Before Surgery

Patients are encouraged to visit their general practitioners to discuss their wish to undergo nose cosmetic surgery Mr Woolford will see you for your initial consultation, as in his view it is important that you discuss the option of a rhinoplasty thoroughly with him in person rather than with another practitioner.  He will discuss the changes to your nose that you hope to achieve by surgery and examine your nose both on the outside and inside. The kind of rhinoplasty that would be required and realistic outcomes are discussed. If asked Mr Woolford will show you pictures of the results of surgery that he has personally performed (rather than a clinic brochure with cases by a number of different sugeons). Written information about rhinoplasty is given to the patient If you would like to move things forward photographs are then taken. Patients who wish to proceed to surgery are seen on a second occasion (there is no additional fee for this) where the surgery is again discussed and any questions answered Photographs are reviewed, and the aims of surgery discussed in detail. Mr Woolford ensures that the patient has realistic expectations and is aware of possible complications including the occasional need for a second operation
