In November 2014 I became ill with pernicious anemia causing me to loose a lot of weight, and so I gained dark lines under my eyes. My looks have changed a lot since having the illness, so I have lost a lot of confidence and been very unhappy with how I look. I now appear much older and always look exhausted, unwell and undernourished.
I researched for over a year to try and find a solution to the problem with my dark under eyes, and finally after reading many stories I found Raman Malhotra on Real Self.
I noticed there were a couple of bad reviews on him which started from one girl's thread, so I was a bit 50/50 to whether or not I should proceed with my consultation as it cost £200 which is pretty expensive. I couldn't find any other professional surgeon specialising in eyes that I liked the work of, so I thought I would take a risk because the good reviews out weighed the bad.
I was SOOOO happy I did choose Dr Raman Malhotra , because I couldn't have even dreamed of a more perfect consultation. The moment I stepped inside his office I felt welcome and greeted in a genuine way.
Everything was very professional and detailed. I have a big medical history and a lot of medical problems, but Dr Raman Malhotra took his time to address everything. Because of my allergy to bees, he told me that it was best to under fill the eyes on my first time so the dissolvable solution would not be needed as it was too risky.
Dr Raman Malhotra was very patient of my needle phobia, and kindly played some background music to calm my nerves and let me close my eyes so I didn't have to see the needles. The nurse was so lovely and really helped to take the edge off of my fear. She talke to me the whole time and I didn't pannic and cry like I normally do with needles.
I had to ice under the eye area before the restylane was going to be injected. It was a very strange feeling when the solution was going in. It wasn't a typical sensation of needles. I heard weird clicking and crunching noises. It was very bizzare for me since it was my first ever experience of any injectibles to the face. It wasn't really painful like I expected. Just weird!!!
Overall the experience was pleasant and calming. I was allowed to get up in between each session to check how my eyes looked in the mirror. I could see instant results. It was amazing. My mum came with me and she was impressed too.
I was in the clinic for 1.5 hours, so that just shows how much care was taken with my consultation and procedure. I cannot wait to go back again for my top up in a couple of months time. I will add some images of my progress so you can see the results.
I would highly recommend Dr Raman Malhotra to everyone based in London and the UK. He is the lovliest guy I have ever met, and I hope my review will help others that may have been put off by the negative comments on here.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Your results look great. I was thinking about using Restylane for my cheeks. Thanks for adding about the needles . Im trying to psyche myself up for that part.

Hey... Have you progressed any further into your cheek restylane decision?? It is a very big decision to make on who to choose and how much to get done etc... But if you pick the right Dr you will be very happy.
I have to self inject everyday due to my illness and I had to get hypnotherapy for my phobia. I still hate other people injecting me though. It is actually more painful having my daily injections compared to restylane. It's not really painful to be honest. The odd one stings but it's more just the strange feeling around the eyes. I cannot comment on the cheeks though....

Please look into the raw vegan diet and detoxification to reverse and completely clear your illness. Also look into a naturopathic doctor on YouTube who heals all illnesses and diseases that medical doctors treat with pharmaceuticals!
His name is dr robert morse. He is based in Florida but does Skype consults and has natural herbal medicines to treat all areas of the body and all ailments and they are very powerful in conjunction with a 100% raw vegan diet to detox and get rid of toxins and damage to the body. Might be overwhelming to read this or you might think its b.s but i promise you it isn't.
Just going back to nature and organic natural food from the earth as god intended. If you email or call his clinic in Florida his staff can answers all your Questions and help to get you on the right track. If you need anything just msg me and i can send you all the info and links. Have a blessed day x
p.s i have had quite a few health issues - and all reversed and healed with a raw vegan diet and dr robert morse herbal meds. Took about a year of dedication and hard work but i am alive and feeling amazing.

Thank you for your diligent posting of photos. I am 41 and am having my first treatment in about a week. I'm just dipping my toe into these waters and am having the minimal amount done in my cheek area just around my eyes. It might take up to 2 syringes but probably less. In your opinion, (and I know everyone is different), how long does it take before swelling goes down and do you have any advice for makeup tips? You look wonderful by the way!

I have noticed less lines under eyes now. Even though I have slight bruising, I dont have the hollow areas any more. My eye area looks much fresher. Cant wait until all swelling / bruising has gone. All my images are without make-up to show the true results.

You look so pretty, thank you for posting! You mentioned that you went the under-filled route because of your allergy. How many units did you have?

Hi there. Thanks for your lovely comment. I had rhinoplasty 1 week after my restylane treatment so I have not posted since because I am now a little bruised under eyes from my op. I noticed improvements everyday though. And even now the hollows are gone.
