Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Experience

I had a septo-rhinoplasty with Charles East to improve both my breathing, the structure and appearance of my nose, including a droopy tip and overall profile. From what I understand it was quite a technical operation and I was prepared for a tough recovery. Instead, it has been far smoother than I expected which I think really shows the high level of skill of Mr East and his team. Before deciding, I spoke to three surgeons during my research phase and Charles was in another league. He spoke clearly, with confidence, and was incredibly thorough in examining and explaining exactly what was needed. He also listened carefully to my visual requests and worked them into the plan, and it is already clear he has delivered what we discussed. Two weeks post-op, I was amazed at how little bruising or swelling I had. It almost made me wonder if he had even done everything we talked about. Even though it is still early and things are a touch swollen, my nose already looks great. It feels more balanced, my nostrils are better shaped, and my breathing has significantly improved from the moment I woke up. To already be able to get back to the gym (all be it lightly) and wearing my glasses again at this stage has also been a welcome surprise so early on. It is worth noting that rhinoplasty is definitely a journey. Even when things go to plan it can make you second guess along the way, so having a clear plan to refer back to and reminding yourself of your goals is incredibly grounding. I'm very grateful to Charles, Lydia and the whole team. The process has been supportive from start to finish and I genuinely could not have asked for a better experience so far.

I Could Not Be Happier!

Other surgeons had refused to do my complicated nose! I had a short, bulbous nose, it took both Charles and Lydia 5 hours to complete with a rib graft. I was so nervous and they have both been incredible, they genuinely care. I have had so many follow up calls and appointments. To say I love my new nose is an understatement, everyone around me can’t believe the transformation. I have not experienced any pain or black eyes, they are true artists at what they do. Yes it was expensive but it was well worth it, and you most definitely pay for what you get. This was a primary surgery and I’m so happy I chose the right surgeons first time. I’m so thankful to both of them my experience and my new nose!

Incredible Surgeon and Amazing Results and Experience

Having rhinoplasty performed by Mr East is the best decision I have ever made. He is an incredible, world-class surgeon. I am only one week post surgery - I have no bruising and my nose is perfect. It completely exceeds all my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the results and overall experience. I had a deviated septum (my nose was crooked from a front-on view, twisting to the left). I also had a bulbous tip, and a high and wide bridge. All my complaints have been remedied. My nose is now straight front-on, my tip is more refined and I have a gentler/more feminine bridge and profile. My nose looks even better than the morphs created in my consultation. But importantly it also looks very natural. Mr East is not only a skilled surgeon but also a kind and compassionate doctor. I highly recommend Mr East to anyone seeking the best in surgical care. Thank you for your outstanding work - I am forever grateful!

I couldn't be happier with the results!

Dr. East truly changed my life in both form and function. He took the time to fully understand what I wanted to achieve, made me feel comfortable that he would do what I wanted and he did it better than I would have imagined. I feel like and look like myself, which was very important to me with this surgery, but with the exact adjustments I always wished for! I couldn't be happier with the results!! As for function, I used to get horrible migraines more than twice a week due to obstructed breathing, along with many other breathing issues, and I am so happy to say that since surgery I have not had one migraine and all breathing related issues are gone! The process was very smooth too!

I couldn't be happier with the result—it's truly changed my life

Had a revision Rhinoplasty about 6 months ago, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome, all thanks to Mr. Charles East. I couldn't be happier with the result—it's truly changed my life. Chose Mr. East because, after doing my research, it was clear he's the best in the UK. And his skill to create natural-looking noses is exactly what I was after, and exactly what I got. Surgery wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. Walking into that theatre, knowing I had the best possible surgeon gave me so much confidence. Especially after a previous unsuccessful rhinoplasty, it was a relief. I got to choose my nose exactly how I wanted it, and that's precisely how Mr. East delivered it—exactly as I envisioned. Thank you to the whole team—they were amazing. Even let me change my surgery date without a fuss. I did experience a moment of uncertainty when I came across a negative review on an unverified site. However, following my conversation with Mr. East, I had a strong gut feeling that he was indeed the right surgeon for me, and I'm grateful I trusted it. For recovery, I had minimal bruising, just about a week downtime. Can't recommend Mr. East and his team enough for their expertise and support. Forever grateful!

Charles East team are brilliant and caring

I had my revision rhinoplasty with Charles East and I am genuinely happy to a degree I never thought was possible. His experience and knowledge was obvious from the first video consultation. I had made the mistake of having my first rhinoplasty done by a turkish surgeon who works in London and I stupidly believed his self proclaimed kingdom. Charles East team are brilliant and caring, I was scared of going through another operation but I feel nothing buy relief and joy that I can now get past my turkish nightmare. In wanting to save money I have had to pay twice.

Very positive! 6 weeks into rhinoplasty healing & swelling has subsided

I am extremely pleased I chose Dr East to perform my septorhinoplasty at the beginning of 2024. It was very important to me that the result is subtle, not exaggerated, and natural. Dr East honoured my request whilst improving the things in my nose I didn't like. He is certainly a very skilled surgeon and an artist in his field, and I am glad I put my trust in him. Him and his team have been excellent throughout the whole experience. The hospital care was of highest standard too. I am now 6 weeks into my healing journey and the swelling has subsided significantly, and my breathing returned to normal. I can't wait to see the result 3 months post op after the residual swelling subsides even more. I would highly recommend Dr East to anyone who is considering a rhinoplasty and whose highest priority is a natural result.

My breathing has improved to an appreciable extent

My experience with Mr East was the gold-standard, from start to finish. Mr East is, of course a highly skilled surgeon, with the "good hands" to which medics refer but this is combined real aesthetic flair. The aesthetic outcome for me has been pretty much exactly as envisaged, which Mr East demonstrated to me by electronic refinement of my photographs prior to surgery. The surgery was more straightforward and the recovery much more swift than I had anticipated and it was very reassuring to receive (unsolicited) calls from Mr East to check on my progress. From a functional perspective, my breathing has improved to an appreciable extent.

My recovery was smooth, with minimal swelling and absolutely no bruising

I cannot express how profoundly grateful I am for choosing Dr. Charles East to perform my revision rhinoplasty. Mr. East's unparalleled expertise and remarkable skills have truly transformed my life. The Perilous Journey: My journey to finding Dr. East began with a regrettable first rhinoplasty experience, where I was misled by marketing tactics and entrusted my nose to a surgeon who fell short of expertise. The aftermath left me with asymmetry and breathing issues, prompting a second revision by the same surgeon, which only exacerbated the problem. A Second Chance at Perfection: With my self-confidence diminishing, I knew that I needed to find a surgeon of the highest caliber to rectify the situation. Dr. Charles East was the beacon of hope I desperately needed. My case was far from straightforward, given the complexities left behind by my previous surgeon, but Mr. East tackled it with unparalleled precision and skill. Exemplary Skills: Dr. East's attention to detail and surgical finesse resulted in an outcome that exceeded all my expectations. My recovery was smooth, with minimal swelling and absolutely no bruising, a testament to Mr. East's surgical expertise. Aesthetic Symmetry and Joy Restored: Today, I am overjoyed to say that my nose is beautifully symmetrical, and I have regained the confidence that was once lost. Choosing Dr. Charles East for my revision rhinoplasty was not just the right decision; it was the only decision that mattered. His exceptional skill and commitment to his patients are second to none. In Dr. East, I found not only a surgeon but a true artist, and I can confidently say that he is, without a doubt, simply the best in the field. I am forever thankful to Dr. Charles East for giving me a second chance at confidence and happiness. If you are seeking excellence in rhinoplasty, look no further than the remarkable expertise of Dr. Charles East.
