Our Assessment Process

Every patient is assessed in person by a consultant plastic surgeon. We consider the aesthetic outcome alongside your physical health, any functional concerns, and your reasons for considering treatment. Where we have concerns about your wellbeing, or feel specialist psychological input would help, we will say so and refer you. On occasion, this means recommending against a procedure when it is not in your best interest.

Transparent Feedback and Patient Testimonials

We link directly to open review platforms so you can read genuine patient feedback rather than a selected set of testimonials. You can read reviews on Trustpilot, RealSelf, and Google.

These platforms allow anyone to leave feedback, so you can see both positive and negative reviews and verify them for yourself. Linking to external sites rather than hosting only positive reviews gives you a fuller picture before you decide on your care.

I have done my research and he really is the best there is.

I am a previous patient of Dr Quaba and there is no one else I would consider going to.

We had a lengthy appointment when he explained all the options available to me.

I am very happy to recommend Dr Quaba.

Expert care and incredible results

I can honestly say that I have never experienced a better hospital or better care. I was listened to, I was spoken to kindly and with respect and each part of my experience was with such care. Often in such vulnerable moments, where it is the most important, care, respect, and communication can get quickly forgotten, and Waterfront Hospital was exemplary. Every member of staff held the same accountability, the same level of detail and the same standards. I would absolutely recommend. Dr Quaba is extremely knowledgable and an expert at his craft.

Follow up consultation - I have now booked in for surgery.

Dr Awf Quaba is the most professional and reassuring man that I have ever met. He is thorough, honest and transparent. He always puts me completely at ease and I know that I will be in the safest hands with him. His secretary team are also wonderful and so helpful. Thank you all so much. See you in the summer!

Arm Lift Surgery

Had an arm lift at the Waterfront private hospital, done by Mr Quaba.

I was treated like royalty, the nursing staff are absolutely amazing and so caring. Mr Quaba, what can I say, a magician! I am delighted with the result and my scars have healed very quickly and are already beginning to fade at 6 months post-op.

Highly recommend Mr Quaba and his team.

I felt exceptionally honoured to meet Mr Awf Quaba again after all these years of knowing each other from some time ago.

Looking forward to hearing from Mr Awf Quaba in the near future to carry out the procedure we discussed.

See your options in 3D before you decide

For breast augmentation, a short 3D scan at your consultation shows how different implant sizes and shapes might look on your own body. You can look at the model again at home before you decide.

Aftercare included in your treatment

Your aftercare is included in the price of your procedure. This covers your follow-up reviews, any medication you need, and the management of any complication, for one year after surgery.

A nurse reviews you at one week, and more often if needed in the early healing period. Your consultant sees you again at around six months once the result has settled. Between then, your consultant is always available — if anything concerns you, they will respond directly and arrange to see you as soon as needed.
