Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to share my experience of my face and neck lift with Dr De Silva. First and foremost I will tell you truthfully, that with all I now know for my experience, I would go through it all again tomorrow if I had too. It was so different from what you hear, and all the botched jobs you see. I picked Dr De Silva after much research, and the fact that he only specialises on the face, I made my appointment. From my first consultation till my 1yr check up, I can only but give him and his team 100% Dr De Silva has an extremely calming way with him. He puts you at your ease and explains EVERYTHING in minuet detail. He leaves nothing out, everything he said happened in that way. From having pre op’s till the day of surgery nurses Ellie and Josie were fantastic, so helpful and friendly. I was told by Dr De Silva that It would not be painful, just a bit uncomfortable, that was true. I had no pain at all at anytime from start till now, Swollen and bruised yes, the bruising had all gone in 2 weeks. Swelling took a little longer. I was also told it would be quite numb for some time. It was, but it didn’t bother me, and now I have very little numbness left. It can take up to 9 months I think.
I didn’t want to look different, I didn’t want to change anything, all I wanted was to look rested and fresher, a better version of myself. I am soooo happy with my lovely tight neck and no more loose skin and hanging jowls. It has made the biggest difference to my confidence. No one has asked have I had work done, they just say “ you are looking great”.
If you are thinking of a face lift or any facial work done, I can 100% guarantee you will not find a better surgeon… anywhere.
My extreme gratitude to Dr De Silva, Dr Andre (anaesthetist). Nurse’s Ellie & Josie and to Sarah who sorted all the paperwork etc.

Incredible experience all round and natural looking results.
I had originally seen Dr Julian De Silva for a consultation back in 2017 and had followed his work for years, so I was familiar with his style of surgery and artistry. I had studied his work of the ‘Golden Ratio’ and even bought his book years ago.
At my first consultation, Dr Julian and his team immediately made me feel at ease. His wonderful team - Sarah, Mags, Mackez, Adam and the lovely nurses Alice, Josie and Kelly were all very kind and welcoming. I instantly felt at home.
It’s a lovely energy when you go into 23 Harley Street and everything, including the operating theatre is there.
Dr Julian De Silva’s kind and calm nature made him stand out from the rest of top surgeons that I had seen over the years. I didn't feel rushed, and he listened and understood my concerns.
He explained to me about hyper mobility, where the skin can stretch at a younger age and this made sense why I was seeing premature signs of ageing such as ptosis and jowls forming.
I felt relieved that finally a surgeon understood how I was feeling and didn't immediately turn me away dismissing me because of my age, saying I was too young etc.
I knew he was the surgeon for me.
A strong gut feeling and I trusted him 100%.
I knew of his natural looking results from his previous work with other patients.
He is truly an artist and has very fine attention to detail in his work. - Just look at his analysis of Renee Zellweger video on YouTube and you’ll understand what I mean.
It is just over 3 months now since I had the operation and I am delighted with the results!
My jowls have completely gone and I have my v shape jawline back. Dr Julian told me that the skin had dropped 2.5 centimeters and that is how much he had to lift it up again, which is a lot for someone my age and testament to the hypermobility.
I can now wear eyeshadow without it creasing and my eyebrows are back to where they were pre ptosis!
My confidence has come back and I am feeling so much more positive about how I look.
My experience with Dr Julian De Silva and his team was second to none - No other surgeon could have done a better job.
What I like about Dr Julian De Silva is his humbleness and integrity. He is not only a surgeon but an artist - He will look at the symmetry of your face and treat it like a work of art ; this goes beyond just surgery, this is artistry. From my results, especially around my eyes I can see how intricate and finely done with attention to detail he has perfected everything which makes for such natural results.
The whole experience from the first consultation right through to the 3 month mark with several visits in between has been so enjoyable for me.
I loved the whole experience of my trips up to 23 Harley Street. He has a great team who make you feel at home and comfortable straight away, they are very accommodating and always on hand with any questions or concerns you may have. It’s a lovely energy there.
I have had consultations with other top surgeons in London and met their teams over the years but none have been on this level. Julian and his team are a rare find.
I’m so pleased and grateful I picked Dr Julian De Silva and his team - I want to go back and get more things done for the joy of the whole experience, which says a lot!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a chin implant by Julian.
It’s something I had considered for years but had felt apprehensive about, not knowing where to go and whom to trust. It’s a serious surgery and it was a bit stressful at the start, knowing where to look to find someone I could trust. I started by googling about chin implants and came across a few people in London who do them. I did as much research as possible by looking at before and afters, reading Google reviews, reviews on other sites like Realself, and looking into doctors abroad, etc…
The great thing about Julian is that he has a lot of YouTube videos and content on Instagram that show him and his personality, along with people's experiences. Specifically, there are a few video diaries on his YouTube channel of people who have had this surgery, with a day-by-day step of their recovery. This really helped me and gave me peace of mind.
I decided to have a consultation with Julian. The consultation wasn’t free but was definitely worth it. I felt listened to and didn’t feel rushed. I had an hour-long chat where I basically asked him to tell me which elements of my face could be treated to improve my appearance. Julian gave me concise information and it made complete sense. I was quoted for a couple of surgeries that I could have which would make a bit of difference to help balance things but from our discussion it was obvious that the chin implant would make the most difference.
I took a few months to think about it but I decided to go for the chin implant.
The operation was performed under twilight anesthesia. I hadn’t had this before and was a bit apprehensive but honestly it was absolutely fine and actually quite relaxing. All I remember is going into the theater, surrounded by lovely friendly nurses, feeling a bit sleepy, and next thing I know I’ve woken up in the theater. It felt like time had passed, I wasn’t groggy and within 30 minutes I was on my feet and could leave.
For the next week after the surgery I was on quite a few different pills and I did feel quite out of it. Definitely do not have anything planned for the week following surgery, you will want to be at home with a few Netflix series ready to watch as you will need to rest up and let your body heal. It was a bit strange to smile for a few weeks after the surgery and my chin area felt a bit tight at first but you start to forget it’s there after a while.
The result is very natural and I feel that I look a lot better, nobody has asked me if I have had something done but people have mentioned that I’m looking good but they aren't quite sure why haha. This is exactly the result I was looking for.
The surgery isn’t cheap, it was upwards of £10,000 but was it worth it? For me, 100% yes. I just wish I had got it sooner tbh. There are other surgeons who are cheaper, you could go abroad to Turkey to get surgery or find someone based outside of London but in my opinion if you want this kind of surgery there is no point in trying to find a cheap option with a risk that it’s not going to be exactly how you want it. With Julian you have peace of mind that you’re with one of the leading plastic surgeons in the country, he also uses a technique that uses two titanium screws which attach the implant to the skull so that it doesn’t move. A lot of other surgeons do not use this technique and from reading reviews a lot of these people have had to get revision surgery to get an implant as it has moved over time because it wasn’t attached like the way Julian does them.
Honestly, If you want a chin implant and want the best in the business, this is the doctor you want.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a timid young man plagued by hereditary eye bags. Used all my options from the latest creams advertised to the newest hacks trending to no avail. I concluded that facial surgery is my only way forward as it was starting to affect my mental health.
Discovering his accessible YouTube channel was invaluable to my research. Alongside his detailed website, this gave me the confidence to reach out to the clinic.
I met Julian and his team back in February for my consultation and proceeded with my surgery in March. (2024)
From the consultation with Julian I was immediately relieved from all my questions and worries about the procedure I was enquiring (lower blepharoplasty).
Informed by his wealthy knowledge and articulate descriptions. His respectful manner helped alleviate any stress induced from my own research.
I had my complete trust in him and he proved it to me with his vast portfolio of successful clients who've had the same procedure. In that instance I knew I had come to the right place and could set my mind at ease.
The team are supportive with great communication. Professional and friendly. Nothing but respect and gratitude for them all.
From my experience with Julian's practice I felt welcome, positive and hopeful. Also the twilight sedation that he recommends is excellent! You go into surgery and it’s like falling asleep, and once it’s over the nurse wakes you up and you’re alert and aware.
Thank you so much! I can finally smile with my eyes again. Highly recommend Julian to anyone that is considering facial surgery.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Almost one year in ... I am still delighted. Surgery is not for the faint hearted. You need to be brave, and prepared for some bumpy times in recovery. But it's worth it. Julian de Silva is on another plane. Not only an exceptional (world class) technician, he is also an artist who doesn't paint by numbers. So easy for me to recommend ...

What is a Facelift?
A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that enhances the cosmetic appearance of the face. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, it can completely revitalise your appearance and provide results that last for years.
Specifically, our Signature Facelift & Neck lift (Vertical Deep Plane Facelift) can help with these common changes:
- Natural Fresher appearance with a more youthful jawline and neck
- Lift sagging skin: More V-shaped youthful jaw line
- Improve neck definition, No more turkey neck
- Remove loose skin
- Decrease wrinkles and lines
- Mini Facelift may be adequate for some patients, depending on changes in neck area.
- Some patients feel looking in the mirror they are starting to look like their parents
- Younger patients often have hyper mobility (Dr De Silva will show you what this means and how it can be addressed)
- Over 20% of Dr De Silva’s patients are Revision Facelift & Neck lifts, had procedures elsewhere that need modification.
- Hidden scars. Most people will not be able to tell you have had a procedure by hiding scars in natural skin lines and using meticulous technique
- Recovery Time: 2-3weeks, can be enhanced with Dr De Silva’s techniques including regenerative medicine, oxygen therapy & sedation anaesthesia
- Often patients benefit from additional procedures to get the very best results e.g. Fat transfer, Skin resurfacing, Buccal fat reshaping, Regenerative Medicine…
While facelifts were first performed over 100 years ago, the techniques, technology, safety and overall outcomes have improved exponentially – it’s no wonder this is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in London and the UK.

Facelift Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a facelift take?
Depending on the facelift type and if any other treatments are being undertaken, surgery can take anywhere from two to four hours or more.
What type of facelift is best for me?
Using his experience as a facial plastic surgeon, the current state of your face and skin, and information gained from discussion during your consultation, Dr De Silva will recommend the optimal surgery to undergo in order to achieve your desired outcome.
How do I choose a facelift surgeon in London?
One of the most important parts of surgery is choosing your surgeon, especially for surgery on the delicate and complex face. There are a few things to ensure when it comes to making your choice:
- That they are a specialist facial plastic surgeon
- That they are detail-oriented and meticulous
- That they understand facelifts require not just medical technique but an artists’ touch
- That you have a good rapport and feel comfortable with them
Patients come from all over London, the UK, and the world to be treated by Dr De Silva and his team, who treat each patient like family.
Can I combine a rhytidectomy with other procedures?
As part of your procedure, we may recommend other treatments, such as a neck lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or fat transfer to supplement and enhance the end result.
These will be conducted during your surgery to combine recovery time.
Will I have visible scars?
Where possible, Dr De Silva hides incisions within the natural creases in the face. 99% of scars are virtually invisible, achieved by using meticulous technique and 3 levels of stitches.
Is surgery painful?
Before surgery is commenced, you are put to sleep, before having a local anaesthetic applied.
Aside from mild discomfort, many patients report having very little pain after surgery, and often only require basic pain relief, if any.
Am I a good candidate?
A good candidate for a facelift has facial ageing with symptoms of sagging of the skin and soft tissues of the face, deepening of the nasolabial folds (a line between nose and mouth) and loose skin below the neck with loss of the angle between the chin and neck. The patient should be in good health, and a non-smoker with have realistic goals of rejuvenating their face.
What age is suitable for a facelift?
There is no fixed age limit to undergo cosmetic surgery; the person must have good health and be a non-smoker as safety always comes first
