At almost 69 years young, choosing to undergo a mastopexy (breast lift) & brachioplasty (arm lift) was a very personal decision that I made for no one other than myself. Finding the right plastic surgeon can feel like navigating a minefield, so when Dr Lionel Jedeikin was recommended to me by the friend of an anaesthetist, I felt reassured. Looking back now, I could not have made a better choice. I am only three weeks post-surgery, yet my experience has exceeded every expectation. I experienced absolutely ZERO pain following both procedures, my healing has been remarkably smooth & the scarring is far less intimidating than I had anticipated, particularly for the arm lift. Within a week I was able to comfortably elevate my arms & each day I continue to be amazed by my progress. My breasts look 25 years younger - beautifully lifted, symmetrical, natural-looking & incredibly feminine. What has impressed me most is not only Dr Jedeikin’s surgical skill, but also the care, professionalism & confidence he inspires throughout the process. From the consultation through to recovery, I have felt that I was in exceptionally capable hands with Dr Jedeikin & his team. The physical results are wonderful, but the emotional impact has been even greater. For the first time in many years, I feel feminine, confident & sexy again. The best part is that my journey is still ongoing & I know the final result will continue to improve over the coming months. If you are considering cosmetic surgery & are searching for a surgeon you can trust, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Lionel Jedeikin. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner! A HUGE thank you to Dr Jedeikin, Dr Patel & my beautiful carers, Annet & Shiamma, for helping me feel like the very best version of myself. Your skill, kindness, patience & support throughout my journey have been exceptional. From the moment I entrusted myself to your care, I felt safe, reassured & genuinely looked after. You have helped restore not only my confidence, but also a sense of femininity & self belief that I hadn’t felt in many years. For that, I will be forever grateful……

As a 50-year-old male, choosing the right surgeon was my biggest concern, and going with Dr Lionel Jedeikin was absolutely the right decision. He is professional, honest, and has an exceptional eye for natural, masculine results. The entire experience—from consultation to recovery—was seamless, with excellent support from his team. The outcome is subtle but transformative: I look fresher and more youthful without looking “done,” which is exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended.

I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Lionel Jedeikin and his team highly enough. From my very first interaction, the level of care, professionalism, and genuine compassion was on a completely different level. Dr. Jedeikin is truly exceptional. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, explained everything thoroughly, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. His attention to detail, surgical expertise, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome are second to none. He is, without question, one of the best doctors I have ever had the privilege of dealing with. Debbie was an absolute star throughout the journey. Her warmth, kindness, dedication, and genuine care for patients are remarkable. She consistently went the extra mile and played a huge role in making the entire experience feel personal, supportive, and stress-free. Ashleigh's communication and correspondence were outstanding. Every email was professional, prompt, informative, and incredibly helpful, ensuring that every question was answered and every detail was taken care of efficiently. Dr. Patel's post-operative care was equally impressive. His availability, responsiveness, and willingness to address questions quickly provided reassurance and reflected the clinic's exceptional standard of patient care long after the procedure itself. The clinic is immaculate, modern, and maintained to the highest standards. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can sense the professionalism, excellence, and genuine passion for patient care. What truly sets this practice apart is the heartfelt way in which patients are treated. Everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel valued, cared for, and supported. It is rare to find a medical team that combines world-class professionalism with such genuine compassion and personal attention. If you are looking for the very best, Dr. Jedeikin and his team set the benchmark. An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Rhinoplasty Loved every moment of it, which sounds a little strange but it’s true. I felt zero pain through the entire operation and healing process, I had no bruising and the transition was very mild. So grateful for this whole team!

I went to Alchemy clinic to have some moles checked for Melanoma. I saw Dr Rabin Patel who was absolutely brilliant. Thorough caring ans great communication which is so important especially when dealing with the potential health issues. He did a biopsy immediate and despite it being on a sensitive area I did not feel anything from local anaesthetic to the removal. And post op I did not have a single second of pain. In fact I did not know I had anything done the area was not even tender. Follow up was also great for the positive results fast which helped a lot with the anxiety waiting. Highly recommend this clinic. Thanks to Debbie and Dr Jedeikin for organising everything so quickly for me.

My experience with Dr Jedeiken and everyone at Alchimia Clinic where I went for Rhinoplasty Surgery was absolutely incredible start to finish. The care the exceptional. Dr Jedeiken is incredibly attentive to detail and explained the process and all the possible outcomes very clearly from first consultation. I couldn’t be happier with the results - when I came back to London after recovering (2 weeks later) no one could believe how natural my new nose looked but of course it was still swollen for a while and now, 3 months later, it looks completely perfect though I am told the final shape will now show until 12 months. I feel very lucky and grateful to have had the experience I had with this doctor and clinic.

My experience with Dr. Jedeikin and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. I had functional nasal surgery just over a month ago, and the results have already been absolutely life-changing. I’ve struggled with breathing issues my entire life, and really wanted to improve my quality of life. But at the same time, I was also a bit nervous—because of the asymmetry in my nose, I worried about how the changes might affect my appearance. From the moment I was referred to Dr. Jedeikin, my fears were put to rest. His knowledge, professionalism, and outstanding reputation gave me complete confidence. Just one month after the procedure, I can hardly believe the difference—it feels incredible to finally be able to breathe fully through my nose. I am sleeping better and my energy levels are up. On top of that, my nose looks completely natural and symmetrical. Beyond the results, the entire experience at the clinic and retreat was exceptional. The team truly went above and beyond, treating me with such care and attention to every detail. What could have been a daunting process was instead made comfortable—even enjoyable. I’m deeply grateful and so thrilled with the outcome.
