✨ Transformation ✨

Thank you to this incredible mother of 3 who agreed to share her photographs. After 3 kids, it was time to do something for herself! She had some minor breathing difficulties and wanted a smaller, more refined nose as well as a more refreshed look. She underwent a rhinoplasty and brow lift with me.

With the rhinoplasty, we took down the nasal dorsum, refined the nasal tip and improved its rotation. The nostril shape was also improved which also helped her with her breathing difficulties. The brow lift adds a subtle change to the eye area which gives a more refreshed and "wide-awake" appearance which is more aesthetically pleasing.

By addressing both the nasal contour and brow positioning, we achieved a refreshed, harmonious, and natural-looking transformation that enhances all her other beautiful facial features.

Every patient’s journey is personal, and my approach is always tailored to your aesthetic goals. Together, we can create a look that reflects the confident, radiant version of you!

Did you know that up to 90% of visible skin aging is caused by sun exposure? 🌞

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of preventative skincare, and sunscreen is your best defense.

Backed by solid scientific evidence, daily use of broad-spectrum SPF protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

More importantly, it prevents DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer. Whether it’s cloudy or sunny, make SPF your daily habit for glowing, youthful skin for years to come. 🧴

A "life changing experience"👃

This young gentleman had an injury as a child and had been suffering with a deviated nose with severe breathing problems for 30years! It was affecting his sleep, his ability to exercise and also his self esteem. He felt that everyone used to stare at his nose and used to shy away from photographs .

Due to early childhood trauma, the growth of his nose was completely asymmetrical resulting in a very abnormal nose. The nasal bones were deviated to the left, the septum was bent into the left nostril with a large posterior nasal spur. I managed to first straighten the septum, decrease the mild dorsal hump, straighten the nasal bones and do some symmetrising manoeuvres to refine and equalise the tip.
Here’s to healthy breathing, a brand new sense of confidence and many future photo shoots!

For the surgeons:
Open approach structural septorhinoplasty. Excision of deviated septal segment and nasal spur, straightening of dorsal septum with scoring and spreader grafts, septal replacement graft and septal extension graft to straighten and project the anterior septal component. High-low-high lateral osteotomies, transverse osteotomies with en-bloc nasal bone centralisation. For the tip, bilateral Osman flaps, 2mm lateral crural steal, cephalic dome forming sutures and suturing onto the SEG.

Functional rhinoplasty aims to improve nasal function by addressing structural issues that impact breathing, airflow, and overall nasal health. Unlike cosmetic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty focuses on correcting airway obstructions and deformities, offering significant benefits to patients.

- Improved Breathing and Airflow:
Conditions like a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or turbinate hypertrophy can restrict airflow, making it hard to breathe through the nose. Functional rhinoplasty can correct these issues, often resulting in a noticeable improvement in breathing, especially during exercise or sleep.

- Better Sleep Quality:
Nasal obstructions can cause mouth breathing, leading to snoring or sleep apnea. By improving nasal function, functional rhinoplasty can enhance sleep quality, reducing sleep disorders and boosting energy levels throughout the day.

- Relief from Chronic Sinus Issues:
For those with chronic sinus infections, functional rhinoplasty can help by improving nasal drainage, reducing the frequency and severity of sinus infections and nasal congestion.

- Enhanced Exercise Performance:
Better nasal airflow benefits not only daily activities but also physical performance. Enhanced breathing leads to increased oxygen intake, improving stamina and endurance for athletes and active individuals.

- Long-Lasting Results:
Functional rhinoplasty leads to lasting improvements in nasal function, contributing to a better quality of life for years to come.

If you're struggling with nasal obstruction, sinus issues, or poor sleep quality, functional rhinoplasty may provide long-lasting relief and improved well-being.

Eyelid Surgery with a Difference👁

-- Surgery Goals --
This lovely lady was looking for a more refreshed look and didn't like the extra skin on her upper eyelids.

-- Examination --
She had minimal brow ptosis (drooping).
She had some hollowing of the space above her eyelids (orbital sulcus) which gave her an aged appearance.
She had some skin excess and downturning of the corners of her eyes, giving her a more tired appearance.

-- Surgery --
An upper eyelid blepharoplasty was performed under conscious sedation, with fat pad transposition, arcus marginalis release with brow pexy all through the upper lid incision and, to top it off, a lateral canthopexy.

-- Results --
Here you can see her results 1 month after the procedure. She had minimal bruising and swelling. Notice the improvement in brow position, a fuller, more youthful upper eyelid sulcus and improvement in the shape of her eyelids.

She looks more youthful, alert and overall more rejuvenated.

-- Disclaimer--
She has put a little bit of make-up on her face (not eyelids), eyelash extensions and still has some swelling present, so these are still early results. The patient has given consent for these photos to be shared as she is thrilled with her results.

Please note: results may vary from one patient to the next.

-- Final Thoughts from Dr Wilson --
It is important to have a wholistic approach to this particular area of rejuvenation. In order to achieve optimal results the eyebrow, upper eyelid sulcus, skin, muscle, fat and eyelid position must all be taken into consideration. Each individual patient must then receive a tailored approach bearing all of this in mind.
