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.

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
