Plastic Surgery, through science.
Evidence-based information about plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, written for patients.
I use this space to answer questions that frequently come up during consultations, explain the anatomy and reasoning behind different procedures, and look critically at some of the treatments and trends in aesthetic medicine.
The aim is simple: to help patients understand what a treatment can realistically achieve, what the evidence actually supports, and where its limitations are.
Why Doesn't My Nose Look Straight After Rhinoplasty?

Swelling, cartilage, scar tissue, skin remodeling, and the support provided by cartilage grafts all continue to shape the nose for many months after surgery.
