The Result – Recovery and Transformation

Patient Story 1 : Functional Rhinoplasty

Problem:

A 32-year-old patient experienced chronic nasal blockage and constant snoring due to a deviated septum, which also affected sleep quality and confidence in social settings.

Solution:

Dr. Joe Marais performed a functional rhinoplasty with septoplasty, correcting the septum and refining the nasal structure to ensure proper airflow.

Result:

Within weeks, the patient reported easier breathing, better sleep, and improved overall energy levels. They were thrilled that the nose also looked naturally balanced with their facial features.

Patient Story 2: Revision Rhinoplasty

Problem:

A 40-year-old patient was unhappy with the results of a previous nose surgery done elsewhere, citing visible asymmetry and difficulty breathing.

Solution:

Dr. Marais performed a complex revision rhinoplasty, reconstructing the nasal framework and correcting both functional and aesthetic issues with advanced surgical techniques.

Result:

The patient was overjoyed with the natural, symmetrical results and regained confidence, stating: “I can finally breathe freely, and I love how my nose looks!”

Patient Story 3: Post-Injury Correction

Problem:

A 16-year-old boy suffered a nasal fracture during sports, resulting in a crooked nose and breathing difficulties.

Solution:

Dr. Marais performed a functional rhinoplasty combined with septoplasty to restore both the appearance and function of the nose.

Result:

The teenager’s nose shape was corrected, breathing was restored, and he returned to sports feeling confident and unrestricted.
