After body contouring surgery such as breast re-shaping, a tummy tuck, gynaecomastia correction and liposuction, we utilise post-operative compression garments to give support and help with swelling. The reason for the garment is to aid your recovery and to make you feel more comfortable. There is often swelling following body contouring and when the tissues swell it […]
It is a very common question for us to get from prospective patients ‘what is the cost of mole removal?‘. I think if I was having a mole removed this is a question that I would ask and this is often the only question paying patients ask. I think this is because it is hard […]
It is in the news again about the need to protect patients from unscrupulous practitioners who may prey on the vulnerable and perform unnecessary cosmetic procedures on patients who may have an underlying psychological or mental health problem. The concept of this is welcomed by our specialty and has always been welcome, but it is […]
I’ve been looking at the non-surgical liposculpture market for about 5 years now and I have really been trying to answer the question ‘Does Fat freezing work?’. The concept is great.

Because the […]

However, when it comes to skin cancer, it can cover a range of different types of cancer from the relatively mild form which can be cured by minor surgery, […]
