How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

5 months in - South Asian rhinoplasty
Thought I'd write a quick 5 month update on my rhinoplasty... And I'm thrilled to say it just gets better everyday!
There is still some swelling around the tip but I'm so very happy with the shape and how well it fits my face!
Dr De Silva really balanced out my face and while no one outside of my immediate family and best friends know that I had the procedure, (exactly as I'd hoped) everyone comments on how happy I look!

1 day since cast off
Had my cast removed yesterday! (Yay)
Having read a few experiences on here I was nervous, but I'm glad to say that it was absolutely fiiiinne!
Cast eased off gently, stitches came out with a few tugs and Dr gave me a couple of shots of cortisone (I'm still numb so again no big deal) - and we were done!
He then showed me how to tape my nose and that was that!
The swelling is (to me) very obvious but I'm already soooo happy with my nose. Dr De Silva has done an absolutely FANTASTIC job!
My profile is now hump free and smooth. From the front, it looks wide but there's a long road ahead and even despite the swelling it's made such a huge and positive difference to my overall face!
I look forward to the swelling going down!

POD 6 - update
OH EM GEE - cast comes off tomorrow!
I'm very excited for it to come off but I'm also scared about what lies underneath! Weird fear all of a sudden but cold feet is a bit redundant now...
I can see that the tip and base are swollen so I'm just going to focus on the profile tomorrow - will post some more pictures once I am cast free :)

Provider Review
Oculoplastic Surgeon, Specialist Registered in Ophthalmology

Dr De Silva was calm, realistic and professional. I have so far only had a consultation with him, but I'm impressed and I have booked my rhinoplasty to take place 26/02/16.
