Exceptional Surgeon
I had already undergone three rhinoplasties, yet I still had a very bulbous tip and had been unhappy with my nose since I was five years old. Over the course of 20 years, I searched for the right surgeon. I even consulted three highly experienced rhinoplasty surgeons on Harley Street, but each of them turned me down, saying my nose was beyond repair. As a doctor myself, I was fortunate that a surgical colleague recommended Mr. Cavale. From my very first consultation, I felt an instant sense of trust. He struck me as incredibly skilled —he underpromised, but seemed super confidence. Importantly, he never pressured me into surgery, instead presenting it as a sensible and reasonable option. On the day of surgery, I was understandably nervous, but the entire team at The Real Clinic was relaxed, competent, and reassuring without being overbearing. My anaesthetist was also extremely calm and confident, which made me feel safe as I went under. Now, just one month post–revision rhinoplasty, I really like my new nose- it’s so cute already! It was open surgery and I am waiting for the alar base scars to fade. My nose looks refined yet natural—exactly what I asked for. I didn’t want a “Barbie” nose, a Turkish-style nose job, a pinched Michael Jackson–like tip, or an over-lowered bridge. I also wanted to avoid tiny nostrils or an over-shortened columella. Mr. Cavale listened carefully and delivered on every point. One of my initial hesitations was that much of Mr. Cavale’s work appears to be breast surgery, and I worried rhinoplasty might not be his strength. I couldn’t have been more wrong—he is so good! The paradox of Mr Cavale is that he transforms your nose completely, yet somehow allows it to remain recognisably your own. As both a patient and a doctor, I truly believe Mr. Cavale is one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the UK. What impressed me just as much as his surgical skill is that he seems like a genuinely decent human being. His still works in the NHS which is really important for me when choosing a surgeon. His charitable work with children also made me think he is the right surgeon for me. A month on, I love my nose. Mr. Cavale has given me the nose I’ve dreamed of since childhood.
