Primary and Revision Rhinoplasty Arup Ray, Glasgow
UPDATED FROM angelanosebest
On being unsatisfied with the end result and having a revision
$6,033
I've not posted here for a while as life has gotten in the way, but a quick catch up:
- I wasn't happy with the end result. My nose looked good for the first few weeks and points throughout my first rhinoplasty, but after the swelling had all subsided my nose began to go back to how it used to look.
- It took quite a long time for Mr Ray to agree to a revision, and a lot of hoops to jump through. This shouldn't have been the case as I hadn't been given what I paid for.
- I had my revision in October 2018 so my nose is still in the early stages of healing. When I first got my cast off there was a visable difference.
- The swelling has been really bad and I know it may take 2 years to see a result, hence my 'not sure' on this post, because I don't know what the end result will be as of yet.
One piece of advice for anyone considering rhinoplasty (whether that's in Scotland or worldwide), do not settle! Do your research. Be thorough. Be patient. Find the right surgeon for you. Use up your whole consultation slot. Don't let any surgeon push you out the door. They are being paid thousands for these procedures so make sure they are doing everything they should be. Make sure you ask every single question you have ever considered about a rhinoplasty.
Lastly, for anyone in the Glasgow area considering rhinoplasty, one surgeon I would recommend you book a consultation with is Awf Quaba. He is highly skilled in rhinoplasty, in fact he specalises in it. He was the first surgeon I saw but I opted to see other surgeons and this is where my decision took me. I have regrets about that.
I'll upload some photos of my journey so far with my revision.
Good luck to anyone looking to get surgery done.

I disagree, I had rhinoplasty done by Awf Quaba and was disappointed with the final result. It had improved from the side but my nose is now bent from the front. He added filler in to even it which obviously only lasted about a year. It has been 3 years since my surgery and I am planning a revision surgery.

Oh, that's not great. They both seem to have issues then. I'm not 100% happy with my revision from Ray either.

Does you current result even remotely look like the morph?

I would say not really. It does from the side at certain angles, but my nose changes a lot throughout the week. It still swells quite a lot, so I'm trying to be patient to see what the end result will be. My revision was 14 months ago so there's still swelling D: I'll need to upload a more recent photo

Thanks for posting this, Mr Ray is the surgeon I am thinking of and your review and pictures have been really helpful.
How are things now, are you still glad you had the procedure done x

Hi Claire, sorry for my late reply! What did you decide to do? My nose progressively returned to how it used to look so I had to get a revision done. Which was very difficult to get Ray to agree to. It hasn't been a pleasant experience (surgeries were both okay) but Ray wasn't very.. cooperative. It's only been 5 months since my revision but hopefully the end result will be what I asked for/paid for! :)

Hi, thank you for your post, it's great to see someone's journey and have been considering this surgeon as well. Would you recommend? I just tried to look at your Instagram you mentioned above, have you need to have revision surgery? Can I ask why you felt this was required? Thanks

Hi there, I'm sorry for my late reply! I would recommend you shop around first, check out Awf Quaba, he is also in Glasgow and he specalises in rhinoplasty. I'm not sure I would recommend Arup Ray. My nose went back to how it used to look and Ray was very adamant he wasn't going to do a revision. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get him to agree to it, and throughout the process he made out I was just being picky and that he hadn't messed up. I'm not sure what the end result of my revision will look like as I'm only 5 months in, I've probably got to wait until the 2 year mark, but the fact that I needed a revision in the first place is probably not very reassuring. Good luck!
Thanks for coming back and sharing wisdom after some time has passed. Good luck with the revision!
