I had a long, humped nose that I wanted smaller and straighter. The consultations that I had with this doctor were good and I was expecting a nice result; at first that is what I thought I had. As the swelling went down I was left with, in some ways, a worse nose than what I had to begin with. The surgeon seemed to have an in-depth knowledge of the nasal anatomy, he was thorough in his examination and in his explanation of a route forward. This surgeon was calm and reassuring and I thought that I was in the best possible hands. However, this surgeon failed in making my nose straight, but I guess he sort of addressed the size. The surgeon also created problems with the aesthetic of my nose that I did not previously have. Two years later I paid for a revision procedure with a different surgeon, because I did not have confidence in Mr Huw Williams' skills, who did a wonderful job - that was Mr Alwyn D'Souza who I would definitely reccommend.

I also had primary surgery with Huw Williams which left me needing a revision. I had a slight bump originally but it came but very prominent after my surgery. I was also left with a dent on the bridge of my nose as well as the tip being uneven. I had a revision with him a year later and he advised me that there’s a 90% change the bump will not reappear and cartilage from my ear was used to fixed the dent. However the bump came back worse, which makes me look like I have a very fake weird looking hump on my nose. My breathing is still terrible and I honestly regret the surgery. I felt more confident with my original nose and I have had to seek therapy because of the surgeries, the low self-esteem ans distress caused by all of this. I need a third surgery to fix all the problem that have occurred from the primary surgery. I have been trying to find a good dr abroad to fix which is now a complicated case I have been told. This will cost me much more then the pricy primary surgery with Huw Williams
Which was just over £5k a few years ago.
