Not having the luxury of good genes , a mother and grandmother who both had very wrinkled faces from middle age even though neither smoked or drank alcohol , I looked into the mirror around 10 years ago and realised that I had inherited all their facial aging negatives After some research into Plastic / Cosmetic surgeons I had an extensive consultation with Dr Waterhouse and booked myself in for a brow lift, lower face lift, liposuction on my neck and a chemical peel around the mouth area.
The procedures went well and the results were excellent . Within 3 weeks I was able to carry on with life but now with a fresh defined face . Friends and collegues commented on how well I looked , new hairstyle etc and no one ever asked me if I had surgery. Thats GOOD surgery and I have always highly reccommended Dr Waterhouse and his caring and profesional team (Especially Nurse Hoppy )
Without any hesitation ten days ago just after my 65th birthday I was back in the operating theatre once again , this time having a lower face lift and another chemical peel arround the mouth area . Doctor Waterhouse and I both agreed that the upper face didn't need any more work but the aging process never actually stops although surgery can move the clock back.

I have felt fine from day one and have to say that the recovery period has speeded up so much I could have returned to work within 8 days.Their wonder cream "HEAL " possibly has something to do with the fast healing of the peel and once again I can already see a great improvement in my face, which I know will get even better as it all settles down.
I would like to thank Dr Waterhouse and his staff once again and if any of you ladies out there are thinking of face lifts etc . check out the excellent video of questions and answers on the website as he is totally honest about all the procedures .

I will be very happy and confidant in sending my daughter to Dr Waterhouse in the future should she wish to have any surgery and that has to be the best recomendation of all.

Sounds like you got great results and are very happy with your surgeon! Do you happen to know what's in the HEAL cream? It sounds fabulous!

I don't know but you can check out the cream at victoria health who retail it. It was developed by Dr Waterhouse and other surgeons in London

I think this review would of been more believable if we had seen some photos of the work.

Agree with lisbeth50 - so many suspicious reviews I have come across recently and these type of reviews put me off more than no revies. Its so obvious they are not genuine! Alarm bells ringing immediately. I understand as well people might not want to show picture of their face hence why a lot of photos block out eyes etc but still show results. Am going to ignore this review :-)

The review is totally true and honest
My daughter who is 47. Also had her upper eyelids done by dr Waterhouse in December 2015 with a very good result .
