Treatment overview
A personal plan, from consultation to recovery
Facial surgery is planned around anatomy, function, health, skin quality and personal goals. A specialist consultation is used to understand what you would like to change, what is realistically achievable and whether surgery or a non-surgical option is more appropriate.
Information on this page is general. Suitability, alternatives, risks and expected outcomes can only be assessed by a qualified physician who has reviewed your health and examined you.
Treatment options
The most appropriate option depends on diagnosis, anatomy, health and goals. A treatment name alone is not a recommendation.
Who may be considered?
These points describe common assessment themes, not automatic eligibility:
- Adults with realistic expectations and stable health
- Patients seeking functional and/or aesthetic nasal assessment
- People considering facial rejuvenation after specialist review
- Patients able to follow recovery and travel restrictions
Before you travel
Remote photographs and medical information can support an initial discussion. The final plan requires an in-person examination, a review of previous procedures and, for some operations, additional tests or imaging. Your surgeon explains the limits of photographs and simulations.
What the procedure pathway involves
The surgical approach depends on the treatment area and desired change. Anaesthesia, incision location, expected scars and the possibility of combining procedures are discussed individually. Functional concerns are assessed alongside appearance when relevant.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling, bruising, tightness, temporary numbness or changes in sensation can occur. Your surgeon provides wound care, activity, sleeping, sun protection and follow-up instructions. It can take weeks or months for swelling to settle and results to mature.
Planning your visit: Travel timing is confirmed after your surgeon reviews the planned procedure and follow-up needs.
Safety and considerations
Facial surgery carries procedure-specific risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, breathing changes, altered sensation or revision surgery. Individual risks and alternatives are explained during consultation.

Common questions
Facial Aesthetics FAQ
Can I have a rhinoplasty consultation online?
A remote discussion can help clarify goals and initial suitability, but a final surgical plan requires an in-person examination and assessment of breathing and nasal structures.
When can I fly after facial surgery?
Flying advice depends on the operation and your recovery. Do not book return travel until your team has provided a procedure-specific schedule.
Will swelling affect the early result?
Yes. Swelling and tissue healing can temporarily change appearance. Your surgeon explains the expected timeline for the specific procedure.
Can facial procedures be combined?
Sometimes, but combining procedures changes operating time, recovery and risk. The decision requires a careful medical and surgical assessment.
