Mr David Cheung

Written by a private patient at The Westbourne Centre

I have long known that the one elective surgery I would undertake was blepharoplasty, due to drooping lids at a young age. I chose to have a consultation with David after undertaking research.  There was no question of me going abroad to have any procedure done.  It may be cheaper,  but the potential for something to go wrong, the language barrier and aftercare needs meant staying in the UK was paramount. I went to David with thoughts of upper and lower blepharoplasty (dark circles under eyes).  David was very friendly,  easy to talk to, explaining about every element of the procedures, taking measurements,  doing drawings, really listening to me and understanding my reasons for wanting the op.  Crucially he explained why I was not a suitable candidate for lowers and why alternatives (e.g. fillers) would also not work for me. Being very risk averse I went away from the first consultation armed with lots of information supplied by David and decided not to go ahead.  After 18 further months of deliberation and research I decided to go ahead and booked a further consultation. Shortly afterwards I undertook the procedure at the Westbourne Centre in Birmingham.   From start to finish of the whole process I cannot fault all of the staff I encountered.  All so very polite, friendly and caring, putting me at ease. Throughout the procedure David was his usual calm, reassuring,  friendly and humorous self.   I had approximately 13mm taken from each upper.   I have a medium tolerance to pain and can honestly say the most painful part was administering local anaesthetic to the inner corners of the area nearest my eyebrows (and even that wasn’t so bad).  During the operation I experienced no pain,  just a sensation that something was happening around the area.  I concentrated on staying calm and listening to David's eclectic operating music list and chatting to him and the theatre staff. Post surgery I was very well briefed on what to expect and instructions to follow (which I did to the letter).  The rest of the day after surgery was uncomfortable but after that,  no problems.  It actually looked worse than it felt. I am now 5 months post op and the results of the work are nothing short of amazing.   I no longer look tired and angry,  I wear only the lightest of eye makeup to achieve the look that I couldn’t achieve before and it has bolstered my self esteem no end.  Thank you so much David, I would (and have) recommended you to several people for a job well done.  My only wish is that I’d done it sooner!

Mr Cheung was lovely! I had a upper and lower lid blepharoplasty under twilight sedation at the Edgbaston hospital 6 months ago. I felt that I was in safe hands after my friend's mom needed cancer surgery to her eyelid at Russells Hall Hospital and I saw her result. I had a remote Zoom consultation with David last month. I so wanted to show him what the final result was but this pandemic put a stop to that. I so want to show my pictures and although this experience has done wonders for my confidence, I'm still not brave enough! Anyway thanks so much David!

I was referred to David Cheung re warts on my eyelids. He explained exactly what they were and what he could do to remove them. An appointment was made and on entering the hospital I was greeted by some very lovely and caring staff. I was taken down to theatre and again greeted by great friendly staff who again explained to me the procedure that David was going to undertake. After the minor operation and a friendly chat with David I was taken to recovery and after a short while was allowed home. A further appointment was made with David to review the results and both he and I were very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Mr Cheung for his professionalism and knowledge and he makes his patients feel important and at ease.
