As a plastic surgeon, it can be frustrating not to achieve the best possible outcome or result every time we operate. However, unfortunately (as some might view it) there is no uniformity to the results that can be achieved with plastic surgery procedures. There is no catalogue that a patient can choose a desired nose […]

There is a common misconception by many people I see in consultations that a round breast implant will produce a more artificial look, whereas an anatomical (teardrop) implant will look more natural. This is based on a combination of mis-information, but also the fact that a round implant on the office desk does not look […]

As a Plastic Surgeon we frequently see people who have lost a lot of weight and are left with redundant folds of skin in various areas of their bodies such as arms, tummy, legs and not to mention breasts. One of the challenges in this particular patient group that differentiates them is that their skin […]

As plastic surgeons, we often here comments to the effect that the grass is greener on the other side! Women with less developed breasts see us about breast enlargement, whilst women with large breasts come consult about reducing the size of their breasts. Large breasted women will often tell me that they can’t understand why anyone would want to […]

In each breast enlargement consultation, I ask every patient whether they are aiming for a “natural” result, or one that looks more augmented. Inevitably the majority ask for a natural look.

Whilst it is true that no woman ever has perfectly symmetrical breasts, different degrees of asymmetry may cause enough concern for a woman to seek further treatment. These asymmetries may be in terms of volume, with a larger breast on one side and a smaller breast on the other, a difference in droop to the […]

It really focuses on patient safety, quality of outcomes, patient feedback and overall performance as a clinician. With colleagues Naveen Cavale, Miles Berry and Nilesh Sojitra I was very […]

As a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with an interest in facial rejuvenation, I see a wide spectrum of people from the local area and from much further afield. Many have a clear idea of what bothers them, and what they would like addressed, but others are less specific. What is interesting, is that for some people […]

The significant majority of my patients have one thing in common, no matter whether they are seeing me about their face, their eyes, their, breasts or their body. What links them all is that their underlying reason for coming to see me is related to their confidence or self-esteem. Whether a result of the ageing […]

I am thrilled and honoured to have been nominated for the prestigious Safety in Beauty Diamond Awards, in the category of Plastic Surgeon of The Year. I am very grateful to whoever nominated me (and am very curious to know!) and feel privileged to be amongst other highly respected colleagues on the shortlist. Safety in […]

In my experience I can broadly divide my patients into two groups based on their expectations for any form of plastic surgery – from a facelift through to breast surgery or body contouring surgery. The first group (Group 1) have an understanding and appreciation of their starting point and how their face, breasts or body […]
