Scarring is a common concern when it comes to facial surgery. In most cases, incisions are made along the natural creases of the eyelid, which helps keep any scars discreet. With time, they typically become less noticeable. Even within a few weeks they are well healed. Each recovery journey is different, so we’ll guide you through what to expect and how to support healing.

I also derive great satisfaction from assisting patients achieve the best version of themselves and offer a highly qualified service in breast and body surgery. My team of support staff and nurses help me provide a wholistic, professional service where realistic outcomes are achieved with care and compassion.
