Cosmetic surgery can be truly life-changing

We need more positive news stories.

You may have seen our patient featured in The Sun, The Mirror, The Daily Star and The Mail last week.

She lost a significant amount of weight (8 stone) and had lost shape and volume in her breasts. It is a great story as she is due to be married and has worked so hard to regain her body shape. It is heartening to see stories like this in the media, as in this day and age, plastic surgery will often get negative press. I specialise in breast and body contouring and the vast majority of patients that I see want a natural result that is in proportion with their frame.

Cosmetic surgery is about making people look and feel better

Plastic surgery is about restoring form and function and cosmetic surgery is about enhancing and improving on this. It is not about overdoing it, whether it be breast implants or lip fillers. The media is full of stories of strange looking people who have overdone plastic surgery, but this is a very small minority and something that I hardly ever see.

My waiting room is full of normal people like you

The waiting room in my clinics in Edgbaston and Harley Street are full of mums who have lost volume in their breasts following breast feeding or have redundant skin on their tummy which will not tighten, no matter how much exercise they do. Or people like Chantelle, who have lost weight and they feel deflated and want their shape restored.

Thank you Chantelle, we need more positive role models

Cosmetic surgery can be truly life-changing, yet so many people carry guilt and feel that they are putting themselves through unnecessary surgery. We need more positive role models like Chantelle to show the world that plastic surgery is for normal people who want to restore their self-esteem and their confidence and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Thank you, Chantelle, for sharing your story and good luck with the wedding! I look forward to seeing you soon for your follow up appointment.
