Cleft rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging areas of facial surgery, and for Mr Shaheel Chummun the focus is on improving function and restoring structural balance.

In his new article, he shares how modern technology is transforming cleft and revision rhinoplasty in the UK, allowing surgeons to combine artistry with engineering to rebuild form and function with remarkable precision.

From 3D imaging to virtual surgical planning and advanced graft techniques, this new era of innovation is helping patients who grew up with earlier cleft repairs finally achieve comfort, confidence and harmony in their appearance.

Many patients describe this stage as the moment their journey comes full circle, often decades after their first surgery.

Mr Chummun approaches this work with accuracy, thoughtful planning and a clear focus on outcomes that support breathing, symmetry and long-term stability.

Four months after surgery for severe Dupuytren’s contracture, performed by Miss Jurga Pikturnaite.

This patient presented with significant contracture affecting two fingers, limiting hand movement and function. A surgical release was performed to straighten the digits and restore full range of motion.

At four months post-op, the patient has regained the ability to fully extend the hand, showing a strong functional recovery, that makes a meaningful difference in everyday activities.

Dupuytren’s disease can be progressive and challenging, but with specialist surgical care, both movement and confidence can often be restored.

Swelling and bruising are a normal part of rhinoplasty recovery. They are temporary, but they can make the early days feel more intense than expected. Knowing what is normal helps you feel calm and confident throughout healing.⁠

In the first week, swelling and bruising are at their peak, especially around the eyes and cheeks. Both gradually fade as the days go on, and gentle improvements are often seen every morning.⁠

As a general guide:⁠

Weeks 1-2: Swelling and bruising are most visible. The nose can feel full or blocked, and skin may feel tight.⁠

1 month: Most bruising has gone, and swelling starts to reduce, although the bridge and tip can still appear puffy.⁠

3-6 months: Definition begins to return. Any lingering swelling continues to settle gradually.⁠

Up to 18 months: The final shape becomes clear as the skin softens and small changes continue.⁠

Everyone heals at a different pace. At Emendo Surgical Group, patients are supported throughout recovery with guidance, reassurance, and follow-up care.⁠

Four- and eight-week update following arm lift surgery with Miss Jurga Pikturnaite.

After significant weight loss, this patient was left with loose skin around the upper arms, causing discomfort during exercise and affecting her confidence.

Through a carefully planned brachioplasty, the excess skin was removed, restoring a smoother contour and greater comfort in movement.

Procedures like this are not about perfection but about freedom, helping patients feel confident, comfortable and unrestricted as they continue their journey to wellness.

Planning surgery is about timing as much as it is about technique.

Winter can be an ideal time for recovery, giving patients space to heal quietly and comfortably before the busier months ahead.

Cooler weather means swelling is often easier to manage, layers of clothing make it simpler to protect healing areas, and there is less sun exposure to affect scar care.

It also allows time for results to settle before spring or summer events, so patients can return to social and professional life feeling confident and rested.

Every season has its advantages, but for many, the calm of winter offers the best environment to recover well and plan ahead with confidence.

An early result, two weeks after reconstructive rhinoplasty with Mr Shaheel Chummun.

This young patient underwent reconstruction of the nasal bridge using a rib cartilage graft, carefully sculpted with the Piezo ultrasonic device to refine and sculpt the nasal bones.

The use of rib cartilage allows for precise structural rebuilding, particularly in cases where support has been lost through previous surgery or congenital difference. The aim is to restore both function and natural balance to the nose.

At two weeks post-op, swelling remains, but the early result already shows restored symmetry and a more defined bridge. Over the coming months, refinement will continue as healing progresses.

Reconstructive rhinoplasty is among the most technically detailed procedures in facial plastic surgery. With advanced techniques and careful planning, both aesthetic and functional outcomes can be achieved.

The most common feedback after eyelid surgery is that patients simply look refreshed.

Many say they look less tired, more awake, or more like themselves again. Small changes around the eyes can have a powerful effect, brightening the face while keeping your natural expression.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is designed to refresh, not change. It restores light and balance to the eyes so you still look like you, only rested and confident.

Many patients come to see Emendo Surgical Group not just because of how their nose looks, but because of how it functions.⁠

A common cause of nasal blockage is a deviated septum, when the central cartilage inside the nose bends to one side, often after an injury or from birth.⁠

This can make breathing difficult, particularly during exercise or at night. Through septal correction, the cartilage is straightened or reshaped to restore balance and airflow, often improving both function and appearance.⁠

Good rhinoplasty always considers both how you breathe and how you feel about how you look.⁠

A remarkable recovery, four months after Dupuytren’s correction surgery with Miss Jurga Pikturnaite.

This professional pianist and church organist presented with severe contracture of the hand, limiting movement and preventing him from playing.

Miss Pikturnaite performed a surgical release to restore finger extension and improve hand function. The post-operative video shows the dexterity and range of motion that have now returned, allowing him to once again play his instruments with ease.

Dupuytren’s disease can significantly affect independence and quality of life, particularly for those whose work or passions rely on fine hand movement. With expert surgical care, function and confidence can often be restored.
