Q. I am 13 years old and I broke my nose last year, what is the minimum age I would be able to undergo rhinoplasty surgery with parental consent?,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. In general terms and, I preferred to undertake rhinoplasty after the age of 18, when the facial features enter a somewhat slower phase in development. In the context of post-traumatic changes, in particular if quite significant, I would be happy to evaluate the situation from around the age of 17, so the nasal development is relatively complete.

Q. Hello, Could you tell me if you perform a non surgical nose job? I have had this done in the past to lift the tip of my nose slightly, i liked the results, however i dont think the doctor who did it had much practise in this area. i believe there are ways to reduce flaring using botox and then of course using the filler to create projection. i only want subtle results and i dont feel quite ready to consider surgery. could you help? thanks,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. I’m afraid I do nonsurgical nose reshaping rather infrequently, as my main area of specialisation is the surgical approach.

Q. Hi, I have a hump on the bridge of my nose which really effects my self confidence. I am going to South America in 2 weeks and am concidering getting Rhinoplasty there. Do you know what certificates I should look for for a surgeon to have. Also, do you know how long a waiting list is usually to get surgery? Many thanks!,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. I have to say, I have no knowledge of the practicalities of searching for a plastic surgeon in South America, the types of qualifications to expect, and Internet related information that you can put to your service. I suspect that a good number of the plastic surgeons in South America will have exposure to the training programmes in the United States, or Brazil, both of which have a strong track record in aesthetic surgery.

Q. I want to go through nose plastic surgery,

 

A. Thank you for your inquiry. The starting point is represented by a consultation, where it is possible to evaluate on computer simulation the type of change that you would like to see in the end. It allows me to formulate a plan for the treatment and explain the recovery period as well as the risks and complications associated with it.

Q. hi, I have a droopy tip at the end of my nose and was wondering if i can straighten it through non surgical rhinoplasty? please can you get back to me?,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. To the best of my knowledge and experience, a droopy nasal tip can only be moderately improved by nonsurgical means. The approach involves building up more volume at the base of the columella, and a degree of augmentation in the upper part of the nasal tip.A

Q. Next year I plan to have a rhinoplasty to fix several difference characteristics of my nose that I dislike. They are the size of the tip, sixe of the nose, shape size of the nostrils, a bump, the bridge, and the constant redness. I would like to know, is it realistic for me to expect all of these things to be fixed in one surgery?,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. The only part that is never improved by the surgery is the redness, and in fact it can be made worse by the operation because of the interference with blood supply to the skin. The redness of the nose can be improved by intense pulsed light treatments, laser treatments, or if the redness is due to rosacea, dermatology advice should be sought. With regards to the reshaping of the nose, it is possible to evaluate the points you have raised on a computer simulation either on standard photographs or in 3-D. This allows for a more accurate discussion and planning, as well as an evaluation of what is reasonable to expect from a surgical intervention.

Q. 5 months ago I had a small lump (from a previous injury) removed from the front of my nose. Has healed well but has left an indentation which really upsets me. Looks like someone’s pressed it in. I wonder if an injectable filler would help. My GP says I must leave it a year to settle first.,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. In general terms, allowing it more time to settle will create a situation where it is easier to evaluate how much improvement is necessary. If you are contemplating using a temporary filler based on hyaluronic acid, like Restylane or equivalent, it would be safe to do the treatment at this stage also.

Q. I am half Asian and half Enlgish, I want a flat nose is that possible? Regards,

 

A. Thank you for your enquiry. It is possible to reshape the nose in many ways, but to be honest I think the most important part is to try to have a clear representation of the shape you would like to achieve before clarifying whether it is within achievable range. This can take place using computer imaging and simulation either based on standard photographs and 3-D images.
