties due to changing trends,
racial and regional ethnic preferences
that drive the patient desires to what
is |
considered an esthetic result. In no
other procedure is such differences
clear as is for rhinoplasty. The
operation is individually customized
with respect to current ethnic and
cultural norms. In modern rhinoplasty
surgery no single procedure or approach
can provide such a vast array of patient
desires for beauty and functionality.
Surgeons have to be armed with multiple
techniques that are utilized in concert
to give predictable results. Cosmetic
rhinoplasty remains one of the most
challenging facial cosmetic procedures.
This is unlikely to change despite many
advances and changes in this field.
The first Dubai rhinoplasty symposia is
an exciting opportunity to share and
learn the most recent trends and
techniques of this complex procedure. We
invite you to enjoy three days of
comprehensive lectures and discussion
with world renowned rhinoplasty
surgeons. We are honored to have a most
exceptional faculty and welcome all
surgeons to the vibrant city of Dubai in
anticipation of a most successful
meeting.

“More than
any other operation, rhinoplasty poses
challenges which taxes so many aspects
of a surgeon’s character: precision,
judgment, artistry, restraint,
imagination, and courage. The multitude
of anatomical variations of the nose and
the numerous variables encountered
during rhinoplasty means that every
surgery is different from the next. In
addition, the hundreds of techniques
described, each with its own nuances and
pitfalls make rhinoplasty a very
difficult operation to learn and
impossible to master. For these
reasons, the study of rhinoplasty is
best conducted through a stage in
which the techniques, philosophies, and
lessons of those who are most
experienced in this |
procedure can be
shared.
It is my privilege to participate as
scientific course director for the
inaugural Dubai Rhinoplasty Course. I am
honored to join some of the finest
rhinoplasty surgeons in the world to
serve as instructors and guides of this
complex and beautiful operation. All of
us faculty members feel lucky to have
the opportunity to share our experience
with other surgeons in Dubai. We hope
this is just the beginning of this
relationship. There is no doubt that
with continued study and interest
through courses like this one, continued
advancements and excellence in
rhinoplasty will occur here and
throughout the world.”
