Confidence Restored
World-leading specialist care in facial reanimation, facial paralysis and cosmetic surgery.
Facial Reanimation
If you are living with facial paralysis, it is understandable to feel uncertain about what comes next. Facial reanimation is a highly specialised field, and each individual’s situation is different.
The Facial Reanimation Hub has been created as a dedicated resource to help you understand the causes of facial paralysis, the range of surgical and non surgical options available, and what recovery and rehabilitation may involve. It is designed to support careful, informed decisions, guided by specialist experience rather than rushed answers.
Care begins with listening, thorough assessment, and clear explanation, so that each treatment plan reflects both medical needs and what matters most to you.
Additional Services
The practice offers a range of facial, breast, body and non-surgical procedures, delivered with clarity and care. Each option is considered in context, with open discussion around suitability, expectations and outcomes, so you can make decisions with confidence and understanding.

World-leading expertise in facial reanimation and complex facial surgery
Facial reanimation and facial paralysis treatment require a high level of specialist experience, advanced anatomical knowledge, and careful surgical judgement. These procedures are complex, highly individual, and demand an understanding that develops over many years of focused practice.
Care is led by Ms Tzafetta, a consultant plastic surgeon with decades of experience in facial surgery and recognised international expertise in facial reanimation. Her work in this field places her among a small number of surgeons worldwide with the training, experience, and clinical insight required to assess and treat complex facial paralysis cases.
This depth of experience allows each case to be evaluated with precision. Treatment options are considered carefully, surgical planning is thorough, and recommendations are based on evidence, anatomy, and long term functional outcomes rather than short term cosmetic change.
Every treatment plan follows comprehensive assessment and clear discussion of risks, benefits, and realistic expectations. Decisions are guided by facial function, symmetry, and durability of results, with patient safety and outcome quality at the centre of care.
Patient experiences, shared with care
Hearing from others who have been through treatment can be reassuring, particularly when decisions feel complex or uncertain. The experiences shared here reflect thoughtful care, clear communication, and the importance of being listened to throughout the process.
Testimonials are shared with permission and care, and represent individual experiences rather than promises of outcome.
Lip fillers for cleft lip scar
I saw Ms Tzafetta for filler to my upper lip to correct scarring from my cleft lip surgery. I had been thinking of having lip fillers for a while but was unsure due to my previous surgeries and having scar tissue there. I put my full trust in Ms Tzafetta…
Amazing Results. Better Than I Could Possibly Have Hoped For!
Amazing results and amazing after care. I am in my late sixties and this lovely lovely lady has worked miracles. That is no exaggeration. Mrs Tzafetta was recommended by a nurse friend and I am so so pleased I took this leap of faith and I could not be more…
I had an amazing experience and my surgery hasn’t been life changing
I had Abdominoplasty, liposuction and repair of internal muscles. Ms Tzafetta is not only highly professional but personable. She is a very talented surgeon as well as incredibly compassionate. Ms Tzafetta was very attentive and I was very well cared for during my time at Springfield Hospital.
Thank you for giving me my confidence back!
This doctor was extremely helpful, friendly, approachable and made me feel at ease. She understood my problems and gave me the best solution. I can’t thank her enough for the results that I’ve achieved, she has given me my confidence back.
Love my Body Now

Incredible Surgeon and So Lovely too!
I had liposuction under the Care of Ms Tzafetta at the Rivers Hospital. She was so lovely and caring, she did an incredible job with my legs! They are a completely different shape and look amazing! I am so happy, I would highly recommend her as a surgeon.
