Really happy with my upper Bleph eye surgery procedure with Austin McCormick. He explained everything at the initial consultation. On the actual day of the procedure Austin & his team made the whole process seamless and so comfortable for me. I would highly recommend him if you’re thinking of getting this done.

I had upper eye blepharoplasty. The procedure was done under sedation and I felt relaxed and at ease at all times, there was no pain at all and I am very happy with the results - I wish I'd done it years ago. My eyes recovered relatively quickly, had it done on a Saturday morning and went back to work in an office on Monday - eyes were a bit bruised & swollen for the first week but not too bad at all. Would definitely recommend Mr McCormick.

This was my second surgery I have had done with Mr Austin Mccormick and both have ended with amazing results, I would not trust anyone else near my eyes, he is a specialist in his field and it shows in his work. Thank you again Austin, I am delighted with my outcome, it's taken years off me and I feel fabulous again wearing makeup.

Excellent service from the moment I met Mr McCormick I had every confidence that the procedure I required would be carried out with utmost care and professionalism I was a little anxious and he put me at ease with a clear explanation of what to expect from the procedure the role of the anaesthetist nursing team and recovery time I have for many years considered a blepharoplasty and couldn’t be more delighted with the results I would have no hesitation recommending Mr McCormick to my friends and family if they required any similar treatments

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my blepharoplasty. I was extremely nervous about the process and was so scared it would change the way I looked, however I really shouldn’t have been. The care I received was second to none and my results have more than surpassed my expectations. I still look like me but the clock has been turned back a number of years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr McCormick. Thank you for giving me my confidence back.

The whole procedure was such a positive experience. I had my upper and lower lids treated. Austin made me feel at ease.. It was not painful at all and the results were amazing. Although after the surgery I looked bruised it all healed so quickly and you could see the improvements daily. I would highly recommend Austin.

I work alongside Austin McCormick in a once-weekly joint orbital clinic. I already knew that he is a nationally renowned surgeon, but since starting our joint service I have appreciated how humble and down-to-earth he is, how much he cares for the patients and how he supports development of the next generation of specialists. Highly recommended
