I had experienced a botched rhinoplasty back in Dubai and no surgeon in the U.K. was willing to perform a revision rhinoplasty on myself. Dr Ion is the only surgeon who not only agreed to it but also performed an excellent revision rhinoplasty.His revision rhinoplasty was so good that no one can tell if I ever had a rhinoplasty. I am really really happy with my results.

I am so grateful to Mr Ion for performing a very successful secondary procedure following a terrible experience with another surgeon. He is clearly an expert and has a wonderfully reassuring manner. My experiences with the preliminary consultations, actual operation, post-operative aftercare, and subsequent follow-up appointments were truly a gold standard in patient care. Thank you so much to you and your team.

Explanation

Best decision I have ever made :) I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Ion about 2 years ago. I was looking for a surgeon who could do ethic noses, from my understanding, we heal differently as our skin is thicker, so I wanted to make sure I go to someone with experience in this area. From the moment I met him for my consultation, I knew I found the right person (I had done quite a lot of research prior). I believe a great surgeon should be like an artist and sculptor, and I found that in Dr Ion. It was a seamless process from start to finish, my results are better than the rendering that Dr Ion had shown me. In every meeting, Dr Ion was a complete gentleman, who always offered to take my coat. The meetings were concise and to the point. I always felt very assured about the entire process and this is coming from someone who is an overthinker and has anxiety. My surgery was done in 2hours. I had zero pain and no bruising. I went home 30mins after the surgery and felt great. Didnt need any painkillers for the days that followed. I am really happy with my results and so grateful to Dr Ion and his team. I get so many compliments on my nose and the general look of my face is more optimistic and happier. Thank you Dr Ion!

As soon as I met Dr Ion I knew I wanted him to do my surgery. He had impeccable bedside manner and I trusted him personally. My surgery went well and couldn’t be happier with my results. He has always dealt with any queries personally and thoroughly and also helped amazingly with a likely unrelated to surgery infection which occurred nearly 2 years after surgery, when he could have reasonably told me to seek help elsewhere. My results look 90 percent identical to my morph, perhaps better and he was patient and reassuring the whole way through my recovery! Thankyou Dr Ion always, 2 years on I feel this surgery one of the best decisions I ever made!

Explanation

I recently underwent rhinoplasty performed by Mr Ion, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As an East Asian individual seeking an enhancement to my nose, I was initially apprehensive about undergoing the procedure in the UK. However, Mr Ion proved to be not only incredibly skilled but also highly knowledgeable about the intricacies of East Asian facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences. From our very first consultation, Mr Ion took the time to truly listen to my concerns and understand my desired outcome. He patiently addressed all of my questions, taking great care to explain the surgical process in detail while setting realistic expectations. It was immediately evident that Mr Ion possessed a deep understanding of East Asian facial features and had the expertise to achieve results that would look natural and harmonious. What truly impressed me was the use of the 2D imaging technique during the initial consultation, which accurately forecasted potential post-surgery results. This innovative approach allowed me to visualize the outcome and further solidify my trust in Mr Ion's skills. On the day of the surgery, the entire medical team at Weymouth hospital provided exceptional care, making me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Mr Ion displayed a remarkable level of professionalism, ensuring that I felt fully informed and comfortable before the procedure began. His attention to detail and meticulous surgical techniques were truly impressive, instilling a sense of confidence in me. During my recovery, Mr Ion closely monitored my progress, providing clear instructions and unwavering support at every stage as well as nurse Rosie. They were always available to address any concerns I had, promptly responding to my calls and emails. Their genuine care for the well-being of their patients is truly commendable, and I felt reassured knowing that I was in capable hands. Now that I have had ample time to heal, I am ecstatic with the results of my rhinoplasty. Mr Ion successfully achieved the delicate balance I was seeking while preserving the unique aspects of my East Asian identity. The outcome is incredibly natural-looking, and I consistently receive compliments on my new nose. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Ion to anyone considering rhinoplasty. Thank you for your unparalleled skills and unwavering dedication. You have not only transformed my appearance but also given me a newfound sense of self-confidence. I will forever be grateful for the remarkable work you have done.

I was fortunate to have trained under the expert teaching and exceptionally skilled Mr Ion. He is without doubt not only one of the nicest professionals I have had the honour to call my teacher and mentor, being exceptionally bright and talented, but Mr Ion is also a very real and honest human being with everything he does having the intention to be the best for the patients he treats and advises. I cannot recommend this skilled, Board Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon highly enough, and I have and will continue to recommend patients to him, especially for procedures such as rhinoplasty - Mr Ion is perhaps the only surgeon I would allow to operate on a member of my family's nose as I trust him completely.
