Diligent and considerate surgeon - didn't rush the

I wanted to wait until the majority of swelling had gone done before writing a review. I can happily say that I didn't expect such great results after prior trauma to my nose.

I had a more complex case. After breaking my nose when I was a child, I had a septoplasty under the NHS hoping that it would improve some of the issues that had persisted into adulthood. Unfortunately I was left with a groove that went off to one side and a bump on the bridge, as well as an asymmetrical tip with a bit of cartilage that protruded from it. The surgery had brought about more issues and I became very self-conscious about the appearance of my nose.

I had an initial consultation online due to covid measures with Mr Quaba about revision rhinoplasty and talked through the potential options including fillers to address the concerns I had with my nose. I had another consultation in person where he assessed the structure of my nose, but did not want to make a decision without viewing previous images that had been taken 14 years prior before and after my initial surgery. Again, he discussed the risks and benefits and encouraged me to consider my options.

Once he managed to get the images from my inital surgery, he invited me in again at no extra cost for a further consultation to explore whether I would be a good candidate for surgery. He decided that I could proceed with surgery, if that was what I wanted. He further explained that if this was the case, that it would require a graft to be taken from behind my ear during surgery to achieve better results. Again he covered my options and asked me to take some time to think about it.

I was very anxious about undergoing surgery given the previous history with my nose, but I truly appreciated the time and consideration that he took with me. It allowed me to feel more confident that the results would improve my quality of life as he did not rush the consultations, was realistic with expectations and made sure that he had all the information before deciding whether it was a surgery he was confident in undertaking.

During the initial recovery I was very swollen! It has taken some time for the swelling, especially at the tip of my nose to subside. I am now at around 1 years 2 months post surgery and I am very happy with the results and appearance, it exceeded my expectations.

If you have had prior trauma or surgery with your nose, I would absolutely recommend Mr Quaba. He is a fantastic, caring surgeon who is willing to take his time to understand your prior history before making any further permanent changes which is so important.

Thank you, Mr Quaba.
