With 25 years of experience as a rhinoplasty Surgeon & ENT Surgeon, she is a longstanding member of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australasian Academy Of Facial Plastic Surgery (Treasurer 1999-2005, Executive Secretary from 2020). Her main surgical interests are rhinoplasty and surgery for the correction of prominent ears.
“My aim is to first listen to the patient’s concerns about the bump, tip, deviation or poor airway. After examining the nose inside and outside and with photography, I guide the patient through the decision making process. The question really is, what is possible with surgery?”
“I strongly believe that the best possible outcome for rhinoplasty is a normal looking nose that no one notices. If the nose is unremarkable we focus on the eyes. This is what I want to achieve for my patients.”

Rhinoseptoplasty means re-shaping the nose and straightening the internal nasal septum so as to improve the nasal airway. It’s commonly referred to as nose reshaping surgery. Most people consider having rhinoplasty for months before they actually ask for a referral. Rhinoplasty is often performed for crooked noses following injury. At times there is no history of trauma.

Otoplasty means reshaping the ear. Between three and five per cent of all people have prominent ears. Usually, the outer curve of the ear is unfolded. To repair this, sutures are placed in the cartilage framework of the ear and hidden under the skin. There is also a dissolving stitch in the skin to close the skin incision camouflaged behind the ear.

Sinus surgery is appropriate for people who have failed intensive medical treatment. Endoscopic surgery takes around one hour and is performed under general anaesthesia and usually requires one night in hospital.

Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils, two oval-shaped lymph glands at the back of the throat — one on each side. It’s offered to children and adults suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea or from recurrent tonsillitis . Some adults with bad breath resistant to mouth wash have smelly pellets in their tonsils . The only cure for their bad breath is tonsillectomy.

Glue ear is a condition that occurs when the middle part of your ear fills with fluid. In 90% of children, this fluid will clear in two to three months but if not it can cause problems such as a hearing loss which leads to poor speech development, inattention, bad behaviour, and imbalance in toddlers. It may be the cause of poor progress at school for older kids.

We suggest you look at the before/after gallery photos on the different websites and examine the reviews. The best way is to speak with someone who has already had a good experience and can provide a recommendation.
We suggest you bring some images of a nose you really admire. We will then discuss if it is a realistic goal for you. It is also a good idea to bring any scans or other information relating to your nose. If you bring a referral, you will be able to have a Medicare rebate.
Medicines that thin the blood and increase bruising and swelling include Aspirin and NSAIDS such as Naprosyn, Naprogesic, Celebrex, Indocid, Ibuprofen, Ponstan and Voltaren. Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Gingko, Echinacea and Manuka Honey all have a similar effect.
We recommend you avoid these medicines 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery to reduce bleeding and bruising.
Don’t wear any makeup or earrings to hospital. If you do, they will be removed to reduce the risk of infection.
When you wake up you will have a plaster on your nose. The plaster must be kept dry for 1 week so you won’t be able to wash your hair. That means it is important to have really clean hair on the day of your rhinoplasty.
You must be 18 years to undergo Rhinoplasty. If you are under 18, you must obtain a report from a psychologist and undergo a 3 month cooling off period.
Yes, greatly. During the rhinoplasty the cartilage in the nose is re-shaped in order to achieve a normal look. Nicotine in cigarettes or vaping will reduce the blood supply to these areas and possibly lead to breaking down of some of the cartilage. This can result in notches, asymmetry and even loss of skin. It is best to avoid nicotine for 1 month pre op and 3 months post op. Even passive smoking is a problem.
At your appointment you will be given a quote for Dr Dunlop but you need 2 other quotes to know the total cost. We will give you the phone number for the anaesthetist and the hospital so you can obtain their quotes as well. You need to check with your health fund that you are covered for rhinoplasty before the surgery. Health funds and Medicare pay very little towards the surgical and anaesthetic fees. They contribute mainly towards the hospital costs such as the theatre fee and overnight stay. Without insurance hospital fees in 2022 are round $7,000. If you choose to go home the day of surgery rather than stay overnight the saving may only be several hundred dollars (2022).
