Duncan is a truly talented surgeon. Despite my situation being a little tricky, he has managed to completely transform my nose, but still leave me looking like myself. Other surgeons I consulted told me they couldn't help me or could only fix things that were less of a concern, but Duncan looked at the whole together and made the necessary modifications to bring it all into harmony and achieve the result I wanted, even though it was challenging to do. He has a friendly, down to earth yet confident manner that inspires confidence and trust. So glad I went ahead with Duncan, I can't recommend him enough.

I 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’. My surgery was booked early in the morning which suited me from a fasting perspective. I was booked into The Real 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. 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.

Best surgeon when it comes to nose surgery in my opinion, as I've done a lot of reserach prior my surgery I knew I can trust him. I couldn't be happier with the result. Dr Duncan is a perfectionist, and you'll get the best result, just trust the process.

Overall I had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Mr Atherton from start to finish. In the initial consultation he was very clear about what could be achieved. He answered all of my questions often taking the time to go into detail. Being very conscious of my nose for most of my life, this was the first time I’d spoken to anyone about how I felt about my profile, I was very grateful for the kindness Mr Atherton showed. I had a second consultation after booking in which really helped put my mind at ease and get any final questions answered. Surgery day felt super calm and Mr Atherton saw me for a final chat. He/the nurses ran through all things after care with me again and were very patient in waiting for me to me take notes. The next few weeks we’re a lot easier than I thought. I didn’t experience any pain and bruising was minimal. When the cast was removed, although I was very swollen, I couldn’t believe the difference. At 4/5 weeks post op, I went to a wedding and a couple of other events with family. No one knew I’d had surgery or commented on a change in my appearance, including people who knew me quite well. Given I had a large hump before, I couldn’t believe it. If I told anyone they were struck with how natural it looked and how well my nose fit my face. It’s a real testament to Mr Atherton’s skill and talent. I’m now at 8 weeks post op and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a rhinoplasty with Mr Atherton. There’s tangible improvements every day in my profile. If anyone is considering rhinoplasty, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Atherton.

I had a fantastic experience with Mr Atherton. From the initial consultation, I knew he was the right surgeon for my rhinoplasty. He provided clear and detailed explanations and managed my expectations of what was realistically achievable. He’s clearly passionate about his work, a technically gifted surgeon but incredibly humble human being who genuinely cares about his patients. I experienced minimal bruising and scarring and my post op results (at 7 weeks) have exceeded my expectations. My new nose is in harmony with my face and looks like the nose I should have always had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Atherton. I wish I’d found him sooner!

I had been to previous consultations but immediately felt in safe hands with Mr Atherton. He explained the procedure incredibly clearly including anything that could possibly go wrong so I knew all the facts. He was happy to answer any questions I had from the day of the consultation up to the surgery (and afterwards as well). I had no pain from the surgery and little bruising and my nose is exactly like the picture he had shown me beforehand. 6 weeks on my scar is barely noticable and I have very little swelling left. Thank you so much!

My entire experience with Mr Atherton was flawless; I truly cannot fault anything. He is an absolute master, and a true perfectionist. Despite only being 8 weeks post surgery, I could not be happier with my results, and my expectations have been completely surpassed. From my first consultation meeting with Mr Atherton, I trusted him implicitly. His manner is impeccable and his expertise is second to none - he has crafted such a beautiful and natural nose that is in complete harmony with my other features. Thank you Dr Atherton, you are a legend!

Great experience starting from the initial consultation and still ongoing to surgery recovery (Currently at 8 weeks post surgery). I had Surgery for Septo-Rhinoplasty for a severe deviated sputum, The surgery went extremely well and I am very satisfied with the results, breathing has significantly improved compared to pre surgery. I feel like I was fully informed of any potential issues that could arise. I was made to feel 100% at ease before deciding to go ahead with the Surgery.

Absolutely top-notch surgeon. Skilled, listened and managed expectations and gave me an excellent insight into what I might expect from my rhinoplasty. Just a lovely human being! Mine was a difficult case so I had actually been referred by another cosmetic surgeon, which says it all really. Despite age, thin skin, a deviation, a dorsal hump , over projection and visible nostrils contributing to a nose I was unhappy with, Duncan Atherton has delivered a nose that looks and feels natural and fits my face and frame. He not only matched but exceeded expectations, I have a lovely nose and virtually no outward sign of surgery- my scarring is invisible. Yes I was swollen and bruised for a couple of weeks, but because of my consultation and pre- and post surgery talks with my surgeon, I was fully prepared, and 10 weeks later I can safely say, it is really worth it.

I could not have picked a better surgeon. Not only is Duncan the nicest man anyone could meet, but he is extremely realistic about what can be achieved and also what would suit my face. I could not be happier with the outcome of my nose (3 months post op) and it has given me so much confidence for my wedding to come. Duncan really cares about his patients and the overall outcome- this is why he does such a good job. Anyone considering a nose job - do it with Duncan, it will be the best thing you ever do.
