The Nose Clinic : Rhinoplasty in Ireland: 4 years today ! Munish Shandilya

4

 

I started my Blog “The Nose Clinic” exactly four years back on the 1st of January 2011.

I am delighted with the achievements … because the ground covered in these four years is far beyond what I had proposed and hoped for … in my opening post.

So we had realistic goals ! and … that is how it should be !!

The Blog has been visited by 92,750 international visitors in these last years and has helped me spread the message that there is an Ethical, Carefully structured Caring journey available in Ireland for anyone interested in Rhinoplasty. There is Guidance available to those where the candidature may be in doubt. There is an Ear available to listen to those … who have been traumatised with or without past surgical experiences.

The role as Irelands National Delegate to the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) has increased my interaction with similar minded teachers from Europe and beyond. This is the most important development of 2014 and has allowed me to grow as a Rhinoplasty Specialist at an exponential rate.

I have so far confirmed my attendance at Rhinoplasty Meetings in Milan, Prague, Chicago & Cannes in 2015. I will be attending the European meetings as an Invited Speaker. These are valuable fora to communicate and improve our skills and forever move towards safe and satisfactory outcomes in Rhinoplasty Surgery.

We plan to start our own Irish Rhinoplasty Meeting under the umbrella of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI).

Extracorporeal Septoplasty : 5 years after an In-situ “Extracorporeal Septoplasty” as part of a Septorhinoplasty: Munish Shandilya Ireland

cmc2ptcmc1ptcmc3pt

These pictures have been produced here with the kind consent of this young patient for teaching purposes
Extracorporeal Septoplasty is an advanced form of Septoplasty where the septal components are removed outside the body and replaced back after making the desired corrections. Although increasingly finding acceptance, I feel in my hands I rarely need to take out these components out completely. I perform what I call an “in-situ Extracorporeal”Septoplasty … preserving as much of the good septum possible and build around it.
This is a five year result with very satisfactory Functional & Cosmetic results.

Morphing in Rhinoplasty : Computer Simulation in Rhinoplasty: Digital Manipulation of Clinical Photographs in Rhinoplasty

morblogtxt

The picture used here to describe the concept of morphing pictures is not a true patient but a web image. The technique shown here is using  a popular digital picture manipulation software.

Morphing in Rhinoplasty refers to a technique of manipulating digital photographs of a patient aspiring for a Rhinoplasty surgery.

While most patients have a clear idea of what they are trying to achieve it can be difficult to accurately convey this to their surgeon. In other patients the ultimate rhinoplasty goal is less clear cut when they first arrive for their consultation. These patients know something is not quite right but they are relying on the Surgeons expertise to achieve a satisfactory result. For the surgeon, on the other hand, it is vital that the patients likes, dislikes and goals are fully understood.
Specialist Rhinoplasty surgeons use many tools to achieve that precise understanding of goals with their patients. Communication between the patient and the surgeon is a critical component to successful rhinoplasty surgery. Digital Morphing is a very powerful tool to arrive at the common ground.
What is required

 

1. TIME. Your surgeon should have the time and inclination to perform this himself because only your surgeon knows if he can achieve the result they are displaying.

 

2. COMPUTER AND PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERTISE. The Surgeon must have the expertise to convert their knowledge of Rhinoplasty surgery and its outcomes onto the screen with reasonable precision.

 

3. REALISTIC DEPICTION. The changes must be kept conservative to give an idea that is reproducible in most cases.

 

4. PATIENT UNDERSTANDING. It must be explained very clearly that the modified pictures are used as a guide and are not a promise of the outcome.

 

In our clinic the surgeon Mr Shandilya performs clinical photography and Digital Morphing himself in every single case. Consistency and experience of photographically recording the right angles every time and achieving consistent results in surgery makes the whole process very valuable.

8TH International Biennale Milano Masterclass

It is my pleasure to introduce Professor Pietro Palma, The President of EAFPS (European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery) who is a Rhinologist I would travel to listen to and learn from.

Professor Pietro Palma is a Rhinoplasty Surgeon who is respected across the Rhinology world for his innovative techniques and teachings. He is a master of the closed technique of Rhinoplasty and in my opinion one of the best when it comes to Profileplasty.

Rhinoplasty information in Ireland : Specialist Rhinoplasty Clinic in Ireland

The first quarter of the year 2014 has been most fruitful ..

My Nomination as the Irish National Delegate to the EAFPS  EAFPS – The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, will now allow me to spread the academic message of Rhinoplasty even more effectively in Ireland. For various reasons it is difficult for patients to access reliable information on certain aspects of Nasal surgery and it has been my effort to make some information available through my blog.
