Dr. Kleid is an absolutely fantastic doctor who was able to help me breath better than I was able to for years. My surgery was to fix technical issues that I had with my nose, but decided to do a few tweaks to the appearance aswell. I am 3 months in and have a nose that not only functions properly, but also looks completely natural - people can't tell I've had a "nose job" which was very important to me. Dr. Kleid was an extremely honest doctor about what was achievable, and was always available to ask questions pre and post surgery. I genuinely could not recommend him highly enough
From initial consultation to surgery and recovery, it all went so smoothly Rhinoplasty

After contemplating rhinoplasty for many years, I am so glad when I finally did decide to get it done, I went with Stephen Kleid as my surgeon. The whole experience was straight forward and I felt at ease from the beginning. Each step, from initial consultation to surgery and recovery, it all went so smoothly, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I had septorhinoplasty, and I highly recommend Stephen Kleid to anyone considering rhinoplasty or septoplasty.
Happy with my result Septoplasty

Definitely would recommend - already see a huge improvement Rhinoplasty
10 days post-op
I have recently had a revision rhinoplasty performed by Dr Stephen Kleid. My previous surgery by a different surgeon resulted in a pollybeak deformity. I am only 1.5 weeks post surgery and despite alot of swelling still present, I can already see a huge improvement. I look forward to seeing the progress. Dr Kleid is knowledgeable, friendly, funny, honest and easy to work with. My advice to those considering a rhinoplasty, use a surgeon who has a lot of experience in rhinoplasty’s and PAY the money they ask! Otherwise you will only regret it, hate your nose and end up having to pay for a second surgery anyway! Do it once and do it properly!
Response from Dr. Stephen Kleid, MBBS, FRACS I get a lot of satisfaction from improving nasal shape and function, but even more for Revision Rhinoplasty patients, as those patients, sometimes with "botched noses", are so unhappy until I fix them.
The outcome has left me feeling more confident than ever Revision Rhinoplasty
7 months post-op
I had a rhinoplasty procedure with Dr Stephen Kleid in Melbourne 6months ago, the results have been amazing. I never thought that I would achieve a wonderful result like Dr Kleid has given me.
Dr Kleid preformed my 4th Rhinoplasty. My nose wasn’t an easy case, I have had 3 nose surgeries in the past, my nose has thick skin after these surgeries it looked un proportioned big and wide, this has always made me feel less feminine and in photos it would always show, I hated that Over the past 10 years I have been to 5 surgeons here in Melbourne/Sydney and I was advised that they could not fix it or if I proceeded with another surgery that there is a possibility of needing a skin graft on my nose or that I could only achieve a 10% improvement with a lot of risks, all I heard was NO from not confident doctors not willing to take the risks, this was scary for me and with the possibility of skin narcosis I didn't want to risk it. I had decided to live unhappy with my nose. A year ago I had a fall I went doctors and was advised there was a break in my nose and that my breathing is not good through one side and I should see a ENT surgeon I was now again feeling sad worried about my nose but I was determined to have another go finding a doctor that would straighten my nose and if possible, slim down my nose to suit me better, what I was hoping for was a straightened slimmed down nose with better breathing. This is when I found Stephen Kleid with a history of specialist surgery and expert skill in revision and being a Specialist ENT I knew after meeting him he would be the right doctor for me, his confidence was something I never felt from the other doctors over the years, his attention to detail exceeded my expectations and his realistic outcome was more than I even hoped for I decided it was time to have my surgery and booked in Dr Kleid and his team was amazing, my surgery was quick and my recovery was easy my surgery was done from the inside of my nose so no visible scaring which was great I am so glad I found Dr Kleid he showed me confidence from the start he knew he could achieve a great result from my situation and that he did! I wish I found him sooner. The outcome has left me feeling more confident than ever I highly recommend Stephen Kleid for any rhinoplasty surgery
Straightened my right nostril and resultantly, my nose's C-shape to breathe and look better Septoplasty
5 months post-op
I have had a constant wheezing sound from my nose in the nights and poor sleep problems due to impaired breathing on top of a poor shaped nose. I had met with Dr.Kleid for an open septo-rhinoplasty in April. On the first appointment itself, Dr.Kleid spotted all the wrong things over a quick 20-30 minute session without my having to voice them. He knew exactly what I wanted and needed. He showed me before and after photos through a simulation app thereafter to show what to expect. It is 5 months now and my nose looks and functions way better. He helped solve the beak like shape as well as straightening the crookedness to help straighten my right nostril and resultantly, my nose's C-shape to breathe and look better. My post op recovery was less painful than I had initially anticipated and I was given the required analgesia for any further soreness. I required some steroid shots for on the 3 month mark due to scar tissue related swelling and having thick skin in general, and this further improved my supratip swelling by almost 80%. On this 5 month mark, my scarring under my nose has completely resolved and I now look forward to my nose improving further in shape in the following 7 months. My breathing on the other hand has also improved, despite some residual runny-ness which I am sure will resolve within the coming months once it has fully healed. Overall, we compared what the simulations he showed me before surgery versus what my nose looks like now, and it is 95% identical even now at this 5 month mark. Dr.Kleid definitely "nose" what he is doing. I look forward to how it looks and feels over the coming months with great anticipation. Thank you Dr. Kleid, for addressing my physical and mental health. Regards.
Rhinoplasty and sinus surgery - I felt no pain or discomfort at any point Rhinoplasty
10 months post-op
I had sinus surgery and open rhinoplasty with Stephen Kleid in May 2022. The surgery and recovery were incredibly easy and painless. I felt NO pain or discomfort at any point. The scars were invisible within days. I wasn't even aware I had stitches. Stephen was contactable by mobile and responded immediately to any questions I had. I cannot praise him and his work enough. There is nothing that I can say that would do him justice. An amazing professional. I am very pleased with the results.

1 month post-op septorhinoplasty & nose is straighter, smaller & more balanced Septoplasty
1 month post-op
Dr. Kleid performed a septorhinoplasty on my nose. He is extremely talented and does his best to give you a nose that looks natural. Six weeks in, and I am very impressed with the results. I can breathe better (which helps my sleep apnea) and my nose looks straighter, smaller and more balanced. The care I received from Dr. Kleid and the staff at Coco Ruby as well as Masada Private Hospital is unmatched. Thankyou for such a lovely experience. Particularly to Dr. Kleid and Donna :) And to Dr. Rubinstein for establishing such an amazing place!
