What to discuss when reviewing these photographs
| Look at | Ask the surgeon |
|---|---|
| Previous surgery | What implants or grafts were removed, retained or replaced? |
| Support and breathing | How were nasal support and the airway assessed alongside appearance? |
| Follow-up | Were photographs taken after early swelling had settled, and are later views available? |
Photographs help explain an approach, but they do not show every part of recovery or predict your result. Your skin, nasal structure, previous surgery and healing may differ.
