The Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery: Dr Julian de Silva Reviews Summary

Surgeon's Expertise

Pros:

• "Dr De Silva is an excellent surgeon."
• "Dr. Julian De Silva performed upper and lower Blepharoplasty earlier this year which included Canthopexy, fat transfer and skin resurfacing."
• "Dr De Silva has incredible attention to detail and I have gained so much confidence since my rhinoplasty and chin implant."
• "He is simply the best, with great care and attention to every fine detail in his work."
• "His skills are second to none, I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my nose."
• "The simple fact is that Julian is an excellent surgeon and to create such a natural look takes real mastery."
• "Dr. De Silva is the best surgeon!"

Cons:

• "The bone is far from smooth and the tip is horrible."
• "Julian Da Silva completely ruined my nose."
• "I know that sometimes things go wrong with plastic surgeries and I never expected to have a perfect nose but when you have 2 chances to fix something but fail that means you’re not good at it."
• "Passed more than 2 years from the second surgery he made to my nose and from a long and bent nose now I have a bit shorter but still bent and bulbous tip after 2 surgeries he’s done on me."
• "He is nothing but a cruel man in a white coat, many other surgeons will do a better job for the fraction of the price and care about their clients feelings and needs too."
• "The tip looks even wider but the real problem for me is that the bridge of the nose it’s still so big and bent on both sides."
• "It started 7 years ago when I payed 6000£ for my first rhinoplasty at his clinic, which made my nose looking horrible."

Patient Care & Experience

Pros:

• "Raquel kept checking on me throughout the afternoon & then Hannah arrived who stayed with me throughout the night, constantly checking on me."
• "The nurses were amazing, they looked after me before, during and after the surgery and made everything a very smooth process."
• "The whole team were helpful and friendly, calling me for a few days post operatively to see how I was doing."
• "The Nurse, Ellie, made sure I felt relaxed and comfortable in a lovely private room."
• "The nurses and employees who work with Dr De Silva are so caring, nothing was too much trouble."
• "All the staff from the receptionist, to the nurses and obviously Julian himself were beyond helpful and extremely easy to talk too and comforting."
• "Dr De Silva and his whole team were outstanding and looked after me exceptionally."

Cons:

• "The clinic and the doctor might seem posh as are located in the centre of London but the services and the final result are worse than what you’ll get in Turkey for not even half of the price doctor da Silva charges you."
• "Everyone should understand that aesthetic surgeries must be done after years of searching the best doctor and never trust only the good online reviews as most of them are probably fake."
• "This to me shows he is more concerned about what his work looks like to himself, than how his patients feel and how they expect surgery to make them look... I think people should avoid & shop around."
• "He instead insisted I needed the tip of my nose pinched and far more work than I had gone in for... It’s also unethical to deny someone surgery unless they take out a whole facial package deal."
• "He would ask people to do 3 or even more surgeries until he’ll do the right job. But don’t fall in trap like I did the second time."
• "I visited Julian around 3 years or so ago and the experience has left me totally damaged until this day... he was also very dismissive, unethical and unkind."
• "For myself it is a small improvement but none of my friends neither my family didn’t notice any change as none knows about."

Recovery & Results

Pros:

• "After the procedure, Dr De Silva gives valuable aftercare advice, follow this to the letter and you will be astonished at the results and recovery time."
• "The surgery itself was performed under sedation, which meant it was pain-free but allowed for a quicker recovery period."
• "I recovered very quickly and any light bruising was vanished within a week."
• "The week after the rhinoplasty I didn't feel any pain, and the recover was quick."
• "The recovery time was minimal, the majority of the swelling had disappeared after 10 days and I had very minimal bruising."
• "Recovery was pain free as well. I had no bruising."
• "The recovery process has been surprisingly easy, and the initial swelling was almost all gone after a few weeks."

Cons:

• "I did bruise and swell up quite spectacularly."
• "The next morning I woke with a huge amount of swelling distorting my face badly and at this point I did wonder what I had done."
• "Looking in the mirror immediately post surgery, my eyes were huge and swollen, but the swelling really came on the second day after the surgery and my eyes looked very bruised and tender and there was a little bleeding, which was totally normal."
• "I did have some initial concerns about swelling and consulted Dr De Silva by email on a Sunday afternoon. He responded to my email the same day."
• "I did expect to make a bigger change to my nose."
• "It has never been the same since and the results make me very conscience."
• "I appreciate Dr De Silva being so professional and saying no."
