We work closely with patients, surgeons, dentists, and healthcare professionals across the UK to provide solutions that are as precise as they are empathetic.
We specialise in bespoke body and facial prosthetics, including dental appliances and 3D printing.

We are dedicated to person-centred, aesthetically excellent, and clinically sound prosthetic solutions that transform lives.
Your journey is our priority!

Our journey began in 2021, when our founder, Anna Veli-Chasen, turned a lifelong dream into reality. Driven by a passion for bespoke facial and body prosthetics and advanced prosthetic rehabilitation, she set out to create something different. Since then, Engreco Healthcare has continued to grow, innovate and redefine what is possible in personalised prosthetic care.
Explore our milestones below and discover the story behind our journey.
A Dream Becomes Reality!
On 14 December 2021, our story began with a birthday present, a second-hand 3D printer, and a dream five years in the making. What started in the loft of a two-bedroom flat in Portsmouth, UK, was only the beginning of Veli Group. Founded by Anna Veli-Chasen, our vision has always been to bring together science, technology, creativity, and compassionate patient care.
With a background in dental technology and maxillofacial prosthetics, Anna wanted to create something of her own: a place where specialist knowledge and meticulous craftsmanship could make a meaningful difference to people's lives. It was a small beginning, built on personal savings and determination, but behind it stood a much bigger ambition: to rethink what bespoke facial and body prosthetics could be and to help people regain confidence, dignity and a sense of themselves.
New Home, New Name, New Beginning.
After seven months of negotiations, back-and-forth conversations and uncertainty, in January 2025 we secured a new lease in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. While continuing to work full-time for the NHS, Anna spent weekends transforming the space into a specialist prosthetics clinic, sourcing second-hand equipment and investing her savings into every detail.
We also embraced a new identity. Engreco Healthcare was born from the union of our English (Eng) and Greek (Greco) heritage. A name that celebrates not only where we come from, but also the ideas, partnership, and hard work building this business.
In November 2025, Anna’s dedication and expertise were recognised nationally when she was named "Dental Technician of the Year" at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025. From a small loft workspace to an independent specialist clinic, those first years proved that a dream, backed by persistence and purpose, can become something extraordinary.
Five Years of Engreco, And Still Growing...
December 2026 marks five years since the beginning of our journey. Five years of learning, creating, overcoming challenges, and turning ambitious ideas into meaningful work. What began with one person and a belief in doing things differently is growing into a specialist healthcare business with its first employee, and new partnerships across the UK and beyond.
Today, Engreco Healthcare brings together bespoke facial and body prosthetics, dental and maxillofacial expertise, advanced digital workflows, and hands-on craftsmanship, always keeping the individual behind every prosthesis at the heart of what we do.
Growth is about building a team that shares our values, collaborating with healthcare professionals, supporting patients through personal journeys and continuing to explore what is possible. Five years on, our original dream remains the foundation of everything we do. With more people to help, more ideas to develop, and a future we are only just beginning to shape.
If you are missing a part of your face or body, there are several options available to help restore both appearance and function. The most suitable approach will depend on your individual situation and the reason for your facial or body difference. Options may include:
Your treatment plan is fully personalised based on anatomy, lifestyle, and clinical needs, and the options are typically discussed during your consultation with your surgical and prosthetic team before the operation, allowing you to make an informed decision. However, if this discussion didn’t take place or if you still have questions about the prosthetic rehabilitation, our team will take the time to review your case, explore all available options, and support you in finding the solution that best suits your needs.

Prosthetics and surgical reconstruction serve different purposes:
Prosthetics are often preferred when:
Both options may also be combined in complex cases.
Silicone prosthetics are custom-made medical devices designed to replace missing facial or body parts such as ears, noses, fingers, nipples, or other anatomical structures. They are created using medical-grade silicone, which closely mimics the texture, translucency, and movement of natural skin.
They work by being securely retained in place using:
These prosthetics restore appearance, symmetry, and confidence without invasive surgery, making them a leading solution in modern prosthetic rehabilitation in the UK.

Modern prosthetics are designed to achieve the highest possible level of realism through advanced silicone artistry, colour science, and meticulous hand-finishing techniques. While a prosthesis can closely replicate the appearance of natural tissue, it is important to understand that it remains a medical reconstruction rather than living biological material. Because of this, subtle differences may sometimes be visible on close inspection, and long-term wear may gradually affect surface colour or texture over time.
Despite these natural limitations, today’s silicone prosthetics are individually handcrafted and expertly colour-matched to each person’s unique skin tone. Specialist techniques allow for highly detailed replication of skin characteristics, including:
When created by experienced prosthetic clinicians, facial and body prostheses are typically highly realistic and discreet in everyday life. In most social and conversational settings, they are generally unnoticeable, helping patients feel more confident, comfortable, and at ease in both personal and professional environments.

The best maxillofacial prosthetist is ultimately determined by you - the patient. It’s about who you feel most comfortable and confident with to deliver the results you need. There’s no universal “best,” as this depends on factors like aesthetic outcome, treatment style, communication, and clinical skill.
In the UK, maxillofacial prosthetists are regulated by the General Dental Council (GDC), the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and the Institute of Maxillofacial Prosthetists and Technologists (IMPT). These bodies uphold high standards and maintain registers of qualified professionals. Some practitioners also earn accredited fellowships, recognising advanced expertise and excellence in the field.
At Engreco Healthcare, our team includes highly qualified professionals registered with all three governing bodies. We combine clinical precision, artistic skill, and compassionate care to deliver outcomes you can trust. Check the professional bodies we are a registered member of.
