Rhinoplasty

The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery on the nose is certainly not an easy one to make. However, we are now a long way from the stereotypical post-operative results that left such a lasting impression on people’s minds in previous decades. Today, while the results must be striking (otherwise, why have the operation?), the procedure itself must remain unnoticeable. This legitimate goal is the focus when choosing the techniques that will lead to the final, personalised result. Everyone should have a nose that reflects their personality, without any trace of the scalpel.

These choices are the result of open and consistent dialogue established during the essential pre-operative consultations between the patient and the practitioner. This consistency is based on the feasibility of the procedure in relation to the patient’s request and the availability of different surgical techniques. With this in mind, individual dialogue and photographic tools enable mutual understanding and a concerted approach. The functional respiratory perspective is incorporated into these consultations in order to supplement the aesthetic and functional clinical picture by all necessary means. At the end of this approach, the initial decision, supported by the elements of this analysis, becomes justified and motivating, finally leading to this long-awaited procedure, despite the fear it may inspire.

It is within this relationship of trust, with the primary objective of satisfying patients’ desires without exposing them to the torment of disappointment, that the decision to proceed with surgery is finally considered by scheduling an operation date.
