Explanation

I cannot recommend Duncan highly enough! I felt in such safe hands from the moment of our first consultation. Duncan is incredibly professional, has a friendly and clear manner so I felt well informed at all times, and I could tell he had my best interests in mind at all times. He was so much more professional and capable than the other surgeons I had consultations with. And then there's my nose – I am SO happy with the end result. I thought about rhinoplasty for 10 years, and the results Duncan achieved are better than I even imagined! I struggled to wear glasses due to the width of my nose, and now thanks to Duncan's expertise I can wear glasses and sunglasses without any discomfort. The tip of my nose also sloped downwards due to a bump, which I found so unflatering, but Duncan has given me such a cute, feminine, slimmed down tip. It really is a beautiful result, and the best part is not only do I look like me, but I actually feel more like me than I ever did before. I cannot thank Duncan enough, this really is the best thing I've chosen to do for myself, all thanks to his expertise.

Dr A is honestly amazing. He is so down to earth and really manages expectations (doesn’t sell you a dream on things he cannot achieve). He was honestly the nicest doctor and I couldn’t be more pleased that I ended up going with him.

Choosing Dr Atheron for my rhinoplasty was life-changing. From the start, Duncan provided a professional and reassuring environment, thoroughly explaining the procedure and answering all my questions. I had a big ask – not to look like I’ve had a major rhinoplasty op. The surgery went smoothly, and one year later, I can confidently say the result is fantastic - my new nose looks completely natural! Most people are unaware I’ve had a nose job (even my parents, who needed to see before and after evidence to notice a difference). It feels like I finally have the nose I was always supposed to have. Recovery was easier than expected, with practically no pain and minimal scarring (despite having an alar base reduction). Dr Atheron and the team at the Cadogan clinic provided excellent support pre and post-op. I highly recommend Dr Atherton to anyone considering rhinoplasty. I cannot express in words how grateful I am. Thanks to Duncan and his outstanding skills, I can now live my life to the fullest with newfound confidence. Thank you!

Explanation

Duncan is a brilliant surgeon. Having consulted three of the top-rated nose surgeons on Doctify and Real Self, I really wanted Duncan to do my surgery because not only is he an expert on functionality, I felt he really understood people’s faces including symmetry and a real sense of what suits an individual's face. I had a hooked nose when I smiled and a deviation, both of which had started to bother me in recent years as I reached my mid-Forties. I'm pretty much aligned with all the positive reviews he has received online about consultations and approach. Being of South Asian heritage, he managed my expectations of recovery, bruising and swelling. Though, it turns out, I didn't really have much to worry about, which I think lends to his skill as a surgeon. I had a small bruise for a few days, a bit of cheek swelling for a couple of weeks, no pain whatsoever, a bit of nose throbbing for a couple of hours during the evening after-surgery (resolved with a paracetamol) and my nose was stuffy (not unbearably) for about four weeks. Two months on, the tip of my nose is a bit numb and I guess slightly swollen still, though I'm not really concerned as he said it's to be expected at this stage. I watched all his videos, read the FAQs and followed the instructions closely, called the clinic a couple of times for a few specific questions around exercise and cleaning my nose. I also stuck to a good diet and went on several long walks to compensate for the no-exercise/sport period. Most importantly, I'm breathing well, my nose is straight, and it looks better than I could have ever imagined for myself. I realise he's a scientist, but looking at my nose, he is also very much an artist. It's clear that he's really passionate about his work and the surgery outcome for his patients.

Explanation

From the moment I walked into Mr Atherton's office, I felt very confident, calm and understood all of the complexities associated with my particular case, a revision rhinoplasty. He was incredibly thorough in explaining all of the risks and I felt more than confident that he was the person to fix my nose. I essentially couldn't breathe properly for 20 years thanks to a bad nose job (and that is being kind!). Six months on from the surgery, I am happy to say that not only has my breathing improved drastically, I can smell properly again. And I didn't realise how much my sense of smell had been compromised until a week after the surgery when the splints came off and I couldn't believe how wonderful freshly cut fruits and vegetables actually smelled. My nose looks fantastic - this was an added bonus as for me it was about being able to breathe and smell first. This truly has been a life changing surgery and I cannot recommend him enough.

Explanation

Dr Atherton is a fantastic doctor. Got the recommendation from a friend who used to work / train as a surgeon with him, so I thought this is a very reliable source (I am particularly picky and it is very hard for me to trust people - wanted to do my nose for several years but never got myself to trust anyone). Well he didn't disappoint at all! It looks fantastic today and the best thing is no one notices (to be clear my nose was completely ugly before) - it looks so perfect and so so so natural. Experience was literally fantastic back to back - very caring and kind in the appointments - takes notice what you like and dont like makes suggestions; literally a perfectionist when it comes down to looks/ the surgery itself (which is great as I am too!). Also my mom who is a doctor herself picked me up from the clinic and stayed with me for 3 days and she was herself surprised how well the operation has been done given I had no bruising and very little swelling (usually the face skin is very sensitive to bruising and I had none). I couldn't recommend him more warmly!!!

I have known Duncan since 2010 when we trained together at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He has extensive experience in all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery with fantastic outcomes and very happy patients. He is ' a go to person in London, UK and beyond for rhinoplasty procedure and someone I would go myself if I was a patient as I have full trust in his abilities. Duncan is thorough, dedicated and has attention to detail, extremely organised and always goes that extra mile for his patients and colleagues. I highly recommend him.
