I recently had a motiva preserve breast augmentation with Mr MrcLean. From the initial consultation to the after-care following surgery, nothing has been too much hassle. I instantly felt comfortable in Mr McLean’s care, time was taken to explain every aspect of the procedure and I was encouraged to go away and think about the surgery and whether I wanted to go ahead on multiple occasions. The results are better than I could have imagined and the recovery following the preserve technique has been unbelievably quick. I would recommend Mr McLean to anyone looking to have breast surgery.

I attended a consultation for breast reduction with Mr McLean and from start to finish the process has been excellent. I am very happy with my results and how well looked after I have felt throughout.

Mr McLean was incredibly informative, attentive, and kind throughout my experience. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and offered invaluable knowledge and insight that made me feel confident and reassured every step of the way. His lovely, caring personality immediately put me at ease. Choosing to have surgery was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I couldn’t be happier with the results—they truly surpassed my expectations. I believe that is largely thanks to Mr McLean’s exceptional skill, expertise, and genuine care.

I am so grateful for all the care I received from Mr. Ross Mclean and team during the 2 years I was with them for my bilateral breast cancer. Thorough checkups with biopsies, MRIs etc. Reports sent out promptly keeping me well informed. Operations went so well with excellent outcomes. Always treated with care and respect, keeping me upbeat. Made to feel so relaxed for a shy person like me thats amazing. I would recommend Mr. Mclean he is excellent. For any person going through the same diagnosis I would say take one day at a time, dont jump ahead. Listen to advice, the team are experts and have all the answers, dont be afraid to ask its your body you deserve the best. I feel so lucky to have had this Surgeon looking after me, I felt his advice kept me in a the right frame of mind, which I think is so important for recovery. A massive thankyou from me and my Husband, who cannot believe how well I've coped.
