  • 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.

2.5 Years Post

Hey guys,
So I am about 2 and a half years post now and I thought I'd finally do an update! I remember when i was orignally researching this procedure, I found it hard to get hold of updates over 1 year one plus (and seeing as the nose can take so long to really settle, i was desperate to find one!) - so hopefully this helps anyone in a similar position.
I'm still absolutely thrilled with the results, haven't had any issues and the rhinoplasty is still one of the best decisions I've ever made. I couldn't be happier with it :)
I've uploaded some new/recent pics that I hope help

Updates

Hey guys,
Hope you're all well. I realised I hadn't updated my review in a while, so thought I'd post a few new pictures. Sorry some of them aren't great quality, my phone camera isn't that great! I'll try to upload some more when I get better ones.
So I'm about 8 months post now and I'm still really, really happy. It was one of the best decisions I ever made, my one regret is that I wish I'd had it done sooner!! All those years of feeling self conscious about my nose and spending ages analysing pics of myself whenever I thought it look paticularly bad. Ergh!! I guess at least I'm here now :)
One very small thing to note is that I do feel my nose has some slight asymmetries when you look at it from the front. However, I don't think it's noticeable unless you're looking for it, and even then I think it's fine. Plus, all faces have natural asymmetries anyway!
I couldn't speak more highly of Lucian Ion and his practise. I am so pleased with the results he has delivered, and the whole service from start to finish has been professional and easy. I've always felt I was in safe hands.
I actually had my check up with him a few days ago and he said there is still a bit of swelling to go down, and a bit more definition to come through. So I'm going in for another review in the middle of August. I also met some lovely ladies in the waiting room, who, if you're reading this, best of luck with your rhinoplasty journeys if you decide to proceed :)
That's it for now, thanks to everyone for their support and lovely comments

14 Weeks Post

Hey guys!

Sorry to anyone i havent replied to, i havent been on Real Self in a while! I will defininitely try to get back to everyone this week.

Also now that im about 3.5 months post, I thought I'd post some new pics. Generally im really happy with how everything is going, i love my new nose! Im so happy i got it done, i cant tell you nice it is to not feel self conscious or critical every time a pic is taken of me, or if someone is looking at me from a certain angle. It's definitely given me a confidence boost!

Anyway please shout with any questions and i hope everyone else's rhino journey is going well! x

Wait times

I'm thrilled with my results and think Lucian Ion is a talented surgeon with a great bedside manner. You really get a sense he listens to you and he is very patient and knowledgeable. As you'll see, I've rated wait times as a 4 rather than 5 star as they are lengthy, however, Mr Ion is understandably a very in demand surgeon. I've also rated email responsiveness a bit lower because sometimes the reception team could take days (and a couple of times, weeks) to respond. However, this is a minor complaint in what is, overall, a fantastic service.
