What our patients say about Perfecta Cosmetic Surgery

“Amazing experience”

“I had closed Rhinoplasty done by Dr Dunkin back in January and I can honestly say I am over the moon with the results. I can not praise him enough for his professional and compassionate attitude. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and the Nuffield hosipital if you were thinking of having this procedure. I would again like to say thank you to Dr Dunkin and his staff”


“Rhinoplasty and breast implants at same time”!

“Always wanted a nose job and have my hump removed! Met a surgeon I trusted and decided to get it done at the same time as breast implants. It was the best decision I have ever made, couldn’t be happier with the results, the whole process was better than I ever imagined. I had a closed rhinoplasty and 450cc round implants.”


“Best money I’ve ever spent on myself”

“Anyone who isn’t happy with their nose will know that every time you look in the mirror, see a photo of yourself or look out the corner of your eye all you can see is this big ugly nose. Doesn’t matter what anyone says you know you hate it. I did this purely because i hated it. No ones ever bullied me for it- had the odd comment here and there but nothing major. Its been 3 months since I had the procedure and I only wish I did it earlier. Its still swollen on the tip, but even with the swelling I’m 10 times happier. It was a real straight forward procedure. Discussed what i wanted, then went ahead with it. The results make my face look a lot more feminine which obviously I’m happy with”.


“Chris you are a true artist .. sculptor I believe .. Thankyou”

“My story starts about 40 years ago when I started to be uncomfortable with the shape of my nose. My daughter had the surgery just before me (she is 21) and Chris D did such a fantastic job that I decided to have the surgery at 48. I didn’t look for a cheap deal as felt that reputation of the surgeon and aftercare was more than worth the money. My experience from the Nuffield Hospital including appointments and general was very professional. What to say about the result .. Chris did a fantastic job and I am 100% satisfied with the result after 3mnths. In fact it looked great when I took the dressing off at 7 days. Obviously wish I had done it sooner but the result may have been different in the hands of someone else. Chris you are a true artist .. sculptor I believe .. Thankyou”


“Just to say many thanks”

“or being so kind to me, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. Kind regards to you and staff”


“I see a massive difference and think you’ve done an amazing job”

“I have been lucky to be able to count hospital admissions in my life on one hand. All the staff I have come into contact with at the Nuffield, before, during and after my surgery without exception have been polite, friendly and helpful. Finally the new schnoz! It delights me on a daily basis. It still doesn’t feel entirely part of me but continues to feel less numb/stiff as the weeks pass. I am thrilled that no one who wasn’t in the know has noticed or given me a second glance which again I credit you with giving me a natural new nose. I see a massive difference and the folk I did tell (and therefore had studied my nose more closely beforehand) all think you’ve done an amazing job. Thank you and the staff once again.Thank you”


“Couldn’t be happier”

“In June 2017 I had a closed Rhinoplasty at Nuffield Health York performed by Mr Dunkin. The decision to undergo the procedure was one I had spent years mulling over. From my first consultation with Mr Dunkin it was clear that he was extremely experienced and very knowledgeable. We discussed the different surgical options for me and he asked me what about my nose I wanted to change. Whilst the serious nature of the operation was not overlooked, during this consultation Mr Dunkin made the operation seem very manageable and almost simple. Having a rhinoplasty had always been a wishful aspiration of mine that I wasn’t sure would ever materialise, it only became a tangible goal after this first consultation with Mr Dunkin. I immediately felt as though I could trust Mr Dunkin to perform my rhinoplasty and being able to trust your surgeon entirely makes the experience a lot less stressful. My biggest concern going into surgery was the revision surgery rate. The hospital had provided me with an information sheet in which it listed the percentage of patients who feel they require further surgery as around 20%. I raised this with Mr Dunkin who reassured me that his revision rate was much lower and that the majority were for under-corrections. Mr Dunkin came to see me before the operation, his calm yet fiercely capable manner put me at ease once again and left me excited for my impending operation instead of the nervous wreck I had expected to be. My surgery went very well with no complications and lasted under 2 hours. Mr Dunkin was there when I woke up to reassure me again. I approached surgery with a healthy attitude, I didn’t have an image in my head of what I wanted my nose to look like and both pre and post-op I kept reminding myself that I wasn’t getting the perfect nose stuck on my face, I was just getting a different version of my nose. My nose now is beyond what I dared to dream it could be. I spent a lifetime shying away from all conversations about noses and avoiding photographs from the side, now I am only 3 months post-op and I can already feel my confidence growing. I am extremely glad that I chose Mr Dunkin as my surgeon as I cannot imagine being in a safer pair of hands. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr Dunkin and the whole team as I could not be happier with my outcome and my entire experience. As cliché as it sounds it truly has been life changing for me and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner”!

“A New Younger Me”

“From the moment I contacted the Nuffield Hospital in Stockton-on-Tees their professionalism shone through. After I had researched the surgeons I made the decision to go with Mr Dunkin.  On my first consultation with Mr Dunkin I was nervous about the procedure, I was soon put at ease as he explained everything he was going to do. He was very polite and professional so I decided to go ahead. On the day of my facelift the nerves kicked in again, as soon as I got to the hospital the care was amazing again putting me at ease. Mr Dunkin visited pre-op to make sure I was ok”.

“After the procedure I felt fine and Mr Dunkin visited me again. The next morning bandages were removed and I could finally see how my face lift would be like. I was amazed I was looking at a new younger me. Mr Dunkin visited again to make sure I was recovering well.  The healing process has been very good, limited swelling and bruising. I was that confident I even went on holiday 6 weeks later and the compliments from my friends were uplifting. I have just had my 3 month consultation and everything is perfect. I’m over the moon and Mr Dunkin was also happy with my progress. If I ever want or need anything else done I would not hesitate to go with Mr Dunkin again”.


“Miracle worker”

“I cannot fault the care. I’ve had an incredible recovery and the results are overwhelming. Mr Dunkin has worked wonders and I couldn’t be more pleased”. 

“I wanted to thank you personally for the lovely manner in which you dealt with me. I was still undecided about surgery when I came to see you in November but had such confidence in you after our meeting that even given my squeamishness I never had a moments worry about the actual surgery. I found you warm, caring and felt that you were genuinely interested in what the surgery meant to me”.


“A Perfect Procedure”

“Chris Dunkin the plastic surgeon who performed a neck lift for me is someone I can wholeheartedly recommend. The whole experience from initial consultation, the procedure itself, the super result, and the cost, was excellent. The Nuffield Hospital in York and the staff there were all lovely, I felt safe and comfortable and under no pressure whatsoever to be discharged before I felt ready”.


“Very happy with the results”

“After wanting (needing) a face lift, I plucked up courage to have one. Mr. Chris Dunkin explained everything to me and put me at ease. I had the Operation done at the Nuffield Hospital in York. The surgery went well, and I went home next day. Five days after the operation, I popped into work the staff there were surprised I had no bruising and commented how well I looked. Ten days later, I had my stitches removed. I Had no pain and no bruising. There was a slight swelling, which is to be expected. I was able to go out with not being self-conscious. I Have had my final check up with Mr. Dunkin now and he was as pleased with the results as I am”.

“I would highly recommend Mr Dunkin and his team”

“From my first consultation I was treated with kindness and complete professionalism. I was greeted by friendly nursing staff and shown to a lovely room. Mr Dunkin came to see me and was kind, confident and put my fears to rest. Nothing was too much trouble. My procedure went very well and the aftercare was excellent”.

“Fantastic surgeon – even better man”

“Fantastic. Professional throughout, clear about every stage of the process and i’m over the moon with my new ears. Did exactly as i asked, prompt in responses with any extra questions i had. Cannot recommend highly enough if you’re thinking about plastic surgery”.

“Droopy Eyelids Gone”!!!

“Unfortunately I had obviously inherited the family eyelids. Had definitely decided I would have the procedure the hard bit was who could I trust. Carried out lots of research and eventually narrowed it down to Mr Chris Dunkin. Initial meeting gave me the reassurance that I had chosen well, all questions answered in a language I understood not all medical words”.

“Gut instinct was I could trust this person with my eyes. He came to discuss and re go through the procedure pre op and obtained my consent himself an hour before…not fobbed off to another member of the team. Chatted throughout the procedure which was very quick and painless. Advised me to expect the worst and hopefully I would be pleasantly surprised. Procedure much more painless and less stressful for me than a visit to the dentist ! Expected horrendous bruising,pain and basically to have to be locked away for a few weeks !! Not at all, two weeks later I was out in public, no make up but no stares or funny looks !

“No discomfort or pain. As soon as the stitches had been taken out a week after I could see so much improvement. 12 weeks on a a very little swelling that only I know is there, even my husband cannot tell. No one has commented, which in my book Is a great thing. I can now apply eye make up again without dragging it across a baggy saggy eyelid. My face feels more open and youthful. Personally for me this was a great procedure to have and I will never look back”.


“I would highly recommend Mr Dunkin and his team at the Nuffield”.

“From my first consultation I was treated with kindness and complete professionalism. I was greeted by friendly nursing staff and shown to a lovely room. Mr Dunkin came to see me and was kind, confident and put my fears to rest. Nothing was too much trouble. My procedure went very well and the aftercare was excellent”.
