I recently underwent surgery for an island flap reconstruction around a lesion site on my lower left leg, as well as a sentinel lymph node biopsy in my left groin. I am pleased to share my experience and provide a review of the procedure. My experience with the island flap reconstruction and sentinel lymph node biopsy was positive, and I am grateful for the expertise of Mr Damir Kosutic and the surgical team, my recovery is going very well. Mr Kosutic is a detailed surgeon and explains everything in an easy to digest manner, putting you at ease straight away. I am happy with my overall experience.

My eyelids had become very droopy, pushing down on my lashes. I just wanted a very subtle lift, nothing drastic. I've always had a fold and wanted that to remain, just not the droop. I was very repetitive and clear. The AI modeling that was done at consultation turned out to be filters, there was no ability to then tailor to the person, and I don't look like that anyway so perhaps I'm missing the point. I'm now almost 7 weeks out and my deepest fear has come true. There is almost no fold left to speak of, the scars are so high that they're very visible. My lids are now extremely prominent with minimal skin folding over. I can fully close my eyes, so functionally everything works at least. But aesthetically this was my worst-case outcome and the reason I waited so long to have the surgery in the first place. I've since met with a top eyelid reconstruction surgeon in the US (granted, at 4 weeks and he did say at that point there was still swelling). But even then, he said my scars were "crazy high", and looking at 'before' photos, that the amount removed was "aggressive". I don't look like myself, and in several months will need to undergo expensive reconstruction surgery. I have refused to engage with this surgeon anymore though he keeps asking me to come in, as he repeatedly tells me he didn't take off much (I can look in the mirror and see every day that's not true), and I see no point as I do not trust him. The scars aren't 'hidden in the crease', they're way above them and very visible even with the tons of concealer and fake glasses I now wear. The entire shape of my eyes has now changed, it isn't a subtle removal. I think it's clear that I'm extremely upset with this entire experience.

From the moment one discovers Jonathan (mine was from online research where many routes triangulated to him) I believe one feels in safe and superbly reassuring hands!. I felt Jonathan's interest in my concern was genuine, listening with concern and empathy whilst applying his clearly vast plastic surgery experience to understand the treatment protocols that would work best for me. The result of our initial consultation discussions meant I came away with a real anatomical understanding of the root causes of my concern along with a full explanation of the prescribed procedure and how/why it would work. This left me feeling there was a way forward and I was in the hands of someone who spent a lifetime perfecting his craft and I could relax in that knowledge. The post consultation follow up with reading materials and access to both Jonathan and his team put me at ease in readiness for my surgery with all the responses to my questions clearly thought through and patiently explained. I could also then clearly plan my work/personal diary around the treatment and recovery plan. This proved to be spot in hindsight! I have to admit that having had general anaesthesia before I was actually more confident in using this protocol for any surgery but when Jonathan explained why his clinic uses twilight anaesthesia for my treatment type (where you are at least aware of your surrounding vs being fully 'knocked out') I was happy to explore further and see if i could get ultimately confident with this approach as it of course feels different. Jonathan and his team encouraged me to read other's reviews and I chatted to a patient for their direct review. I was also reassured by the fact that Jonathan and his anaesthetist have conducted hundreds of operations using twilight and I thought to myself, had there ever been issues with this approach to an elective surgery he would indeed never use it! I am happy to inform that twilight anaesthesia really is as good as general anaesthetic - I think for this type of procedure it is perhaps better. The only notion of pain is the initial pin prick in the hand at 1/10 (which occurs for any type of surgery) and then I found myself in a completely blissed-out state not really conscious of what was going on. In addition, of course there is local nerve block anaesthesia applied all around the treatment areas so there is no sensation whatsoever of pain coupled with my mind being completely 'floating' and relaxed. The true advantage of twilight became even more apparent after the procedure as I came to very quickly, fully lucid and able to eat food within 20 minutes! Unlike general anaesthetic, i had no horrid sore throat and sick/nausea feeling for several hours after. Within an hour or so I was ready to be discharged and my head was clear for the recovery process. It was also explained by Jonathan that using twilight would aid recovery as it is less taxing on the system and allows for more of the body's resources to be channelled to the healing process. I am now four weeks into recovery and can go about my life fully (and have been able to for some days!). It has been reassuring that the team are proactive in setting up periodic consults with Jonathan to review progress at key landmark points and again I had the feeling of being in caring and highly professional hands by someone who wants the best outcomes technically and emotionally for his patients. Of course there is some residual redness and swelling but this again was explained, is expected and I know will fully subside in the coming weeks. I look forward to seeing the final results and have no doubt based on what I can see so far they will be fully natural, enhancing and refreshing me in the most natural way with any evidence of work inconspicuous!

My experience from start to finish was as I had hoped. At the diagnosis I was given a full explanation and options for treatment. Having chose the surgery I felt fully included from the time I arrived at the hospital and the care I received from all included was excellent. The aftercare was equidistant thorough professional quality all the way through to my discharge.

When I visited Mr. Cavale's office for a breast reduction consultation, I immediately felt at ease by his genuine care and attention to detail. Throughout our discussion, he patiently listened to my concerns, provided thorough explanations, and ensured I felt comfortable. Importantly, he also gave me realistic expectations about the potential outcome of the procedure. His expertise was evident, leaving me feeling confident about the process. I look forward to my surgery and highly recommend Mr. Cavale to anyone considering breast reduction surgery.

Mr Scawn explained everything to me and made me feel relaxed and confident.

The best! Would not trust anyone else

Mr Joshi performed upper eyelid surgery for me yesterday, what an amazing gentleman he is! I am so thankful I had my surgery done with him. He made me feel at complete ease from start to finish and I am so happy I had it done at the Harley street hospital with him . Thank you so so much :-) i would highly recommend Mr Joshi for anyone thinking of having this done.

Dr. Din took the time to answer all my questions before my procedure in a clear, detailed and kind way. He was reassuring about my worries but honest about all possible outcomes, leaving me able to make an informed decision as to whether I went ahead. The actual procedure was carried out so smoothly with every step explained. I felt as though I was in very safe hands! The outcome is amazing - more positive than I could ever have imagined. I’m so glad I took the plunge to go ahead with the procedure. The admin team, reception staff and the nurses assisting during and later when the stitches were taken out were also kind and reassuring. I’d like to thank you all for such a positive experience.

Very reassuring, clearly very experienced and made the whole cataract surgery very pleasant.
