I have thought as about my nose every day since I was 14, which means I have though about it every day for the past 38 years and imagined what it would be like to have a small, feminine nose, instead of a sharp and angular masculine beak.
I have decided to go ahead with rhinoplasty, but am very nervous about finding the right surgeon, due to the amount of emotional investment in this, for me. I will be devasted if I go through with an operation, only to find a nose I don't like, so am seeking a surgeon who will work with me to agree a shape of nose.
After much research, I am booked for a consultation with Mr Tahery on 13 June, to discuss rhinoplasty and possibly a facelift.
I have a very set idea of how I want my nose and am hoping he will agree to it. I wish to have a small button nose, but the problem is that I know this is not fashionable in the UK at the moment and most UK surgeons seem to want to avoid this look.
I would be grateful for comments from others who have had either rhinoplasty or a facelift with him. In particular, is he happy to work with the patient to agree a nose shape, or will he be telling me?
I only wish to have the procedure done once in my life
Many thanks in anticipation of your feedback xx

Hi,, good luck for your consultation. I have my surgery with him on the 22nd July. He will go through everything with you and see if it's possible what you want. A lot depends on skin thickness and what he has to work with but he did a scan over my nose similar. To what you have when you have a baby scan but on your nose instead. Lol. I've been waiting all my life for this since start of high school and I am now 48!! Hope all goes well xx

Thank you Tia!
I would be very happy if you let me know how it goes!

Yes I'm nervous but I'm ready for it. If I have doubts I only have to look at my profile and I know that I need to do it. Makes me sad. Let me know how you get on x

Consultation with Jawed Tahery

milleniummaria
I have now met with five surgeons in total (2 in the UK, 1 from Spain, 1 from Lebanon and 1 from America), prior to choosing the right person. Only Jawed Tahery and one other listened to what I was saying regarding my nose (wanting a little scoop) and only Mr Tahery and one other gave me an fully inclusive price, which did not then have hidden extras added. These extras can potentially add thousands to the overall cost. Mr Tahery was extremely patient, in terms of listening to my concerns and anxieties and has offered me an extremely competitive package, which includes all of the improvements I need, whilst at the same time avoiding unneccesary surgery for a couple of smaller issues. By doing this, he has enabled me to have all of the surgery I need, within budget, plus some extra non-surgical touches, which will revitalize my face. The previous week, I had flown to London to meet with another surgeon. The consultation meeting was scheduled for 30 minutes, but it was very rushed and I only spent 10 minutes with the surgeon, the rest of the time being form filling. It was very much a conveyer belt approach, with lots of glossy leaflets shoved into my hands. In complete contrast, Mr Tahery actually spent over the scheduled time with me, in order to discuss in detail some anxieties I have regarding my eventual nose shape, as I wish for a slightly scooped look, which is not currently popular in the UK. I was envisaging that I might have to go abroad to achieve this look, but he took my wishes on board so that we could come to a compromise, which incorporates both what I desire, with what is possible and aesthetic. I very much appreciate the fact that Mr Tahery listened to my concerns and was kind enough to give me the time to look at the options and discuss solutions. His personal assistant, Lisa is lovely and has been extremely helpful from the outset. She managed to find me a short-notice surgery date at the exact time I wanted and has answered all my questions, as well as giving me useful information about travel and location when I visit. Prior to meeting with this surgeon, I was feeling apprehensive and wondering whether I was doing the right thing, opting for elective surgery. But having attended Mr Tahery's office and meeting with him and Lisa, I feel fully confident that I am in 100% safe hands. I am now able to look forward to my surgery date, which is 25 June!!!

Hi
Good luck with your surgery, can you please tell me how much the whole cost will be as I'm also looking to have the same surgeries as yourself early next year.

I would make sure you do all your research and not just go with the best price as I think you may be disappointed x
