Júlio Matias

I highly recommend Dr J Matias. In the last few years, I have had many consultations with Doctors and did not feel confident to move forward with a facial scar revision procedure, till I met Dr Matias.

He initially gained my trust through his clear & concise consultation method. I am extremely happy with the results & his work is above and beyond my expectations.

Also, Sandra is excellent patient support, always available for any queries.

Very much pleased with the results! Great service, friendly, caring and professional.

I had eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Matias. This procedure is done under local anaesthetic and I was quite nervous prior to going in. Dr. Matias is incredibly competent and professional whilst having a wonderful manner of putting you at ease.

You are treated as an individual and I truly feel he cares for his patients and understands what they are going through. On the day of the procedure, I was quite anxious but felt very reassured by his kind words and his competence and the extra touch of putting on my favourite music to concentrate on.

The first few days of recovery are uncomfortable but manageable and any queries or concerns are quickly responded to. I was very impressed by the whole process from the first consult to final follow up, especially the very kind and helpful Sandra, Dr Matias' assistant.

I would certainly highly recommend this clinic and Dr Matias.

I had a closed rhinoplasty with Dr Julio to correct my boxy- bulbous tip, slim the bridge and minimise nasal bump. I was travelling in Portugal and did not plan to have the surgery but researched and went to the consultation anyway and safe to say I felt completely comfortable with Dr Julio. He showed me before & afters of his previous rhinoplasty patients and the results were very natural which was what I was looking for. He is talented at achieving natural-looking results and has a great eye for even the tiny details. I had the consultation on a Thursday and the surgery the following Tuesday. Sandra was amazing with communication & organisation always available if I needed anything! as I wanted to have the surgery as soon as possible and they kindly fit me in perfectly.

I had fast recovery time, a lot of my bruising was gone 7 days post-op when I got the cast removed, even though they had to break my nasal bones.

I am 2 weeks post-op now and can see the shape is much better, the tip is more of a triangle shape instead of a box shape, the bridge is straighter & slimmer. The swelling apparently can take up to 9 months to go down on the tip, so it is more downward-facing and round than I would like but am being patient for the final result. I am still more happy with it now than before, also am already very impressed with the results!

I would not hesitate to go back to Dr Julio if I decide to have any other procedures done. Was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend. Thank you!

I came to Portugal to have a keloid scar surgically removed and Júlio Matias did an amazing job! I’m so happy with the results, he and his assistant made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. They adjusted to my needs and the clinics I attended were clean and modern I couldn’t have asked for a better service from them. I would definitely recommend!

I had a mastectomy operation at Hospital St Louis, performed by Dr Matias. I'm happy with the results. Also, I have had three post-surgery evaluation in order to monitor my healing. Dr Matias explained very well how the overall procedure from surgery to recovery i.e. when to start exercises etc.

My surgery was breast implants-boobs job. My journey with plastic surgery began several years ago when I do not feel complete and satisfied with my appearance, I decided to change that feeling. I took the surgery to feel confident and to improve self-esteem.

I would advise the surgery to a friend because the emotional and achievement difference is fundamental for those that want to achieve happiness and personal fulfilment.

About the value, there is no value which pays the self-esteem. So, it was a fair value.

I choose this clinic regards the good name of the doctor and the previews works that he had done and I heard about. Also, the empathy, sympathy and trust that I felt since the first minute were helpful.

On my first visit, I was excited, curious, afraid and confused about my decision. When I first met the doctor and the clinical staff I felt relief and calm. More than the clinical environment, the clinician and the assistant were superb. I need to highlight that the thing that I value the most is the empathy, tranquillity, safeness/trust and I felt 100% of this with this clinician. Were my first surgery and I recommend.

No regrets, no complains.

I chose this clinic for eyelid surgery. Reviews and location were good. I’m happy with the results as well. It took a total of 12 weeks to recover completely, but I only spent one night in the clinic.

The clinic was so clean, and the staff were nice. They were very good at keeping in touch after my surgery and offered an excellent aftercare service. I did go back for a follow-up and have another review with them soon.

Open revision rhinoplasty with bulbous tip reduction.

Of all of the clinics contacted in the Lisbon area, Júlio Matias was not only the first to reply but also the only one to reply.

From the initial contact with Sandra, Júlio’s coordinator things couldn’t have been smoother.

An appointment was scheduled for a consultation approximately 10 days in advance at a clinic in Lisbon.

Upon arrival at the clinic, the registration process took only seconds. They were aware of my appointment well in advance and had all the necessary documents ready to sign.

The consultation with Júlio was simple and straightforward. He made sure my expectations were more than realistic, explained exactly what was and what was not possible.

Having met with multiple surgeons in different countries I knew immediately that this was the guy I wanted to carry out the procedure. I scheduled the appointment that day.

In the time between consultation and surgery, any nerves or buyers remorse was immediately handled by Sandra on telephone or SMS to put me at ease. She went above and beyond the call of duty. ( I assure you whatever questions you have she has heard hundreds of times before) and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

I am now one-week post surgery. Today I had the sutures removed and have another follow up in three weeks or so.

Not much more to say other than I would absolutely recommend the services of Júlio Matias.

A true professional and gentleman.

5 stars.

I had a breast augmentation and I couldn’t be happier about it! I was so scared and nervous in the beginning but doctor Julio is such an excellent professional and genuinely nice person, that I was sure I was in good hands.

From the first consultation, I decided this is the right doctor for me. He answered patiently my never-ending questions, was very honest and clear about what to expect. The surgery went very well and I have no complications at all! My recovery overall was very easy and not painful.

My results are exactly what I was hoping for. I would advise anyone who is thinking about this procedure to do it, you will be very happy about it.

The hospital was very nice and all the staff were very professional and lovely! All the team involved in my surgery was excellent! I couldn’t have asked for a better! Huge thanks to everyone!

I am 52 years old. Over the past five years, I’ve noticed my eyelids drooping more and more, particularly on my right side. My mother had Blepharoplasty in her early 70s because her eyelids drooped over her eyes and obstructed her vision. I didn’t want this to happen to me.

One of my main concerns, when I am choosing a doctor, is how they treat me as a person. I don’t like doctors who treat me like a paycheck. My experience with Dr. Matias and his staff was pleasant from beginning to end. They were friendly, helpful and respectful. They accommodated my busy schedule and travel time to the clinic (just over three hours). Waiting time was minimal. The cost for the procedure was comparable to other clinics or better.

It is still early, but so far my results are excellent. I am a real fan. I highly recommend Dr. Matias and his colleagues.

The clinic was clean. The staff was efficient and friendly. The location is excellent.

I had upper eyelid surgery, a half facelift, removal of a mole and some liposuction around the neck. I am 68 years old and my jowls had sunk, my eyelids made me look as if my eyes were only partly open and under neck was wrinkled.

It was totally pain-free and excellent value for money but in my case, the recovery period was quite long before the swelling reduced. The advice I would give is to be well prepared for the post-operation situation.

I chose the surgeon, not the clinic. My choice was based on relevant experience, qualifications and client feedback. I found the explanation of what the process entailed plus answering the many questions I posed to be reassuring.

The pre and post-op meetings were in a clinic which was easy to find. The parking was good but the hospital where the operation took place was difficult to find and secure long-term parking was only found with the help of a local hotel. It is essential to plan ahead and wherever possible pre-book facilities.

Dr. Julio Matias is fantastic. I really liked that he explained everything he did and gave me lots of time before the treatment started to ask questions and explain the procedure and the different ways we could do this. It was a really good experience and the results are great.
