Always felt at ease and never shameful or embarrassed. Chis was very easy to open up to and took time and care when talking with me. The after care was extremely good and responsive to my needs.

The research was worth it. From my first consultation and in the various other pre-op appointments Mr Abela was professional and attentive. I was able to ask questions and raise any concerns and was provided with all the information that I felt I needed to proceed with surgery. On the day of surgery - I felt confident in the process and the results that would be achieved, whilst also feeling relaxed. The surgery took place on time with excellent care from the anaesthetist and her team - they even took the trouble to warm me up while I waiting for the anaesthetic. Mr Abela saw me twice before I left the hospital which was reassuring. I was additionally very impressed with the care that I received sometime after surgery when I had a few complications. I would highly recommend Mr Abela. I would also like to mention his PA, Natalie who was just fab!

My experience with Mr Abela and his assistant Natalie has been brilliant from start to finish, Chris is extremely kind, patient and a pleasure to deal with. He explained the pinnaplasty surgery simply to my daughter, what she could expect during and after the surgery which I know put her at ease. Natalie was very helpful and efficient and helped us enormously in arranging appointments and timings around surgery. We can’t thank them enough and we are both over the moon with the results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommended Chris to others.

I have had an upper eyelid blepharoplasty about three months ago with the lovely Mr. Abela. I have also had a face lift more than a year ago preformed by him. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing Mr. Abela is. He is my angel who brought me back to life after three years of crying because of a botched and horrific Botox treatment done by another doctor. He is not only an outstanding plastic surgeon but he is also so caring and patient in listening and tells you exactly what to expect. His care before and after surgery is outstanding. His team is also amazing including his secretary Natalie. I am so grateful to Mr. Abela and thankful that I chose him.

Mr ABELA is amazing, went to see him about a tag on nose, during our chat he noticed moles on my arms, he asked if I had others on my body, said I had lots all over, he did a mole mot and was concerned about one on my left calf, surgery was arranged and the results was a melanoma to my horror. Further surgery was required to go deeper and now recovering, what a result, can only highly recommend him .
