I had considered blepharoplasty for some time due to hooded eyelids. I had always previously ruled out elective surgery but due to the ageing process (I’m 48) I decided to have consultations at two reputable clinics, Clinica London being one. I was drawn to Miss Olver over the other clinic because she instilled confidence and understood entirely my objective - which was to look natural. Miss Olver carefully explained the process to me and managed my expectations in terms of recovery. That enabled me to plan for the surgery knowing how long I’d basically need to work from home and go to ground for. I had the operation a few months after my first consultation. On the day of surgery, I had a consultation with Miss Olver and had chance to discuss any concerns and ask questions. The whole experience felt very calm and Miss Olver and all the nursing staff were caring and attentive. I felt very looked after despite my obvious nervousness about how I’d look and feel afterwards. The surgery itself took around one hour. I was awake and kept informed throughout. The worst part was the anaesthetic but even that wasn’t so bad. I felt no pain during the surgery. Afterwards I felt very numb and had difficulty fully closing my eyes for a couple of hours until the anaesthetic wore off. I rested in a room for an hour and was cared for until my friend arrived to take me home. My eyes felt sore and watery for the first couple of days and I’d definitely advise anyone having the surgery to not work for a couple of days afterwards to avoid eye strain. I also found wearing sunglasses indoors helped. I followed to the letter the after care pack provided to me however and was encouraged to go for a walk each day. The recovery went as advised with the bruising getting gradually worse and peaking at around day 6. I have fair skin and the bruising lasted for around 3 weeks but it improved a lot after around 11 days and was largely coverable with makeup. The bruising was also localised to the eye area meaning sunglasses covered everything and no one gave me a second look when I ventured outside or to the shops. Within a month all the residual bruising had gone and the swelling under and around the eyes had also subsided. I had only told two friends and both on seeing me a month post surgery said they would never have suspected I’d had eye surgery. Instead they said I looked like I’d had a “really good nights sleep” and skin smoothing treatment. Other friends and colleagues who’ve seen me and have no idea I had surgery have told me how incredibly well I look. I was dreading going back to the office but on doing so no one suspected a thing and asked if I’d been on holiday. I’d recommend Miss Olver without hesitation and am absolutely happy with the results of my surgery. I’ve had two consultations post surgery and 7 weeks on, know she is on hand should any issues arise.

Mr Avi Kulkarni, Avi is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met he makes me feel calm and explains everything in detail so I always leave his office having had the best experience. I cannot praise him enough and feel safe in his hands.

Excellent.

Excellent patient care

Very considerate in his approach and gave very good clear explanations

I had a very satisfying experience with Mr James Neffendorf. Due to the cataract surgery performed, I am now able to see better and feel more confident.

Miss Vilaro is an amazing doctor and I will say that she is very educated in her field. Her mannerisms make a person calm and collected. She takes the time to explain the full information and does not make one feel uncomfortable in any way shape or form. During the operation she was very caring ensuring that I was not in any discomfort or distress at any point of my visit. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of meeting her and the reason for me returning was 100% down to how I was made to feel the first time I ever had met Miss Vilaro. I would highly recommend her to all.

Have found Mr Saihan to be extremely thorough

Dr Patel spent time explaining diagnosis and options in order for me to make an informed decision about treatment. He is very easy to talk to and to ask questions comfortably.

At first I was apprehensive but when I finally met him he was natural, and informed me about my eyes and the process of macular degeneration in a simple and direct way. I have recommended him to my GP surgery and personal friends,
