After years of searching for the right Surgeon who listened and understood me, I had absolutely no hesitation to proceed. I did my research first and read the reviews and as I can now confirm based on my own experience, everything I read was correct and Mr Abela deserves all of the 5 star ratings that patients have awarded him. My procedure was very straight forward. Recovery was slightly more difficult for me personally due to my own health issues and Mr Abela was there to support me, not only with my physical health but also with my mental health concerns. Cosmetically surgery is not something that you should take lightly, believe me I speak from experience. I have in the past found myself in the hands of cowboys but when you meet Mr Abela you will understand that he is one of the good ones! My only disappointment is that I didn't find him earlier...

Christopher Abela is highly skilled, patient ,compassionate and takes the time to listen explaining in detail the procedure needed which is imperative when facing the unknown I can not praise Mr Abela highly enough.
I have been a patient for 18 months for BCC located on my lower nose and under my eye and needed a forehead flap, the care and kindness of Mr Abela's team and Nurses was exceptionable during my stay and the many visits during my care.
Delighted to report all BCC removed and the scars are minimal due to the skills of this wonderful Consultant and his team . The facilities at Chelsea and Westminster are exceptional and not to be taken for granted thank you NHS

Mr Abela was very kind, patient and understanding during my consultation regarding the removal of my birthmark. I was impressed with the breadth of his knowledge insofar as he was able to inform me of various techniques outside of plastic surgery for removing / concealing my birthmark. And in regard to a plastic surgery method of removal, he was able to describe to me in simple terms how the procedure would take place.

Dr Abela and his team are simply, wonderful. I had a Basal Cell Carcinoma on my nose and after MOHS surgery, Dr Abela reconstructed the area.
In addition to being a great surgeon, Dr Abela was compassionate and kind. I felt very well cared for and was never rushed by him.
My treatment was via our great NHS and Dr.Abela treats all patients with dignity and respect. Moreover, he is an exceptional human and thank goodness the NHS has such inspiring medics and nurses.
