I am very very confident with his practice

5 50 Breast Implants • Paid: €6000

I had a consultation the 20th of September for breast augmentation and Dr. Rirdan seemed very confident within his practice. He suggested the type of implant etc based on my expectations. I went home and researched his suggestions and have made my decision to get the procedure done by him. I will go back for a second consultation next month to sum things up.

My experience was good.

I am delighted by the results of my Tummy Tuck

5 50 Full Abdominoplasty, Tummy Tuck • Paid: €7500

After 2 pregnancies and losing all my pregnancy weight, i was left with a lot of excess hanging skin and abdominal muscle damage which I could not correct with healthy eating and exercise. I started researching ABDOMINOPLASTY (tummy tuck) procedures.

After having consultations at several Plastic surgery clinic in Dublin, I decided to go with Mr Colin ORiordan of the Aesthetic Institute, based in the North brook clinic in Ranelagn. I felt he had a lot of experience behind him and he patiently answered all my many questions and put me at ease with his knowledge and expertise in the area. I also felt confident I would be looked after by him and his surgery team and facilities he uses at Blackrock clinic. I am a week post my surgery and I am delighted by the results and the care I received. I would highly recommend Mr Colin ORiordan and the Aesthetic Institute Clinic.

I am 1000% happy.

5 50 Rhinoplasty

I had it in my head at first to try a consultation at more than one clinic, but coming out of Dr. Riordan's clinic, I just felt confident and fully informed. I knew this was the clinic I wanted to book with for my surgery. Dr. Riordan was so honest and realistic with me, and I felt relaxed that this decision was fully up to me. I never felt pressured one bit. Having rhinoplasty is the best decision I ever made, and the results I am 1000% happy with; you can't put a price on happiness or confidence.

Dr. Riordan truly cares about his clients and took such good care of me from start to finish. I would highly recommend going to the Aesthetic Institute.

The difference really is amazing. I don't recognize my own body.

5 50 Tummy Tuck

I had a tummy tuck. After having three children, I was left with a lot of loose skin. Even going to the gym a couple times a week and eating a healthy diet didn't seem to make much difference. I am in pretty good shape, but after years of being unhappy with my tummy and a lot of research, I finally got the courage and the money up to take the surgery option. This treatment is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I feel confident and now have the choice of swimsuit or bikini, and couldn't wait to go shopping for the underwear I always wanted. No more hiding behind towels for me. The difference really is amazing, I don't recognize my own body. Should have done it years ago.

I was referred to the Aesthetic Institute through another clinic who couldn't do the surgery at the time I needed it done. I did visit a few clinics, but after meeting with Dr. Colin Riordan, I knew this was right for me and felt confident he was the surgeon to go with. He understood exactly what I wanted done, even down to the shape of my belly button! The surgery went exactly the way he said it would, and the results are better than I could have imagined. I was expecting the recovery to be much more painful than it was and take a lot longer to heal. This man is an amazing surgeon, and I would recommend him without hesitation. Also, thank you to Laura who was so prompt getting my letters out for work and even helping with directions to the clinic.

whole experience was very professional

5 50 Breast Implants

Breast augmentation

From start to finish the whole experience was very professional. I had a consultation with Dr.Riordan. He made me feel at ease straight away because he was solely speaking to me and completely ignored my partner instead of other doctors that just spoke to my partner as if he was the one making the decision. He advised me straight away that this is a serious operation and I need to be aware of the risks before I made a decision. I felt like he wasn't just trying to make a sale like the other doctors I seen. I decided to go ahead with the surgery. I advised what size I wanted to be and he advised me to go a size smaller and he was completely right. He said that this would complement my body size the most. I never thought I would be so happy with the result and I was far happier then I ever imagined. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. Also his receptionist was so helpful any time I had a question she answered me so quickly and always made me feel at ease.

I would highly recommend the clinic

5 50 Rhinoplasty • Paid: €3000

I had a rhinoplasty procedure a couple of months ago. I had had the same procedure about 5 years ago and was unhappy with the results. My nose seemed to have lost it's shape completely and it was starting to really bother me. The reason I waited so long to do anything about it was because I felt I was magnifying a small imperfection that should have already been fixed.
It was a tough decision even to consider surgery again. It's not a decision that should be made lightly but I know I made the right choice. Anybody considering this procedure should base it solely on what they want and not on what other people say.
I was made very comfortable before and after my operation. I had very little pain and swelling after the procedure and I was back to work in less than a fortnight.

I was referred to the Aesthetic Institute by another surgeon who believed that Mr Colin Riordan would be much more help in my situation. He was right. We had a very thorough meeting about what I wanted and what could be done. He was very professional and gave me all the information that I needed.
His team at the Aesthetic Institute were very warm and welcoming. They were very helpful with getting me prepared for my procedure.
After my operation , the aftercare I received from the clinic was amazing.
I would highly recommend the clinic for anybody who was considering a procedure like mine. I found MR Riordan and his team incredibly helpful and highly professional.

I would highly recommend the procedure to any friends

5 50 Breast Implants • Paid: €5000

Breast Augmentation

I had a breast augmentation with Mr. Riordan in February and I couldn't be happier with the results. The entire process was amazing, from initial consultation to now, 4 months post surgery. From the very start of the process I knew that I had made a right choice going with the Aesthetic Institute. The surgery itself and the recovery time went even better than I had expected and I would highly recommend the procedure to any friends considering it. It has made a big difference to my confidence and body image. Both Laura and Mr. Riordan were hugely helpful in answering any questions or concerns I had.

My tummy now looks like it belongs to the rest of my body

5 50 Tummy Tuck

I had spent many years trying to have the courage to get my tummy sorted after pregnancies. I thought long and hard about it and after my experience with Mr Riordan I wish I had done it sooner. Firstly the surgical result is outstanding and my tummy now looks like it belongs to the rest of my body. Mr Riordan is a highly competent, perfectionist surgeon.

The whole experience in the clinic with Lorna, the surgery and the aftercare was excellent. I felt completely safe at all times and the surgery in Blackrock clinic went very well. I did my research so I knew the clinic had an excellent reputation and was professionally & medically accredited but now I can personally recommend this clinic and surgeon, Mr Colin Riordan.

The operation went smoothly and delighted with the end result!

4.5 50 Breast Implants

I had breast augmentation done with Dr Riordan and had an excellent experience. Dr Riordan was very professional and provided great advice on the procedure and the size of the implants. I was very small and was very conscious of not going to large and Dr Riordan put me at ease on this. The Institute provides a 3D service which gave me a great idea of what I potentially would look like. I had gone to see a number of different consultations but after going to Dr Riordan I knew he was the right person as he had great knowledge in the area and listens to your needs. The operation went smoothly and delighted with the end result! Highly Recommend!

The reason I went to this clinic as I had received a recommendation from someone in Blackrock to go see Dr Riordan. I was very impressed with the clinic and was treated to the highest standards. Laura who assists Dr Riordan was extremely helpful and always willing to answer any questions. The clinic is very modern and clean so overall a great experience.

I had confidence in their hands and felt prepared

Facelift

I wasn't happy with the wrinkles on the sides of my face. I decided to have a face lift to improve their appearance. I had never had any type of surgery before and would describe myself as a fairly nervous patient. The cost of the surgery I got was €7,800 which I feel was good value for money, considering the results.

I found aesthetic institute on the web. I thought the website was helpful and easy to use. I phoned and made an appointment with Mr Riordan, who preformed my surgery. From my first consultation to my final checkup I felt very reassured that the result of my surgery would be what I expected. I had confidence in their hands and felt prepared and relaxed going into the procedure.
