What does Dr Geraldine Vansteelant specialise in?

The nose, both how it works and how it looks. She is an ENT surgeon and rhinologist with subspecialist training in functional nasal surgery and facial plastic surgery, performing septoplasty, turbinate reduction, septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty. She also performs otoplasty and earlobe repair.

Can a deviated septum and nose reshaping be done at the same time?

Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are frequently combined in one operation, known as septorhinoplasty. Whether that is the right approach depends on the assessment at consultation, which covers breathing as well as appearance.

What is Dr Vansteelant GMC number?

Her GMC number is 8038438. She is on the GMC Specialist Register, and her registration can be checked on the GMC register.

About Dr Géraldine Vansteelant

Dr Géraldine Vansteelant is an ENT surgeon and rhinologist, with subspecialist expertise in the nasal airway, functional nasal surgery and facial plastic surgery.

She qualified in medicine at the Université Catholique de Louvain in Brussels and completed her specialist training in ear, nose and throat surgery and head and neck surgery at the same university. She holds dual European certification in ENT, and the European Board Examination in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (EBEC-FPRS). She also completed the University Diploma in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Université Claude Bernard Lyon, and was selected internationally for the hands-on fellowship of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery in London.

That combination is unusual and clinically useful. Most surgeons operating on the nose come from either an ENT or a plastic surgery background; Dr Vansteelant is trained in both. It means the airway and the external shape of the nose are assessed together rather than separately — which matters, because a nose that looks better but breathes worse is a poor outcome, and the two are frequently addressed in the same operation.

Her particular interest is rhinology: nasal obstruction, septal deviation, enlarged turbinates, nasal valve collapse, chronic rhinitis and sinus disease. She also leads assessment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea at Centre for Surgery, including sleep studies and drug-induced sleep endoscopy to identify where the airway is actually collapsing before any surgery is considered.

Dr Vansteelant speaks regularly at international conferences and has authored several scientific publications in ENT and facial plastic surgery. She consults in English, French and Dutch.

She is on the GMC Specialist Register. GMC number: 8038438.
