Charlie King: Revision Rhinoplasty

Charlie, aged 39, from Essex, visited Pall Mall Cosmetics for Revision Rhinoplasty with ENT Plastic Surgeon, Professor Raghavan. The influencer and TV personality is best known for appearing on The Only Way is Essex, and more recently features in the new ITV series The Price of Perfection.

Charlie’s journey with Pall Mall Cosmetics

After undergoing disappointing previous nose surgeries, Charlie’s confidence took a knock. He’d hoped the procedure would bring him closer to how he wanted to look and feel, but instead it left him feeling uncertain and disheartened.

As time went on, Charlie realised that while he’d embraced many parts of his journey, he couldn’t ignore how his nose made him feel. He wanted to feel aligned with his appearance - not distracted by it. More than anything, he wanted to reclaim his confidence and restore the trust he’d lost in the process. That’s when he decided to explore Revision Rhinoplasty - and to do it with a team that truly specialised in complex cases.

For Charlie, this wasn’t just a cosmetic correction. It was about restoring his self-image, correcting what didn’t feel right, and finding the right support to do so. After researching his options and speaking to people he trusted, he chose Pall Mall and Professor Raghavan to guide him through the next step.

Why Charlie chose Pall Mall

Charlie’s decision to undergo Revision Rhinoplasty wasn’t one he made lightly – especially after a difficult first experience. Finding the right clinic and surgeon was just as important to him as the procedure itself. After speaking with friends who had trusted Pall Mall for their own care – and hearing consistently reassuring feedback – Charlie felt confident he’d found the right place.

What stood out to Charlie was Pall Mall’s reputation for professionalism, expertise, and hospital-level care. With everything under one roof at our CQC-registered private hospital in Newton-le-Willows, he could feel at ease knowing his consultation, surgery, and aftercare would all be managed by one experienced team with a joined-up approach.

But it was Professor Raghavan who truly gave Charlie peace of mind. With extensive experience in facial plastic and revision nasal surgery, his thoughtful, measured approach made Charlie feel heard, understood, and safe. He valued the way Professor Raghavan took the time to listen to his concerns, set realistic expectations, and develop a plan that felt personal – not one-size-fits-all.

About the procedure

Surgery time: 2–4 hours under general anaesthetic
Recovery: Swelling can take up to a year to fully settle
Risks & Considerations: More delicate tissue, structural grafting, and longer healing time

The process of a revision rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a highly specialised surgery designed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose job. It’s typically more complex than primary rhinoplasty due to scar tissue, altered anatomy, or unresolved functional issues.

In Charlie’s case, his initial procedure left him with a shape and structure that didn’t meet his expectations – both aesthetically and personally. That’s why it was essential to work with a surgeon like Professor Raghavan, who has significant experience in advanced nasal reconstruction and secondary procedures.

This type of surgery requires a careful balance of precision, planning, and artistry. It may involve rebuilding support structures, adjusting the nasal bridge or tip, and improving both the appearance and function of the nose.

Patients often consider revision rhinoplasty to:

  • Improve unsatisfactory results from a previous rhinoplasty

  • Restore breathing function

  • Address asymmetry or collapse

  • Rebuild internal support lost during prior surgery

A transformation that’s all his own

For Charlie, this was about so much more than a cosmetic change - it was about taking charge and making a change that he hoped would lead to a better quality of life.

This procedure was Charlie's second revision rhinoplasty meaning it was a more complex case that required Mr Raghavan to use rib cartilage to rebuild his nose as part of the operation. The procedure was a success and the 'on the table' result was excellent. In the weeks following, Charlie developed some mild post surgery issues, which slowed down his recovery. Charlie is still under the care of Mr Raghavan and is undergoing treatment to ensure he achieves the optimum result possible.

We’re proud to have helped Charlie through this empowering chapter and continue to support him with his posy recovery needs.

At Pall Mall, we stand behind every patient making informed, personal choices – free from pressure and full of possibility.
