Dominic Bray is a Genius

A couple of shots from a recent photo shoot. I’m loving my jaw line and I just don’t feel 55 any more. I haven’t liked photos of me for years but I don’t have to feel concerned any more when someone gets the camera out. Dominic Bray has made such a difference to my life and he’s done such a good job, it’s so natural. It’s all I hoped for and more.

I have just got married and I am so please with my wedding photos. I had reached that stage where I hated all photos of me because of my sagging neck and jowls but I have a jaw line now and it makes such a difference!

I would just like to share with everyone who is considering a face lift, my experience with Dominic Bray.
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.
