"I had a rhinoplasty in January 2018 and I would highly recommend Dr Michael Tsounis and Lilyanna Marks because of their professionalism. I thought about this procedure for 10 years but I could not take the plunge because I was too anxious about the result.
And now I did it, I know it was the right decision to do it with Dr Tsounis because I am now feeling more confident, and Michael has reshaped my nose exactly how I wanted it. One word, perfection.
Lilyanna has been supportive, reliable, and she always replied to my concerns by sending me messages on my phone or ringing me. Also, she has been very gentle and considerate when removing the splint when she did the aftercare rhinoplasty. Lilyanna, consistently gave me plenty of advice.
In addition, the price was reasonable and I felt in safe hands in the hospital where the operation took place.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Dr Michael Tsounis and Lilyanna Marks."

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular facial plastic surgical procedures. Many people are unhappy with the nose they were born with, while others have had the shape of the nose distorted from an injury.
Disorders of nasal breathing often complicate the situation.
A range of techniques are used to fully address the desired change in appearance as well as to improve nasal breathing. The most common goals that a successful rhinoplasty achieves include improvement of the size and shape of the nose, removal of a hump and refinement of the nasal tip.Because it is one of the most technically difficult procedures in cosmetic surgery, rhinoplasty requires a strong sense of aesthetics coupled with a profound understanding of anatomy to provide an attractive, natural-looking nose that functions properly.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING RHINOPLASTY
The operation is usually carried out under general anaesthesia. An anaesthetist is constantly in attendance throughout the procedure to control and maintain the level of sedation. The technique used will depend on the level of improvement/correction required. An ‘open’ rhinoplasty is usually the preferred procedure as it allows much better access to expose and control all the small cartilages and the bones involved in the anatomy of the nose. Therefore subtle or more drastic changes can be achieved. A small exposure incision is made across the columella of the nose, between the nostrils. The incision heals rapidly and leaves an almost invisible scar. It is also in the shadow line of the nose – so it is not visible on views from the front or the side. In some cases a ‘closed’ procedure which involves incisions only in the inside of the nose is chosen. The best options will be discussed at the time of consultation.
RHINOPLASTY AFTERÂ CARE
Pain is minimal and often absent. Discomfort of a blocked nose is the most common complaint. You will be issued with anti-inflammatory agents and mild painkillers. Your face will be slightly puffy and slight bruising and swelling around your eyes will possibly set in and be visible for 7-10 days. You should not blow your nose for a number of days after the procedure, therefore you will be advised to do regular nasal douches. You may go back to work after a few days; however it is recommended that you try to take 7- 10 days off work to facilitate initial healing. Do not partake in any strenuous aerobic activities during the 3 weeks following the procedure. Moderate walking as soon as possible after the procedure is advisable. Drink as much fluid in the form of water and fruit juices as possible.
