Question

I wanted to know if Mr Ion has experience with thick skinned ethnic noses?

Also, I have a deviated septum. Is this something Mr Ion is able to correct?

Finally, if so do you have before/after pictures of these type of rhinoplasties?

Answer

A significant proportion of patients that I treat for rhinoplasty come from ethnic backgrounds that typically involve thicker issues around the nasal tip and nostrils.

In many of these interventions, additional support to the nasal tip using cartilage graft, frequently sourced for the rib combined with some reduction in the thickness of the soft tissues helps to produce a more defined appearance. Alar base reduction is also commonly part of the treatment.
