I take a photograph and show you the change in real time. We discuss your current nasolabial angle, the balance between nose and forehead, the ratio of bridge to tip, and a design that fits how you actually come across. It is better to see the change you have only imagined and then decide.

For some noses, yes. But if the bridge is left alone and only the tip is raised, the line from bridge to tip often fails to run naturally. Unlike other areas, the nose is a chain of linked elements that together make the result.

Age is not what decides whether to operate. There are people in their twenties I advise against it, and people in their fifties who get an excellent result. What matters is not age but an appropriate plan.

No. Most patients who come back ten or twenty years later — sometimes with their daughter — have no pain, no inflammation and the same shape. The real signals for revision are pain at rest, redness and swelling from inflammation, and a shape that has bent or lifted.

You don't have to decide in a hurry. Why this operation is right for your nose, and why this material has to be used — I would like you to understand at least those two things before you decide.
