Image morphing

At your initial consultation, photographs of your nose and face are taken from different angles. In many cases, these images can then be digitally altered (“morphed”) using specialised software to illustrate potential changes to the nose.

When preparing these images, Dr Jumeau considers several factors: what you like and dislike about your nose, what may be achievable in balance with your facial features, how changes could affect nasal function and airway, and what is realistic given your tissue quality, skin type, and any previous surgery or trauma.

It is important to understand that photo morphing is an educational tool only. It is not a guarantee of how you will look after surgery. Instead, it is used to:

• help you and Dr Jumeau develop a shared understanding of possible goals
• show how different features of the nose (such as the bridge, hump, or tip) may affect one another
• support planning while recognising that surgical findings may require adjustments on the day of surgery (for example, scar tissue or cartilage availability).

The images are most useful for discussing shapes, angles, and overall proportions rather than exact measurements. You may receive a digital copy of the images with a written summary of the proposed plan.

Having a family member or friend attend your consultations, including the morphing discussion, is encouraged as it can be helpful in decision-making.

Disclaimer: Morphed images are intended for discussion and education. They do not predict or guarantee surgical outcomes. Individual results vary depending on personal anatomy, healing, and other factors.
