FIND A VERIFIED DOCTORI had a face lift with Mr Tulley two years ago in March 2024. I decided to wait before writing a review, to be fully sure of the ‘final’ results. I’m very happy with the result and I feel the face lift achieved exactly what I was hoping it would. The scars are basically unnoticeable and the result looks very natural. I had a general anaesthetic and was apprehensive because I’d never had one before. I think Mr Tulley only does face lifts under a general and I think it’s a wise decision. The anaesthetist (Dr Bhagrath) was absolutely lovely and very caring and set my mind at rest. If you want to talk to someone who’s had the surgery, you’re welcome to ask Mr Tulley’s office to put you in touch with me. He put me in touch with a former patient during my decision-making process and it was very helpful. You might be wondering why only 4 stars and not 5. I felt I had to take off one star because of an avoidable complication that made the recovery process a lot more stressful and unpleasant than it needed to be (details below). However, I was impressed with how Mr Tulley dealt with the complication and I think some surgeons, faced with the same issue, may have acted in a way that was more deserving of 2 or 3 stars. I felt I had to give 4 stars because hearing about other people’s much easier face lift recoveries, I really wish mine had been like that too. — The complication — During surgery there was some damage done to my salivary gland in one cheek. This meant that after surgery saliva started leaking into my cheek and causing a large pocket of fluid, which later started leaking out of my skin through the incision. For the first few days Mr Tulley wasn’t sure what was causing the fluid, but he was very attentive and saw me for multiple follow-up appointments to drain the fluid and investigate the cause. About 10 days after surgery we determined the cause of the problem and it was fixed by having a different specialist inject botox into the gland to stop it producing saliva while it healed. When the botox wore off after a couple of months, it was completely healed. Although we ultimately resolved the problem, the two weeks following surgery were incredibly stressful and worrying for me, without much support as I’d only told one person I was having the surgery. When I should have been relaxing, I was travelling to appointments with Mr Tulley every couple of days and feeling constantly worried about the long term outcome. The side of my face without the complication healed so quickly and painlessly - I wish the whole experience had been like that. For a long time I could feel that the healing of the complication side was very delayed but finally now, 2 years on, I think both sides feel equally good. — Why future patients need NOT be concerned — This complication had never happened to Mr Tulley before after 500 face lifts and I’m really confident it won’t happen to him again, now that he’s had first hand experience of it. If it does, he’ll recognise it immediately and it will be dealt with very fast, so in that sense I don’t think it’s anything future patients need to worry about.

He listened carefully to what I wanted and explained everything clearly, which made me feel completely confident and at ease. The results are better than I ever imagined — my nose looks natural, balanced, and suits my face perfectly. I genuinely love it. Mr Tulley’s skill and attention to detail are exceptional, and I’m so grateful for the care I received throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Mr Paul Tulley to anyone considering rhinoplasty. An outstanding surgeon and a wonderful person.
...read moreFrom the moment I met Paul (&his assistant becki)I knew that he would be the doctor to perform my surgery. He was fantastic, gave his honest opinion based on what I wanted and was professional from start to finish. I have wanted a BBA for years and have thought about it for a long time, so to finally go ahead I was quite nervous. He made me feel totally at ease. Beforehand and again on the day him and his team explained everything, and I went down more excited and very few nerves. My result is all I’ve ever wanted (even more so after having my 2 children), my scars only 6 week post op can hardly be seen and my confidence has gone through the roof. If you want a professional, helpful and fantastic in his field surgeon, I would recommend Paul to everyone (I already have to numerous friends) Thank you Paul for making me feel a million dollars - I’m sure I’ll be back at some point for more!x
...read moreI have wanted a rhinoplasty for twenty years and finally took the plunge July this year (2018). I have had consultations from a few surgeons over the years, but decided to go for it after meeting with Mr Tulley. From the first appointment he was very attentive. Taking measurements and photos from the first appointment; he really understood what I wanted to change about my nose. Despite how keen I was to have a rhinoplasty, I was still very nervous, and he was happy to meet me for several appointments, which I really appreciated. The staff in his surgery were also so kind and friendly. And really put me at ease on the morning of my surgery. I am just over three months post op and loving my new improved nose. I wanted subtle changes. And Mr Tulleys skill clearly demonstrates that he understands how to give you a final result that will perfectly balance the rest of your features. I also had an issue with my nostrils being very different heights, which has been resolved too. The aftercare has also been really good. With regular catch ups to review the process. I had a little mishap a few days after surgery, and got in touch with the practice and they were so helpful. I would highly recommend Paul Tulley for Rhinoplasty. And I do want another cosmetic procedure in the future, which I will definitely be entrusting Mr Tulley with. NB: patience is REALLY important. I never appreciated how long the healing process takes, even though I was told it can be a year, even two, to see the final result. It is in the last month that I am seeing more definition to the tip.
...read moreA flawless experience throughout, from initial meetings, day of procedure, results and aftercare. The mini facelift procedure has turned out extremely well and would wholeheartedly recommend Paul to others considering cosmetic surgery.
I had considered having Rhinoplasty for around seven years and had done extensive research into finding the best surgeon possible . This is where i found Mr Paul Tulley , I booked my surgery after the first consultation and i was 100% sure that i had made the right decision. I had 2 consultations before my surgery and spoke with Mr Paul Tulley at the hospital before i went in. I definitely would recommend Mr Paul Tulley if anyone is thinking about having a rhinoplasty procedure, I now have the perfect nose .
...read moreYou do not realise the magnitude of what you have done for me May 25, 2018 I have been looking forward to writing a review on plastic surgeon Mr Paul Tulley. Let me start by saying a very big thank you to Mr Tulley from the bottom of my heart. Paul, you might not realise the magnitude of what you have done for me. I can never forget you for the rest of my life as you have put so much joy, confidence and high self-esteem in me. After losing and keeping off 15kg in weight over nine years from exercising and having two children by Caesarean section, I had been carrying a huge amount of excess skin in my abdomen which has always made me sad and unconfident no matter what I wore. You have turned this around. It will be nearly four weeks since I had my abdominoplasty and everything has gone extremely smoothly and the recovery is still ongoing. I highly recommend Mr Paul Tulley for anyone looking for a first-class plastic surgeon. I met Mr Paul Tulley in person four months before my surgery and I knew straight away he would be the one. He spoke to me with a lot of confidence in the job he does. He answered every question and gave me the best advice on what he would be doing. I am still healing but 100% satisfied already. Mr Paul Tulley pays attention to detail, is very caring and was extremely responsive when asked any questions. I am yet to fully come to terms with my new body as he did an excellent job. Paul, thank you so so much. Ms AB, Cape Town Abdominoplasty
...read moreAt the time of my face lift I was fifty seven, and I think looking every single one of my years. I felt that I looked tired and certainly well past my best. Now, whilst I don't expect to look eternally youthful, I do hope that I will be able to look well and rested. So often as we grow old...unless we've been blessed with extraordinary genes (and clearly I haven't), then we will inevitably start to look tired and possibly far more grumpy than we actually feel as our skin loses it's elasticity. This is not how I want to grow old. I want to be able to look at myself and think that I don't look too bad. I'm a firm believer in being the one who controls how I feel and look and if there's something that bothers me, I just get on and do something about it! Before I started writing my review I asked Paul to send me my "Before" pictures and to be quite frank, when I saw them I hardly recognised myself...I actually thought "Good grief! I never realised I was so old and ugly!!!" Still, that's why we seek the expertise of someone, who, in another life, could have been a sculptor...and that is Mr.Paul Tulley. I also have no doubt whatsoever, that in the next few years I shall be using Paul's talent as a cosmetic miracle worker again....the first time has to be the hardest right? I recently caught myself thinking that it was quite fortunate that Paul is so young because he is not going to retire before I'm well into my dotage! If you have read my other review, then you will realise that I am one very happy bunny....despite you now seeing the rather serious photographs! ???? However, I wanted to upload pictures and a video. Each time I tried, I ran into the same error message. So hear I am again. I have told Paul that I am more than happy to talk to any of his patients considering a facelift, if that would put their mind at rest.
...read moreLast year in November 2014 I decided to do a Thigh Reduction and Lift with Mr. Tulley. He removed over 3kg of fat from around my thighs and the surgery went very well. I went home the next day and my recovery was rapid as I followed Mr. Tulley post-operative care instructions to the letter, wearing the support tights 24 hours a day for the first week. I didn’t take many pain killers as it was not necessary. My legs now look more shapely and I’m very happy with the results! I can't praise Mr Tulley enough, he really cares about obtaining the desired results for his patients. I have been back to him for another procedure and I recommend him whole heartedly.
...read moreHaving followed quite a few stories I thought I would add mine. I am 66 years old and was around 36 G/H. To think I used to wear 34C/D....back in the day when that was pretty much the largest size. From my perspective (looking down) I was pretty oblivious as to my actual size until someone one made a comment at work...from then on I was very self-conscious. Buying clothes was a nightmare and the only exercise I settled on was yoga but doing shoulder stands wasn’t a lot of fun. I approached a PS about 10 years ago but didn’t feel confident about going ahead considering I was still working and I didn’t want the added attention. But I had been thinking about it ever since and I finally plucked up the courage to find someone. I went to MyBreast.org in London and was pleased to discover that one of the founders was the original PS I had seen. He has moved to a different location and I wanted Central London. I bought a book called “Less is More” to give me some information and had a first consultation. It is difficult to have more than one choice because most charge for that first consultation.I then thought that I couldn’t have a complete stranger do the surgery so I booked a second consultation with the same PS which they were happy to do. Having made my decision, the date got pushed back. I had in the meantime come off HRT and was now suffering hot flushes which did not aid my recovery. Everything seemed to go well...pre op swab tests for MRSA (clear) and the admittance time was a reasonable 9:30am (Operation happened at 1:00pm ...remember waking up at 4:45pm with it all over). After returning to my room, I ate a bit, watched TV and sent emails! Couldn’t sleep ..had to call nurse every time I wanted the loo because I had drains in both breasts. One drained a little the other drained nothing. Was well bandaged up ....but I could see their size and all night I felt I had gone too far. It will take a while for me to accept my new shape (and to work on reducing my stomach which now is all too apparent). My worst pain was having a sore throat from the tube that had been inserted. Room was fine, night staff excellent but felt like I was being pushed out the next day. Surgeon couldn’t get to see me the next morning which I wasn’t happy about so insisted on seeing the night doctor to get discharged. My first appointment was a week later which I was very glad about. What with hot flushes, pain killers (whose side effects can be sweats) and mild weather, I was just cooking. I think my bandages should have been changed on the Friday and again on the Monday. Resident Medical Officer at hospital changed dressings and took a swab ...apparently I had picked up MRSA ...odd considering I was the only one in overnight! I took the recommended antibiotics, pain killers and just rested for a week. I had invited friends around but in the end couldn’t face it. I was shaky after the operation but otherwise the pain was manageable. I found it harder not to raise or push up with my arms. It is now 16 days and I find it hard to remember the first couple of days. I do remember that I took far too much to the hospital...they provide what you need and it was only one night. At home, I bought in food but nothing tasted right for a couple of days. Staying hydrated is best. Everything I saw on TV or read was just fuzziness...make no decisions for the first two weeks at least! I was very creaky about moving the first couple of days but that passed. The same with the pain...it hurt but it was bearable. Now that I have done the two weeks downtime I want to get going but am spending time going back and forth between the surgeon and the hospital getting my dressings changed. I am still suffering from oozing from under both my breasts, one worse than the other. Hopefully that will clear soon and I will be well on my way to the shops! I can’t believe I did it....
