Top Plastic Surgeons
"[Chris Abela is] admired for his calm professionalism, clear communication and consistently exceptional patient feedback."

Safe surgery is the key priority for Chris and his team, from deciding at the outset whether surgery is the best route for you, the type of surgery best suited to your situation, to the anaesthesia used; your medical history and unique set of circumstances will be taken into consideration.

Prior to surgery it is important to understand that surgery is never completely without risk and Chris will go over all reasonable risks and potential complications. Some problems can be foreseen and can therefore mitigated against before surgery, whilst other problems, however rare, arise by chance and must be dealt with promptly.

Chris will detail steps that need to be taken to reduce risks in surgery and to ensure a speedy recovery time. This may include, for example, reducing or giving up smoking, losing weight and improving diabetic control.

At the time of surgery, the risk of any infection will be minimised by checking the sterility of the equipment before any intervention, preparing the surgical site with antiseptic solution and where appropriate prescribing antibiotics. Dressings will be used to protect the surgical site after the operation.

If any complications do arise, Chris and his team will be on hand to support you and will provide you with everything you need. The vast majority of complications can be treated without further surgery.



Patient Testimonials

I was diagnosed with hyperhidrosis ( excessive sweating) in 2014 and referred to Mr Christopher Abela Clinique. He suggested various treatments to address my needs and found the best solution. He has been very approachable and more than competent as a surgeon. He has changed my life completely and gave me my confidence back. If you are looking for a great plastic surgeon, he is your man.

From the moment I was referred to Dr Abela it was seamless and I was so impressed by the level of care. Both he and his secretary Natalie went above and beyond to help. I am delighted with the results and can't thank him and the MOHs surgeon enough. I had a 100% confidence in them both and would highly recommend - trusted, expert and very professional. Thank you again I'm delighted.

I cannot recommend Chris Abela highly enough following my breast reduction and uplift. I had been considering having this operation for many years and, honestly, I wish I had done it years ago. From my very first consultation, Chris made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, explained everything thoroughly and, importantly, never made me feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. He genuinely wants you to take the time to consider the procedure fully and make the decision that is right for you. From the initial consultation right through to the operation and post-operative care, the whole experience has been amazing. Chris is incredibly professional, reassuring and caring, and I had complete confidence in him throughout. I would trust him 100%. I also cannot praise Natalie, his PA, enough. She has been absolutely wonderful from the very beginning and has been so helpful, approachable and reassuring throughout the entire process. Having someone so lovely and supportive available whenever I had a question made such a difference. The aftercare has also been exceptional. Chris has been incredibly attentive and has taken a real interest in my recovery, making sure I am happy, comfortable and healing well. It is clear that his care extends far beyond the actual surgery. I am absolutely delighted that I finally went ahead with the procedure and only wish I had done it sooner. The results have made such a difference to me, both physically and emotionally, and I am so grateful to Chris and Natalie for making the whole journey such a positive experience. If you are considering breast reduction or uplift surgery, I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris. His expertise, honesty, care and attention to detail are exceptional, and I would trust him completely.

Christopher Abela is highly skilled, patient ,compassionate and takes the time to listen explaining in detail the procedure needed which is imperative when facing the unknown I can not praise Mr Abela highly enough. I have been a patient for 18 months for BCC located on my lower nose and under my eye and needed a forehead flap, the care and kindness of Mr Abela's team and Nurses was exceptionable during my stay and the many visits during my care. Delighted to report all BCC removed and the scars are minimal due to the skills of this wonderful Consultant and his team.

I'm not sure there's anything Mr Abela could do to improve! He's delightful, NOT arrogant, and he did a fabulous subtle operation on my eyelids.
Parkside Hospital feedback, Procedure: Facial plastic surgery : January, 2026
Dear Chris, I know I said this in person but I wanted to thank you again for all that you've done for me over the last 2 years. I suspect like many of your patients with massive weight loss, this hasn't just been a physical transformation for me, it has been a mental and emotional one. The skill with which you performed my surgeries has contributed to all aspects of my wellbeing and I am truly grateful for your time, kindness and professionalism. I doubt that you are aware of how I got to the stage where I needed these surgeries but it was via an eating disorder, alcoholism and crippling depression. I have recovered from all of these over the last 9 years. The surgery has been an important part of that recovery process.

The surgery was then carried out faultlessly and quickly. I would highly recommend Mr Abela.
