An amazing consultation! I was nervous for going in and unsure what to expect but Mr Downie answered all my questions and explained the whole rhinoplasty procedure from start to finish.
Honestly the best post-op care I’ve ever had, the team were always available to answer any questions and they had great knowledge.
Absolutely love my results, Mr Downie has given me my dream nose. I now have my confidence back for my side profile!
I’d just like to say a massive thank you to Mr Downie and his team. From the outstanding communication skills from his admin team and himself to the incredible patient care from everyone on the clinical side. I’ve never felt so at ease on a day of having surgery, the surgical team and all the staff at the hospital were also brilliant! My recovery went smoothly and any questions I had were always answered from mr Downie to reassure me or assess to make sure the healing process was going to plan!! I cannot recommend Mr Downie and his team enough!! The best decision I have made was go for this surgery with Mr Downie.
(Rhinoplasty)
I am now 6 weeks post Rhinoplasty and I could not ask for a better result! Being only 20 years old, having a 'nose job' was a major decision of mine and I am so pleased it was done by Mr Downie and his team.
From my initial meet with Mr Downie, he was very professional and I was extremely well informed on the whole surgery to recovery process and felt happy with my decision.
I was expecting a rough surgery and recovery period but was pleasantly surprised on how easy it was. I had no pain whatsoever throughout my weeks recovery, just a little discomfort which was to be expected.
Overall, I am overjoyed with the results and have a new found confidence thanks to Mr Downie!
(Rhinoplasty)
The entire team involved in my treatment have been extremely friendly and explained the ins and outs of the procedure in a simple and understandable manner that made the whole process very pleasant and stress free. During the procedure care was taken to ensure I knew exactly was going on and the conversational manner in the clinic made me feel completely at ease. Regarding the follow-up, staff were always available to contact. I am extremely pleased with the result of my operation and feel considerably more confident in myself as a result. Overall a highly worthwhile and stress free experience that I am so thankful for.

I visited Mr Downie last June with a request. I wanted to look rejuvenated but as naturally as possible. I was really delighted with the results of my non surgical face lift. My friends couldn’t tell I’d had anything done. All they said was how well I looked!Thank you Mr Downie
(non surgical face lift)
From the offset when I came for my consultation for rhinoplasty surgery Mr Downie was very welcoming and extremely professional. He explained the procedure in simple easy to understand terms which put me at ease having a good understanding of the procedure, as well as any realistic risks and complications that can arise from having any type of surgery.
I am now roughly 9 months post rhinoplasty and there is no visible scaring or swelling to be seen. Mr Downie has been incredibly realistic throughout the whole process and has given me a rhinoplasty that is completely in keeping with my facial features for a very natural look.
Overall I couldn't be happier with the professionalism and the results Mr Downie has given me and I would not think twice about recommending him for anyone who is looking into rhinoplasty surgery.
(non surgical face lift)
After considerable research I decided Mr Downie was the surgeon for my facelift.
My consultation with Mr Downie was very comprehensive. He talked me through the process from start to finish and aftercare. Throughout the whole process, Mr Downie was helpful, supportive and kept me very well informed about my progress. I am absolutely over the moon with my results ! I am receiving so many compliments from family, friends and clients.
No need to go anywhere else when you have a five star surgeon in Scotland ! I would highly recommend him.
A very, very, very happy customer.
(face lift)
I am very happy with the treatment given to me by Mr Downie and his team from my initial consultation to my post-operative check-up. Mr Downie listened to what my hopes and expectations were of the rhinoplasty surgery and discussed what could be achieved.
On operation day, Mr Downie was friendly and professional, settling all of my last minute nerves. Mr Downie provided me with the appropriate aftercare information and the results of my surgery were largely evident upon my six-week check-up. Both Mr Downie and myself were pleased with the outcome and the healing after six short weeks. Now nine-weeks on, I continue to see progress as my nose continues to heal and I am over the moon.
I cannot thank Mr Downie enough for giving me the nose that I have always wanted and providing me with an excellent care experience. I would recommend Mr Downie to anyone who is looking to have rhinoplasty surgery!

I was very nervous about my lower face lift; if I was to choose the wrong surgeon it could go horribly wrong, but I did my research and kept hearing Mr Downie’s name and excellent reputation.
Now, thanks to Mr Downie, I feel fantastic and my confidence is through the roof. I don't look like someone who had surgery; I look like someone who has spent a month in a spa. My unsolicited advice is to get your face done because once your face is looking fabulous you really won't care about anything else. It's the best money I've ever spent.
(face lift)
From my first meeting with Mr Downie I felt instantly at ease, he was really welcoming and down to earth. He asked me lots of questions about what I wanted as well as set my expectations about potential risks. I left his office feeling ready to go ahead with the surgery after 10 years of being afraid to take the plunge.
On the day of surgery Mr Downie was incredibly attentive before and after the surgery, I was blown away by the level of care provided and his dedication to making sure I was doing ok. He was checking up on me right up until I left the hospital to go home. He is a genuinely caring person.
I am now a month post surgery and couldn’t be happier with my results. I can’t believe how natural I look and there was very little pain. Mr Downie’s attention to detail and really understanding what I wanted have given me the natural, bump free nose I have dreamed of all my life. Its amazing what this surgery has done for my confidence. I cannot recommend or thank Mr Downie enough.
(rhinoplasty)
Having had two Rhinoplasty procedures previously that had some defects, I put my trust into Mr Downie - who from our first consultation I immediately had a great feeling about. I am no longer insecure about my side profile which I have been since I can remember! My nose and previous rhinoplasty procedures had left me very insecure and I hated looking in the mirror. I am a little over 10 weeks post op and I am absolutely in love with results. I have so much more confidence and I can honestly say that this has reflected on my everyday life. Dr. Downie and his staff were absolutely amazing and I had great post op care - my recovery was a breeze considering I also had a skull graft to obtain the best results and correct the previous surgeries. I have the perfect nose that I have always wanted and I am so unbelievably thankful to Dr. Downie.
(rhinoplasty)
I would rate my consultation experience as more than satisfactory it was excellent and helped put my mind regarding procedure at ease straight away. The post-operative care I received was also excellent, I felt supported throughout my recovery. I am more than satisfied with my results following procedure I wish I done it years ago as it has gave me a massive confidence boost. I am forever grateful to Jeff.

(MACS lift)
I was absolutely delighted with everything Mr Downie did, from my initial consultation to the result now 3 months on. I am extremely happy and would highly recommend Mr Downie to anyone. I had no discomfort at all after the operation, just couldn’t see very well without my contact lenses in , but no pain and would do it again in a minute.

I had a nodular BCC removed from my upper eyelid in September by Mr Downie as an outpatient. The BCC was gone but left extra skin folds which I felt was noticeable and made my eyes uneven. Thus, the upper eyelid blepharoplasties procedure. The consultation process with Mr Downie was courteous and factual which eased any foolish anxieties I was feeling. During post-operative care, everyone was caring and approachable. I would have taken off immediately after the procedure but was made to feel worthy and to relax. It was reassuring to see Mr Downie before I left and the nurse removing my stitches said Mr Downie did lovely stitching. All positive comments were welcome! Regarding the results, I am delighted. I feel the result is in keeping with my features and exactly what I wanted as I did not want to look overdone or having had work done. I would not hesitate in contacting Mr Downie for other procedures because of this positive experience.
(Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasties)
With regards to the consultation process, I was apprehensive about getting the surgery incase the change would be too drastic & obvious. I was also anxious about having both nostrils packed & not being able to breathe out of my nose post surgery. Mr Downie reassured me and put me at ease. He made me feel confident about going ahead with it as he took on board what I was hoping to achieve and gave me a realistic view of what was achievable.
Post operative care was great, everyone was very attentive and happy to answer my questions. I really did not like both of my nostrils packed but I know it was just part of the process that was required. It was difficult trying to sleep for a week as my mouth got dry however it was worth it for the results. I didn’t really feel any pain at all post surgery, maybe just a little pressure. It was mostly just uncomfortable having both nostrils completely blocked. Once the packing started to dissolve & I was able to breathe out of my nose then I could actually sleep. From then on the recovery was easy.
I’m am absolutely delighted with the results, there are massive improvements in the appearance. My nose is perfectly straight now & looks so much better than before. Mr Downie corrected my deviated septum which now looks much better & functions far more than before. Previously I couldn’t breathe properly out of the right side, this has improved & I think it will keep improving as the internal swelling goes down.
Overall I’m delighted with the outcome of my surgery. I almost didn’t go ahead as mentioned I was worried about my nose being packed & not being able to breathe out of my nose during recovery. I am so glad I went ahead, the not being able to breathe was very uncomfortable but it was not nearly as bad as I had expected.
Mr Downie is incredibly talented & did an excellent job.
(Rhinoplasty)
The entire process from the consultation to the end was a very positive experience, Dr Downie was very assuring, very comforting and very competent. The surgery went very well, I just went into the clinical theatre and had my anaesthetic induction and the next thing I know the surgery was already done and it wasn’t at all painful, not even during recovery. I left the hospital the other day and had a speedy recovery. The result was nice and most importantly it gave me a good smile, and that’s the most important thing to me.

(Rhinoplasty)
I opted to have orthodontic surgery following years of orthodontic treatment for a skeletal and dental class II malocclusion. In my teens I had orthodontic and removable appliances (Twin blocks) that were unsuccessful in fixing my malocclusion so I was told by my orthodontist that I would need surgery. Previous to surgery I was unable to chew correctly due to my misaligend jaws and from time to time suffered pain in my jaw joints so was determined to go through surgery to correct these functional issues. My recovery was a lot easier than I had anticipated. During the first few days following surgery I was slightly uncomfortable due to the swelling, but that quickly subsided within the first week. Any pain I was in was manageable with the pain relief I had been prescribed and I was able to come off pain relief within 10 days of surgery. Within a few weeks I was back to eating regularly, the majority of my swelling had disappeared and I had regained all feeling in the nerves around my lower face and mouth. Yes the Hilotherm unit was incredibly useful during my jaw surgery recovery. Its targeted cold therapy not only eased post surgical discomfort but also reduced my facial swelling which meant I was able to return to a more normal appearance quickly after surgery. I would highly recommend it for anyone undergoing similar procedures. The biggest improvement for me has been the balance in my facial profile. My jaws are now aligned so I am able to chew on both sides of my jaw! Following surgery I have significantly less gum show when smiling so I am delighted with the aesthetic improvement to my smile.
I recently underwent jaw surgery under Mr Downie's care, and I am delighted to share my positive experience. During my initial consultation, Mr Downie took the time to thoroughly explain the surgical procedure, addressing all my concerns and patiently answering my long list of questions. His friendly disposition and approachable nature put me at ease throughout the entire process. I received excellent care from the Team at FACE and the staff at Ross Hall Hospital on the day of surgery and during my recovery and would highly recommend Mr Downie for anyone that is considering orthodontic surgery.
(Orthodontic Surgery)
Informative and to the point, Mr Downie gave me great understanding of the procedure and results. I travel for work and having a mixture of online and in person appointments was a great help and my schedule was greatly accommodated.
I felt very safe and well taken care of post procedure. My hospital room was comfortable, clean and the staff were amazingly kind and gentle with me. I was able to check in whenever needed about my concerns and was given a great combination of medicine to ensure that my healing process was as fast as possible.
I love my results, one of my aims was to achieve a very natural shape close to my original nose but more perfected. Mr Downie's work has really balanced out my facial features rather than making a completely new structure. I have had a lot of compliments that I look great and refreshed without people being able to pinpoint exactly what I've done! For me that is the sign of great cosmetic work.
Mr Downie and his team have been a joy throughout my experience. As this was my first surgical procedure I was a little apprehensive and nervous at times, there was endless support, information and comfort given to me from start to finish. I also really appreciated that Mr Downie was realistic with what my results would be instead of over promising.
(Rhinoplasty)
Over the last few years I have been attending to see Mr Downie who was referred by another surgeon. I attended after having a cyst removed by the NHS, leaving me with a large scar and disformity to my cheek. I cannot thank and recommend Mr Downie enough for the amazing work he has done on restoring my face to almost like before over years of surgeries and fillers I am almost myself again thanks to Mr Downie and his team. Before each surgery he explained everything before hand and continues to follow up with me after surgeries and filler ongoing at this time. His work is outstanding, I would highly recommend.
