Reviews
Russell instilled confidence from the start in terms of providing all information in terms of risks and alternative options for my heavy eyelids. He examined my eyes, provided me with information from which I could make an informed decision. The procedure itself was quick. Russell and the team made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout and kept me informed of what he was doing throughout the procedure. I am extremely happy with the results and would recommend Russell and this treatment to friends and family.
I’ve had the most wonderful experience with Mr Russell Bramhall. From the initial consultation to the actual procedure and now to the follow up post op the whole process has been incredible. Mr Bramhall spent time with me to go through the details around the procedure and was thorough and so caring and supportive. The procedure itself was a breeze, and now I have results which are way beyond my expectations. I had an upper blepharoplasty which has rejuvenated my face completely whilst still retaining my natural features. It has been pretty life changing for me, and has affected my confidence in such a positive way. Thank you so much for your thoroughness, care and kindness Mr Bramhall. You are not only talented and so detail orientated, but your thoughtfulness and support for the individuals in your care is amazing. 🙂
I am 2 months post op & I was given advice on how to look after my scar tissue. Dr Russell always welcomes any questions & has an open door policy for any issues in future.
I cannot recommend Mr. Bramhall highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my most recent review appointment, the care, professionalism and attention I have received have been exceptional. Deciding to have upper blepharoplasty was a big step for me, but Mr. Bramhall made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident and reassured throughout the entire process. The results have honestly exceeded all of my expectations, and I am absolutely over the moon with them. Not only do I feel more confident, but the difference it has made to something as simple as applying my eye makeup has been incredible. I wear makeup every day and, over time, I had started to lose the definition around my eyes as my eyelids had become hidden beneath loose skin. Since having the surgery and fully healing, I can actually see my eyelids again! The first few times I applied my makeup afterwards, I couldn't stop smiling!!! My eyes look brighter, more defined and more like the version of myself I remembered. As the healing continues, they will look even better and I am blown away by the results so far. What has impressed me just as much as the surgical outcome is the level of care and dedication Mr. Bramhall has shown me. Every appointment has been thorough and reassuring, and I still have a follow-up appointment scheduled in six months' time. To me, that demonstrates his commitment to achieving the very best results and ensuring his patients continue to feel supported long after the...
Read moreI was advised the best treatment from dr Russell , A Brow Lift and Blepharoplasty and I’m very happy with the end results that look totally natural , less tired looking, more fresh and not as if I’ve had surgery.
I had a review of my blepharoplasty procedure.. I am very pleased with my outcome. Dr Russell has explained everything at every appointment & I am reassured that I can contact the clinic should any issues arise in future
I had breast reduction surgery with Russell in April. He was fantastic from my first consultation with him explained everything and how they would look. Can honestly say I am over the moon with the results. I am currently 10 weeks post op, everything is settling great and I had no post op complications. I was taped up within an inch of my life afterwards and felt so secure and safe in my dressings, and I was able to shower and dry off naturally or with the hairdryer from day 1 which was great, as some surgeons you can't shower for 2 weeks. I would totally recommend Russell if you are thinking about breast surgery, he is very passionate about his job, and it shows in his work.
Had an Upper blepharoplasty procedure carried out recently and I am very happy with the final result. The whole process was very professionally handled by all the clinic staff.
Absolutely delighted with the whole process from consultation through to my final review. I have been considering this surgery for a while, so glad I went through with it. Dr Russell was so knowledgeable and professional. The nurses were so lovely too.
1st class experience from initial consultation, procedure was completely pain free during and after, I was totally surprised that I had no pain or discomfort after and during the healing process, I would highly recommend Dr Russell he put me at ease with his easy and approachable manner I had ever confidence in him and the whole team at McKeown Medical.
