I apologise in advance for the length of my review, however I know anyone who is considering surgery will be very grateful to read the details of everything I am going to write... I had been considering Rhinoplasty & Breast Augmentation surgery in Dubai for quite a while, I visited a number of surgeons but the one person that I was eager to meet was Dr Rory, not only had I heard great things about him, I had been left a little dubious about other surgeons I had met here and just never felt comfortable enough to make the decision to book the surgery and go ahead.... Consultation - from the first time myself & my partner met Dr Rory he made us feel completely at ease, he was extremely knowledgeable about the procedures we were discussing, and he just seemed to 'get it' when I explained what it was I was particularly trying to achieve. Every patient is different and it was nice to feel that I was getting a consultation that was solely in regard to my particular requests, concerns and ultimately what could be achieved from surgery. After the consultation I made the decision to go ahead and have Rhinoplasty & breast augmentation (procedure at the same time). Next Steps - Dr Rory's assistant Donna was fantastic in providing constant follow up with all the next steps leading up to surgery. This was really comforting to know that every appointment was booked in, I knew exactly when things were going to happen (e.g blood tests, hospital checks etc) and just a really friendly message to check I was feeling prepared and ready for surgery - this personal touch goes such a long way, and for that I was extremely grateful and it really calmed my nerves. Surgery - I had sleepless nights leading up to the surgery, I really expected it to be the worst! It was honestly not bad AT ALL! What I had conjured up in my head couldn't of been further from how it all panned out. The morning of the surgery, Dr Rory came in to see me to check if I had any other concerns / worries and he really just put my mind at ease once again. All I remember was chatting to the anaesthetist in the operating theatre and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room and it was all done! The surgery was performed at the Kings College hospital and the aftercare was really quite luxury and the nurses were kind and made me feel at ease. Dr Rory also is on whatsapp so he had messaged my partner to say surgery had gone well and I was recovering fine etc. Recovery - the most difficult part of recovery from Rhinoplasty is having the uncomfort of the tape all on your face and the breathing tubes up your nose (for anyone reading is was open rhinoplasty). My breasts genuinely didnt hurt other than when I tried to move and it was a little uncomfortable. I rested house bound for about one week and then I felt pretty much back to my usual self. Results - It has now been just over 2 weeks since my surgery and I am SO happy with my results. My breast augmentation is everything I had hoped for and more, Dr Rory had said it was quite a difficult surgery because my previous breast augmentation had left some difficulties, but how my breasts look now are just amazing and I am so so pleased. Regarding my rhinoplasty.... I have to be totally honest here because reviews are meant to help.... On the day my cast was removed, I left the clinic and looked in the mirror and I cried! My swelling on my nose was more than I had predicted, and I had a bit of an emotional meltdown where I questioned 'what have I done?!' - I instantly messaged Dr Rory who replied instantly and advised this is swelling, and rhinoplasty final results can take up to 12months to be fully healed. In my moment of personal despair I just couldnt quite understand that, but one week later and already the swelling has reduced massively and my nose is looking so much better than it did! I can see the bump I had is completely gone, I still look like me... just a better version :) and I know with each month the results will get better and better! I genuinely cannot recommend Dr Rory enough!
