In this page we will talk more about rhinoplasty and also the superb locations where this surgery is available in Bristol, but first a few words on the surgeon Elena Prousskaia.
Choosing a hugely experienced and skilled surgeon is essential – regardless of whether or not you end up choosing Elena, you need someone with a superb CV, proven experience and a patient-first ethos.
Elena has been a cosmetic surgeon for approaching 20 years. She trained for eight year in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and then embarked on Fellowships around the globe at some of the leading centres for plastic and cosmetic surgery – of course with rhinoplasty, one of the most common procedures, chief among her experience.
Elena spent a three year Fellowship at the renowned Guys and St Thomas’ in London and then held Fellowships in Italy, Barcelona, India and the University Hospital in Tokyo, learning the very latest techniques./
She is an award winning cosmetic surgeon and one who has been published in medical journals.
But just as important as the Fellowships and awards is the fact that independent reviews for Elena speak of her ability and patient-first focus. Across independent review sites such as Google and Iwantgreatcare she has universal five-star reviews – please take the time to read through some of the impartial reviews.
As Elena says:
A good surgical outcome is not the only thing that matters. Everything that you do and say to a patient has to come from your heart.
This approach is seen when a patient is considering rhinoplasty in Bristol.
The process would start with a detailed and lengthy consultation, at which Elena would take the time to discuss the surgery, the potential results and also outline the recovery process.
After this, there would usually be a second consultation at a later date, this allowing the would-be patient to ask any follow-up questions that might have occurred to them, the pause also allowing people to consider whether surgery is truly what they want.
Rhinoplasty is a popular procedure and it is one where Elena’s approach is to make the results natural looking, cosmetic surgery where the end result does not look as if there has been obvious cosmetic surgery. The results should look natural, leaving a nose that is well proportioned and fits with the rest of the face.
Being realistic and open about the procedure is also key. Rhinoplasty is surgery that takes a while to produce the final results – there can be visible swelling for months and it might be up to a year until the final true results have completely set in. It is also a procedure where the healing process means that it is impossible to predict the finished results with complete certainty as the internal scarring can alter the result achieved in surgery.
This means that the skill and experience of the surgeon are crucial, that ability and knowledge to be able to tell with as much confidence as possible how the surgery will ultimately look.
The consultation would also run through the two possible types of surgery – one leaving a small scar at the base of the central partition, the other with all scarring internally. Which is the best approach will vary.
