I decided to have surgery to correct the nasal septum, remove spurs in my nose to improve my breathing. For 3 years I could not decide on this procedure . And only after repeated and patient explanations from my doctor S. Jayaraj, I finally felt what HAPPINESS is! 50 years have passed since the fracture of the nasal septum due to sports! And all these years I couldn't feel confident as a woman. Because the fear of an ugly nose has lived in me since I was 15 years old! Today, one week has passed since this operation and when the doctor removed the patch from my nose, I felt just like a happy woman! No bruises, no pain, and my looks like it’s ME, but more pretty!;) Thank you so much dear Doctor S.Jayaraj for not only improving my breathing, but also giving me the opportunity to feel like a beautiful lady!!! I wish you health and prosperity ! I know now, for sure - you are the STAR! 💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏🙏

Mr S Jayaraj, was very professional. He explained the procedure to me very well. The follow up appointments were not rushed. He took his time checking the work done and gave good advice for after care treatment. Overall experience was very good.
