“I left my first review 2 days ago. I'm 56, and had a my first facelift last week. Mr Matthew James said he transferred fat to my nasolabial folds & other regions, but my nasolabial folds etc don't appear to have been injected. All I have is a bruise on the left side of my jaw. Although the face lift has improved my jaw/neck line, my left side is less elevated, and my malar regions are slacker than I would have liked. I think I would also have benefitted from a mid facelift. I feel cheated. ZP.”

    Great. Thank you very much.
  • I can honestly say that from the first appointment with Mr James, right through to having my full tummy tuck with muscle repair, I have been supported and treated with understanding, reassurance and good care. Mr James is an excellent surgeon. So happy with my results.

  • My wife was very apprehensive about having an epidural for her delivery at Guy's, but Dr Neel was simply fantastic in first discussing it, and then doing the actual procedure. His bedside manner is great, he is super professional, and we'd highly recommend him.

  • No words can explain how overwhelmed we were with Neel and his team. Neel has an amazing nature that makes you feel so at ease and in safe hands. He’s a true professional, personable, kind and considerate and in all honestly the best experience we have ever had .
