I am so incredibly happy with my breast reduction experience with Mark and Christine. The entire process has been so easy and the results are out of this world.
During my consultation (in February), Mark and I discussed the various issues and aches I was experiencing due to my large breasts, both physically and mentally. It was almost like he could tell right away exactly what I needed and how much smaller I could go to get the results I wanted. Mark explained the whole procedure to me in detail and answered my massive list of questions very patiently, which I really appreciated. I’m sure he has to go through this with all of his patients but it being the first time I was hearing any of it, I appreciated the safe space to ask all of my questions. He also came across very confident in his work (his before and afters speak for themselves!) but not pushy at all, which again was really comforting to me. He encouraged me to do my research before booking the surgery in but I knew right away that I wanted him to be my surgeon!
After that, Christine was extremely helpful and quick to send me some available dates and, once booked in, she shared all of the pre and post operative information I could possibly need. Christine was also so communicative when I had a few extra questions prior to the surgery. She even went out of her way to send me a sweet message the morning of my surgery as she knew I’d be nervous!
The actual surgery was a huge success. It was done at Cadogan Clinic, where the team was so helpful and supportive. The procedure itself took around 1.5 hours and I was able to go home shortly after, once my anaesthesia wore off. When Mark showed me the results right after the surgery, I was so convinced I was looking at someone else’s body in the mirror — my breasts had never looked this fantastic in my whole life. They were absolutely perfect, exactly what I wanted!
The recovery was a bit painful the first two weeks but during my first post-op appt, Mark ensured me that everything was looking and healing great and to not be so tense around my body. This improved my confidence and I was able to move a lot easier after that! Mark’s general demeanour is so confident and comforting, it is so contagious — I left my post op appt feeling like a million bucks!
As the weeks progressed, my breasts continued to heal wonderfully. If I had any questions, Christine was so incredibly helpful and quick to respond. She is so knowledgeable and has helped so many of Mark’s patients that she knew exactly what to suggest at all times.
I am now nearly 2 months post op and completely 100% back to normal (I was by the 1 month mark, more or less). I was able to manage my pain using only Paracetemol.
Re: the scars; Mark mentioned the scarring in our pre op appt and I was fully ready for it. However, his stitches were so impeccably neat and clean that most of my scars are already blended into my skin and looking so good!
In summary, Mark is truly an artist, you can tell he really genuinely cares and listens to his patients to get them the results they’re seeking. Christine is an incredible support as well, and is so quick to help and ensure the safety and comfort of their patients. I would 110% absolutely recommend Mark and Christine to anyone who is looking to get a breast reduction. I feel a million times better and my confidence has skyrocketed ever since. Thank you so so so much Mark and Christine, you’ve changed my life!
