- Cleft Revision
Whilst David is world renowned for his cleft work with children, he is equally passionate about refining older cleft repairs to achieve a more natural and less noticeable result. Whether surgery is to address issues of facial appearance or to relieve affected speech, David’s adult patients feel an immense sense of freedom following the procedure.

- Nose
The nose is a common source of dissatisfaction, and in many cases only a subtle correction is needed to make a difference to the overall balance of the face. David’s approach to rhinoplasty is to refine the shape of the nose to achieve a less noticeable and more aesthetically pleasing appearance that balances the facial features, with emphasis placed on the way the nose works and preserving or improving nasal airways.

- Ears
Ears can be a source of concern for many people, with feelings of insecurity often rooted in childhood bullying. David performs otoplasty on patients of all ages, to create ears with a natural appearance and that no longer attract unwanted attention.

- Upper Eyelids
Heavy upper eyelids can be one of the first signs of aging, and patients often complain of being told they look tired. David has worked with many patients to lift the upper eyelids, carefully removing extraneous tissue to open the eyes and ‘lighten’ the upper face. He also offers an alternative procedure, if required, to equalise asymmetries and achieve a longer lasting result.

- Skin
David’s extensive experience with facial procedures has equipped him well to expertly minimise the impact of skin cancers and moles on the face by removing them and ensuring that there is as little aesthetic consequence as possible. David also reviews patients who would like to improve the appearance of scars left behind from prior removal. Although David’s primary interest is in the face, he is also happy to see patients with lesions and moles on their body.
