I felt very comfortable and reassured.

5 days post mastopexy and implant exchange review. With the amazing Simon Smith (both times) May 2017 - Under muscle 550cc Harley Medical Group To April 2024 - Under muscle 725cc Springfield Hospital Uplift with donut scars (he is amazing!) Recovery has been incredible. Was down in OR at 0930, out in recovery by 1230, my room by 1330 starving hungry inhaling the most amazing tasting sandwich.. home by 1700h. I had Niven as my anaesthetist this time (Hywell in 2017) who was so lovely, and the most amazing cocktail of drugs. The hospital was wonderful, and even better than the previous. The nurses were funny, kind and caring, and I met Sheena who was also wonderful. Not felt any pain at all, kept topped up on ibuprofen and paracetamol for day 2&3, just forgot how annoying post op anaesthetic bloat is..! Day 1 post op (Friday) had a shower and felt amazing, managed to get a proper look at them and removed the gauze, keeping the bra and binder on for 3 days, but felt even better once that was off. I can feel my nipples, and the lower breast area where the other scars are. There is the most minimal bruising, and obviously under the waterproof dressings there is some marker and blood hence the colour in the photos. I am so so so happy, and really glad Simon was able to go bigger and change the huge gap I had in the middle. I had my last BA in 2017 weighing around 12/13 stone, I then had a 360 body lift & arm lift in 2020, and I’ve got down to 9st2lb so my ribcage was prominent with a huge gap between. Now the pockets have been brought in they are even better. Can’t wait till they fluff!!! 🥰 #teamsimon

From the moment one discovers Jonathan (mine was from online research where many routes triangulated to him) I believe one feels in safe and superbly reassuring hands!. I felt Jonathan's interest in my concern was genuine, listening with concern and empathy whilst applying his clearly vast plastic surgery experience to understand the treatment protocols that would work best for me. The result of our initial consultation discussions meant I came away with a real anatomical understanding of the root causes of my concern along with a full explanation of the prescribed procedure and how/why it would work. This left me feeling there was a way forward and I was in the hands of someone who spent a lifetime perfecting his craft and I could relax in that knowledge. The post consultation follow up with reading materials and access to both Jonathan and his team put me at ease in readiness for my surgery with all the responses to my questions clearly thought through and patiently explained. I could also then clearly plan my work/personal diary around the treatment and recovery plan. This proved to be spot in hindsight! I have to admit that having had general anaesthesia before I was actually more confident in using this protocol for any surgery but when Jonathan explained why his clinic uses twilight anaesthesia for my treatment type (where you are at least aware of your surrounding vs being fully 'knocked out') I was happy to explore further and see if i could get ultimately confident with this approach as it of course feels different. Jonathan and his team encouraged me to read other's reviews and I chatted to a patient for their direct review. I was also reassured by the fact that Jonathan and his anaesthetist have conducted hundreds of operations using twilight and I thought to myself, had there ever been issues with this approach to an elective surgery he would indeed never use it! I am happy to inform that twilight anaesthesia really is as good as general anaesthetic - I think for this type of procedure it is perhaps better. The only notion of pain is the initial pin prick in the hand at 1/10 (which occurs for any type of surgery) and then I found myself in a completely blissed-out state not really conscious of what was going on. In addition, of course there is local nerve block anaesthesia applied all around the treatment areas so there is no sensation whatsoever of pain coupled with my mind being completely 'floating' and relaxed. The true advantage of twilight became even more apparent after the procedure as I came to very quickly, fully lucid and able to eat food within 20 minutes! Unlike general anaesthetic, i had no horrid sore throat and sick/nausea feeling for several hours after. Within an hour or so I was ready to be discharged and my head was clear for the recovery process. It was also explained by Jonathan that using twilight would aid recovery as it is less taxing on the system and allows for more of the body's resources to be channelled to the healing process. I am now four weeks into recovery and can go about my life fully (and have been able to for some days!). It has been reassuring that the team are proactive in setting up periodic consults with Jonathan to review progress at key landmark points and again I had the feeling of being in caring and highly professional hands by someone who wants the best outcomes technically and emotionally for his patients. Of course there is some residual redness and swelling but this again was explained, is expected and I know will fully subside in the coming weeks. I look forward to seeing the final results and have no doubt based on what I can see so far they will be fully natural, enhancing and refreshing me in the most natural way with any evidence of work inconspicuous!

It is a year since my surgery, the only negative comment I can make is that I am sorry I did not go through with surgery sooner. I had researched the procedure for 3 years before making my decision. I thought if I could lose more weight my breasts would reduce, in fact they just grew larger. I also suffered with neck and back pain, more so over the past 5 years. Once I had found a surgeon, I thought I would be comfortable with, I made an appointment Ms Zweifel. From the first consultation I was confident I was doing the right thing for myself. I was not worried about the surgery, more so if it the result did not meet my expectations. I was also overthinking the procedure being classed as cosmetic surgery. After discussing this with Ms Zweifel I was reassured that the surgery would help with my posture, back pain and even more important my self-esteem, no longer embarrassed about the size of my breast. After Surgery I felt well, I spent 1 night in hospital. Once the drains were removed, I was allowed home. I took 2 weeks off work to rest and make sure my wounds could heel. I had an allergic reaction to the wound tape (glue) I was given antibiotics and had the tape removed as an outpatient. (This is an uncommon side effect) My wounds heeled quickly after this, after 6 months I started to wear non wired bras again fitted by Marks and Spencer. My Scars are amazing, the underneath scar you can-not see. The line going up towards the nipple is noticeable but very neat. My nipples were not affected in the slightest, I have sensation, smaller areolas pert and no viable scars!! My breast are symmetrical, I have reduced by 3 cup sizes. The results are perfect for my frame. Only last week I had my photo taken on a night out, in the past I would recoil at the size of my breasts in the picture, this time I commented on how good I looked I love that I can see me now and not my oversized breast. I would recommend Ms Zweifel to anyone considering this procedure, all cots are explained, not hidden charges. I paid one price which covered outpatient appointments when I had the allergic reaction, and as many consultations afterwards until discharged. Ms Zweifel is knowledgeable, reassuring, non-judgemental and an expert surgeon. I want to pass on my gratitude once again for giving me a new lease of life

Because of her professionalism and expertise in facial reconstruction, I had the confidence to proceed with my upper and lower blepharoplasty. The result has been amazing.

I found Professor Miranda kind, gentle and patient. He took the time to fully explain the blepharoplasty procedure and the likely results. I have to say that I’m delighted; the result is a remarkable improvement, but very subtle. My scars are very fine and hidden in my natural eyelid crease. Before surgery one of my eyelids was noticeably ‘heavier’ than the other, but now they are the same. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Miranda.

Mr Iwuagwu has been fabulous! Would recommend!

Mr Davis was fantastic, he was very respectful and honest. He was able to give me treatment and work around my work schedule
