Leanne’s Story

I did a lot of research and looked at many reviews before I decided to go for a consultation. Bella Vou stood out to me as every review I had read ​from other patients like me were so reasurring. RealSelf was a great help in finding impartial feedback about the experience of others; I wanted to do my homework and to learn from experiences of others rather than just relying on looking at the clinic's website or from reading their litrature, so i made an appointment to see Rohit Seth, one of the surgeons.

When I arrived I instantly felt at ease and the staff were all warm and​ so friendly yet​ ever​ so professional. ​The surgeon spent a lot of time with me, explaining the procedure fully and answering all of my questions. Rohit really took his time; there was no rush and I felt really confident and in very safe hands​.

The patient coordinators also saw me and were with me throughout my journey. The clinic is beautiful and very well presented, the cleanliness is beyond excellent and you feel like a VIP as soon as you walk through the doors! I knew I had definitely made the right decision and I felt no need to see anyone else!

I feel like a new woman! I cannot recommend the clinic, staff and surgeon enough. I look in the mirror now ​and feel so much better about myself. I love my fresh new look!​

It was really just such a small and quick procedure (about 40 minutes), but what a huge difference such a small thing has made. So many people have commented on how well I look but they have no idea that I have had surgery.

Apart from some swelling for the first 3 days, I have had no bruising and within a week I was looking like I never had anything done​, which is exactly what I was after. I wanted my saggy eyelids gone, but I didn’t want to look like I had been under the knife and that is exactly what the surgeon has achieved!

The procedure itself is actually quite enjoyable​. I was a bit nervous before hand, but that was to be expected​. I had ​my upper eyelid procedure under ​just a ​local anaesthetic and ​although I was told it wouldn't hurt I was half prepared to think that this wasn't entirely the case and that i would feel it.

Aside from the initial injection, I actually didn't feel any pain at all. I could feel the surgeon touching my eyelid but there was no pain whatsoever. The experience was surreal, in fact, I really quite enjoyed it. Rohit and Bella Vou's theatre staff were really so lovely, we talked throughout the whole time and then before I knew it, it was over.

I had stitches which were removed after one week and the scar has completely faded into the creases. I ​loved the experience from start to finish, but I love even more having my eyes not looking like they belonged on a 50 year old. The surgeon ​was excellent​ and I am so ​thrilled with ​my results. Thank you very much Bella Vou for ​helping me feel so much better about myself, I am so very very happy!
