Lifechanging Results
I first met Duncan towards the end of last year to discuss my suitability for a septorhinoplasty. I did not like how my nose looked (dorsal hump and droopy tip), but I also really struggled to breathe through both nostrils, which became especially difficult during exercise; a problem I have had ever since I can remember. As I got older, all problems seem to worsen, so I decided to take the plunge and meet Duncan, whose reviews and results I was impressed with when researching online.
In our first consultation at the clinic, I was a little bit nervous (excited, too!), but I immediately felt at ease due to Duncan's calm and welcoming nature. When you're meeting a surgeon who might be operating on you, you want to feel safe and secure in their presence, and also reassured that they know what they're doing, which I was. When discussing my issues and explaining what I was hoping to achieve from a potential surgery, I felt very confident that Duncan understood my perspective. He was transparent and detailed about the procedure and explained all the possible and potential outcomes of the surgery. Aesthetically, the morph he created for me was exactly what I was hoping for as well. I wanted my dorsal hump and droopy tip to be fixed without it being an obviously noticeable, drastic change; I wanted a subtle and conservative correction. He said it was realistic and even went into detail about how he would achieve it, so I knew we were on the same page and we were both aiming for the same outcome. Regarding the breathing, he said there was a chance that my breathing might not improve, but he would certainly do what he could without it drastically changing my appearance. My expectations were absolutely set and I decided he was the right surgeon for me.
Following the consultation, he sent a letter confirming everything we discussed, and we had a further virtual consultation nearer the surgery date just to make sure. Leading up to the surgery, I felt confident about our communication. On the day of the surgery, before the operation, we met again to recap what we were aiming to fix: dorsal hump, droopy tip and breathing issues. He even had the morph with him, which reassured me that we were aiming for the same goal. Immediately after the surgery, as I was recovering from the anaesthesia, he came in to see me to let me know that the surgery went well and that he thought I would be really pleased...
Fast-forward to six weeks post-op: I cannot tell you how impressed and happy I am with my results. My nose looks very similar to the morph we created and my 'new' nose suits my face so much more now. A real skill that Duncan has is that he has been able to address both the dorsal hump and droopy tip without it changing my face - some people haven't even noticed I've had surgery. I definitely look better, but I don't look like a different person!
The recovery period has been really positive, also. Of course, the first week is a little uncomfortable since you are swollen, blocked up and have a cast on your face, but the bleeding, bruising and pain was minimal. By week two, I noticed a huge improvement already and, by week three or four, I think I looked pretty normal. There have been a few gradual changes over the weeks as your nose and bones heal, which is to be expected, but I was anticipating the recovery period to be far, far worse than it has been. I put it all down to the fact Duncan is just an incredible surgeon.
The biggest success, though, is the breathing. I have never been able to breathe as clearly as I can now in all my life. Duncan prepared me that my breathing might not improve (because you never know what's going on behind your nose until you operate), but he did it - and the improvement has been lifechanging.
My experience with Duncan - from the first consultation up until now - really couldn't be better. I am super happy with the entire process and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
