Photo from https://www.instagram.com/samsmith/ I love seeing posts like the one Sam Smith recently posted on Instagram showing him standing topless on a beach. The standard Instagram photo of a man topless on a beach show him with a chiselled six-pack and rock-hard pecs, but this simply is not what normal male chests look like. Sam Smith […]
Cancer is a very emotive word and when people hear the diagnosis of cancer they understandably will conjure images of prolonged unpleasant treatment and poor prognosis. 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, […]
I was invited to a talk on the radio this morning about scar management following a story of a football supporter who had been attacked and had sustained a long laceration to his cheek. The conversation revolved around the scarring and the emotional impact of scars and what can be done about it. I am […]
We have just been planning how we would like to move forward with the STAIANO Clinic in 2019 and one of my big goals is to create a community for our patients where you really feel like you are being listened to and looked after. This is something I have always tried to do and […]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Christmas is a popular time of year for surgery and you might think that odd because you do not really want to be heaving the turkey in and out of the oven whilst loosening your support bra or clutching your abdominal binder. I can understand the appeal because it […]
It is often a great source of mystery to patients as to what happens to their belly button when they have a tummy tuck. They often think it gets moved or a new one is made. In fact, just before we published this blog post, someone asked this question on one of my Facebook Live […]
There has just been a Panorama documentary on about the ‘scandal around breast implants‘. This is obviously of great interest to us because we specialise in cosmetic breast surgery and use a lot of breast implants. I certainly do not want to appear that I am trying to play down any adverse reports or cover […]
