I had my rhinoplasty through Berkeley Square Medical (64 Harley Street) two years ago, I am very unhappy with the results and the aftercare has been terrible. My nose has a “scooped” and upturned look, disproportionate. with the septum bone uneven and visible in both nostrils. There is also a bump on one side.

My 3 month follow up appointment was cancelled by email only 16 hours before, I had already purchased advance tickets and was already on the train when I read the email.

This was rescheduled 2 months later, I arrived shortly before the 3.00pm appointment and had waited over an hour to be seen, while people who had arrived later than me were seen first. When I entered the room Mr Shoaib looked at me blank, he had no idea why I was there. He pointed out a bump and said it was just swelling and it would soon go (it hasn’t)
I made it known I was not happy with the results however understood this was only 5 months post-surgery so had hoped things would improve

Some months later I contacted the surgery and they invited me to go in to address my concerns, I saw Sanjay and he took some photos and suggested a kenalog injection to reduce swelling. We arranged another appointment with Mr Shoaib in December

I travelled another 2 hours for the appointment and minutes before l arrived I received a call to say Mr Shoaib would not be available.

On the surface they seem attentive and caring, but this is a facade, I wish I had learnt this sooner.

Please contact me by private mail, I have had the most traumatic awful experience with dr shaoib. And I am taking things further. So sad to hear this has happened with others. I received zero afternoon and not even so much as returning a phone call for 3 years!

I’d be up for helping with this too. It’s been 2 years for me and I felt so powerless to say anything because of the manner in which I was treated.

I completely agree with everything you've said, I had the exact same experience as you. I've now written a review to help people who are considering having rhinoplasty with him in the future but it isn't showing up. I noticed all the negative reviews get put at the bottom and are very difficult to find. I hope people see this! AWFUL experience

One of the biggest mistakes of my life! Rhinoplasty with this surgeon. Not interested in dissatisfaction as mentioned in previous review.

So sorry to hear this! I completely agree with you. If you feel up to it I’d write a review to help people considering him! I wish there had been honest reviews before I chose him. Good luck with everything x

:( I’ve had the same experience! The aftercare was horrendous!! The nursing’s staff were really bad, I just woke up from my op and I had a nurse aggressive pull me up and make me move to another bed. I had my nose cast pulled from my face by a male nurse a week after my surgery! I was telling him to stop and I remember saying I didn’t think it would be this difficult to get off he ignored and kept him pulling. Unfortunately I think he caused damage to my nose, I have a bump and an indent where he pressed down to get the cast off. Having now looked up videos of cast removals I can see what i experienced was wrong. Stay away from these people. The surgeon couldn’t care less about me after and said my nose is ok and that it’s my own body creating extra Cartlidge.
