I had a breast reduction. From consultation until I was discharged 5 weeks post op, the team have been fantastic. I had a few general queries post op and had to make a few calls to clear up questions, the nurses were always able to take my call and answer any questions. I was given a lot of clear info on the procedure during my consultation and it really put me at ease as to what to expect. I am more than pleased with the results!

After consultations with a few different surgeons, I knew from my first appointment that Dr Hodgins was the right choice for me. He really understood the results I wanted to achieve and made me feel confident that my goals were realistic and straightforward to achieve. I returned for a second consultation because I was unsure about implant sizing. In the end, I decided to trust Dr Hodgins’ advice, and I’m so glad I did. The size he recommended is perfect, and I am 100% satisfied with my results. The entire procedure was incredibly straightforward, and I was genuinely shocked to experience no pain whatsoever. Every member of the medical team was friendly, professional, and confident, which immediately put me at ease throughout the whole process. As a mum of three, I was particularly concerned about recovery and getting back to everyday life. However, I was able to return to my normal routine within just a few days. I never experienced any pain, never needed to take pain medication, and my results are exactly what I had asked for. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Dr Hodgins and his team to anyone considering breast augmentation

I recently had breast augmentation with Mr Hodgins and I couldn't be happier with my results. Mr Hodgins listened to everything that I wanted to achieve and gave me lots of advice and helped me pick the perfect size for frame which I'm so happy with and the natural look that I hoped for. Mr Hodgins was very friendly and professional from I first met him at the consultation and explained everything thoroughly. My recovery was a lot easier than I ever expected and I have healed so well. I was very nervous on the day of surgery but Mr Hodgins and all the team put me at ease and where so friendly and professional. I am so glad that I went ahead with my surgery and am so happy with the results, everything went so smoothly!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Hodgins to anyone. He really took the time to explain everything in detail, went through all potential risks involved and showed example before and after pictures for the procedure I was interested in. I'm very happy with the final results, exactly what I wanted.

I recently had my breast implants removed and replaced by Mr Hodgins. The procedure was completed quickly and professionally from consulation to operation. I was really worried about being in pain and having extended downtime but I was pleasantly surprised that I only had mild discomfort for two days and was able to return to my normal routine within 5-7 days. Recovery was fast, my scars healed quickly and the overall result was exactly what I asked for. Mr Hodgins and his team were excellent from start to finish and a procedure that I was worried about turned out to be much easier than anticipated. I would recommend Mr Hodgins and would like to thank him for looking after me so well and for making the whole process so positive.

I recently underwent breast augmentation with Mr Hodgins. I did a lot of research into the procedure & Mr Hodgins came highly recommended & from my experience, the praise is absolutely warranted. I met with Mr Hodgins twice before the surgery and he answered all of my questions fully, patiently and honestly. He listened to everything I said & I was in no doubt going into surgery that we were on the same page & that the results would be entirely proportionate with my petite frame. The nurses in The Fitzwilliam Clinic were also wonderful throughout the process and they could not have made me feel more at ease- both at the initial consultations and on the day of surgery. I was really surprised by how swift the recovery was after the procedure. After a day or two of slight discomfort (which was managed really well by the pain killers prescribed by the team after the surgery) by day 4 I didn’t even need to take pain medication & was able to work from home the following week. The results have far surpassed my expectations & I just wish I’d done this sooner. I would absolutely recommend The Fitzwilliam Clinic & Mr Hodgins to anyone who is considering breast augmentation surgery knowing that they’ll receive first class treatment & service.

I have just had my 6 week follow up appointment with Mr Hodgins after a breast reduction and I genuinely could not be happier with the results! The whole team involved have been outstanding from start to finish, every question I asked was answered and all information was given to me clearly up front. The procedure went perfectly as well as the healing process, there was zero pain following it at all which I was shocked at. The entire process was exceptionally easy and I felt reassured the whole time. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner, i feel brilliant!
