The first operation, planned in detail.
A primary rhinoplasty is a nose that has not been operated on before. That gives us a clean canvas, and it gives me the best chance of producing a nose that sits in balance with the rest of your face.
The work starts with looking, talking and listening, often across more than one consultation. Photographs are taken and simulated, so you can see what is realistically achievable before agreeing to surgery. The plan that goes into theatre is the plan we have agreed together.
In the operation itself the goal is restraint. Bone and cartilage are altered carefully, not removed wholesale. The aim is a nose that looks like it has always belonged to you, with the function preserved or improved.
- Dorsal hump or bumps
- Drooping or bulbous tip
- Crookedness from injury
- Asymmetry
- Narrowing or widening of either tip or nasal base
