Plastic Surgery Clinics England

Wow, what a 1st visit to this beautiful clinic, where you are greeted by the friendly reception team and made to feel welcome, as for Dr Raj he is a gentleman and is very honest and informative regarding treatments. There is no pressure to go ahead with treatments, I only wish I had found this clinic earlier I cannot wait to go back and have treatment (neo gen ). Thank you for your candid, honest, and friendly approach.

30 years old, Vertical breast reduction with Lisa Sacks, H cup to D/DD - 2.2kg removed! I’ve always been self conscious about my breasts since I was 16 and due to this and various other experiences I’ve had very low self-confidence all of my adult life. The back, neck and should pain I experienced could be debilitating. I was always hunched from the weight and tried to slouch to hide them. I never liked myself in clothes, would normally return 90% if what I bought and anything I wore I was always covered up. The worst was someone talking about my breasts, being sexually objectified, being stared at or yelled at in the street. I hated that having big breasts was my identity and it affected every part of my life. Breast reduction surgery is something I heard about 5/6 years ago and researched at the time however due to cost I put to the back of mind to hopefully to be able to fund one day but was just so unhappy. Fast forward to a year ago I was finally able to fund this operation. I met with Lisa in February 2023 (via zoom) for an initial consultation for a vertical breast reduction. I had found Lisa when I was living in Somerset as a local surgeon in Bristol and was very interested in the fact she only performed vertical breast reductions when the anchor method was the only one I’d seen. Since I’ve had issues with keloid scarring I decided to put her on my list of surgeons I wanted to meet with. I also met with another surgeon who did the anchor scaring but decided Lisa was the surgeon for me. I liked Lisa anyway but due to the fact if I did have keloid scaring then at least it would be less than the anchor - I always said I would definitely have the operation even if I was told I would be guaranteed keloid scaring due to the affect my breasts were having on my life. I’d seen reviews from other clients and also searched for experiences on a Facebook group for breast reductions, I didn’t read a bad thing about Lisa from my research. After considering my options I booked in my operation with Lisa for August 2023 - around 6 months in advance. Lisa put me into contact with 2 patients, I was most interested to hear why they decided to go for the vertical. It was also nice to talk to someone who had the same experiences as I did. Like always bumping into things with their breasts and wearing bras with broken wires to avoid bra shopping. The morning of my operation Lisa came in to draw on me and then I was second in the theatre. I’ve had operations before and I always found walking to the theatre and waiting to be put asleep the worst bit of the operation. However Lisa and her team made me feel very at ease and I wasn’t anxious at all waiting to go asleep. As soon as I woke up I was so desperate to see myself! I could barely keep my eyes open in the recovery room and I kept saying to the nurse how small I felt I was! When I got back to my room I was very insistent on putting on my top to see how small I was. I don’t think I’d ever been happier/more relieved in my life that this was now how I looked and cried happy tears! Lisa saw me later that afternoon and then the next day. She fitted my post surgery bra on (I cried again!) before I went home and I’ve never been more comfortable in a bra since in my entire life. Lisa gave me a detailed list of what I could and couldn’t do for the next 2/6 weeks and then 3/6 months. The Nuffield is a wonderful hospital to stay in. The food was amazing and the staff and nurses were great. I felt very well taken care of during my time there. When I went home I only took the pain medication for the first couple of days after the surgery and due to stomach cramps I decided to not take the pain meds one night and thought I’d see how I went, after that I only felt discomfort when I pushed my self too much from putting on my stockings for example due to the swelling underneath my breasts. I actually found this better so I could listen to my body and didn’t have any pain in general. Even when I came out of surgery I didn’t really feel much pain. I had full movement of my arms which I was surprised as when you have the anchor you can’t lift you arms up for couple of weeks. I went out for short slow walks a couple of times a day and felt this helped, it was nice to move around and obviously helps to prevent blood clots. My family said after a few days when I started trying on my clothes, not only how much smaller I was but how much taller I looked. The hardest part of this surgery was the first 2 weeks of recovery. I’m an independent person, I have 2 dogs and was used to walking 2-3 hours a day. So having to rely on someone to do everything and not being able to walk my dogs I struggled with. Once I hit the 2 week mark I was so glad to be able to get out more with my dogs even if I was limited, and then once again when I hit the 6 week mark it felt good to be able to walk further and be back to normal with my routine. The first walk I did once I hit the 6 week mark was partly up a steep hill. When I did this pre surgery I was in so much pain afterwards - my back, shoulders and neck hurt. When I did this after my surgery, I didn’t have any of that pain! It felt so good to do simple exercise and to not be in pain. I’ve had post op appointments with Lisa at 2 weeks in person to change my dressings (this was painless which was surprisingly). However my breasts were sore for a few days after which I think was just from my breasts being secure in the bandage to just now being in the tape and adjusting. My next appointments were by zoom at 6 weeks and 3 months. We reviewed the photos I took and I couldn’t believe the difference when Lisa compared the photos. I have a scar on my stomach that my old bra band used to sit at - now my bra band probably sits 10 cm above that! Lisa is very happy with how I’m recovering and I am very happy I’m done this operation. I’ve had no complications and my wounds healed quickly. I would say the main pros of the vertical (from reading other people’s experiences) compared to the anchor is the lack of pain, and the movement of my arms immediately post op. Plus with less incisions there is less scarring - I’d seen so many people have complications with healing after the anchor. The cons of the vertical is that the breast shape is more pointed/triangular initially however this changes quickly, and once you have your bra and clothes on, no one could tell anyway. There is also swelling underneath the breast that is sore, but again this goes down dramatically in the first 2 weeks. I took 2 weeks off work (I told my work I may take 3 as Lisa offers to sign you off for that long). I have a desk job and work from home mostly. I could have gone back to work earlier if I really needed to however decided to take the time to ensure I was ready and healed. How has this operation changed my life? I feel like I can finally live my life without my lack of confidence holding me back. I’ve said to Lisa I feel now this is how my body should have always been proportion-wise. My breasts are no longer an issue, I don’t think about them anymore. I don’t think people are staring at me, my breasts are not my identity anymore. Pre-surgery feels like a former life. I’m forever grateful for Lisa for doing this operation and changing my life for the better. You can tell Lisa really cares not only about her work, but her patients too.

The whole experience from first consultation to follow up after the procedure was well thought out and professional, I felt very comfortable with Dr Vadodaria and he made me feel at ease also all the staff at the clinic were very kind and caring. I was very pleased with the outcome of my surgery it looks natural and I look refreshed, I recommend Dr Vadodaria.

Excellent service and results. Also, very friendly and polite staff. I enjoyed my experience and definitely highly recommend.

Dr Sidiqqui has given me a whole new life. He is the most wonderful surgeon. From the moment I walked into his office, he put my mind at ease. He has been in contact and explained every step of the way. The surgery went so smoothly. Dr Siddiqui visited before and after surgery and has been in direct regular contact ever since. My scars are healing beautifully and are very neat. I would recommend Dr Siddiqui to anyone wanting surgery. My whole experience has been second to none. (Abdominoplasty, muscle repair, liposuction)

Great clinic, I highly recommend. I enquired about getting a mole removed form my face which I have been concerned about for a long time, my GP told me it was cosmetic and to seek a private clinic. I was asked if I was comfortable to send a photo, which I did. Got a price and availability back within the same day, and was booked at the end of the week. Very friendly staff and doctors, I had a consultation with the doctor who went through everything beforehand, procedure took roughly 20 minutes. Was given full aftercare and a follow-up call the next day. Thank you Thornhill Team, AMAZING!!

I have been going to Asher for Treatment for Wrinkles for years and I can’t recommend him and his practice highly enough. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! The practice is friendly, professional, helpful and beautifully clean. If you want a cosmetic treatment then Asher is your man!

I had Labiaplasty 2 weeks ago at Oakdin Clinic and I'm very happy with my results. The procedure was daunting but the nurse was extremely good at calming my nerves. The doctor goes through everything and is very clear, would recommend them. The only thing I wish they offered was a one week or 10-day check up perhaps. 4-5 days after my operation I had a few concerns due to swelling and I would have benefited/perhaps felt better if I had received a follow-up appointment. However, on the other hand, I did have Dr Masood's number, I was able to contact him and he did clear up the worries I had. I'm very happy altogether and it was of very good value. It's a really small intimate clinic which is nice and extremely clean. Everyone is very lovely and sweet, they not intimidating at all. Nurse and receptionists very chatty too. All in all, it is all very good.

Mr Mahajan has a very professional yet personable approach and a reassuring atmosphere during the consultation. He took the time to understand my reasons for the procedure and the positive impact it would have. On the day itself, his calm and pleasant manner where once again, very reassuring. His skill is exemplary and I am overjoyed with the results. I do not hesitate to give him the very highest recommendation.
