Rhinoplasty
I first made contact with centre for surgery back in June. I have wanted to have a rhinoplasty since my early teens and was finally in a place where it was possible. I spoke with Emily, explained my concerns with my nose and ended up having a long chat about it all, as well as my upcoming wedding in September. Emily was SO helpful, kind, understanding and supportive, sharing her own journey and made me feel really comfortable and confident in the clinic. I booked an appointment to see Dr Jabir a few weeks after my call.
Meeting with Dr Jabir I was nervous, but had googled him prior to my appointment. I found he works for the NHS in my local hospital and every review I could find was 5*. This was reflected when I met him. He is a very calm, empathetic doctor. I have seen other surgeons previously and often felt rushed or silly with some of my questions. I didnât feel that once with Dr Jabir. My consultation was quite lengthy in comparison to others, he asked lots of questions about what I was hoping to achieve and told me what was realistic and what I can expect as an outcome. A few days later I recieved the morphs he created and I cried. It was perfect. He had listened to everything I said and encapsulated it perfectly and I knew then I was making the right decision going with him.
I emailed in and asked for previous patient photos, which were sent over very quickly. Dr Jabirâs natural results on his previous patients and the fine tuning rather than total upheaval was the final thing that I needed to make my decision.
Dr Jabir insisted on a second consultation before I could book the surgery - which I was actually really impressed with. It shows how he genuinely cares for his patients and their happiness rather than securing the booking. Again this consultation was lengthy, we discussed pre and post op care to get the best results, made sure I was 100% happy with the morphs and what to expect in early healing.
Emily was on leave at this time so I was then discussing appointments etc with Lidia. Again my interactions with her were brilliant. She made sure my date was secured and then when I had an absolute meltdown with nerves, she took time out of her day to call me, go through my concerns and reassure me. She offered to move the date if I wished to and gave me time to think it over. Her phone call really helped steady my nerves and I am so grateful to her for taking the time to do that for me when I know how busy she must be!! Without her I may have backed out, which I canât imagine now. So a very special thank you to her particularly.
The day of surgery came and again, faultless. The nurses were all so lovely, so reassuring and patient with me when I was so nervous. Dr Jabir came and saw me before and made sure I was happy with the plan, the anaesthetist too was so lovely. On waking up I was walked out to my partners car by the nurses. They are all the kindest team.
Dr Jabir called me later that day or the next day (I was in a bit of a blur at this time!) to check in and help reassure me when I was nervous about the tip of my nose. Again, totally patient with me and understanding.
My recovery was easy. Stuffy the first 2/3 days but otherwise totally pain free. I had minimal bruising and swelling which I put down to Dr Jabirâs technique and pre and post op advice. Any question I had regarding the tape or cleaning was answered quickly. The nurses regularly checked in to see how I was doing and offered to see me to replace some tape that was covering my eye (I didnât end up needing this appointment).
Cast off day, I was so excited but a little nervous. The nurse who removed my stitches was so gentle - I didnât feel a thing!!! And then came the revealâŠ
My nose is better than I could have ever hoped for. It is everything I have ever wanted or dared to imagine could be mine. My confidence has immediately soared and Iâm still so, so early into healing so I know it will only get better.
I just cannot thank - or recommend - this clinic enough. Everyone from start to finish have been brilliant. This was a huge deal for me, as all surgery is and as someone with a bit of a nervous disposition, I wouldnât go anywhere else if I ever wanted something doing again. The team are genuinely fantastic.
If youâre considering going here, I would strongly recommend going for it. You are in the safest of hands and the outcome you will receive will be everything you wanted and more.
Thank you to every single person that has been involved in my care, I am so grateful.
