Surgeon and Artist! Dorsal Hump Removed and Nose Now Straight.

I first met Duncan in March 2023 for my first consultation, during which I never felt rushed and felt Duncan took the time to understand my desires. I was initially worried that Duncan would feel that my small hump wasn’t worth surgery however I felt he understood my motivations. I was conveyed the risks and at no point was I ever rushed to make a decision. Duncan let me take away a couple of morphs so I could think about my preferred aesthetic outcome. After our first meeting, I felt Duncan and I were on the same page.

Duncan’s assistant helped me book the surgery and I received everything from the quotes to the booking confirmations promptly. I had a final consultation with Duncan to confirm my preferred morph and answer any questions. Dr. Rajesh, the anesthetist, was also in touch with me before surgery to answer any questions about the anesthesia. I was hugely grateful for this personal touch since I was very nervous about ‘being put under’.

I decided to have the surgery performed at The Real Clinic. The clinic was also very prompt in making arrangements and found a more suitable cast removal appointment. The clinic is very private and clean without being too sterile. I would highly recommend The Real Clinic.

My surgery was booked early in the morning which suited me from a fasting perspective. I was booked into the clinic by Richard. I was so nervous before the surgery but Richard immediately made me feel at ease. His demeanor is super positive and he had me smiling within seconds. I met with Duncan before the surgery to talk about the plan and he answered any final questions. Duncan’s bedside manner is impeccable and I started to get excited about seeing the results. Finally, I met with Dr. Rajesh whose knowledge and professionalism put me at complete ease, he was wholly empathetic of my nerves and appreciated that it was my first time under general anesthesia.

I woke up after surgery feeling great. I didn’t feel any nausea or pain. I was able to eat and drink almost immediately. I felt attended to by the duty nurse. My partner also appreciated being called by the clinic and being told that I was okay straight after the surgery.

My recovery was slightly uncomfortable but uneventful. I slept upright until my cast removal and was patient with myself. Having help around the house was very useful. I could eat and drink like normal so wasn’t limited to liquid foods. Moving around the house and going for walks helped me. I was most concerned about wearing my contact lenses more often but found an eye ointment to wear at night which made my dry eye disappear! By week 2 I looked and felt completely normal. I started back at the gym by week 3 but was limited to walking on the treadmill and very light cable movements. By week 8, Duncan had given me the all-clear and I was back at the gym full time, I felt no swelling or pressure around my nose when doing heavier movements.

The results have exceeded my expectations completely. My motivation for the surgery was to remove the hump however, Duncan managed to straighten my nose from the front as well as remove the hump. My nose looks like the nose I was supposed to be born with. The scars are barely noticeable after 3 months. My nose now looks completely natural and the surgery was virtually unnoticeable to my friends and colleagues even though it’s a huge change when I look in the mirror. Furthermore, Duncan fixed a hidden deviation meaning my breathing is better than before. I can’t thank Duncan enough for his work, I would wholeheartedly recommend Duncan.
