I have been wanting to get Rhinoplasty for a number of years and have been putting it on hold for financial reason and research into the best surgeon for the job.
Winter last year I had two consultations with Basim Matti, I selected him for the time being due to prior research on forums, such as the old version of realself and sofeminine. With many reviews describing a great experience, and perfect results. I however was put off by Basim Matti from the 2nd consultation, he was very rushed and he didn't seem to answer many of my questions, I would not feel comfortable for him to do my surgery. This experience has encouraged me to dig further into researching the best rhinoplasty surgeon for me and am in need of some assistance by others.

There are four surgeons I have in mind and I would like to know if any others have come across or even had an surgery with these surgeons.
The four surgeons are:
Dr. Lucien Ion (FRCS)
Julian De Silva (MBBS) (MD)
Ian Mackay
Dr. Rajan Uppal (MBBS) (FRCS)

All of these surgeons have excellent reviews, Dr. Lucian Ion in particular. The two who specialise in facial surgery are Julian De Silva, however is young and Ian Mackay.

In terms of surgeons credentials who are more advisable in regards to just rhinoplasty? i.e. MBBS, MD, FRCS etc.

Any other surgeons you recommended for rhinoplasty?

If anyone has had a great rhinoplasty experience, could you please note the surgeon's name, cost, wait times etc.

Thank you in advance.
Any other notes I haven't stated will be appreciated.

From my research Ian Mackay has now retired, so you wouldn't be able to see him.
I have seen Matti, like yourself, Lucian Ion and Mike Tyler. At the minute I'm torn between Lucian Ion and Mike Tyler so am going to see them both again before making a decision.

I hope this helps!

Good luck with your search. Please keep us updated on how it all goes.

Here's a list of questions to ask at consultations. I'm really glad you are doing your homework as finding the right doctor goes a long way toward a successful rhinoplasty outcome.

As Jennie has pointed out, Ian Mackay has retired the other surgeon in placement was Julian Rowe Jones.

Go and see Ivo Gwanmesia, I just had a consultation today, He was very nice, calm and reassuring and knew what he was talking about.

His website is very impressive too, lots of before and after pictures of very good rhinoplasty procedures.

he listened to everything I was saying and asking and gave honest answers.

Good luck :-)

Also, Ivo Gwanmesia is a craniofacial reconstructive surgeon, which gives me more confidence than just a plastic surgeon.

Hi. I don't know if you've found a surgeon but I went to Mr Lucian ion wife Angelica Kavouni. They are both based at the same place and she was amazing with all my facial aesthetic surgery.
I'm sure mr ion is great also
