Mr Chadwan Al Yaghchi

I went in for my surgery with Dr Chadwan Al Yaghchi in September 2022. The procedures I had done were glottoplasty and a tracheal shave. I cant fault any of the hospital experience/prior consultations and communication, other than I felt like I was rushed out of the hospital too soon and the receptionist of the hospital was rude to my guest. However, the nurse that looked after me was extremely accommodating and caring. I would just like to share my opinion as I am not happy with the results. Before I had the surgery I was made aware that 10% of glottoplasty procedures do not work. Unfortunately I was in this 10%. I have since been back for evaluation with Yaghchi and he did confirm this. It has now been 7 Month, I am now left with a few complications from the surgery, these include losing volume in my voice as I am often asked to repeat my speech, and people find it hard to understand me. I have also lost control of my pitch and my throat gets sore easily after talking for extended periods of time, whereas prior to this procedure this was not the case. I was also quite unhappy that with these issues I had to pay myself afterwards for the endoscopy for them to tell me it hadnt worked. I was advised I could try the surgery again however I was also told I would have to pay full price. Secondly my tracheal shave hasnt wielded the results I was expecting and have seen on other transgender women I know who have had the same procedure with a lot better results. It is still very visible and I also brought this up to Yaghchi and was told again this is all they could do. I thought I would share my opinion as I havent seen too many reviews online and wish I had read more into the surgery online beforehand. I am extremely disappointed with the results, and I think mostly about the aftercare and lack of free revision (as I have seen with other surgeries).

My experience with Mr Al Yaghchi was exceptional. I saw him at One Welbeck which was state of the art, and he took the time to listen to my history and had read up on all the provided documentation in advance. He is clearly very knowledgable and has given me peace of mind and a clear action plan to recovery. Thank you.
