Many people are bothered about their noses for years before seeking treatment or advice. Whether a desire to reshape the nose or to address problems including stuffiness and difficulty breathing, treatment for nose and sinus issues can be life changing and dramatically improve quality of life.
David Roberts (MBBS BSc FRCS ORL) is one of the leading rhinologists (nasal surgeons) in the United Kingdom and internationally. He specialises in rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), treating nasal obstruction or blockage, and complex sinus surgery. He lectures nationally and internationally on many aspects of nasal, sinus and skull base surgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a past examiner for the Intercollegiate Specialty Board.
Reshaping the Nose – Far from trivial, cosmetic reshaping of the nose can be transformative. This may be achieved through non-surgical treatments (such as filler) or by rhinoplasty (surgical reshaping).
Before any treatment is undertaken, Mr Roberts takes time to listen to the concerns about the shape or size of the nose in relation to the face and the change that is desired. He will also point out features of the nose and face that someone may not have considered, bringing his vast experience and expertise to the conversation. He takes time to answer any questions and carefully explore any concerns with an easygoing manner that instantly puts patients at ease.
Part of the treatment planning involves digital imaging and image simulation. Mr Roberts was one of the pioneers of this technology that helps patients to visualise the potential changes that can be achieved prior to undergoing any treatment or surgery.
In all, he aims to improve the appearance of the nose and create balance with the rest of the face, tailoring the outcome to the precise features and needs of each patient. Functional issues such as blockages causing difficulty breathing through the nose can be addressed at the same time.
