Russell’s main interest is in breast and facial aesthetic surgery. He is meticulous in his work and prioritises ensuring natural looking enhancements that flatter the physique and facial features in such a way that remains subtle without people really being able to tell that anything has been done.
I had longed for a tummy tuck for many years. Always drawn to that part of my body and focusing on disguising it as best I could. I eventually talked my wonderful husband into letting me at least look into this procedure. Lets just say I spent a lot of time looking for the right consultant. Russell's name kept coming up and after my research I knew he was the one. I have to say his PA Avril is a cut above any PA I have ever know and I feel that she was on this journey also as she is very informative and nothing is too much trouble. Avril also gets back to you with any questions you might have. Russell Avril is a keeper !!! So onto my consultation with Russell I immediately felt at ease Russell talked over my options and best outcomes for me. That all decided I went to ross hall where all the team where first class and I knew I was in the very best of hands. If you are thinking of this procedure I cannot recommend Russell enough. My after care also amazing I am now 12 weeks surgery and the results are unbelievable. I cannot explain the difference in my body and confidence. It is a big decision it is life changing. Believe me its well worth it !! Thank you Russell, Avril and the team at Ross Hall. Jan
After 25 years of wanting a breast reduction and lots of research, I chose Russell for my procedure and I am so glad I did! He instantly put me at ease and was honest and open about the procedure and what results to expect. He listened patiently to my questions and I knew that I was in excellent hands. His secretary Avril is also amazing. She is available 24/7 and is only a text away. I had a bit of an issue with the procedure codes with Ross Hall and Avril took the time to call me while on holiday to help fix it. She really goes above and beyond. The day of the procedure Russell came to see me before surgery and we discussed the expected results again and I had the chance to ask any questions. The surgery went well and I had 1.6kg removed in total which was perfect for the look I was after. My post surgery recovery was really smooth. Minimal pain and I had no openings. The dressing that goes on post op is fantastic and stayed intact up until my follow up appointment, even with showering! The scarring is minimal, even with my pale skin and I am extremely impressed. I have went from a 36HH to a 34C/D and I can not emphasise enough how life changing it has been. I am able to run, climb hills and wear clothes that I could never in million years of before. Russell is a perfectionist and gave me exactly the result and experience I wanted. If you are in Scotland and considering this surgery then I would 100% recommend Russell - you will not regret it!
I underwent a bilateral mastopexy in April 25. I couldn’t be happier with my experience as a patient of Russel's. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. He made me feel completely at ease, listened to exactly what I was hoping for, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations - his attention to detail is immaculate and this shows in his work. The care, precision, and professionalism he showed were outstanding, and I’m so chuffed with how it all turned out — I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin than I ever have. I can't quite believe it's real! I genuinely felt looked after every step of the way. Avril (Russel's PA) has been incredibly supportive and responsive. Cannot recommend them enough.
Brilliant! Upper eyelid Surgery My experience with Dr Russell was amazing. Although nervous on my initial consultation he put me at ease quickly and listened to my thoughts on why I made the appt and how I viewed my eyes. He took notes of everything I said, outlined the problems that he could see and gave me a copy when the consultation finished. The surgery went very well, all staff putting me at my ease and being very friendly and informative. The injections were a bit uncomfortable but absolutely nothing to complain about. The procedure went smoothly and it was over within the hour. I was given a bag to take home with me with cool gels eye pads, cream and aftercare information once I had rested up for a bit. I returned later to have the stiches removed and was then given a follow up appt with Dr Russell. He was very pleased with the healing process, as was I. All in all a pain free experience, in beautiful surroundings with an excellent Surgeon and lovely friendly Nurses and staff.
I had breast uplift surgery with Russell in Jan 2025. I’m absolutely delighted with the results. I had 3 consultations with Russell, he was patient and candidly addressed all my questions. I honestly couldn’t believe how straight forward the surgery was, I only ever required simple pain relief (paracetamol and ibuprofen), on discharge the hospital provided dihydrocodeine but I never experienced significant pain post op. My only regret is not having the operation years ago, it has increased my confidence in every aspect of my life. I highly recommend Russell he is meticulous in his approach at every stage of the patients journey.
Russell was fabulous from start to finish, the whole team were ! He answered all my queries and concerns with complete confidence and I felt as ease straight away. I was so unhappy with my tummy and overhang of skin which affected my confidence hugely. My procedure was straightforward with no complications. I am now 9 weeks post surgery and I am very happy with my results !! I would not hesitate to reccommend Russell and his team to anyone.
For me the thought of having face/ neck surgery was something something daunting which I was reluctant to embrace…..after having skin tightening, thread lifts there came to a point where nothing was working for me .. I then began researching as I really wanted to find the best surgeon . I came across Russell Bramhill and was impressed with his approach and work. It was forward thinking. At my initial consultation Russell was totally realistic, honest, reassuring and there was absolutely no pressure… I decided to go ahead as I trusted his judgement. I am now 2 months post op and I am delighted with my result as it very natural. I would recommend Russell as he is highly skilled,meticulous and a perfectionist. He is truly gifted and for anyone out there considering this please be reassured that you are truly in safe hands.
I had Blepharoplasty procedure at the beginning of January, carried out by Russell and his team @ McKeown Medical. Russell explained the procedure thoroughly at our earlier consultation. On the day Russell and his team chatted away, felt very at ease. I am so delighted with results I went out and bought new eye shadow for my holidays 4 weeks after procedure, which I hadn't done for years as you couldn't see my lids. It has given me my confidence back.
I cannot praise Dr Bramhall enough Wow !! What an amazing job he has done on my upper eyelids. When i look in the mirror i can see my younger self in my eyes. No more tired hooded lids. Dr Bramhall explained everything in great detail and i felt very safe in his hands. I now feel confident to not have my glasses on all the time and love how smooth my eyeshadow goes on. He truly is an artist and i would highly recommend him.
Very friendly and professional. Russel made me feel relaxed and at ease, explaining the procedure and process without me feeling pressured into having the procedure done. Follow up appointments were also very good, answering any questions I had. If you’re thinking about booking a procedure with Russel, don’t hesitate, it’s the best decision I made. I feel so confident now and can honestly say, there was no pain during or after surgery.
Hello! Thank you for your question. I really don't think a facelift is in your best interests at 27yrs old. If you ask enough surgeons, one might eventually agree to do it for you, but I suspect you wouldn't be happy with the results which are unlikely to achieve what you're hoping for. You would be adding quite a lot of scarring, sizeable surgery with risks and costs at a still tender age. It's difficult to say exactly why you may be experiencing these changes to your face. Sometimes it is just the position that your muscles of facial expression exert into the skin and these can become more obvious. Sometimes judicious use of HA fillers can be used to help camouflage some of these changes, but you also need to be very careful about over use of fillers so need to seek the advice of someone who specialises in using these to achieve results that are as natural as possible. It's difficult to see your acne scarring on these photographs, but if you do have significant scarring laser resurfacing is often good for these. Again though, it's not without risks so definitely worth doing your research thoroughly and seeking the advice of someone who specialises in this. Good luck with it all anyway and definitely avoid surgery for now! Take care, Russell.
Hello Joey. Thank you for your question. The first thing to do is to speak to your surgeon. It's difficult to give much meaningful advice without having either examined you in person or seen all your pre and post-op photos. However, all facelifts tend to loosen off a little over the first 6-12 months. Most people tighten the deep layer quite a lot and the skin less so over the top. Most of the swelling usually resolves over the first few weeks, which can then make the skin then look a little less tight, though this usually just improves the result and makes everything appear more natural. You'll still have most of the deeper tissue tightness remaining. An 80% correction of the jowls would probably be considered about average, though most surgeons strive to achieve more than this. Regarding the neck swelling, at 6 months after a face and neck lift with liposuction under the chin, almost all of the swelling should have resolved here, though it is true that you may still have a hint of this left. Liposuction will never get rid of all of the fat excess under the chin. It is best considered a fat reduction technique that usually removes around half of the fat sitting superficially just under the skin, but above the platysma muscle. It doesn't usually remove all of this superficial fat. It also doesn't remove any of the deeper fat sitting underneath the platysma muscle. There are techniques to do this, but they all involve a bigger scar under the chin (deep anterior neck reduction, usually combined with a platysmaplasty). There are pros and cons of each of these techniques and your surgeon would be best placed to go through these with you. Good luck with it all anyway! Take care, Russell.
Hello, It's a little difficult to tell from the photos without examining you in person. I'm sure if someone qualified has examined you and feels an upper blepharoplasty alone will leave you uneven there will be a reason for it. However, from the photos it just looks like you have a little more skin excess on one side than the other, as is really very common and would still usually be corrected with a standard upper blepharoplasty, removing a little more on the side that needs it. Hope that helps. Sounds like you should go and see another surgeon that does a lot of these for another opinion in person. Good luck with it all anyway! Russell
Hello, Thank you for your question. It sounds like you've already done some research as you've come to the right conclusion already. The excess skin in your upper eyelid is best corrected as part of an upper blepharoplasty procedure. This is simple to do under local anaesthetic and takes about 30-60mins. Most plastic surgeons would be very happy doing this for you. It's a little difficult to tell for definite from these photos, but your lateral brow looks fine. It should be slightly above the bony part at the top of your orbit, which it clearly is. Good luck! Russell
Hello, Thank you for your question. Most of the eyelid treatments apart from surgery don't really tend to work very well I'm afraid. The best treatment for excess eyelid skin is usually surgery. Upper eyelid surgery is pretty straight forward. Lower eyelid surgery is considerably more complicated. It's therefore worth going to see someone that does a lot of them for some advice before spending lots of time not things that are unlikely to give you the results you are looking for. Good luck with it all anyway! Russell
