From the moment I met Mr Blackburn I was made to feel as though he had a genuine interest in me as a person. I had an implant removal and uplift and each option that was available to me was carefully explained with the pros and cons being discussed too. The results of my surgery are amazing. They really are a work of art. I would choose Mr Blackburn over and again.

Mr Blackburn was amazing, caring and professional. He really cared about patient outcomes and was with me every step of the way on my reconstruction. I am absolutely delighted with the results. A natural looking breast after single mastectomy and it perfectly matches the other one in shape and feel. Incredibly talented surgeon and a very kind humane man whether working on the NHS or privately. I would recommend him very highly, and I am hugely grateful to him.

From start to finish i cannot praise Dr Adam Blackburn enough, i cannot describe how much he has changed my life and it is something i will forever be grateful for. From my first consultation to all the after care he was so professional, kind, attentive, informative and understanding. It is such a big operation and decision to make and finding and choosing Dr Blackburn made it the best experience ever, i would do it all again in a heart beat. I have recommended him to everyone and think he is amazing

I knew when I first met Mr Blackburn that this would be the person I wanted to carry out my breast reduction surgery. Not only was he caring and actually interested in my case, Mr Blackburn made me feel that I could trust him. Each step of the way, I have felt informed and that all of my needs and requirements were listened to. I have felt safe at all times, including when I developed a hematoma and required further surgery. The surgery itself has been life changing and I honestly cannot thank Mr Blackburn and the team at the Mcindoe centre enough. I would highly recommend Me Blackburn to anyone considering a breast reduction surgery!

Mr. Blackburn treated me as a person first and then a patient. He was caring and careful when he spoke to me and took time to give me the detailed information that I needed to feel fully informed about the procedures that were being suggested to treat my existing cancer and subsequent BRCA1 diagnosis. Mr. Blackburn took time to understand the wider picture of my overall health and this gave me the reassurance I needed to trust in his care at a time when I felt I had little agency in my life.

Mr Blackburn really made me feel at ease throughout the whole process, he really does have his patients best interests at heart and I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

Fantastic experience and outcome. Mr Blackburn put me at ease, gave me all the information and time I needed. I felt very well cared for.

When I met Mr Blackburn for the first time he was empathetic and reassuring, plus more importantly he was able to diagnose my problem immediately. My surgical scar (which is on my face) is healing very well under his professional supervision and advice.

Adam is a superbly caring and talented plastic surgeon who specialises in all aspects of breast cosmetic surgery. Adam and his team deliver an exemplary service to women undergoing immediate and delayed breast reconstruction using one's own tissues from the lower abdomen (DIEP flap) and upper thigh (Longitudinal upper gracilis /LUG flap).
