Thanks

yes. Didn't go to London but heard that Sk:in are good- Harley Street.

It's fine- the local anaesthetic stung a bit but it was all done quickly. I had 3 tiny stitches and they were removed a week later. I have no scar at all but it was tiny and just under my bottom lip.

yes I had a flat skin lesion removed which was near my eye.
Having the local stings a wee bit but once that's done with you don't feel a thing. I had 7 stitches but it healed up well. Can understand he's anxious but honestly really wasn't too bad at all.

I went to a plastic surgeon who carefully identified the natural contours and muscles of my face. He then made an incision/cut which was sort of elliptical in shape which sounds odd, but once stitched together and healed has given a very natural shape to my face - what I mean is that the skin was not pulled in a way which would've made me look a bit wonky. The stitches were less stitches, but rather a continuous thread of plastic looped in and out of the skin which looked awful , but I have no visible scars now. I hadn't realised it was going to look quite so bad though and when I went to work everyone thought I'd been in a car crash...

This guy is a childhood friend. I haven't seen/experienced his work, but he's supposed to be very good.
