From the moment Mr West first introduced himself, he made me feel at ease. He was so well mannered, and explained the procedure, stating how long my operation would take, how long the average recover period would be, and what I would need to do post op. He showed me where the scars would be, and how long they would take to heal. He was very informative and answered any questions I asked.

Endorsements

I currently work with several Plastic Surgeons. I have worked with many in the past. Mr Chris West is amongst the best that I have ever worked with. With regard to abdominoplasty I particularly admire the way that he "scientifically" marks and measures the skin incisions in order to achieve the best cosmetic result. He has that rare abilty to visualise the best approach for every patient. I have no problem in recommending him.
