NHS and Academic Experience

Mr Paun is a former Head of the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospitals, large teaching trusts in London. Surgeons across the region and the country refer complex cases to him.

He is an Honorary Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on rhinoplasty and aesthetic reconstruction after facial trauma, and he regularly presents at national and international meetings.

Raising Standards in Facial Plastic Surgery

Mr Paun has played a leading role in how facial plastic surgeons are assessed and certified in Europe:

• President of the European Board for Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: The board he helped set up as its inaugural president. It certifies surgeons through peer review and examination of their work.
• General Secretary of the International Board for Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
• Chair of the credentials committee of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery.

He also teaches facial plastic surgery and runs a rhinoplasty course in London for other surgeons.

His Approach to Rhinoplasty

Mr Paun's aim is a natural result that suits each patient's face, rather than a single standard nose. Because breathing and appearance are closely linked, he assesses how the nose works as well as how it looks, and plans surgery to keep the nose well supported.

He chooses between open and closed techniques based on each patient's anatomy and goals. Every patient's plan begins with a one-to-one consultation, with 3D imaging where appropriate.
