WORTH IT
At 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.

Hi, you look great. Was just wondering why you decided to write a review 3 years after your facelift? Are the after photos taken soon after surgery, or are they recent? I'm a bit confused by your review to be honest! You refer to another review, but there is no sign of it on here - is it under a different username?
Anyway, it's always good to hear about good UK facelift surgeons, so thank you for your review.

Hi,
I wrote this review this week because up until this week Paul Tulley had not been on this website.
During an appointment when I was having Botox, we were chatting and he told me that he had joined RealSelf so I said I would leave him a review. I think his work is so well done that I thought he deserved it.
Both photographs were three years ago. The first two was obviously the before and the second two were three months later. I did actually write a review the day before this one, however it wouldn't allow me to upload any photos or video as I kept getting an error message. Hence this review. The first review was in the same username and I can see it on my computer...that's very odd isn't it!

This was my first review...Without any photographs....and you're right, when I clicked on the link to it it said that it didn't exist! How very strange! so I have copied and pasted it into this comment box. Hope this clears up the confusion!

I had a face lift in June 2014 performed by Paul Tulley and couldn't have been happier with the result. He is such a meticulous measurement taker, double and triple checking before making his markings....this alone should give someone confidence in his abilities as a surgeon and the care he will take. I have included a video with this review as I firmly believe that a picture can tell a thousand words. All in all, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Paul as a surgeon. He is thorough, meticulous and skilful as a surgeon...and when next I feel my face updating it will be Paul who I contact! What can I say that I have not said before about this incredibly skilled cosmetic surgeon? He is all of the following and more: Talented, skilful, thoughtful, thorough, meticulous, personable, always replies to emails or messages left and goes well beyond that elusive "Extra Mile" to get you the very best possible result.

You look amazing..Much younger and significantly prettier than in the first set of before pics. If your doctor were closer, I would be making a consult. DId he fill your lips?

It did the same with me when I was writing a review! You look lovely and refreshed! Love your eyebrows.
