Cosmetic surgery is something I scoffed at for sometime. I had a very prominent jaw and chin, when I was younger, no problem; it worked. As an older woman I had a very sharp witchy look about me and I felt I intimidated other women, and it aged me, which affected my relationships with men. I kicked the idea around for about 18 months and would suggest anyone did the same. I called many plastic surgery clinics. Mr Manisali’s name was recommended to me, so when I made my first inquiries, it was him I contacted. He’s really kind, sympathetic, lovely to deal with and ultimately professional. Our first meeting ended in a scan so he could see what was going on as it wasn’t clear at first glance. I walked away unsure if anything could be done, but then he called me. From then on I felt as if he considered me a patient. Not a vain older woman trying to recapture her youth but someone who had been dealt a bit of a curved ball, and that he could help. We had so many meetings, he gave me so much of his time. I was really surprised how generous he was. We went over the whole process many times, my daughter attended the meetings, we had a planning meeting involving a technical report; I now know what my skull looks like in great detail. Importantly, at no point was I pushed or persuaded. I could have walked away at any point and he would have been comfortable with that if it was right for me. I wanted to proceed. In fact I was delighted, I felt I had a problem that had bothered me my whole life and after 48 years the solution was sitting infront of me. The relieve was overwhelming, I didn’t realise how much it bothered me. The operation day came. I was first on his list that day. I was nervous but it all went fine and I went home the next day. There was almost no bruising at all. I was swollen but not too bad. Two weeks later I went back to work but I would say rest is the key!! My teeth felt very sensitive after the operation so watch out for that, but even weeks after the operation my jaw looked better. That was last September, it’s now April and I’m over the moon, delighted, with my new look. My very sceptical family are also delighted. My sister said ‘it does look different but you’re still you’ and my daughter commented on what a good job Mr Manisali did. He understands that you need to be yourself and any adjustment he makes fits with the whole composition of your face. I find now that my interactions with others are improved. I look younger, not really intentionally, and I feel normal, as if I fit in, instead of having a misshapen chin. I feel as if I was dismissed at first glance before. My face is more likeable, warmer. To conclude, I wish I’d done this sooner. It’s a huge decision to change your appearance in this way and you make that decision everyday you go through the process. I’m not sure I would have felt confident enough to proceed with anyone other than Mr Manisali. It’s a risk, and your only opportunity to manage that risk is through your choice of surgeon. For me, he's changed my life and I simply cannot support him enough. Thank you so much Mr Manisali and Melanie and I wish you every success in the future. All the best Clare

I want to say Thank You to Dr Priya Soneji for the wonderful treatment she provided. I had the opportunity to discuss what was on my mind and the results I wanted to achieve. She put me at ease and explained everything in a very easy way. 100% Recommended.

I first met Atheer following a long period of time being very upset about problems with a couple of back teeth. Two long experienced Orthodontists had given a depressing prognosis. I was then introduced to Atheer at the Abbey Dental Practice. He disagreed with the diagnosis and talked about the opportunities for fixing the problem - rather than the issues! I felt like I was walking on air when I left the room. I had the teeth replaced with 2 implants. I am a very nervous patient but the whole experience was great, and the results are perfect. Atheer is a very kind, clever and skilful surgeon. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Clear and precise explanations. I was made to feel comfortable and my issues were taken seriously. Highly recommend.
