Consultation and Fees

Consultations

Mr Unadkat’s practice is located conveniently by London’s famous Harley Street medical district.

Consultations take place in Central London on:

Monday 9am to 4pm: Cleveland Clinic Outpatients Centre, 24 Portland Place, London W1B 1LU
Tuesday 9am to 12.30pm: Suite 3B, Lister House, 11-12 Wimpole Street, London W1G 9ST

Referrals to My Nose London can be made directly or through your GP. We receive a lot of referrals from other colleagues for specialist opinions related to nasal problems.

Cancellations

We understand that plans do sometimes change at short notice. Please do let us know with at least 24 hours’ notices should you be unable to attend your appointment. Non-attendance and last-minute cancellations considerably disrupt the clinic.

Fees

Patients with insurance

Mr Unadkat is recognised by most of the major insurance companies. If you have insurance then fees will be invoiced and settled directly between My Nose London and the insurance company. Prior to booking your appointment with us, we recommend obtaining a pre-authorisation number. If you are insured by a company not listed below, then please do let us know in advance and we will arrange the necessary registrations. Please note that purely cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery will not be covered by insurance. Some insurers may cover parts of the procedure and we would be happy to liaise with insurance companies but ultimately it is the responsibility of patients to cover any shortfall in payment. We will of course provide a written quote to ensure transparency throughout.

Self-pay patients

For patients who are funding their own treatment, we request that payment in full is made at the end of the consultation. We accept all major credit cards

Consultation	Fee
New Consultation	£350
Follow up consultation	£250

Should additional diagnostic tests such as CT scans or blood tests be required, they will incur an additional charge as set out by the individual clinics.

For self-pay patients, hospitals and clinics will also charge an additional facility fee for the use of any equipment on their premises. This charge is independent of our private practice fees and is set directly by the hospital/clinic. It is the responsibility of the patient to settle this with the hospital/clinic. Insured patients are usually covered for this facility fee but there may be limitations or an excess to pay.

LEADING RHINOLOGIST & FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON

Consultant Rhinologist and Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Mr Unadkat is a consultant ENT surgeon, specialised in nasal and facial plastic surgery. He was awarded the Dr Harold Edwards scholarship as the top-ranking candidate to read medicine at Imperial College London and has won numerous undergraduate and postgraduate prizes.

The bulk of his training was focussed on nasal and facial plastic disorders under leading international experts. After completing his training, he secured the coveted Royal College of Surgeons of England advanced rhinology & facial plastic fellowship at Charing Cross & The Royal Brompton Hospitals – one of the only accredited fellowships dedicated to both complex rhinoplasty and advanced sinus surgery in Europe.

He has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and several book chapters with ongoing active research interests in functional nasal surgery and has secured industry funding to look at the interplay between nasal surgery, snoring and sleep disordered breathing.

He was the inaugural president of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) Junior Members Board and is invited speaker to several national and international meetings.

When will I see the final results of my rhinoplasty?

This varies from patient to patient. For most patients there is marked swelling and/or bruising for the first few weeks which then rapidly reduces although will still change subtly for several months after surgery. Irregularities of the nose are not uncommon to feel at this stage. The final result following rhinoplasty becomes apparent at approximately one year after surgery, although in patients with thicker skin it can take even longer.

How soon can I return to work?

We would usually suggest no strenuous activity for four weeks, and no contact sports for six weeks. For the first week after surgery, patients will usually have a plaster cast on the nose which we will remove in our clinic. Avoid flying if possible for at least two weeks. For most of our patients, they are usually back to work after two weeks.

Who should do my surgery?

This is never an easy decision with such a wealth of options available. Increasingly, more surgeons are honing their skillset to a few key areas in order to provide the best possible outcomes to patients. As our name suggests, at My Nose London, noses are what we do best! We want patients to have a balance between function and aesthetics and with fellowship training in both sinus surgery and rhinoplasty surgery, Mr Unadkat is well-suited to provide this. After all, it’s not ideal having a good-looking nose that doesn’t functionvery well!
