What recent patients say
4.6 / 5 · 30 Google reviewsI have been having cosmetic surgery by Paul Tulley for over 16 years. I have had two facelifts, one tummy tuck, brow lift, breast reduction and uplift, blepharoplasty and liposuction. Why do I keep going back to him? It's because he takes so much care and his results are fantastic. I would have no qualms at all in recommending Paul Tulley to anyone. He is simply BRILLIANT! UPDATE: Last week I travelled into London to have Botox and fillers done by Mr. Paul Tulley. You might ask why I travel so far to have these treatments by Mr.Tulley. It's because he knows my face inside and out...literally. I feel confident in his ability to give me the results I need to keep my facelift fresh and last longer. I choose NOT to go to beauty salons who promise so much but can fail to deliver. There would be no comeback should the results be catastrophic. My face is the first thing people see and although I am aging I choose to soften the ravages of time. These procedures have to be done by someone who knows exactly what they are doing having seen what lies underneath the skin and not practitioners who have only seen it in a text book.
I have always been concerned about my nose, and I finally decided to undergo rhinoplasty with Mr Paul Tulley. His work has been truly amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would like to sincerely thank him and his team for their outstanding professionalism and the incredible result.
I had my facial fillers done by Mr Paul Tulley, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They are exactly how I wanted them to look. I’m now planning to have my rhinoplasty with him as well after seeing the incredible results my friend achieved. Thank you, Mr Paul, for boosting my confidence again.
Dr Tulley done the best job. I’m so happy with my results! He made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted. My breast augmentation results are amazing and exactly what I hoped for. I’d highly recommend him!

Dr. Tulley's Surgical Approach
Dr. Paul Tulley approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure that works beneath the skin rather than upon it.
Dr. Paul Tulley approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure that works beneath the skin rather than upon it. The technique targets the deeper anatomical layers of the face, releasing and repositioning tissue to restore youthful contour.
Central to this method is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous fibrous layer that connects the facial muscles to the overlying skin. In a deep plane facelift, this layer is not simply tightened but mobilised as a unit.
