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.

Most people can return to work after 2-3 weeks for desk based activity whereas physical jobs may require longer time off work.

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.

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.

Breast reduction can alleviate physical discomfort, improve posture, and enhance self-esteem by achieving a more proportionate body shape.
