• How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?

  Rhinoplasty recovery is not overnight, but most patients find the downtime very manageable with proper care. Typically, you should plan for about 1 week off client/customer facing work to rest and heal​ In the first week, you’ll likely have a splint on your nose. Bruising and swelling around the nose and under the eyes are common right after the surgery and heal after 72 hours – By the end of the first week, a lot of the facial bruising will have subsided and you should start to look and feel much more normal. Most people feel comfortable being back in public or at work after once the nasal splint is removed at day-7.

• What is the success rate of rhinoplasty?

  On average, the UK revision rate for rhinoplasty is between 5% and 15%, meaning a substantial percentage of patients seek a second surgery to refine or correct their initial results. In contrast, Mr. Taimur Shoaib’s expertise and precision have resulted in an exceptionally low revision rate of just 3.3% in 2023 and 2.9% in 2024, along with an outstanding 97% patient satisfaction rate. These figures highlight the importance of selecting an experienced rhinoplasty specialist. Surgical studies show that 85–90% of patients are happy with their rhinoplasty results after the first procedure, while approximately 10–15% may seek a revision to adjust their outcome. A large-scale study reported a revision rate of 9.8% and a patient dissatisfaction rate of around 15%, reinforcing the fact that most patients are satisfied when the procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon. In practical terms, if you select an experienced, highly qualified rhinoplasty specialist, the chances of achieving your desired result the first time are significantly higher. The surgeon’s expertise, technique, and artistic judgment all play a crucial role in success rates. The best rhinoplasty surgeons not only have lower complication and revision rates but also ensure that expectations are realistic and achievable. While rhinoplasty can create life-changing improvements in facial harmony and breathing, it’s essential to approach the procedure with a realistic mindset. A top surgeon will refine and enhance your nose to complement your unique features, rather than aiming for an artificial or copied look. 📌 Key Takeaway: The success of your rhinoplasty depends not just on the procedure itself, but on who performs it. By doing thorough research, reviewing before-and-after galleries, and selecting a renowned London rhinoplasty expert like Mr. Taimur Shoaib, you dramatically increase the likelihood of a smooth recovery, natural results, and long-term satisfaction. Over time, the aging process will continue, and some degree of facial laxity and wrinkling may gradually reappear. However, many individuals find that even as they age further, the results of their facelift still leave them looking more youthful than they would have without the surgery. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting the skin from sun damage, and following a good skincare regimen can help prolong the results of a facelift. It's essential to have realistic expectations about the longevity of facelift results and to understand that periodic maintenance procedures or non-surgical treatments may be necessary in the future to maintain your desired appearance. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can provide you with personalised information about what to expect from a facelift and how to best maintain your results over time.

• What Are the Differences Between Open and Closed Rhinoplasty, and Which Is Best for Me?

  Rhinoplasty is performed using either the open or closed technique, and the best approach depends on your individual nasal structure and surgical goals. Open Rhinoplasty involves a small incision under the nose (columella) for greater precision and visibility, making it ideal for complex reshaping or revision surgeries. Closed Rhinoplasty is performed through incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars. This technique is preferred for subtle refinements and quicker recovery. At Berkeley Square Medical, Mr. Taimur Shoaib carefully assesses each patient to determine the most effective method for their needs. Whether enhancing nasal aesthetics or improving function, he ensures a tailored approach that delivers natural, balanced results. During the initial days following the surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can impact your ability to return to work. Your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions tailored to your case, including recommendations for rest, activity level, and follow-up appointments. If your job is physically demanding or involves strenuous activity, you may need to take additional time off to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. Conversely, if your work is more sedentary and doesn't require significant physical exertion, you may be able to return sooner. It's essential to follow your surgeon's guidance closely and prioritise your recovery to achieve the best possible results from your facelift procedure. If you have any concerns or questions about returning to work after surgery, be sure to discuss them with your surgeon during your pre-operative consultations.

• Does the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon Guarantee Perfect Results?

  No surgeon can guarantee perfection, but the best rhinoplasty surgeons focus on achieving natural, balanced, and functional results tailored to your facial structure. A top specialist, like Mr. Taimur Shoaib, combines surgical expertise, precision, and artistry to deliver the best possible outcome. However, healing varies for each patient, and minor refinements may sometimes be needed.
