What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 38 Google reviewsAfter my very first meeting with Mr Grover I made the decision to go ahead with my Deep Plane Facelift. He explained the procedure very well and was entirely honest about the expected outcome. I had intended to consult with two other surgeons but I felt so at ease with Mr Grover I did not bother going elsewhere. The whole process went extremely smoothly and I was impressed that Mr Grover takes care of you personally throughout your recovery, whilst in hospital and at any subsequent appointments.. The aftercare is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Grover and his lovely team, Katerina and Jackie, and would like to thank them for their kindness and support throughout my journey. Thank you Mr Grover for helping me to, once again, identify with my mirror image, I thought that person was well and truly gone.
Result and process exceeded all my expectations. From the initial consultation which was s very comfortable meeting with this extraordinary gentleman I knew I could not go anywhere else to have my Deep Plane Facelift. I was monitored all the way and had very little pain and no bruising post surgery. The London Clinic also gave me the confidence I needed to ensure I was in the right surroundings. My result has been amazing and I am so so pleased. His team Jackie, Katerina and Mr Verma are clearly at the top of their game. I cannot tell you enough that this is the ONLY place and surgeon you should consider for this procedure. THANK YOU Mr Grover xxxxx
I had a deep plain facelift with Mr. Rajiv Grover just over 4 weeks ago and am amazed with the results even in these early days. The care post op has been constantly reassuring and thorough and although I have swelling (this is to be expected) which is slowly reducing - I can already see my former self emerging. Mr. Grover will not do this procedure just because you want to do it, he will do it only when he thinks the time is right. This speaks volumes of his perfectionist approach. His bedside manner never leaves him whether in hospital or in his Harley St consultations. He is highly skilled, artistic, charismatic and kind. Mr. Grover’s attention to detail is flawless and his calm demeanor reflects his expansive experience as a surgeon. It’s no wonder he is so highly respected and in demand. I cannot recommended him more strongly - if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to have a “Rajiv” as I call it. I am so grateful to have not only have my facelift with him; it is such a privilege to have met this wonderful & humble human being. Jackie & Katerina who run the clinic are remarkable, nothing is too much and they are always on hand for any concerns or questions. They also keep a close eye pre-and post op. Lovely team. Thanks guys I appreciate you immensely! CP❤️
It has been six weeks since my Deep Plane Face Lift, and I can only say I am beyond thrilled with the result. Can you turn back the clock !!!!, yes you can with Mr Grover’s expertise and skill. From the moment you meet this most personable and humble gentleman all doubts on the big decision should I, shouldn’t I melt away. His wonderful team with Jackie, Katerina and Mr Verma the anaesthetist and his choice of hospitals make the journey from decision to surgery to home seamless, comfortable and stress free, leaving me able to just enjoy the vision, artistry and skill Mr Grove accomplished with my facial surgery. Not only when I look in the mirror do I smile, I am thankful I certainly chose the right surgeon for the Deep Plain Face Lift. Ladies look no more, Mr Grover truly is the best. Pauline
