Head and neck surgery

Facelift surgery targets age-related facial changes caused by loss of skin elasticity, muscle tone, and fat volume. Over time, gravity and ageing leads to drooping skin around the cheeks, jawline and neck. During a facelift, the surgeon makes discrete incisions (often around the hairline and behind the ears), lifts and tightens the underlying muscles and connective tissue layers, removes excess skin, and re-drapes the remaining tissue to restore youthful contours. Modern techniques focus on natural results - enhancing the patient’s features without an “overdone” look.

Correcting jaw alignment for better function and aesthetics. Orthognathic (jaw) surgery is a procedure designed to correct issues with the alignment of the jawbones. This surgery is typically recommended when the upper and lower jaws do not line up properly, which can lead to difficulties with chewing, speaking, breathing, and may even affect the overall appearance of the face. By realigning the jaw, this surgery can help improve your bite, create a more balanced smile, and alleviate discomfort associated with jaw misalignment. For those facing challenges related to jaw alignment, orthognathic (jaw) surgery can provide significant functional and aesthetic benefits.

Neck lift surgery addresses visible signs of ageing in the neck and lower face - such as sagging skin (“turkey neck”), loose platysma muscles, and fat accumulation under the chin. Over time, gravity, genetics, and sun exposure contribute to these changes, making the neck appear aged or heavier. During the procedure, the surgeon typically makes small incisions around the ears and/or under the chin, tightens the platysma muscles, removes excess fat and skin, and repositions tissues to restore a smoother contour. It can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation. Modern techniques focus on natural-looking results, maintaining harmony between the neck, jawline, and face without over-tightening.

Enhancing facial harmony through nasal reshaping. Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to alter the shape, size, or proportions of the nose to improve facial balance and appearance. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries worldwide. Whether you are looking to smooth a bump on the bridge, refine the nasal tip, reduce overall size, or correct asymmetry, rhinoplasty can be tailored to achieve natural-looking results that complement your individual facial features. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 1–3 hours depending on complexity. Patients should have realistic expectations and understand that the final result evolves over several months as swelling resolves.

Restoring clear nasal breathing. Septoplasty is a functional nasal procedure designed to correct a deviated nasal septum — the partition of cartilage and bone that separates the two sides of the nose. When the septum is significantly crooked or displaced, it can block one or both nasal passages, making breathing through the nose difficult. This surgery straightens and repositions the septum to improve airflow. Unlike rhinoplasty, septoplasty focuses solely on internal nasal function rather than external appearance. The procedure is performed through the nostrils with no visible external incisions or change to the outer shape of the nose. It is one of the most commonly performed ENT operations and is generally safe with a high success rate.

Combined Surgery for Improved Nasal Function and Aesthetics. Septoplasty, often referred to in conjunction with rhinoplasty as septo-rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure that combines two distinct operations to enhance both the function and appearance of the nose. The septoplasty component focuses on straightening the septum, the wall of cartilage and bone inside the nose that separates the two nostrils. A crooked septum, known as a "deviated septum," can lead to breathing difficulties. Rhinoplasty reshapes the outer part of the nose for cosmetic reasons, allowing for changes in size or shape, or correcting deformities resulting from injury or birth defects. The combined septo-rhinoplasty procedure can effectively improve nasal breathing and enhance facial aesthetics simultaneously. Typically performed under general anaesthesia, recovery may take a few weeks, with some swelling and bruising expected around the nose during the healing process. For those experiencing breathing challenges or seeking improvements in nasal appearance, septo-rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution that addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns.
