Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Experience

I had a septo-rhinoplasty with Charles East to improve both my breathing, the structure and appearance of my nose, including a droopy tip and overall profile. From what I understand it was quite a technical operation and I was prepared for a tough recovery. Instead, it has been far smoother than I expected which I think really shows the high level of skill of Mr East and his team.

Before deciding, I spoke to three surgeons during my research phase and Charles was in another league. He spoke clearly, with confidence, and was incredibly thorough in examining and explaining exactly what was needed. He also listened carefully to my visual requests and worked them into the plan, and it is already clear he has delivered what we discussed.

Two weeks post-op, I was amazed at how little bruising or swelling I had. It almost made me wonder if he had even done everything we talked about. Even though it is still early and things are a touch swollen, my nose already looks great. It feels more balanced, my nostrils are better shaped, and my breathing has significantly improved from the moment I woke up. To already be able to get back to the gym (all be it lightly) and wearing my glasses again at this stage has also been a welcome surprise so early on.

It is worth noting that rhinoplasty is definitely a journey. Even when things go to plan it can make you second guess along the way, so having a clear plan to refer back to and reminding yourself of your goals is incredibly grounding.

I'm very grateful to Charles, Lydia and the whole team. The process has been supportive from start to finish and I genuinely could not have asked for a better experience so far.
