Ewelina's rhinoplasty transformation with Professor Raghavan

Ewelina's transformation with Professor Raghavan

Dec 19 2024

Ewelina, a 30-year-old from Warrington, recently underwent Septorhinoplasty with Professor Raghavan at Pall Mall Cosmetics in August 2024.

Ewelina had struggled with both breathing difficulties and dissatisfaction with the appearance of her nose for years. Having experienced a deviated septum, she often faced challenges with breathing, alongside concerns about her side profile due to her nose's shape.

After years of feeling self-conscious, Ewelina decided it was time to take control of her health and self-image, opting for a procedure that would not only improve her breathing but also enhance the appearance of her nose.

Taking the leap

Ewelina had long struggled with breathing issues caused by a deviated septum, which made simple tasks like breathing through her nose a challenge. Alongside this, she was unhappy with the appearance of her nose. She felt her nose was over-projected, had a small hump, and would drop when she smiled.

After years of frustration, Ewelina decided it was time to seek a solution that would both improve her breathing and enhance the shape of her nose.

Ewelina's main concern before her Septorhinoplasty was her breathing difficulties. She was aware that correcting her deviated septum would relieve this issue, but she was also anxious about the aesthetic side of the procedure. She had always avoided photos taken from her profile due to her dissatisfaction with the shape of her nose.

What is a Septorhinoplasty?

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines two elements: Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty. The septoplasty portion of the surgery focuses on correcting issues with the septum, the cartilage and bone that divide the two nostrils.

A deviated septum, like the one Ewelina had, can cause difficulty breathing and lead to chronic nasal congestion or sinus problems. Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a procedure to reshape the nose for cosmetic or functional reasons. It can address issues like a hump, overly pronounced features, or an uneven shape.

In Ewelina’s case, Septorhinoplasty was the ideal solution, as it not only improved her ability to breathe but also gave her a nose that better complemented her facial features.

Choosing Pall Mall

Ewelina chose Pall Mall based on the clinic’s excellent reviews and the reputation of the experienced GMC registered surgeon, ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Professor Raghavan. Additionally, Pall Mall’s proximity to her home was a deciding factor.

As someone who was anxious about the procedure, Ewelina wanted to be sure she could easily access support should any issues arise after the surgery. The reassurance of having a trusted, accessible clinic nearby made her feel confident in her decision.

Seeing the results

Two weeks after the surgery, Ewelina was already feeling fantastic. Despite the expected bruising and swelling that came with the procedure, she could already see a noticeable improvement in both the appearance of her nose and her ability to breathe more easily.

“After my procedure, I felt great! There was a lot of swelling and bruising, also some pain, but after 2 weeks, I could already see a massive difference in my nose appearance!”

The change was beyond what she had anticipated, and her worries about her side profile were replaced with excitement and satisfaction.

Ewelina is overjoyed with the results of her Septorhinoplasty so far, her nose now complements the proportions of her face, and she no longer feels anxious about having her profile photographed. The transformation has been exactly what she hoped for, and the difference is already evident, even in the early stages of recovery.

Ewelina's top recovery tips

Invest in a travel pillow

This simple addition makes a significant difference in ensuring comfort while sleeping during recovery.

Stay hydrated

Drinking plenty of water helps speed up recovery and keeps you feeling well throughout the healing process.

Use lip balm

Due to the swelling and mouth-breathing post-surgery, lips can become dry, so keeping lip balm on hand can provide much-needed relief.

Ewelina’s journey demonstrates not only the physical changes that come with Septorhinoplasty but the newfound self-assurance that comes from feeling both comfortable and happy with one’s appearance.
