“Simply elegant and elegantly simple surgery-which is surgical art.”

Dr. John-Calinikos' motto in rhinoplasty.

Resume and Curriculum Vitae.

The Surgeon-Mr. John-Calinikos MB.,B.Ch. (University Witwatersrand South Africa), FRCS (Edinburgh, Scotland), AAFPRS-board certified facial plastic surgeon (San Fransisco,USA)

Fellowship qualified [Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh], an International Member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (USA) with over 30 years of experience in nasal and microsurgical surgery, Mr. John-Calinikos, consultant surgeon to NosePlasty Clinic, is an elite rhinoplasty surgeon medically registered internationally-(Greece, South Africa United Kingdom, (previously-New South Wales-Australia). He has dedicated his surgical skills to providing treatment and surgical care conforming to the highest international standards of quality and expertise. His belief is that facial plastic surgery (especially rhinoplasty), in order to be consistently successful, demands from the surgeon artistry, precise surgical skill, passion, commitment and attention to detail. He believes that world class results are only attainable by adhering to the above principles together with the philosophy in the performance of 'simply elegant and elegantly simple surgery'. This also demands the use of state of the art medical technology and the finest surgical instruments together with well practiced methods and techniques that assist in simplifying the surgery.

Artistic talent and a passion for beauty blended with surgical skill are the essential requirements for successful nose shaping surgery.

There has never been a substitute (in cosmetic surgery) for artisitic surgical ability combined with an eye for beauty!

Mr. John-Calinikos-has more than 30 years of international, surgical experience (having regularly performed surgery in Switzerland, United Kingdom, Greece and South Africa) and his passion, dedication and super-speciality is rhinoplasty. He is committed to excellence and has a passion for beauty and exceptional results. He is of the opinion that as a super-specialised rhinoplasty surgeon he must perform his surgery with conscientiousness, concentration and precision and also be aware of the aesthetic requirements of his patient. He believes that people who request nose shape changes are generally sensitive, emotional  and of above average intelligence. Facial plastic surgery and especially nose shaping surgery, is an emotional and psychological experience for the patient and Dr. John-Calinikos respects this and becomes involved in these sensitivities. He therefore prefers to select clients who he believes have a positive attitude to their proposed facial plastic surgery of their nose. He adheres to the high medical principle of "primum non nocere" (which has its roots in the Hippocratic oath) and would rather not proceed to surgery if he is of the opinion that he will not be able to improve his patient's nose to their or his own satisfaction. He has often been asked if he is the best rhinoplasty surgeon and his reply has always been "The best rhinoplasty surgeon is the surgeon that delivers the changes to your nose that you need! Every rhinoplasty surgeon who can do that is the best rhinoplasty surgeon for you!"

Mr. John-Calinikos does not believe in a ‘perfect’ nose. “Perfection can only be achieved by God”, he says. Beauty does not demand perfection! Every nose is unique and should be shaped to be in natural harmony with the face and personality of the person. Every nose is as different as every face and a different and a customized, individual approach describes Dr. John-Calinikos’ surgical philosophy. Some faces require a 'radical' approach; others a 'finesse' change to their nose that is enough to enhance the illusion of beauty and Mr. John-Calinikos -and no nose surgeon in the world! - can promise to attain the 'perfect' nose or 'perfect beauty' that the client so often demands.

Beauty is always an illusion that rests in the eyes of the beholder!

Mr. John-Calinikos says that rhinoplasty is a form of art.

"It's surgical art and art in surgery, and that is what rhinoplasty surgery should be!"

Mr. John-Calinikos’ super-specialisation in facial nasal plastic surgery was sparked by his personal friend and renowned colleague Professor Leslie Bernstein's (Sacramento USA) encouragement and rhinoplasty tuition courses followed by a fellowship of several years and many hours of specialised training at the world famous, and probably one of the busiest and foremost super-specialised, rhinoplasty Clinics in the world, the NoseClinic South Africa. The experience provided Mr. John-Calinikos the expertise of patient consultation, selection, analysis, photography and imaging. The training included the technical and natural surgical skills to deal with a variety of rhinoplasty procedures, ranging from the ‘simple’ hump removal to septal perforation repair and complicated revision surgery with multiple grafting. Such repair, revisions and grafting can take up to and sometimes more than 4-5 hours of skilled and precise microsurgical manoevering. This surgery time is often necessary in order attend to the precision and fine detail needed to achieve the best possible result.

(The usual uncomplicated noseplasty surgery lasts about 2 hours)

Mr. John-Calinikos’ rhinoplasty surgery incorporates advanced surgical techniques and procedures and he strives to ensure that his clients leave surgery looking natural, like ‘themselves’ but with a natural and non-operated appearance. The over riding ultimate objective in rhinoplasty is an improved, attractive, natural looking, long lasting result which is in harmony with the face and the body type of the person. (For example, a small nose on a big, tall person looks ridiculous.) At the same time a chin implant is often required to finalise the correct facial proportions.

Mr. John-Calinikos stays at the forefront of the latest developments by regularly attending workshops, seminars and international conferences on plastic surgery of the nose and face and stays in touch about current surgical trends with the prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (AAFPRS)* of which he is an international member. Dr. John-Calinikos works in association with specialist, dedicated anaesthetists who use the latest advances in anaesthesia with computerised intravenous sedation and encephalographic monitoring of the level of consciousness and sedation (conscious sedation), which has had a revolutionary impact on rhinoplasty procedures. Additionally, the method of avoiding surgical tissue damage, by non-use of suction or cautery on the delicate nose tissues during the surgical procedure, has contributed to the elegance of his rhinoplasty and to a rapid (5-7 days) recovery with minimal bruising, swelling and discomfort. Like so many South African world firsts, conscious sedation was first used in its total and purest form in South Africa by South African doctors.

One of Dr. John-Calinikos’ special interests is snoring, which may be related to the shape of the nose causing nasal valve or other nasal passage narrowing. Studies have shown that more than a third of clients requesting a nose shape change have compromised nasal breathing. Unless this problem is recognised and correctly treated at the initial surgery (by a combined cosmetic/functional rhinoplasty procedure) it can lead to long standing partial nasal obstruction. (Snoring is generally not recognised as a medical problem and is generally regarded as a cosmetic issue by many health insurers and for that reason medical insurers often avoid paying for its surgical correction. On the other hand it is often associated with bronchial problems and sleep disturbances with its resultant complications. )

Because of his international medical registration Mr. John-Calinikos has an international clientele and his appointment as rhinoplasty surgeon to the NosePlasty Clinic team contributes international prestige status to the Clinic.

Dr. John-Calinikos does facial imaging in United Kingdom (London), Greece (Mykonos, Athens), South Africa (Johannesburg, Pretoria) and Switzerland (St. Gallen)-only by pre-arranged appointment.
