Dominic Bray is a Genius
Dominic Bray is a Genius
I decided to have a face and neck lift in October 2018 and began my research. I used this site but also the main surgeons websites to get an understanding of the procedures used. I was immediately attracted to Dominic because he had multiple views of faces he had worked on, from immediately after surgery up to a year post. I also liked the idea that I didn’t have to have a general anaesthetic. Dominic only does facial plastic surgery and nothing else, which I think is a good thing. He has carried out over 1000 face lifts!
I made an appointment to see him and he advised what I should have based on my concerns. He’s a really lovely guy and so reassuring.
I booked my surgery for January 2019.
The clinic in Tunbridge Wells has its own operating theatre, overnight accommodation with a nurse on hand all night.
I was awake during the surgery but very drowsy and felt absolutely nothing. I had no idea of time but it took about 4 hours apparently. After the surgery I went to my room with ice packs. It was a difficult week I cannot lie with little sleep to begin with and constant application of ice to reduced the swelling but by the time I went back for my first week review and stitch removal, I felt fine.
I was still swollen and a bit lop sided but with very little bruising and could see it was fantastic. As the weeks went on and the swelling went down and the skin softened up, I was just thrilled. The scaring at 3 months is practically invisible and I wear my hair up or behind my ears most of the time. I got just what I wanted. I look so much like me, my son, whom I hadn’t seen for 2 months, didn’t even notice I’d had a face lift! I look like the younger, fresher version of me. People who don’t know about my surgery but see me often have commented on how well I look and have said ‘I’m glowing’. I had a small problem with one of the internal stitches which my body decided it didn’t like. Dominic performed a small surgery under local anaesthetic, cutting around the bottom of my ear again to remove the stitch and scar tissue. This completely sorted the problem and you would never know he had done it. I have to say the attention to detail in the stitches is amazing, you just can’t see the scars. I’m so impressed with this man and I can’t promote his genius enough. I just love what he has done and I can have photos taken with confidence now.
The team are also amazing and so caring. Thank you all for what had been initially the scariest but best decision of my life. I have absolutely no regrets at all and would gladly recommend this fantastic surgeon.

That’s exactly what I wanted. A younger, fresher version of me. I didn’t want to look like someone else or like I had had a face lift. That’s why I chose Dominic Bray. He’s a genius and understands faces totally.
Good luck - you won’t need it, and look forward to the new, younger version of you. X
This is why I chose this surgeon as he understands faces so well. I wanted to look just like me but younger and fresher. See my comments to the other lady above.
He is a little more expensive than some but I didn’t want to take any chances with my face and I am thrilled with the results. When I look in the mirror, I see me 10 years ago and I feel so happy about that. I used to look in the mirror and see my mother!

I don’t feel at all right now but it can take up to a year to get all the feeling back apparently.
Thank you so much and you are right, he is just so so good at keeping it natural. He does nothing but facelifts and has performed over 1000 of them. I did my research too and the way he does it leaves the best result. He has a new website coming out soon and some the people featured on there look fabulous. I was so worried people would look at me and say ‘that woman’s had a face lift’ but even some of my friends, whom I hadn’t seen for a while, didn’t realise. They just thought I was looking really well!
