Expert surgery, guided by experience and care

From facial reanimation to cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, each consultation is shaped around you, your concerns, and your long term wellbeing.

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.
