“I had been unhappy with my nose for years but couldn't justify the £9,000 price tag in London. My surgeon in Sofia was incredible — took time to understand exactly what I wanted, showed me simulations beforehand. The clinic was spotless, the nursing team so attentive. I stayed 10 days total. The results at 6 months are beyond what I hoped for. Total cost including flights and hotel: £3,400.”
