Prof. Ghassan made me feel at ease throughout the journey. I have had consultations with other physicians previously who gave the impression of up-selling or were otherwise judgemental. Dr Ghassan is not like that at all. He's very personable, down-to-earth, and a he listens. The surgery went smoothly and I'm really pleased with the results. Highly recommend.

Where to begin, I always had small lips but as I aged my lips would basically disappear whenever my mouth moved or I smiled. I researched heavily for a permanent solution as I didn't want to keep doing fillers and also found fillers gave a very noticeable rigid appearance. I looked into procedures and found the V-Y Lip Plasty and realized there were a handful of doctors in the world prescribing this as a solution. After seeing a video of Dr Abu-Sittah explaining why he prefers this approach over the typical lip lift I knew that I wanted to go with him over other doctors. His subtle approach to making sure there's a marked improvement while at the same time making sure it feels natural for the face was exactly what I was after. After an initial consult over webcam where we discussed my goals, I communicated back and forth with his secretary and flew to London from Canada to have it done. The procedure itself was not very long and the only painful part was the actual injections to numb the lips but that was totally tolerable. The doctor and his assistant worked together like they were one mind without ever really speaking, you could tell this was second nature to them by now. Once it was over the assistant literally accompanied me to the pharmacy to make sure I was taken care of with my prescriptions for post-op recovery. Dr Abu-Sittah explained to me post-op instructions very clearly and answered all of my questions (and let me tell you I had many) before leaving us. The first week is quite brutal, to say the least. You are in pain, completely swollen and numb and it is difficult to talk, eat and sleep. My swelling/pain was still quite present on the 6th day but from that point on it started to subside and now I am almost 3 weeks out with quite minimal swelling and which will take longer to dissipate. The pain is also gone now. During my recovery, the doctor has been available to discuss any concerns I've had and comforted me when I needed reassurance about what was normal during the recovery process. His bedside manner truly sets him apart, he has really been there for me since I left to go back home from the UK. An incredible doctor yes, but also someone you can see actually see cares for others. I want to leave it on this final note. I absolutely love how my lips look now. They have more volume but not so much that it looks bizarre on my face, they look like they have always been my lips and this isn't even the final result yet. I'm only 3 weeks out. Understand that this procedure, despite being not relatively long, isn't one without real risks when compared to the traditional lip lift or fillers. The procedure involves rearranging muscle flaps in the mouth and doing this could possibly lead to asymmetry, nerve damage, etc. That is why I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH going with someone like Dr Abu-Sittah who literally has done thousands of lip surgeries of all shapes and sizes (both cosmetically and in trauma ERs) and is truly an expert when it comes to lip anatomy and avoiding these potential risks. I would give this doctor 10 stars if I could. If you are based in another country and are looking to have this done, fly to the United Kingdom and see Dr Abu-Sittah, I guarantee you will not be in better hands elsewhere, no matter the pros and cons that come with going out of country. Cheers!

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly Recommend Dr Ghassan

Very pleasant experience with Professor Abu-Sittah. Told me in great detail everything i needed to know about the procedure. Very patient with me as i was new to it and guided me throughout answering my every question. Incredibly knowledgeable in this field and overall i had a great experience- five stars!

I am thrilled with the outcome of my SCARLESS lip lift procedure. The outcome was exactly what I wanted; subtle natural red show on my upper lip without the duckiness of filler or the bull ring scar! I am so glad that I was in the hands of an experienced professor of cosmetics and the team was lovely. I didn't think the results could ever look at natural as they already do only 4 weeks later. I can't recommend Prof Gus enough and wouldn't hesitate to get in contact with him as time goes on.

Dr Ghassan is a lovely man, kind and soft natured and really makes you feel at ease. This is a bonus to his professionalism and skill. I decided to have lip lift surgery for a few reasons, I was frustrated with lip filler migration which led to me repeatedly having it dissolved, you could no longer see my teeth and I wanted a more natural look in general. I decided against the traditional bullhorn method that leaves a scar under the nose, for that reason. This method is performed inside the mouth, so it leaves no scars and the downtime was manageable. Dr Ghassan was available whenever I needed reassurance after the operation that it was healing okay and he checked the swelling. I’m very happy with the results, I have a nicer lip shape, which is fuller, but still subtle. Updated on 9 Jun 2021: Since arriving I have had an excellent service and I am grateful for the assistance. After care is also brilliant. I would strongly recommend due to helpful staff and dr. At first I was worried but it has now been eased.

Amazing Doctor, always makes me feel at ease and is very attentive; in his hands I feel relaxed and reassured and explains the procedure very well. You can tell by the way he explains the procedure that he is very experienced and knowledgeable and I would definitely return down to how calming he is as I get nervous before any surgery.

Professor Ghassan Abu Sittah provided a service which exceeded my expectations. He made me feel comfortable and reassured from my first consultation, he listened to my requirements before examining me and providing a professional, realistic option to help me achieve my desired outcome. His whole team is professional, friendly and attentive, almost 3 weeks post surgery I am delighted with the results so far. From initial telephone conversation, assessment consultation, surgery and postoperative treatment I give five stars. Thank you Professor and all your team.

I had a nose Surgery with Dr. Ghassan. I couldn't be more happy with the results. From the initial consultation it was apparent that Dr. Ghassan has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. He was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me :) I Recommend him 100% .

Highly recommend, a very pleasant experience at Rae Clinic especially Dr Ghassan who provided a comprehensive explanation. He is very professional He does a really high quality job,I’ve had dermal fillers all over my face by him,very happy with the results.reassuring and pleasant as are other members of staff.
