The significant majority of my patients have one thing in common, no matter whether they are seeing me about their face, their eyes, their, breasts or their body. What links them all is that their underlying reason for coming to see me is related to their confidence or self-esteem. Whether a result of the ageing […]

I am thrilled and honoured to have been nominated for the prestigious Safety in Beauty Diamond Awards, in the category of Plastic Surgeon of The Year. I am very grateful to whoever nominated me (and am very curious to know!) and feel privileged to be amongst other highly respected colleagues on the shortlist. Safety in […]

In my experience I can broadly divide my patients into two groups based on their expectations for any form of plastic surgery – from a facelift through to breast surgery or body contouring surgery. The first group (Group 1) have an understanding and appreciation of their starting point and how their face, breasts or body […]

Having reduced my weight by 10 stone, I twice went abroad for body contouring surgery to the breasts, tummy and arms, which left me extremely unsatisfied with the results. I then proceeded to have multiple consultations with surgeons in the UK, none of whom filled me with much confidence. 1st December 2015 My first consultation […]

As part of everyone’s research (or virtually everyone), prior to seeing me for a consultation, they will have inevitably been on the Internet looking at before and after images. These may be from my personal gallery on my website (www.beforeandafterimages.co.uk) but it is also likely they will have looked at many other examples far and […]

We are lucky to be co-locating the event in Cripps, the major Tunbridge Wells legal firm (opposite Purity Bridge). We will be covering everything from what to do if you […]

I am continually delighted by the positive feedback and great results achievable with an upper lip lift. Yet, despite the success of the procedure, it is still not widely known about. People will often recognise what they are unhappy about or self-conscious about regarding their facial proportions, but will be unlikely to be aware of […]

As a plastic surgeon, good communication with my patients is vital at all times. This is particularly important in the pre-operative consultation process, to ensure that my patient and I are on the same wavelength, and that I ensure I am able to explain the realistic outcomes of a procedure. After all, managing expectations is […]

It is interesting how times change – in the past, whether or not someone had had Botox was discussed in hushed tones between close friends. Nowadays, where you go for your Botox is openly talked about without any concern. However, quite rightly, there remains a worry (particular for first timers), that muscle relaxing injections can […]

“How do you feel you look?” is a question I like to pose to people who come to see me to discuss facial rejuvenation. Whether they are in their 30s or 70s, the same question applies to all, and the answers they give are key. Whether they say the look tired, sad, ageing, angry or […]

My team are often asked why there is such range of prices for “a facelift” – from around £6000 to over double this price. Surely all facelifts are the same procedure? Actually…no! Even amongst plastic surgeons, there is a huge range of techniques performed, each being referred to as “a facelift”. These can range from […]
