Best of the Best!
Incredible experience all round and natural looking results.
I went to see Dr Julian De Silva for a deep plane facelift, upper and lower bleph and eyebrow lift for Ptosis.
I had originally seen Dr Julian De Silva for a consultation back in 2017 and had followed his work for years, so I was familiar with his style of surgery and artistry. I had studied his work of the ‘Golden Ratio’ and even bought his book years ago.
When I turned 40, I started noticing my jowls getting really bad (I had actually noticed these jowls slowly forming at the age of 33) , loose skin over my eyelids to the extent that I could no longer wear eyeshadow any longer, as it just creased everytime I tried to wear it.
It really started to affect my confidence and I didn’t like looking in the mirror, I was just looking tired.
Over the last 5 years, I have had botox and filler, but it got to a stage where it was not lifting my face in the way it used to when I was younger.
At my first consultation, Dr Julian and his team immediately made me feel at ease. His wonderful team - Sarah, Mags, Mackez, Adam and the lovely nurses Alice, Josie and Kelly were all very kind and welcoming. I instantly felt at home.
It’s a lovely energy when you go into 23 Harley Street and everything, including the operating theater is there.
Dr Julian De Silva’s kind, humble and calm nature made him stand out from the rest of surgeons that I had seen over the years. I didn't feel rushed, and he listened and understood my concerns.
He explained to me about hyper mobility, where the skin can stretch at a younger age and this made sense why I was seeing premature signs of aging such as ptosis and jowls forming.
I felt relieved that finally a top surgeon understood how I was feeling and didn't immediately turn me away dismissing me because of my age saying I was too young etc.
I knew straight away that he was the surgeon for me.
A strong gut feeling and I trusted him 100%.
I knew of his natural looking results from his previous work with other patients.
He is truly an artist and has very fine attention to detail in his work. - Just look at his analysis of Renee Zellweger video on YouTube and you’ll understand what I mean.
The morning of the surgery I was very excited and a bit nervous. I met with Will, the Anesthetist who was very nice and reassuring and put my mind at ease about the local anesthetic and sedation.
I was not nervous about what Julian would do to my face as I trusted him and his work but more the fact of the anesthetic and sedation - losing control. I have had anesthetic in the past and been very sick afterwards throwing up numerous times, but Will assured me that this would not happen as they used sedation and local anesthetic instead of General Anesthetic.
I remember going into the theatre and seeing Julian, Joanna the other doctor who was very reassuring and Will. Kelly the nurse who was looking after me was also there and I remember they had a big picture of me on a screen, next to another picture of me when I was 29 years old for comparison.
The last thing I remember was holding the nurse Kelly’s hand and feeling nervous about the sedation and losing control. She was very kind, holding my hand and reassuring me throughout and I don’t remember anything else!
I was asleep throughout the whole surgery and then remembered waking up at the end. I had no sickness and no grogginess at all!
I stayed the night at 23 Harley Street and I would say the first night was the most uncomfortable and a bit of pain but was given painkillers etc…I had a lovely night nurse looking after me who was on hand the whole time and gave me the medicine.
From then on, the healing took place and as the days went on I could start to see the results.
I would say from week 2.5, I was able to go out in public, I did still look swollen but by then it had gone down significantly. At 3 weeks I was confident to carry on with activities, go into the office, and continue my social life.
I had regular follow ups at 23 Harley Street and was very well taken care of by Dr Julian De Silva and his team. I was offered complimentary red light therapy and oxygen therapy which helped the swelling and bruising and was relaxing at the same time.
It is just over 3 months now since I had the operation and I am delighted with the results!
It looks so natural and fresh. I still look like me but a fresher younger version of me that no longer looks tired.
My jowls have completely gone and I have my v shape jawline back. Dr Julian told me that the skin had dropped 2.5 centimeters and that is how much he had to lift it up again, which is a lot for someone my age and testament to the hyper mobility.
I can now wear eyeshadow without it creasing and my eyebrows are back to where they were pre ptosis!
My confidence has come back and I am feeling so much more positive about how I look!
I put off going on a dating site pre surgery because I just felt I looked so tired and my confidence was low but now post surgery, I have had the courage and confidence to put myself out there.
My experience with Dr Julian De Silva and his team was second to none - No other surgeon could have done better work on me.
What I like about Dr Julian De Silva is his humbleness and integrity. He is also a true artist - He will look at the symmetry of your face and treat it like a work of art - this goes beyond just surgery, this is artistry. From my results, especially around my eyes I can see how intricate and finely done with attention to detail he has done everything which makes for such natural results.
The whole experience from the first consultation right through to the 3 month mark with several visits in between has been so enjoyable for me. I truly loved the whole experience of my trips up to 23 Harley Street. He has a wonderful team who make you feel at home and comfortable straight away, they are very accommodating and always on hand with any questions or concerns you may have. It’s a lovely energy there.
I have had consultations with other top surgeons in London and their teams over the last few years but none have been on this level. Dr Julian and his team are a rare find.
I’m so pleased and grateful I picked Dr Julian De Silva and his team - I want to go back and get more things done for the joy of the whole experience, which says a lot!!
