Publications
My peer-reviewed publications span ENT surgery and facial plastic surgery: rhinology, facial ageing, otology and skull base work. Every entry below links to its PubMed record or DOI, and the full record is on my ORCID profile, so nothing here has to be taken on trust.

Other published work
Alongside the papers above I have written an editorial, four published letters and a congress abstract, and I was invited by The Journal of Laryngology & Otology to review three major surgical textbooks: Gubisch's Mastering Advanced Rhinoplasty (2018), Senior and Chan's Rhinology and Allergy (2018), and Jacono's Extended Deep Plane Facelifting (2022).
Why this matters when choosing a surgeon: published, peer-reviewed work is one of the few credentials that cannot be self-declared. If you are comparing surgeons for revision rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty, ask each of them for their publication record and check it on PubMed, exactly as you can check mine here.
