As a craniofacial surgeon I have a particular interest as well as expertise in nasal surgery. The nose is the centre of the face and needs to be well proportioned to create facial balance.
The nasal airway must also be unobstructed allowing equal airflow through the left and right nasal passage. A definitive approach to nasal surgery addresses cosmetic concerns in addition to improving a patient’s breathing.
Four procedures are most commonly used:
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is an operation performed on the external nose to improve its appearance, and balance the look of the nose on the face. In cases where people are born with a disproportionate nose, or following trauma where the nose been distorted, surgery can alter the size of the patient’s nose, change the shape of the tip, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between nose and your upper lip.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is surgery on the nasal septum, and is performed to improve breathing through the nose. The septum can be congenitally deviated or displaced following trauma. Septoplasty aims to achieve even airflow through the left and right nasal airway. As well as correct crooked noses.
Rhinoseptoplasty
Rhinoseptoplasty is where a rhinoplasty and septoplasty are combined to maximize cosmetic improvement as well as address nasal airway obstruction.
FESS
Fibreoptic Endoscopic Einus Surgery will address pathology in the paranasal sinuses. In cases where the paranasal sinuses are involved with pathology I will perform this surgery in conjunction with an ear, nose and throat (ENT) colleague to ensure the patient achieves the best results.
This combined ENT/Plastic Surgeon approach maximizes the outcome for patients and minimizes their downtime.
