Every consultant surgeon is on the GMC Specialist Register. Our nurses and patient team look after you from your first enquiry to your final follow-up.
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.
Evaluate your treatment options: free assessment tool
Considering surgery or a non-surgical treatment? Our online assessment tool helps you identify your concerns and the medical considerations involved, so you can articulate your needs before an in-person consultation. At that consultation, a consultant plastic surgeon carries out a full medical assessment.

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.
The consultation was thorough a full hour every question answered and also very interesting dr quaba knows his stuff and has a very professional relaxing manner
I had a very informative consultation in a lovely relaxed environment.
Had a really positive experience meeting with Dr Omar Quaba, he was so professional and informative, explaining all aspects of the procedure and outcome in such great detail that there were no questions left unanswered from my point of view, i really felt at ease and now can't wait to see the end results!
I had a breast reduction and uplift 6 months ago by Mr Awf Quaba as I mentioned in my first review my care was exceptional Mr Quaba has a wonderful team at his clinic so professional and looked after me ao well , Mr Quaba is just magic my results are amazing im so happy and I thankyou so very much , even my husband has noticed a difference in my confidence, as I said I had my 6 months consultation and Mr Quaba was just as lovely as I remember I explained that everything has been good no issues, scarring is healing well , he was happy , so all I can say is im so glad I came to Quaba Clinic and that I had chosen Mr Awf Quaba for my surgery,, thankyou
Very professional and knowledgeable. Good communication so far.
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.
Our approach
Integrity and close attention to detail are the foundation of our surgical outcomes. We hold to these principles across both the medical and aesthetic aspects of care.
Your treatment is provided by consultant plastic surgeons in a hospital setting at Waterfront Private Hospital in Edinburgh.
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.
Consultations and pricing
A consultation with a consultant plastic surgeon is £200. At that appointment the surgeon assesses you in person and confirms a price for your individual case. Guide prices for each procedure are listed on our pricing page.
Where a further consultation would help you reach a decision, this is offered without additional charge.
