I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Townley back in June. My whole experience from consultation, to surgery to recovery has been amazing. I was so nervous prior to the surgery but I was really put at ease by him and all of his team. Dr Townley is professional, kind and patient. I’m so glad that I chose him to be my surgeon. Thank you Dr Townley for giving me the most perfect nose. You managed to turn the thing I hated most about myself into the thing I can’t stop looking at! I really just wish that I did it sooner!

The whole journey was fantastic, from day 1 of consultation I felt at ease and in safe hands. The results are just as expected and are exactly what I wanted. The day of surgery I was a little nervous but excited too, the hospital team and surgery team all made me feel really at ease, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I had no pain and very little swelling. I would highly recommend William if you are looking to have surgery as his knowledge and kind manner along with this supporting team has made the whole journey enjoyable and stress free!

I cannot recommend Mr Townley highly enough. I have the privilege to work with Mr Townley as part of the Head and Neck team at Guy's hospital. He is an extremely skilled and capable surgeon, who always goes the extra mile for his patients and is very well respected by his peers. Bill is a top facial reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgeon, and one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in London.
