'The skills involved in rhinoplasty and portraiture complement and strengthen each other.

Portraiture makes me consider what is it that distinguishes a face? Likewise, with rhinoplasty, I consider – what is it that is distracting about this nose?
My aim is to firstly listen to the patient’s concerns, such as the bump or deviation or poor airway. After examining the nose inside and outside, and with photography, I guide the patient through the decision making process. The question really is, what is possible with surgery?

I strongly believe that the best possible outcome for rhinoplasty is a nose no one notices. If the nose is unremarkable we focus on the eyes. This is what I want to achieve for my patients.

No one wants to look operated on. I strive for a natural appearance and above all, a well functioning nose. As an ENT surgeon with 15 years experience, I am fully trained to deal with:

- Airway problems
- Sinus pain
- Recurrent infections'
