  7. I WOULD LIKE A REFERRAL TO...

I would like a referral to an ENT specialist to discuss Rhinoplasty - would a GP provide this for cosmetic reasons only?

Asked By:Clarl2 in Perth, AU

Or will I need to state my case to my GP to justify the referral request ie: "I suffer from hay fever and have a constant blocked nose .... I don't want to use nose sprays etc... I'd be keen to discuss my concerns with an ENT specialist.... Could you refer me to Dr [RS bleep] please?"

Can I go snowskiing almost 7-8 weeks post operation? And can I put my ski goggles on? Could there be any problems?
Terrence Murphy, MD says:
