The entire experience from first consultation to post op review was all painless and calm - couldn’t have been in safer hands.

As a GP I was very anxious about my decision to proceed with face lift surgery even given Dr De Silva's excellent credentials and charming manners.
I needn't have worried.
My whole experience was of the highest order.
The staff were all delightful and extremely helpful throughout.
The procedure was carried out under sedation and I recall very little of it.
The effects were exactly as I had asked and hoped for - I have had years taken off my appearance without it appearing obvious that I have has 'work' done.
I could not recommend Dr De Silva more highly.

It’s been just over ten months since I got a rhinoplasty/ septoplasty with Dr De Silva. It’s improved my life so much and I'm so very grateful.
My confidence has improved so much! I was always so conscious of my side profile and really dreaded when people would sit either side of me. That’s ancient history now, and I’m overjoyed with how my nose looks.
Dr De Silva did such an amazing job and it’s in perfect proportion to my face. I was happy as soon as the cast came off, but now with all these months of healing, it’s really settled into a beautiful shape. My breathing is also better, so that helps my overall feeling of wellbeing immensely.
From the beginning, I had a wonderful feeling about having this procedure done by Dr De Silva and I’m so glad I followed that instinct. The whole experience was so calm and relaxed. Dr De Silva and all the staff were so reassuring and I genuinely felt at ease. Coupled with that, his incredible skill and precision are evident every time I look in the mirror.
Dr De Silva's work has changed my life for the better and I’m so grateful to him and the whole team. I would 100% recommend him and would go back in a heartbeat!

I am male, mid-50s, and I underwent combined upper and lower eyelid surgery in August. Prior to this I had done a lot of research to find Dr De Silva, discovering that he was something of a facial cosmetic surgery "go to" expert for the media, alongside an impeccable medical and academic background - he is clearly a thought leader in his field.
My experience mirrored many others here. The whole team are ultra-professional but also very personable with it, which made for a relaxed process from my original enquiry through to the post-procedure support I received. I never had any doubt that I was being carefully (but not intrusively) monitored throughout the period.
The pleasant environment of the surgery itself in Harley Street and the state-of-the-art equipment suggest that no expense is spared in providing the very best experience and outcome, but it is the attitude of the team themselves that particularly stands out - Dr De Silva himself, and his anaesthetist and nurses were so genuinely kind and helpful.
Ultimately, of course, the surgical result is the most important thing, and Dr De Silva delivered exactly what we had discussed - the optimum result and exceeding my expectations. I am delighted!
Beyond the medical safety factors, Dr De Silva has a unique artistry and precision in his work which, I assume, are the differentiating factors that identify him as one of the very best surgeons in the world. Dr De Silva is exceptional and a wise choice.

The care of Dr De Silva and his staff was second to none. The sedation as opposed to general anaesthetic was highly preferable- I woke up feeling so much better than when I’ve had anaesthetic and so after effects. I was totally asleep throughout. His results are restrained and natural. I was very impressed with the aftercare service as well. I wouldn’t use anyone else for a procedure!

I became increasingly dissatisfied with the appearance of my neck and lower jawline since the end of the second lockdown. I always had a wrinkled neck however overnight it appeared to have developed into a real turkey neck and jowls had emerged. I was always considered to lol younger than my age and now felt like I had gained a decade in just 6 months. I had also put on some weight during the second lockdown which I knew I could lose. I thoroughly researched cosmetic surgeons on the wed and decided to consult with Dr De Silva due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews and the fact that he specialised in facial surgery which would have increased his expertise.
I am so happy that I made this decision as my experience was so positive from start to finish. I will begin by commenting on the result of my surgery as I know that this, for me, was the most important aspect. I am delighted! At this stage I still have some residual swell which I was advised would be present. However following neck and lower facial surgery I am overjoyed with the result. I can now wear necklaces without feeling self conscious and my self confidence has returned. I no longer hide my neck with scarves and can wear any neckline I choose too. Having the surgery performed my Dr De Silva was the best decision I made.
In the weeks prior to my surgery appointment I had made the extra effort and lost the weight I had gained during lockdown. This was most beneficial as when people commented on how well I looked following surgery I attributed it to my weight loss. (Apologies Dr De Silva!)
Now I will start at the beginning. I called the centre and was spoken to by Sarah who made me feel at ease and arranged an appointment to suit my needs. When I met with her in person she was most helpful, encouraging and I felt valued as a patient. Dr De Silva immediately made me feel at ease. His quiet demeanour and non pressuring manner made me feel confident that he would have my best interests at heart. He explained everything to me including the surgery that was needed to achieve I desired. The before and after photos of patients along side my profile photos helped me to make my decision.
Following the consultation where I was not expected to make a decision about having surgery Dr De Silva sent me a copy of the book he has written about facial surgery and his techniques which helped me make my decision to go ahead with surgery by him.
I had my surgery in mid July and the experience from start to finish was smooth and I did not feel scared at any time. I was made to feel at easy by the nurses Ellie and Racquelle and by the anaesthetist. I was not put to sleep as in regular anaesthesia but more like a deep sleep. I did not feel any pain and woke up not feeling sick or groggy. I had the expected swelling etc but apart from that and slight discomfort I was fine. Following an overnight stay I left in the morning after ultra violet light treatment and oxygen therapy.
My after care experience was exemplary and I will now see Dr De Silva in December.
If you are certain that you want facial surgery then do not hesitate to choose Dr De Silva and his team.
A very happy patient! WC

I had disliked my neck since my twenties & always said I was going to have surgery on it. Over the years it got worse, & I became more conscious of it so began to investigate my options. I visited a number of surgeons but always felt disheartened as they either didn’t have a solution or I didn’t get the right feeling from them. And then I met Dr Julian De Silva. Immediately I knew that when I did go ahead it would be with him. From the start I felt confident in his ability. He was genuinely interested in why I wanted it done, was realistic with what he could achieve and always made sure he explained every step, never tired of answering any questions & concerns that I had, & I had a few!! I’d never had an operation before & was worried about recovering from a general anaesthetic. Dr De Silva explained he performed his operations under sedation as the recovery was so much quicker, of course I was worried about that as I certainly didn’t want to be aware of the surgery. He assured me I wouldn’t. I was worried about the drains, he showed me a drain in advance & explained why he used them, & that made me feel better. It was 4 years from when I first met Dr De Silva & my operation as, although I really wanted it done, I was worried about actually going through with it. Over that time, I asked many questions & he always seemed genuinely pleased to see me, I never felt a bother.
Early morning 26th July I arrived at Harley Street for my procedure, excited but also nervous. Raquel met me & showed me to my room. Dr Andre, the anaesthetist, came & spoke to me & assured me I wouldn’t feel a thing, then Dr De Silva came to answer any final questions & make sure I was ok. I was having a few things done, I had a Face & Neck Lift, Fat Transfer & Chin Implant, Upper Blepharoplasty & a Brow Lift. My last words to Dr De Silva were, please give me a nice neck, everything else is a bonus!
The last thing I remember is Dr Andre saying, you’ll begin to feel a little woozy, like you’ve had a gin, the next thing I knew I was waking up after having a lovely sleep & the procedure was complete.
I was able to walk back to my room & felt absolutely fine. My head was bandaged so I couldn’t see the results but I didn’t feel any pain. Dr De Silva came to see me to check I was ok. Raquel kept checking on me throughout the afternoon & then Hannah arrived who stayed with me throughout the night, constantly checking on me.
Early the next morning Dr De Silva arrived, does he ever go home, & removed my bandages. I felt like crying, already I could see a massive improvement & yes, I had a neck!!! After making sure I was ok, & a stint in the oxygen tank, which is so relaxing, my daughter arrived to escort me home. The surgery stayed in contact with me throughout the next week until my follow up appointment a week later. At this appointment my drains & the stitches that weren’t dissolvable were removed.
It is now 9 weeks since I had the procedure and I feel, & look amazing!! I have a neck & my Upper Blepharoplasty, that I call my bonus, is fantastic. My eyes are wide again & my eye make up stays on all day instead of being smeared above my eyelid within 5 minutes!
People tell me how brave I was to have it done but I don’t feel brave. The truth is I felt no pain at any point, a little uncomfortable at times, but never any pain. I never worried about the actual procedure, I had total confidence in Dr De Silva’s ability, I was only worried about the sedation & the recovery, but I needn’t have. Sedation was amazing, the best sleep I’ve had in years, & the recovery was a lot better than I could have imagined.
I’ve just now had my final appointment & I felt quite sad that I won’t be going down again as everyone was always so kind, although Dr De Silva said he will always see me, he may regret that!
Thank you Dr De Silva for being the most amazing surgeon, & Raquel, Ellie & Hannah for looking after me.
If you’re considering going ahead you can’t do better than Dr De Silva, this is your face, you want the best, and Dr De Silva is definitely the best.

I recently had lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer and lateral brow lift. Dr De Silva and his team were excellent. I had a full discussion about what could be achieved and potential complications. The sedation anaesthesia was like having a nap. There was only some swelling and a small amount of bruising post-operatively. I am very pleased with the results - I now look less tired and probably a few years younger. I would recommend Dr De Silva.
