Mr Ion is an exceptional surgeon and communicator. He manages to convey the information in an understandable and open manner. Obviously he has done this many times, and is able to both put his patients at ease as well as answer any questions. I am thoroughly impressed with his manner and overjoyed by the outcome of the surgery. Would recommend 10/10.

I recently underwent an endoscopic forehead lift, lower blepharoplasty and deep plane face and neck lift with Mr Ion. As a plastic surgeon myself, I chose very carefully who I would let operate on my face and I cannot recommend Lucian Ion highly enough. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I always felt taken 100% care of. He combines exceptional surgical expertise with genuine professionalism, and thinks about what is the right thing for you. He uses very effective novel techniques, which results in less swelling and bruising as well. My recovery has been smooth and quick. The consultation was thorough, unhurried, and very informative. Every aspect of the procedure was explained clearly — including options, expected outcomes, risks, and recovery — in a way that was both honest and professional. The surgical result itself is outstanding. The outcome is beautifully natural — refreshed and harmonious rather than “operated.” His attention to detail and aesthetic judgement are truly remarkable. This is exactly what I wanted and he delivered 100%. Follow-up appointments were on time, attentive and professional, and I always felt that I could reach out with any concerns. Instructions were clear: The whole experience, from consultation through recovery, was seamless and highly professional. If you are considering any kind of facial rejuvenation surgery, you are in exceptionally safe and skilled hands with Mr Ion.

I had experienced a botched rhinoplasty back in Dubai and no surgeon in the U.K. was willing to perform a revision rhinoplasty on myself. Dr Ion is the only surgeon who not only agreed to it but also performed an excellent revision rhinoplasty.His revision rhinoplasty was so good that no one can tell if I ever had a rhinoplasty. I am really really happy with my results.

I am so grateful to Mr Ion for performing a very successful secondary procedure following a terrible experience with another surgeon. He is clearly an expert and has a wonderfully reassuring manner. My experiences with the preliminary consultations, actual operation, post-operative aftercare, and subsequent follow-up appointments were truly a gold standard in patient care. Thank you so much to you and your team.

Mr Lucian Ion is a truly skilled and exceptional surgeon who I would recommend in an instant to anyone considering a procedure. His skill set, attention to detail and manner is second to none along with his post-operative care and that of his team. I could not be happier with the results!

Best decision I have ever made :) I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Ion about 2 years ago. I was looking for a surgeon who could do ethic noses, from my understanding, we heal differently as our skin is thicker, so I wanted to make sure I go to someone with experience in this area. From the moment I met him for my consultation, I knew I found the right person (I had done quite a lot of research prior). I believe a great surgeon should be like an artist and sculptor, and I found that in Dr Ion. It was a seamless process from start to finish, my results are better than the rendering that Dr Ion had shown me. In every meeting, Dr Ion was a complete gentleman, who always offered to take my coat. The meetings were concise and to the point. I always felt very assured about the entire process and this is coming from someone who is an overthinker and has anxiety. My surgery was done in 2hours. I had zero pain and no bruising. I went home 30mins after the surgery and felt great. Didnt need any painkillers for the days that followed. I am really happy with my results and so grateful to Dr Ion and his team. I get so many compliments on my nose and the general look of my face is more optimistic and happier. Thank you Dr Ion!

Dr Ion is kind, professional and honest. I overall had an amazing experience with my rhinoplasty, he listened carefully about what I wanted to change about my appearance and the outcome has changed my life, I feel so much happier within myself and am very grateful I chose to trust him for my surgery.

Mr. Ion is an excellent surgeon and I couldn't be happier with him. Unfortunately his professionalism is not reflected in the service at Weymouth Hospital.

As soon as I met Dr Ion I knew I wanted him to do my surgery. He had impeccable bedside manner and I trusted him personally. My surgery went well and couldn’t be happier with my results. He has always dealt with any queries personally and thoroughly and also helped amazingly with a likely unrelated to surgery infection which occurred nearly 2 years after surgery, when he could have reasonably told me to seek help elsewhere. My results look 90 percent identical to my morph, perhaps better and he was patient and reassuring the whole way through my recovery! Thankyou Dr Ion always, 2 years on I feel this surgery one of the best decisions I ever made!
