What types of plastic surgery do you offer in Bristol?

I offer a variety of plastic surgery services including breast reconstruction, tummy tucks, breast reduction, breast asymmetry correction and skin cancer surgery.

How do I choose the right plastic surgeon in Bristol?

Look for board-certified surgeons with experience in the specific procedure you are considering, and schedule consultations to discuss your options. In the UK that means checking the specialist register at the GMC which you can do easily at www.gmc-uk.org. Qualified plastic surgeons are on the specialist register for Plastic Surgery and many will also have additional qualifications in Cosmetic Surgery such as the Royal College of Surgeons Cosmetic Surgery Certification, both of which I hold.

What is the recovery time for a tummy tuck in Bristol?

Recovery time for a tummy tuck can vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 4 to 6 weeks. You should expect driving to be restricted for up to 6 weeks and no exercise for 6 weeks. Most people can return to work after 2-3 weeks for desk based activity whereas physical jobs may require longer time off work.

Are there any risks associated with plastic surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications. It's important to discuss these with your surgeon.

What should I expect during my consultation for plastic surgery?

During your consultation, you will discuss your goals, medical history, and the procedure details with your surgeon. I will discuss what is possible and give a recommendation for treatment.

Is financing available for plastic surgery in Bristol?

Yes, there are various financing options via the hospitals where I work to help make plastic surgery more accessible to our patients.

How can I prepare for my plastic surgery procedure?

Preparation may include medical evaluations, avoiding certain medications, and following pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. You will need some help at home after surgery and may need someone to stay with you if you live alone. You can buy some simple painkillers from your local pharmacy but you will also be provided with some medication when you are discharged from hospital. Read about the surgery you are having and make sure your questions have been adequately answered well before your surgery is due. I am always happy to go over any details we have discussed prior to a procedure.

What are the benefits of breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction can alleviate physical discomfort, improve posture, and enhance self-esteem by achieving a more proportionate body shape. Some patients suffer with infections and sore skin under the breasts which will be better after breast reduction surgery. You should also find it easier to get clothes that fit your frame and exercise will be more straightforward without causing pain.

Coronavirus Information

COVID-19 - Updated March 2022

The advice around coronavirus infection is changing all the time. Please follow the guidance you receive from the admitting hospital. If possible, please isolate or consider how you can significantly reduce your risk of getting COVID-19 around the time of your surgery. The reason for this is that we know you will be more unwell if you get COVID-19 and have recently had an operation. You should not have a general anaesthetic for 7 weeks after COVID-19 infection unless it is an emergency as we see more patients admitted to Intensive Care with breathing problems if they have surgery soon after an infection.
