Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

After seeing so many ''known'' and highly advertised surgeons I finally end up seeing Dr Ian .From the moment I met him and after our first consultation I just knew that he is the person to go with .
The way he examined me and explained everything is incomparable with other surgeons I have seen.
Like a previous person has stated Dr Ian has done exactly what he explained he will do . The nose looks natural and perfectly suits my face.
I ended up having few different procedures at once and cutting depressor-septi muscle too due to pulling my tip down .
Recovery took longer than I expected to be . I had internal splints for 2 weeks and I couldn't breath . My lips swelled up so bad that I coudnt talk for at least a week . I was badly bruised everywhere my eyelids were closing and my whole face was looking like a chipmunk for a good 3- 4 weeks.
It has been 8 weeks now and Im still healing . I have a tiny little bump on the bridge that Dr Ian said its due to healing process where cartilage is forming on the top and will disappear.
I forgot to mention that I staid in Canbrini hospital overnight and Im so happy I did. I cant imagine going home . Hospital staff took a very good care of me and Im so happy I staid there
Dr Ian was also available over the phone If I ever had any concerns or questions even before my follow up appointments.
I have already seen Dr Ian twice so far and my third appointment is on its way :)
I also wanted to mention that due to depressor septi muscle being cut my smile was changed and I couldn't smile as I used too .. my top lip was stiff and dropped down a bit . This is slowly getting back to normal
Also took me much longer for my stitches to came out ,they are dissolvable and usually they disappear within 2 weeks but Im a very slow healer so took me 4 weeks for all stitches to come out ( external one where cut was done )
Advice : Make sure you buy dry mouth spray as for the first 2 weeks you will only breath through your mouth . The biggest challenge is swallowing and eating and breathing at the same time. If i didnt have this spray I wouldn't be able to get any sleep due to dryness and when I say dryness I mean sahara desert one.
Also its recommended to sleep in upwords position I spent 2 weeks on recliner chair . Actually almost 3 weeks as i was pretty swollen .
To finish this review I will just quote newnosetime88 person as I totally and 100 % agree with her statement
''The surgeon I ended up choosing cost half the price of the others (including consultation), listened to everyone of my concerns (no matter how many times he would have heard the same things from others), took the time to answer every single one of my questions, was patient and even just before going in to surgery, he again asked me "this morning before coming when you looked in the mirror, what were the main things you were not happy with? Along with that, he organises to see you regularly for the following year for free just to make sure everything is going okay. And if you have any concerns, he will see you.
I felt very well looked after!''
I couldn't say better myself :)
