A lovely evening celebrating Christmas with a brilliant team and friends.

Grateful for the people behind the work — and for a chance to step away from surgery and share a glass and a laugh together. 🎄

I am delighted to share this patient’s journey -
2 months after ultrasonic rhinoplasty.

The goal here was natural refinement — improving the dorsal line, defining the tip, and bringing balance to the profile without changing identity.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty allows precise contouring of the nose with minimal trauma, faster recovery and very controlled results.

Results continue to soften and refine over the next few months.

I am delighted to share this patient’s journey - 10 months after a deep plane face and neck lift. A natural, refreshed result has been achieved that keeps her identity completely intact.

The focus here was restoring support to the midface, jawline and neck—without tightening the skin or altering her character.
Scars are placed in natural creases and heal discreetly when the deeper layers (SMAS and platysma) carry the tension.

A facelift should make you feel happy and confident - and look rested and youthful, not different.

It was a great pleasure joining with and to unpack some big talking points in facelift surgery. Thank you for reaching out to me!

Alongside , who recently travelled to Turkey for a mid-facelift at just 28, we explored issues that go beyond a single operation — the pressure on young people to look “perfect” online, the rise of surgery abroad, and the blurry line between beautification and rejuvenation.

When is a facelift about ageing… and when is it about chasing a trend?

I shared my perspective, which aligns with most facelift specialists in the UK - clinical need, safety and long-term wellbeing must always come before fashion and filters.

Surgery is permanent - trends are not.

What is your take?

It was lovely to catch up with this young lady 2 months after she underwent a piezo rhinoplasty under my care.

She was particularly troubled by excess width from the front and a bump at the side. As is common in my practice, it was very important for her to have a natural outcome.

The key manoeuvre in her case was repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages in the tip. In the before photo, they point upwards and fill out the supratip. During surgery, they were reoriented into a more caudal (towards nostrils) position giving a more defined appearance. See last photo for visual of change in position.

Although my preferred option is to build a little slope from the side, she was keen for a straight bridge - which works very well with her features.

Thank you for allowing me to share!! 🤩🙏🙏

I have just returned from the Face and Rhinoplasty Symposium ( ) in Florida - an intense educational meeting.

The emphasis on the facelift side was deep neck work and endoscopic approaches with the maestros and .gomezbravo leading the way. There were some interesting discussions about the goals of facelift surgery - being just rejuvenation or an element of beautification too. With endoscopic approaches, it certainly opens up surgery to a younger cohort.

There were also some valuable discussions on complex rhinoplasty cases .md . I am always looking for tips to refine my technique.

The meeting finished with an endoscopic cadaveric course. It was helpful to pick up tips on how we can improve our own cadaveric next year in Cambridge, which is now in its 4th year 🥳 . I am also aiming to introduce endoscopic facial rejuvenation approaches in my own practice.

I am thrilled to share Laurie’s early rhinoplasty journey from beginning of surgery to cast removal and seeing the initial results at 1 week! Scroll through!

I always put simulations and patient photos up on the wall during surgery so that I can make sure we are progressing accurately towards the end goal. Some patients also bring their own goal photos to put up - creating a mood board!

There is a long way to go in the recovery process but it was lovely to see the change and Laurie’s positive reaction at this stage.

Thank you for allowing me to share 🤩🙏🙏
