AESTHETICS

Rhinoplasty

The nose is the central feature of the face and an essential component in our perception of self image. A nose that is out of balance with other facial features can have a significant impact on the appearance of the face. Annakan Navaratnam’s surgical approach emphasises enhancing natural features, achieving a balanced and natural appearance by considering size, shape, contours, and definition.

FORM & FUNCTION

Septorhinoplasty

Aesthetic and functional concerns affecting the nose can impact both your confidence and quality of life. A septorhinoplasty can effectively address these concerns in one procedure.

A rhinoplasty procedure reshapes and resizes the nose to improve nasal contours and enhance facial balance and proportion. A septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum to restore clear airflow. When both septoplasty and rhinoplasty are performed together, the procedure is termed septorhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty surgery

SECONDARY SURGERY

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialised surgical procedure aimed at correcting or improving the results of previous nasal surgery. This operation is generally more complex than a primary rhinoplasty due to the presence of scar tissue, changes in nasal structure, and the need for precise corrections. A skilled and experienced rhinoplasty surgeon with expertise in nasal reconstruction is vital to achieve both a functional and aesthetic improvement.

I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Mr Navaratnam was exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled, and thorough throughout the entire process. His expertise and attention to detail were evident at every stage, and I always felt that I was in safe and capable hands. I was particularly impressed by his diligence and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome of my septorhinoplasty. I’m would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Navaratnam to anyone looking for a surgeon who combines true expertise with genuine dedication to their patients.

I’d like to start off by expressing my sincere gratitude to Annakan,  and the team. The process has been supportive, reassuring and left me feeling confident that I’d made the right choice for my septorhinoplasty procedure.

Surgery is always a big decision, it’s something I’d been considering for over 30 years. My case required a major reconstruction due to genetics and I certainly didn’t want to look any worse. My intention wasn’t to look different, I just want to look more like me, with more balance and to improve my breathing. I’d reached a level of paralysis by analysis almost deciding to just shelve the idea permanently. I’d been researching to understand my situation and the art of the possible, attended various initial appointments with surgeons but always left feeling overwhelmed and not reassured, until I met Mr Navaratnam.

From the outset we discussed my history, concerns, intentions and desired results. I felt heard, considered and that it was a genuine joint venture with zero pressure to proceed, select a certain option or alternative. I was reassured with the possibility of multiple follow up consultations pre and post procedure. And, that is exactly what I have experienced.

Annakan is a personable expert, you know you are in very capable and experienced hands. I can’t express enough about the level of positive impact his approach and the outcome have had on me.

My only wish is that I’d connected with him sooner as I now feel confident, and have started a new chapter . Thank you.

Dr Annakan is the most professional and kind surgeon, I am beyond happy with my new nose, as a 20 year old girl who struggled with self esteem it was the best decision I’ve ever made and especially choosing Dr Annakan. I had a hump on the dorsal and a slightly large tip and a deviated septum only slight but noticeable. I use to hate photos from the side profile now I love them. He was incredibly informative to all of my questions when I had my first consultation. He took his time with discussing my results and the  modified images before hand were discussed in great detail. The communication from both Dr Annakan and the Cadogan team was phenomenal with clear consistent information regarding my procedure. The recovery was much smoother than I imaged and I would STRONGLY recommend Dr Annakan to whomever is considering a nose job! Thank you Dr Annakan truly.

I was referred to Mr Navaratnam for nasal surgery after years of suffering from chronic nasal polyps and was extremely frustrated after managing it poorly for so long. Mr Navaratnam was comprehensive and thoughtful with each consultation and really took the time to walk me through every angle of my symptoms, the procedure, after care, and future management. I was quite nervous about the surgery but felt so comfortable in Mr Navaratnam’s capable hands. The surgery was a success and he truly changed my life. I can breathe properly, and taste and smell food, for the first time in about 5 years. He even referred me to his NHS practice so I could continue receiving care outside of my insurance, which is a true testament to the quality of care he provides.
Thank you so much!

Having Dr Annakan Navaratnam as my consultant for my septorhinoplasty has honestly been one of the best experiences I’ve had in healthcare throughout my entire life.

Not only did he do an incredible job and genuinely change my quality of life for the better, but his empathy, warmth and patience, all alongside his deep expertise, have made me feel incredibly secure, looked after and calm throughout the entire process.

He has shown so much commitment to being there for his patients, all the way from pre-surgery to over a year afterwards. I was certainly nervous on the day of my procedure, and he still found so much time to be there, reassure me and make me feel at ease both before and afterwards on the ward. You never feel like a patient on a conveyor belt.

On that note, he has always made me feel incredibly comfortable in our appointments, and clearly cares deeply about every one of his patients. I never feel rushed, and he always makes a real effort to ensure I’m happy and that any concerns are properly addressed. Alongside this, he is very attentive to your overall health and, without hesitation, makes sure the ball is always in motion for any other investigations you may need.

This isn’t a consultant who simply does the job, ticks the boxes and ushers you away for a follow-up in the distant future, impossible to reach in the meantime. He is an incredible consultant and surgeon who is deeply passionate about caring for his patients and his speciality. I always know that if I need help or advice, he is easy to get in touch with, and that is incredibly rare.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Navaratnam for any of your ENT needs.

I had septorhinoplasty earlier this year to correct a deviated septum and felt nervous following previous operations.  However, Annakan and his team made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

On the day of surgery everything went perfectly, Annakan's excellent bedside manner made the experience comfortable. He is incredibly talented, polite, knowledgeable and friendly, and  was always available both before and after the surgery to answer any questions or concerns I had.

I would highly recommend Annakan to anyone considering undergoing a similar procedure. I am extremely for the care and support I received throughout my experience.

Dr. Annakan kindly treated our four-year-old son after he suffered a broken nose, successfully repositioning it under a general anaesthetic. From start to finish, both Dr. Annakan and his anaesthetist colleague, Dr. Yumna, provided exceptional care. They made what could have been a very stressful experience feel completely seamless. Their warmth, professionalism and reassuring manner immediately put us at ease and, most importantly, they made our young son feel comfortable and safe throughout.

Dr. Annakan is clearly an excellent surgeon, but what really sets him apart is the genuine care he shows for his patients and their families. He takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and makes you feel that you’re in the very best hands. That combination of technical excellence and sincere compassion is rare.

I’ve also spoken to several other people who have been treated by Dr. Annakan, and every one of them has had an equally exceptional experience. It’s evident that this level of care is simply how he practises.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Annakan and Dr. Yumna and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking outstanding care.

Choosing a surgeon for revision rhinoplasty was one of the most daunting decisions I’ve ever had to make. After already having a poor experience with my first rhinoplasty, I was anxious about putting my trust in someone again.

From my very first consultation with Mr Navaratnam, I felt completely at ease. There was never any pressure to book surgery or make a decision. In fact, he encouraged me to have consultations with other surgeons before deciding, but I honestly didn’t feel the need to. Something just felt right from that first appointment, and I’m so glad I trusted my gut.

I explained everything that had happened with my primary rhinoplasty, and he immediately understood the issues. He took the time to explain, in simple terms, exactly what had happened to my nose, drawing diagrams and even showing me some of his own published research to help me understand. It was obvious that he had an exceptional depth of knowledge and experience.

He came to see me before surgery to go through everything one last time, and he was there again as soon as I woke up afterwards. Those moments meant so much and made me feel genuinely cared for. The aftercare was equally outstanding. I always had access to a specialist nurse 24 hours a day, and whenever she needed to check something with him, he responded incredibly quickly. I never felt like I was dealing with my recovery alone.

I’m now just two months post-op, and I’m honestly still amazed every time I look in the mirror. Before this surgery, I had reached a point where I felt hopeless and didn’t think my nose could ever look the way I wanted it to. Somehow, he achieved a result that is even better than the morphs we discussed before surgery. He managed my expectations so carefully, which I now realise was incredibly humble because the outcome has gone far beyond what I thought was possible. My nose looks so natural, fits my face perfectly, and has given me a level of confidence I haven’t felt in years. It’s difficult to put into words just how much this has changed my life.

I also want to mention his secretary, Claire, who was wonderful throughout the whole process. As I had a long way to travel, she was always so friendly, patient, and accommodating, making everything as easy as possible.

I can’t thank Mr Navaratnam enough for what he’s done for me. His knowledge, surgical skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are second to none. I truly couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I had a septorhinoplasty with Mr Anakan, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience and results. From the very beginning, he was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail. He discussed the different techniques available and even drew out the anatomy to help me fully understand the procedure, which I really appreciated.

Throughout the process, he was calm, professional, and reassuring, making me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. His aftercare was excellent, and I always felt well supported during my recovery.

I am so pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Mr Anakan to anyone considering septorhinoplasty. Thank you for such an amazing job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mr Navaratnam is an experienced, expert surgeon coupled, unusually, with a genuinely thoughtful bedside manner and real empathy. He takes the time to listen carefully, remembers important personal details and tailors conversations and treatment discussions to the individual rather than treating patients like a number.

I found him calm, reassuring, highly knowledgeable and exceptionally professional throughout. He explains things clearly without rushing, balances clinical expertise with warmth and creates real confidence in his judgement. An outstanding ENT consultant whom I would recommend without hesitation.
