I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a breast uplift operation (mastopexy) performed by Dr. Lisa, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Lisa displayed an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise. She took the time to understand my needs and provided clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process. She was transparent about every detail and I didn’t feel pushed to make a decision which is something I experienced with other Drs. The surgery itself was seamless, and I felt supported every step of the way. Dr. Lisa transformed my concerns into confidence, achieving results that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and artistry in her work is truly commendable. Recovery was smooth, thanks to Dr. Lisa's thorough aftercare instructions and the follow-up appointments that ensured everything was healing properly. I now feel rejuvenated and more comfortable in my own skin. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa to anyone considering a breast uplift—it's a decision I will never regret!

I am 12 months post tummy tuck and breast implant surgery with Lisa. At the time of surgery my children were 14 and 8. Following the birth of my children, my tummy was left stretched and saggy and breasts, deflated and empty. I have spent all of these years hiding, covered and unable to look in the mirror. I exercised, dieted, and spent so much money on creams and body treatments but the reality was that no amount of this would help in any way. I felt so incredibly low and resided myself to the fact that I would always look and feel that way. I went on like this for 14 years until I decided it was time to finally do something about my body and after so much research I found Lisa. The whole process from my initial consultation to now has felt like a dream, I cannot believe that when I look in the mirror the reflection is me. I am beyond happy with my results, I finally feel like me again, I feel normal. For the first time since having my first child, I have worn a bikini and felt and looked incredible. I cannot thank Lisa enough for turning my dreams into a reality. Lisa is truly exceptional. Her attention to detail and dedication to her work are unmatched. From the moment I met Lisa, I felt heard and understood. Lisa’s ability to listen to my concerns and work with me to achieve results that exceeded my expectations is truly incredible. I highly recommend Lisa for anyone seeking a skilled surgeon with a compassionate approach.

I came to see Lisa in 2016 at the age of 18, having never developed any breast tissue and being incredibly self-conscious about this. Prior to booking my appointment, I had sought help from the NHS regarding this issue and was advised that surgery was my only option. Unfortunately, my application to receive this surgery via the NHS was rejected. Despite this disappointment at the time, I am incredibly grateful now, as I was fortunate enough to meet the wonderful Lisa and Liana. My father, who is a GP, discovered Lisa through glowing recommendations from his professional colleagues, naturally seeking the best possible care for his daughter. I can certainly say that we found it. My initial consultation with Lisa involved a thorough examination of my medical history. We discussed in detail the process of my surgery and recovery, as well as the expected outcome, including various implant options. In addition to surgery details, Lisa shared valuable insight into my PCOS condition and how to manage it. These learnings have been incredibly helpful and will stay with me for life. Being so young when seeking treatment, I was perhaps more nervous than most about undergoing surgery. However, Lisa's kindness, care, understanding, attentiveness, and expertise completely put my (and my parents'!) minds at ease. I will forever be grateful to Lisa not only for this, but also for achieving the natural look I desired, which immensely boosted my confidence and helped me discover what it truly means to feel like a woman. I can genuinely say that Lisa changed my life. Before my operation, I...

I had a vertical breast reduction 3 weeks ago J cup to DD and I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams how much of a positive difference this would make both emotionally and physically - I am absolutely thrilled with the result. My self confidence has improved, as has as my posture. I can now look in a mirror and feel positive about myself. I cannot believe that after such a short time the numbness and pain in my neck and shoulder, which I had for years, is no longer there. Lisa and Liana have been excellent from the start of the process through to follow ups post op. I would highly recommend, Lisa did such an amazing thing for me.

My experience with Lisa was wonderful. She was professional & caring. I felt calm, relaxed and reassured throughout. She sympathised with my situation and took time to understand the reasons for my surgery. She explained honestly the risks, discussed my exceptions and recovery before agreeing to go ahead. I felt the consultation prior was personalised which was important to me. Whilst in hospital she kept me informed and talked me through each step. I am really pleased with my results. She gave me lots of helpful advice about my recovery and the follow up care has been fantastic! Have already recommended friends to Lisa & her superb team!

I am a 38 year old mum to 3 children. My second pregnancy with twins left me with a significant abdominal muscle divarification and excess skin on my tummy. The bulging tummy and excess skin meant I just didn’t feel like myself and had plenty of health niggles as a result of such poor abdominal muscle function - lower back ache, hip pain, poor bowel function. I am now 12 weeks post tummy tuck and abdominal muscle plication surgery and am so pleased with the result. The improvement to my bodily function is amazing (with all the niggles resolved) including some unexpected positives as a result of better vagina positioning as I no longer have a tilt to my pelvis. And I feel like I look like myself again with a lovely flat tummy. The scar and belly button still needs time to heal fully but is already looking good. And I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! Lisa is amazing as a surgeon but also the best person you could ever wish for to support you through the process from start to finish. It is incredible value for money and well worth the discomfort as I am so pleased with the result. Thank you Lisa!

My first breast surgery and uplift with Lisa was 18 years ago. I was absolutely terrified so much so that Lisa delayed the surgery for 2 weeks until I had fully accepted the procedure. I was so scared of awful scarring and I can honestly say that within 6 months I would have been happy going topless…. If I’d wanted to. She is an absolute seamstress with regards to stitching and she is also the most incredibly kind and reassuring person you will ever meet. I don’t have enough space to tell every good thing about Lisa however suffice to say I have had breast surgery 18 years ago, a blepharoplasty 6 years ago and recent breast surgery due to 17 years of implants and inevitable incapsulation. My expectations this time were lower given I am now 55 however the result is as good as it was the first time! A wonderful result. Again minimal scarring from the uplift and exceptional healing. When my 28 year old daughter wanted her breasts enlarged I was insistent she only came to Lisa. I would have been so worried about anyone else carrying out her surgery and I had absolute confidence in Lisa. You will not, without question, find another surgeon who offers 10 years of follow ups which she does with pleasure it feels. She gets to know you and your family and makes you feel like part of her clinical ‘family’. She has the most amazing team in Liana and the excellent anaesthetist and nurses she operates with. You could not be in better hands ! I have no hesitation in highly recommending Lisa and her team.

30 years old, Vertical breast reduction with Lisa Sacks, H cup to D/DD - 2.2kg removed! I’ve always been self conscious about my breasts since I was 16 and due to this and various other experiences I’ve had very low self confidence all of my adult life. The back, neck and should pain I experienced could be debilitating. I was always hunched from the weight and tried to slouch to hide them. I never liked myself in clothes, would normally return 90% if what I bought and anything I wore I was always covered up. The worst was someone talking about my breasts, being sexually objectified, being stared at or yelled at in the street. I hated that having big breasts was my identity and it affected every part of my life. Breast reduction surgery is something I heard about 5/6 years ago and researched at the time however due to cost I put to the back of mind to hopefully to be able to fund one day but was just so unhappy. Fast forward to a year ago I decided to this year when I finally able to fund this operation. I met with Lisa in February 2023 (via zoom) for an initial consultation for a vertical breast reduction. I had found Lisa when I was living in Somerset as a local surgeon in Bristol and was very interested in the fact she only performed vertical breast reductions when the anchor method was the only one I’d seen. Since I’ve had issues with keloid scarring I decided to put her on my list of surgeons I wanted to meet with. I also met with another surgeon who did the anchor scaring but decided Lisa was the surgeon for me. I liked Lisa anyway but due to the fact if I did have kel...
