The mirror reveals a self-confident happy woman to Isabelle since an open rhinoplasty and alar base reduction surgery reduced her nose’s size and reshaped it.

She says: “I was insecure about my dorsal hump, dropping tip, flaring of the nostrils and just the overall size of my nose. It affected my daily life as I would constantly think about it. The surgery has changed how I look at myself and increased my self-confidence.

Isabelle had contemplated rhinoplasty – commonly called a ‘nose job’ – for several years and had started having nose and lip fillers by Mr Jallali. But after nine months, she realised it wouldn’t fix everything she didn’t like about her nose, so she returned to have the full open procedure.

The surgical team put Isabelle at ease

Naturally, Isabelle was still nervous on the day of surgery but says everyone put her at ease. “It went much better than I imagined. I was mostly worried about the cannula, but Mr Patel [the anaesthetist] made me feel relaxed during the anaesthesia process,” says Isabelle.

He kept my cast on for two weeks instead of one, which helped my overall recovery and reduced the swelling.

Isabelle was familiar with the practice and says that she was really happy with how thorough her surgeon was with the whole procedure.

During her recovery journey, Isabelle stayed under the direct care of her surgeon, with support from his team. She says that they were ready to answer any of her questions and help her in any way.

“The surgery has made me feel more comfortable in my skin. I still look like myself, just a better version! I don’t ever look in the mirror and point out my nose anymore. I don’t even think about it in a negative way, which has made my day-to-day life much easier as it takes that stress away.”

Isabelle says: “I would 100% recommend an open rhinoplasty and alar base reduction by Mr Jallali to a family member or friend; I felt safe and comfortable at all times. All my questions were answered, irrespective of how silly they may have seemed!”
