Areas of work

Nose surgery sits at the centre of the practice, and it is not divided in two: appearance and obstruction are two faces of the same anatomy. Rhinoplasty planning always begins with endoscopic assessment.

Alongside this, sinusitis and endoscopic sinus surgery, snoring and sleep apnoea, adenoids and tonsils in children, and hearing and balance disorders form the regular part of the clinic.

  • Rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty
  • Septoplasty and turbinate surgery
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery
  • Assessment of snoring and sleep apnoea
  • Paediatric ear, nose and throat
  • Hearing and balance disorders

Approach

At the examination, whether an expectation fits the anatomy is discussed openly. Rather than promising an unrealistic result, the preference is to explain which changes are possible and which are not.

Surgery is not always the first option. Where medical treatment reaches its limit in sinusitis, when waiting is right in children, and who is not suitable for filler treatments are all part of the decision.
