I am still in the process of finding a surgeon, I'm from Scotland and there is only the Spire hospital here that carries out this survey, so In having to travel a bit to find a good surgeon. Hoping to reduce the bump and change the tip - need my nose straigtened / realigned ... and overall have a nice nose! Any feedback on procedure would help loads! Would also like some suggestions of British surgeons who can help if anyone has any!!

That's who I was looking into, I've seen some really good reviews about him. I also see he has been doing this for 25 years which is a good sign! I haven't yet, I have a consultation next Tuesday at Mya in Newcastle, I'm in two minds whether or not to go with them, seen some mixed reviews! How was your consultation with Dr Quaba?

I want it done as soon as possible! I've put it off for like 3 years.. So I've had a long time to think about it. I called for my consultation today and it's next Wednesday. Did you pick a date for surgery or did he tell you availability? I'm keen to get it done asap. Aww thank you so much, I'm excited to see him now!! Good luck for your surgery when it comes!! Xx

How much is rhinoplasty with quaba? And is he really good? I cant find much info on him?

Ken Stewart at Spire Edinburgh did my rhinoplasty. I have no hesitation in recommending him. I was undecided between him or Mr Quaba but very pleased I went with Mr Stewart.

I am now 47 days post op - and am loving my new nose! I still feel a teeny bit fragile at the tip where the cartilage was put in but other than that feels like i never went under the knife! I had a little pain where my scar is for a while, it felt like there was a tiny little lump and the other day i got a little worried as i itched it and felt a sharp pain, i probably shouldnt have but i decided to pick it thinking it was just dry skin.... it was a little piece of stitch that had obviously snapped off when the nurse was taking them out, i dont blame the nurse at all as she would never have been able to get it out it was so small, im just glad i actually got it out. so since then my scar seems to be healing really well, no bumps anymore. Best decision i have ever made and the only regret i have is that i didn't do it sooner! the first week of recovery was a breeze for me, i definitely prepared myself for the worst and was really surprised at how easy it was for me, maybe i read too many horror stories! i will post some recent pictures as the ones posted were the first day the cast was removed :)
