I recently had an upper eyelid blepharoplasty with Mr Vikesh Patel and I am very happy with the results, even just one week after surgery. Mr Patel was professional, reassuring, and clear throughout, with a very pleasant bedside manner that put me at ease. He was also very honest and realistic about expected outcomes, which I really appreciated. His communication and skill were excellent, and I would highly recommend him.

My experience I would rate as excellent overall, from the initial consultation thru the post surgery review I had yesterday. Mr Patel was great in explaining all aspects of the procedure and making me feel at ease. I am very happy with the result particularly from the improvement in eye comfort post surgery, my eyes immediately felt much lighter and less gritty and uncomfortable. From a cosmetic point of view my eyes already look much improved and I have the crease back in my eyelids. Looking forward to even more improvement once the residual swelling goes down.

Mr. Patel carried out my upper Blepharoplasty. I couldn’t happier with both the experience and results. From the very first consultation he was completely honest, professional and incredibly calming, which put me at ease. He took time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions and made sure I felt fully informed and confident at every stage. His manner is kind and reassuring and his skill and attention to detail are evident in the outcome. I am very grateful for his care and expertise and would recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

Mr Patel was very professional, knowledgeable, caring and understanding. I was very nervous about the procedure but he took time to explain everything and made me feel reassured and at ease. I was made to feel comfortable and informed throughout the surgery and had very little discomfort post op. Would highly recommend, thank you Mr Patel.

I visited Vikesh Patel one week ago to have an upper eye Blepharoplasty procedure following on from an initial consultation. Today I had another appointment to have my stitches removed. What can I say from the initial meeting, the surgery and aftercare advice and support has been excellent. I’m really happy with the results. Vikesh makes you feel at ease, he’s a professional with unlimited knowledge of the procedure and explained everything in detail. I would definitely recommend him to my friends, associates and colleagues.
