Why Choose Us for Facial Trauma Care?
A Message from Mr Nabeel Bhatti & Professor Simon Holmes
Welcome to our practice. We are Mr Nabeel Bhatti and Professor Simon Holmes, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons with specialist expertise in the treatment and reconstruction of facial trauma.
We understand that sustaining an injury to the face is not just physically traumatic—it can affect how you speak, eat, breathe, see, and present yourself to the world. Whether your trauma is recent or long-standing, our goal is simple: to restore both function and appearance, using the most advanced, evidence-based techniques available.
Together, we bring decades of combined experience at the highest level of trauma care in the UK and internationally, including leading the Craniofacial Trauma Service at The Royal London Hospital, one of the busiest trauma centres in Europe.
Why Patients Choose Our Private Practice
When you come to see us privately, your care is managed directly by us—no junior doctors, no handovers. We carry out all consultations, planning, and surgery ourselves, ensuring continuity and clarity at every stage.
We take time to assess every aspect of your case:
We’ll walk you through your options, risks, likely outcomes, and any alternatives, so you can make an informed decision.
Where appropriate, we use digital surgical planning, 3D modelling, and custom-made implants to restore facial structure with millimetre accuracy. Whether it's a complex orbital reconstruction, mandible fracture, or post-traumatic deformity, we apply techniques designed to minimise error and optimise outcome.
We operate in state-of-the-art private hospitals where we have access to the imaging, anaesthesia, and surgical support we need to deliver safe, effective care.
Our shared focus is on delivering outcomes that matter to patients:
We continuously evaluate our results—because we believe if we can’t measure it, we can’t improve it.
Recovery doesn’t end in the operating room. In private care, we ensure:
We believe post-operative care should be as proactive as the surgery itself.
Our collaboration spans both NHS and private sectors, combining over 40 years of experience. Simon’s work focuses on craniofacial trauma and orbital reconstruction, while Nabeel brings additional expertise in TMJ management, orthognathic surgery, and complex post-traumatic revision in private settings.
Together, we offer a joined-up service, where multiple aspects of trauma (bone, nerve, function, appearance) are assessed and managed holistically—not in isolation.
Private treatment may be appropriate if you:
We are always transparent about the benefits and limitations of private treatment, and we will never recommend surgery unless it is truly in your best interest.
If you’ve sustained a facial injury—or are living with the effects of one—please feel free to contact us for a consultation. We are happy to review past imaging, listen to your goals, and give an honest, expert opinion on how best to move forward.
We’re here to help you heal—fully, safely, and with confidence.
Warm regards,
