Explanation

I had an upper eye blepharoplasty with Mr Lim at Innersense Aesthetics mMedical in York 12 weeks ago. I had problems with hooded eyelids and couldn’t put on eye makeup without my mascara touching my eyelids. The procedure from start to finish was completely painless and I felt looked after and safe in the hands of Mr Lim and his Nurses. I would highly recommend this company.

Explanation

I saw him about a painful and problematic cyst on my hand, not sure whether anything could be done as the first person I had asked was concerned about tackling it. He was thoughtful and careful and explained how he thought it could be removed and the skin moved around in order to cover the gap it would leave. The actual procedure was less traumatic than I had feared despite seeing very long pieces of thread sewing me up! The couple of weeks after were a bit difficult trying to keep it dry but I soon got used to it. Now, a couple of months later, it is beginning to look much less swollen with very little scarring although still a bit tender. I thank him and highly recommend him to others.

Mr Lim is a diligent, thoughtful and professional surgeon who has taken the time to understand my desired outcome and superseded my expectation in terms of what has been achieved. He has gone over and above in both time and effort to provide me with a new lease of life. Due to his skill and patience, the results are better than I could have ever hoped for - I couldn’t be happier.

At first I had reservations about Mr Lim in the initial consultation, but how he proved me wrong on the day of the surgery! He had a very calming nature before and during the surgery and made me feel like he had my best interests at heart. Post surgery he was friendly and seemed happy with the results. I am so pleased that his surgery has meant I am no longer in daily pain. Still a little way to go on the healing process but nearly there. Thank you

Where do I even begin - if you are considering having a tummy tuck do not go to anyone else but Mr Lim! I had been Insecure for many years about a lower stomach pouch after having two c-section deliveries. I had been considering a tummy tuck to remove this for a while, and following a in-depth consultation with Phill I finally felt safe to go ahead with the procedure. From start to finish he was caring, reassuring and professional. The results have completely exceeded my expectations and I am over the moon! His experience and knowledge surrounding abdominal surgeries is evident. I would recommend him to anyone contemplating this surgery in order to the the best possible results!
