Mr Caesar performed my upper bleph surgery and I am delighted with the results. The pre consultation was informative and all queries/ concerns were addressed. The surgery and expected results were explained thoroughly. The surgery was perfect; Mr Caesar takes his time to mark the area for optimal results and put me at ease throughout the operation. He contacted me for a morale boost a few days afterwards to check how the recovery was progressing. I saw Mr Caesar for a follow up appointment and he provided helpful advice to aid the scar tissue recovery time. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Caesar for anyone considering this surgery.

This was a procedure I have been wanting for 11 years, however, I was still a little tentative. Richard was friendly, reassuring and professional in his expertise and manner. I could not have been treated better through the whole experience form the initial consultation, the actual procedure and the after care. A phone call, two days after the operation (on a Saturday!) to check on me was so kind and unexpected. I am so pleased with the results and would recommend Ric to anyone wanting this done.

Mr ceaser made me feel at ease from the moment i met him for my consultation to all the after care, with calls on day 4 to check in & taking the stitches out. He has a kind nature & is very knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting eye blepharoplasty Very happy with my results already & not even 2 weeks post op.

The whole experience from the initial consultation to recovering from my upper blepharoplasty couldn't have been better. All the staff involved involved in my care were professional and very reassuring; I was very anxious on the day but continually was made to feel more relaxed and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Ric and his team to anyone considering having this surgery. I couldn't be more pleased with the result and love my renewed eyelids.

I had 100% confidence in Ric Caesar from my first consultation. He took time to explain the procedure in full detail, contacted me after 3 days to check how I was and if I had any problems, and after my sutures were removed assured me that I could contact him any time and requested an update after 6 weeks, which I found reassuring. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome so far and would recommend to anyone who needs this surgery.

From my initial assessment Mr Caesar put me at ease. The consultation was informative, giving realistic and step by step expectations. Personally I chose to watch his training videos on YouTube as I wanted to know exactly what was going to happen. I went into surgery with no nerves as I had every confidence in Ric and his team. I am writing this one week post op and after following the thorough recuperation guidance, results are amazing! I also had the reassurance I could contact Ric at any time with any concerns. Thankyou to all concerned. Highly recommended.

My experience was as problem-free as I had been led to expect by the excellent pre-operative procedures and discussions. Mr Caesar performed the operation calmly and professionally and the experience was over before I had time to think about it.

Ric is a great surgeon and lovely guy. Very straightforward and will always give you an honest common-sense opinion. I am an eye surgeon myself and happily chose Ric to do my step-father's cataracts, a ringing endorsement if ever there was one. Also one on the best for eyelids and blepharoplasty!
