Breast Lift UK

I had breast surgery. This no-frills private hospital was not luxurious in decor in the private rooms, the blinds looked shabby and the walls were painted a nondescript cream. It was very hot as the room faced west and it was a hot summers day of 30c. Air conditioning in reception and theatre but not on the ward. The only food I was offered post op for an overnight stay was toast, I was not given a menu to make a choice, I asked if I could have ice cream told they do not stock it but was offered a yoghurt instead. Breakfast was again toast or cereal. The procedure went well and I cannot fault the medical or nursing team. I was checked on frequently and the care I received was first class. I do feel though that some attention should be paid to the decor on the wards, air conditioning for the wards, and improve the food on offer, as I felt the catering was worse than NHS provision. After all, it is a private hospital and I expected a little bit of luxury to be standard for the price I was paying for the procedure. The staff were polite yet friendly and professional. I was checked on regularly post op and when I rang for assistance help was quick in coming. However, I later found out there were only two overnight patients. The care I received was excellent, with staff washing hands before approaching and on leaving.

Wow-what an experience I have had with Mr Elgaward and his team! A wonderful one at that. For the last few years, I have been visiting Mr Elgaward after having breast surgery done by another surgeon in Manchester that did not go to plan and had left me in a real mess. I went to see Mr Elgaward after my first breast surgery with another surgeon and he said how upset he was with that the surgeon had done to me. How expensive it would be for me to correct the work that the surgeon has done and for me to go back where I had originally had it done for them to rectify. Rather than his own self-gain with pocketing money from me he suggested I went back to who did my surgery in the first instance. Sadly second time round with the same surgeon and my results only looked worse. Straight to Mr Elgaward, I went knowing I would not trust anyone else to perform surgery on me again! I was worried. I thought maybe surgery is just not for me! My body doesn’t handle it well or something. Mr Elgaward reassured me I would be fine in his care and I certainly have been. He was honest, sincere, kind and understanding throughout all my time in his care. I arrived for my surgery on Tuesday morning and within half an hour I had my pre-op and was ready for theatre. I was calm as I knew I was in the best hands possible! I awoke from my surgery after a few hours. Come 10:30 pm at night Mr Elgaward was still there visiting his patients checking upon them. How lovely! He must have been so tired after being at work for 7 am! I received a lovely bunch of flowers on day 3 post-op from Rachel and Mr Elgaward which were so beautiful and the card I shall keep. Thank you for everything you have all done for me. I am 4 days post-op now from a breast uplift, muscle repair, hernia repair lipo and tummy tuck. My breast implant and uplift I had on its own with the last surgeon was a million times worse than all of these surgeries put together. I have not been on any painkillers after my surgery with Mr Elgaward I am in slight discomfort but I imagined it to be a lot worse than it is. I can not stand 100% straight just yet but I gather soon I shall be. I am shouting from the rooftops for people to not think twice about surgery with Mr Elgaward and his team. If anyone can fix you it is he! I am so so happy I went to Mr Elgaward. I can’t wait to see my results in a few weeks time and finally be able to go swimming with my children. Thank goodness my loose skin has been put in the bin for good!! On a final note; Rachel his secretary has also been a lovely lady. Rachel seemed just as excited as me for my surgery with messaging me a count down of days I had left until it was finally my turn. She would respond to any queries really quickly and has been so caring. You have given me a life I only imagined I would have! I can’t wait to see my before and after pictures and share them with you all.

My first experience of the treatment I received. Wood MediSpa, South Tawton, Devon is set in beautiful grounds and a magnificent building. From the minute you arrive you are made to feel at ease. Reception staff and the nurse involved were both very friendly and welcoming. Dr Toby Nelson carried out cryotherapy. He explained in detail what would happen and checked that I understood and was happy for him to proceed. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout my visit and certainly felt it was good value. I would recommend Wood MediSpa and Dr Nelson to people.

This clinic had the friendliest staff out of all the places I tried. I had my otoplasty procedure done here. I’m not quite finished yet; there are still some stitches that need to be removed. It could take another week or three. I’m not entirely satisfied with the outcome right now, but I’ll discuss this with the doctor at the next appointment. I’d been waiting a long time to get this work done and it’s a relief that it’s finally over. I had to wear a bandage so I don’t know how long the swelling took to subside. Before I left the hospital, they gave me some painkillers. I’m not sure if there’s a scar because the work was done behind my ears. We’ll evaluate this at the follow-up. Every clinic charged about the same. Downtime was about a week.
