The results have given me pure joy

Sat 15 November 2025

From the very first meeting with Mr Gateley, I felt I was in safe hands. He made me think about the surgery I had asked for and NEVER tried to up- sell me in fact it was the opposite, he wanted me to look as natural as possible. The surgery experience couldn’t have been easier, I felt safe and confident. The results have given me pure joy and the very best thing is I still look like me - about 10 years ago! If I need anything done again I would not dream of going anywhere else.

Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail are outstanding.

Sat 15 November 2025

From my initial consultation through to the surgery and aftercare, my experience at the clinic has been exceptional. The clinic itself is very modern, with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Every member of staff I met was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr David Gateley was incredibly reassuring from the very beginning. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure clearly and thoroughly, ensuring I had no unanswered questions. His calm, confident manner immediately put me at ease, and I felt I was in the very best hands. In the lead-up to my surgery, Dr Gateley was always available if I had any concerns or queries, and that continued after the procedure as well. Knowing he was only a phone call away gave me great peace of mind throughout the entire process. The aftercare has been second to none. I felt fully supported at every stage of my recovery, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Gateley and his fantastic team to anyone considering an upper eyelid blepharoplasty—or any cosmetic procedure. Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail are outstanding.

The results are beyond what I could have hoped for

Thu 4 September 2025

I came to see Mr David Gateley with the intention of having a neck lift. I had seen three other consultants who had tried to persuade me to have a deep plane face lift which was way out of my budget. When I met Mr Gateley I was instantly reassured. He explained all the options - many non-surgical - and suggested that the best thing for me would be a SMAS face lift. He was honest about how a neck lift would not create the desired results. At no point did I feel hurried or pressured and after having another consultation and asking a lot of questions I decided to go with a SMAS and an upper blepheroplasty. The lead up to the operation included a full check up at the New Victoria and a long conversation with the anaesthetist as I was taking Mounjaro and this could cause complications. The day of the operation David came to see me and was very reassuring. The operation went well and when I woke up David was there to check that I was ok. The whole experience was smooth and not at all stressful. I can honestly say a night in the New Victoria was a very pleasant experience. My recovery was fast. David checked up on me regularly by phone or text and I had follow up appointments with the nurse and David for the next 2 months. He also recommended endermologie which really helped with the swelling. After 10 days I went back to work. My eyes healed very quickly and although there was the initial shock of having no double chin and a jaw line (David also performed liposuction on my neck and jowls), I was confident once the swelling had gone down it would look good. There was a little residue far under my right jawline which David fixed at no extra cost after all the swelling had gone and my face had settled. I am thrilled with the results. I am told by everyone how amazing I look. But what is wonderful is that I look so natural. The jowls and the double chin are gone, my eyes look bright and open and my neck is significantly improved. The results are beyond what I could have hoped for. I have been treated like a VIP from day one and feel so lucky to have found someone who takes pride in their work and takes the time to develop a doctor/patient relationship.
