I met Mr Eccles 6 months ago to discuss lower face and neck lift surgery. Prior to this meeting I was nervous and concerned; ‘Was I making the right decision to alter my appearance at all?’ I need not to have worried in the slightest. From the first meeting I found Mr Eccles to be a consummate professional with a reassuringly gentle manner. Mr Eccles listened carefully and explained what results I could expect post surgery. Prior to this meeting I had read Mr Eccles’ biog and discovered his world class status as a renowned plastic surgeon so felt I would be in extremely safe hands. This coupled with his caring, confident and kind manner allowed me to make an informed, and in the end, easy decision to go ahead with surgery. Now post surgery I would like to ‘More than Highly Recommend’ Mr Simon Eccles as a plastic surgeon; for his incredible skill, care and professional support team he has chosen to work with. All made my experience easy and anxiety free. To say ‘I am delighted with the results of his surgery’ is nothing more than an understatement. I have quite honestly been ‘over the moon’ with my lower face and neck lift surgery and if you, like me are anxious about going ahead with a similar operation, I hope this review will reassure you that choosing Mr Eccles as your surgeon would be an easy choice to make.
Mr Eccles was outstanding. He is also delightful, which helps a nervous patient so much. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Very good always
I felt reassured and safe from our first meeting. A wonderful professional and warm human being.
Simon is world class and should be everyone’s first choice for an opinion when complexity needs addressing .
