Cosmetic Surgery Today: Everything You Wanted To Know About Cosmetic Surgery

Eyelid Surgery

Eye surgery or blepharoplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures. Fat is removed along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids to lift drooping upper lids and reduce ‘eye bags’ that form beneath the eyes. This procedure can knock years off you by making the eyes look younger and firmer, reducing a hooded appearance or removing under eye pouches.

Cosmetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgen

At McDiarmid-Hall Clinic you meet Mr McDiarmid,the surgeon who will be undertaking your surgery and postoperative care (if surgery is deemed appropriate) not a nurse or salesperson.

Refreshingly we are not pushing an unattainable image of youth and beauty (this is why we do not use models in our advertising), in fact there is no sales pitch at all. We believe that the decision to undergo surgical or nonsurgical treatment is a highly personal one and one that should be made following consultation with an expert who is experienced in the field. This is why we provide a highly personal confidential service with world class expertise and aftercare.

Mr McDiarmid’s special interests are aesthetic surgery of the breast, rhinoplasty, body recontouring and facial rejuvenation surgery.

Having been an NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon for 8 years Mr McDiarmid has now left the NHS to focus his attention on full time aesthetic practice.
