What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 262 Google reviewsI had my breast implants done by Mr Andrew Greensmith in 2018. I missed my 5 year review and recently returned, 8 years later, just to make sure everything was still in order and thankfully, it was. The results were very natural, exactly as I wanted, and once healed I had virtually no visible scarring. I’ve been extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend him.
My revision was a difficult case, but from start to finish, the whole process was handled with professionalism and care. I felt at ease with the whole process and I am so happy with the results. I couldn't recommend Andrew more highly to anyone.
Amazing experience from beginning to end with Andrew. I felt comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the whole process. He was professional, attentive and the results exceeded my expectations. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
I had my consult with today and it was such a great experience. He thoroughly explained every detail, answered all of my questions and made me feel really comfortable and informed throughout the entire consult. I never felt rushed and really appreciated how professional, knowledgeable and understanding he was. I’m feeling very confident moving forward and will be booking my surgery for the end of the year. Highly recommend! 🤍

Dr. Greensmith's Surgical Approach
The deep plane facelift performed by specialist surgeons like Dr. Andrew Greensmith works at a deeper anatomical level than traditional skin-only facelifts.
The deep plane facelift performed by specialist surgeons like Dr. Andrew Greensmith works at a deeper anatomical level than traditional skin-only facelifts. Rather than pulling the skin tight, the technique addresses the SMAS layer — the supportive sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin that gives the face its structure.
In a deep plane approach, the surgeon works within the sub-SMAS plane, releasing the deeper tissues from their aging attachments. This allows the entire facial layer to be repositioned as a unit, restoring volume and contour to the cheeks and midface.
