  • Having never had any cosmetic treatment before, choosing the right surgeon felt incredibly important, and I feel very fortunate to have found Dr Julian De Silva. From the outset he was calm, reassuring and clearly highly skilled. What sets him apart is not only his technical expertise, but his ability to achieve results that look so natural and harmonious. He treated my double chin with chin augmentation, liposuction and RF to the neck area, I am truly grateful for both his care and the result.

He exudes a calm professionalism and person centered approach, delivering all aspects of your procedure, reassuring, no rush, no hard sell, a two- way conversation where you are heard and your choices explored. He is available & approachable throughout. His team, supportive & professional become friends. 4 weeks on they still check on me. My surgery - smooth as expected, I look younger, rejuvenated - Delighted. I chose a true artist.

  • I had a procedure at The Centre London and my experience was very positive. Dr De Silva and his team were extremely professional, supportive and made me feel well cared for throughout. I also had lymphatic drainage massage as part of my aftercare by nurse Luci, which helped reduce swelling and made recovery much more comfortable. Luci was very knowledgeable and reassuring. Overall, I am very satisfied with the care I received and would recommend The Centre London to others.

  • As part of my recovery from a face and necklift, I have been having LED, hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic facial massage which has literally turbo charged my recovery. The massage, by Luci, has been the real game changer and it's so relaxing you just drift off as she gently strokes away the fluid that causes swelling. I was puffy for days and yesterday afterwards I looked and felt 100% better and more contoured which really boosts morale while everything is healing. 100% recommended!
