Long Awaited Septo-rhinoplasty - London, GB

I wrote my original review very quickly after surgery, when the nose was still swollen & in hindsight, I should have waited until the final result was visible. Unfortunately, once the final result became apparent, it is clear that I have been left with issues requiring complex revision with rib grafting. I have nasal deviation, tip asymmetry, a bump on the left side, high tip position, asymmetrical nostrils & a nose that runs constantly. Add to that the visible septum/scar tissue & it’s not a pretty sight.

I did follow this up with Mr Solomos a couple of years after my surgery & was told he could not help with the issues I had been left with as he did not perform that type of complex revision surgery. He referred me to another Harley Medical surgeon who he said could do the type of surgery I need, but upon consulting with him it was clear he did not want to help & focussed more on telling me the issues were in my head.

Having consulted with 2 further surgeons who specialise in complex revision, it is clear the issues are not my head at all & are very real!

For my original surgery, I went on recommendation from Harley Street Medical & failed to conduct my own significant research - again, hindsight being the wonderful thing that is, I shouldn’t have done that & should have conducted more in depth research before undergoing surgery. That is a mistake I will not make again.

Swelling still going down but still happy!!
