I was diagnosed with hyperhidrosis ( excessive sweating) in 2014 and referred to Mr Christopher Abela Clinique. He suggested various treatments to address my needs and found the best solution. He has been very approachable and more than competent as a surgeon. He has changed my life completely and gave me my confidence back. If you are looking for a great plastic surgeon, he is your man :)

Having been referred to Mr Abela for a relatively minor condition, requiring a steroid injection, I was pleasantly surprised by his professional, courteous and unhurried approach. I have had two consultations with him and each time he has displayed a caring and reassuring manner. His concern for you as a patient is evident and this in turn, builds a sense of trust.

I was referred to Mr Abela for a suspected hernia. He was friendly and professional throughout and has a very reassuring and confident manner which made me feel as at ease as is possible when undergoing major surgery. I felt I was being very well cared for throughout the process. I would highly recommend Mr Abela and all the health care professionals that cared for me both during and after my surgery. You are all doing a fantastic job for our NHS. Thank you.

As soon as I met with Mr Abela I felt at ease he explained my options fully and was realistic about the results to expect. I had loose saggy skin on my stomach after having a very large baby and then losing weight pretty quickly. It affected my life immensely and I was on anti depressants infact just the thought of a changing room or holiday could lead to a melt down. After years of this I finally had a tummy tuck November 2015 and I can't explain how happy I am. As well as looking so much better it's also really given my confidence back. I just wish I'd had it done sooner I highly recommend Mr Abela and his team

Christopher Abela was all I could have hoped for in a surgeon. I was definitely in good hands and I believe I have received the best treatment, care and advice, before, during and after my surgery. In fact everyone in the department has been exceptional and I am extremely grateful.
