Breast reduction

Tummy tucks

Botched Boob Jobs up by 30% a year in the UK.

London, Nov 1 (ANI): The number of British women suffering botched breast implant surgeries has increased by a shocking 30 per cent in a year, figures have revealed.

Figures from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency showed that surgeons received 173 complaints last year – up from 135 in 2007, reports News of the World.

Health watchdogs are recording three complaints a week about dodgy boob jobs.

Problems included implants leaking, bursting or hardening – which causes painful swelling.

Office worker Lisa, from Morecambe, Lancs, 35, travelled to a clinic in Tunisia to boost her bust from a 34A to a 34D – saving 1,500 pounds on what the procedure would cost in Britain.

However, it went wrong and her boobs were left horribly misshapen.

“Bargain- basement surgery cost me my looks. My breasts met in the middle,” News of the World quoted her as saying.

Lisa has since paid 5,000 pounds for reconstructive surgery in the UK and is battling for compensation from the foreign clinic.

Single mum Ali Chapman, 42, from Southampton, suffered a burst boob after two botched ops at the same place.

“I knew something was wrong because my left breast felt really uncomfortable. Then I felt a ping and my boob had exploded,” Ali said.

“I’m facing a long recovery before a surgeon can even contemplate operating on my ruined breasts.

“My advice is save up and have surgery in the UK. Don’t end up like me and Lisa – butchered and broke,” she added.

One surgeon, Adrian Richards, www.aurora-clinics.co.uk said the rise in complaints was partly down to more breast implant surgery being conducted – 30,000 women went under the knife last year. (ANI)

Inverted Nipple Correction - The Operation

A Huge Thank You

Dear Dr Richards
 
I just wanted to send you an email to say a very big Thank you! It was over a year ago that I came in for my 1st consultation, and knew from the minute I arrived at the Aurora Clinic that I would be well looked after ( I decided after my 1st visit I wouldn't need any other consultations!). It was a very long journey for me from start to finish, but it was definitely worth every second! I had numerous consultations with Dr Richards, and even the suspected bleeding disorder was not that much of a hurdle in the end! I really appreciate the care and consideration I was given, especially by Dr Richards, Libby and Sue!

I was very nervous when it came to the day of the operation, but also excited about finally having a normal womanly figure, and from as soon as I arrived at the Shelbourne I was looked after and re-assured! Everyone who was there on the day was so friendly and made me feel very looked after, and the whole experience was so positive! By the time it came to having my general anaesthetic I was so excited and already looking forward to waking up with boobies!!

My aftercare has also been 2nd to none. I know that at anytime, I can call and speak to someone, no matter how silly the question seems. I also know I can make an appointment to come in and see you with out it being too much trouble!
I am a million times happier than I was before my operation, and have a figure I am finally happy with! I have the tiniest little scars that you can hardly see (and i'm only 5 months post op) as well as very natural looking boobs, exactly what I always wanted!
I have a few friends who have been so impressed with my results they are now considering looking into having a breast augmentation with Aurora too!
 
The best part has been going on holiday (I managed to get away 3 times this summer!) and not worrying about how I looked in my bikini! I joined in with water sports and beach games that a year ago would have been an impossibility for me! I even braved the banana boat! Evem the gym is something I enjoy again!
People are amazed when I tell them that I've had implants! Most won't believe me as they look and feel so real and fit my shape so well!!
 
If you have any prospective patients, with worries or fears, especially anyone squeamish and afraid of blood/pain/needles, please give them my details, I would love to help anyone going through the same procedure!!
 
A Million Thanks You's

Dangers of Surgery abroad

We have recently seen a number of patients who have been treated abroad with significant complications following their surgery.

 In this case she underwent a breast implant procedure combined with a breast uplift in Turkey.

           

The surgery was complicated by a infection of one of the stitches which has left her with this wound which we are treating,

If you are considering having surgery abroad we suggest:

1. You thoroughly check out the Hospital you are having the surgery in
2. Specifically check on their infection control procedures
3. Ask your surgeon if he has had any infections in any of his patients    
4. Make sure you are clear about how any complications will be covered if you do develop any problems 

Inverted Nipple Correction - A Testimonial

Read the testimonial of a young woman whose life changed following inverted nipple correction.

CR        I am here today with a 33 year old female who has been affected with inverted nipples.  I would just like to ask you a few questions if that is ok.

EW       My mum actually did a search on the Internet after I had a breakdown one day because it affected my life so much and she found Dr Richards on the website.

CR        Prior to having this operation how did it affect your lifestyle?

EW       It affected anything from when I was 13 / 14, and I looked different to my friends.  I was hiding in swimming classes, gymnastic classes, well just hiding in general, clothes shop, when getting changed when you went shopping with your friends.  Boys, my career in theatre and getting changed backstage.  It affected houses that I rented in terms of where the showers were the position of the showers so I could hide.

The holidays that I never went on with my girlfriends because I would not get unchanged in front of them.  In fact it affected every aspects of my life and decisions I made were based on not showing my breasts to anyone.

CR        So now you have had the procedure is it possible to explain just a little bit about your feelings in the run up and obviously how you are feeling now?

EW       After my initial consultation, it was very quick and I got an appointment the next week and all I could think of was I wanted it done and it was like my dreams had come true and my wishes had been answered.   I was not nervous and felt very comfortable with the team here and everything was explained to me and I just could not wait.

CR        And how long did it take you to recover and go back to work?

EW       Well I was back at work the next day.

CR        So it has made a world of difference to you.  Can I ask if you would recommend this procedure to anyone else?

EW       100%...150% Yeah I would say yes it is so easy, so simple, so quick, almost pain free and the results are absolutely amazing …. I am just naked all the time now.  I don’t ever want to get dressed.

Has Anne Robinson had a face lift

Reports over the weekend suggust that Anne Robibinson has undergone further facial procedures.

From the pictures above it looks as if something has been done.  Face lifting procedures lift the soft tissues of the jowl and neck and you can see these are firmer.  Her lower eyelids in particular look better and she may well have had a blepharoplasty procedure.

The quality of her skin is also much better and this is usually achieved by either a skin peel or laser procedure.

If you would like to know more about any of these procedures please take a look at our infomation videos.

Overall she looks good and this best achieved with a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Surgical director of Aurora Clinics

NIP & TUCK NUPTIALS ON THE RISE

In a recent survey carried out by Brides Magazine, 35% of readers revealed they would be willing to have cosmetic surgery before their big day.

Claire Cordell, 33, decided to have Cosmetic Surgery undertaken by Adrian Richards of Aurora Clinics.

Claire was once a size 10 but after having children she felt she had the body of a woman a decade older.

Claire said “when her Fiancé proposed I was thrilled but had this sinking feeling about showing my body of in front of friends and family”.

Claire made an appointment with Adrian Richards, Leading Plastic Surgeon at Aurora Clinics.   Mr Richards talked her through a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) procedure and a Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)  Having explained the realistic expectations Claire made her decision to go ahead with the surgery but had not taken it too lightly.

On the day of surgery Claire had five kilos of fat and skin removed and also the Breast Uplift as a joint birthday and wedding gift from her Fiancé.

Four weeks following surgery and Claire had healed and was delighted with the results and felt confident posing for pictures on her wedding day.

Another Aurora Patient, Gemma Harrison, 30 got engaged last year and found her dream wedding dress, a feminine strapless dress by Pronovias.

However, Gemma felt let down by her back, chest and shoulders as they were covered in large brown moles.  

Gemma decided to take action and had fourteen moles removed by Adrian Richards at Aurora Clinics.  Gemma was treated as a day patient.

A new confident Gemma say’s she cannot put a price on how much better she feels as a result and has no regrets.
