I have had a very positive experience with this doctor. He was clear and knowledgeable from the get go, despite me feeling overwhelmed initially by surgery. I had an uplift/mastopexy and augmentation. Surgery day was very relaxing. Dr Topping visited me and made me feel calm. All staff were wonderful as was the hospital. I had a very comfortable night and retreated home for recovery. I have healed really well and my breasts are looking fantastic. I’m really pleased I went ahead with this surgeon and that my experience has been really wonderful (albeit, recovery for the first week was challenging at times, but that’s to be expected.) Everything within the doctors and nurses power was top notch and I’m a very happy lady almost 3 weeks post op. Thankyou Dr Topping & staff at Clare park. Really appreciate the hard work and care you have taken with me. X
Dr topping is incredible. I have had asymmetrical breasts since I could remember, and after looking into local surgeons, his medical history and experience with reconstruction made me feel he was the right person to help me. From consultation to surgery, dr topping kept me intensely informed and I felt every decision had my benefit as priority. He was honest and showed in detail what was required for me to obtain the specific look I dreamt of. I couldn't recommend his services more, should I ever require or want further aesthetic surgery, dr topping would be my first go to without hesitation. The nurses he works with are so in tune, it is obvious they flow beautifully together and each nurse knows him on a personal level. Had I known the experience would be so pleasant, I’d never have fretted over any part. His aftercare is fantastic and he is very responsive and easy to reach should there be anything you are unsure of. If you are thinking about enquiring with dr topping and you are serious regarding augmentation, I honestly think getting in touch is so worth it. It makes alll the difference having someone you trust and who you know has the best interest.
I was a 36e/f and went in for a uplift on 23 rd sept, fantastic clinic and staff, whole process amazing. Came round and felt great but looked down and thought where are my boobs? Dr said he had to take 300g from each as could not lift them as the tissue inside was too tough so she could not roll it up into place. 1 week and 4 days post op and I’m still scared how small I look Swelling now going down and the top is settling lower now, so worried they look too small on me Has any one else had this? Do they fill out more? Loved my whole process just a little worried Updated on 7 Oct 2019: So it’s now 2 weeks after my surgery and I can see my breasts will be an ok size I must stress ladies we have to listen before we have the surgery and not look at the end result the breasts have settled I have worried un necessarily and looked at too many photos from other people and judged my own After seeing my surgeon at 2 weeks post op I must say he knows his job and has done a fantastic job, the stitching up is so neat and tidy and the whole breast is looking lovely I am so pleased and relieved and would urge everyone considering a uplift to really listen to theirs surgeon’s words before hand. After you will go through mixed emotions and feel they look wrong but trust that after time they settle to look right Will post my update pics later Updated on 8 Oct 2019: So I’ve spent last 2 weeks since my op worried about the size of my Breast, they seemed so small. My surgeon dr topping advised me they would be fine but still I worried Last night had my dressings off and sterile strips off and wow today I have a lovely pair of boobs 2 weeks and I love the nipple area and I’m impressed the scars looking great already So sorry I doubted you and didn’t listen dr topping I would tell all ladies to really listen to what the surgeon says and expect things to look strange , small and misshapen for a while So weird as swelling goes they actually get bigger!! As they soften they fill out Very very happy now and massive thank you Dr Topping at the Cadogan clinic, Sloane st
Honest, patient and kind. I knew what I wanted to look like but not how to do it and Mr Topping gave me time to discuss all the the options with honest feedback about the potential results and any issues. I went into surgery fully confident I had made the best decision and the results prove that. I am delighted with the results and feel that Mr Topping gave me all the information I needed whilst he provided the results with expertise and professionalism.
After losing 100lbs, I had an extended tummy tuck and chest reduction before Christmas. Everything went amazingly and the recovery was a lot lot better than I expected. The results after week 1 were amazing and I was very pleased, particularly as I was told I still had swelling and that it would go down. 8 weeks on however and I've ballooned - my surgeon says that because I'm back to work (office job), garments are off and I'm generally more active, that this is causing swelling and that it will go down at months 4-6. I have to take this as gospel although it's hard when seeing me get bigger - he's an absolutely professional but I would be really interested to hear of anyone else had had similar experiences? Attached are pictures of pre/post op, and then 1 week post op vs 8 weeks post op. Thanks
Always had small perky breast, after lots of pumping for premature twins and separation from my husband I needed something to do that was for me to gain confidence again. I met with two different surgeons and went with the second person. Both were honest that due to my rib cage shape I would not have cleavage but so happy with fuller breast. Before was a 32b had Nagor 390cc high profile with Adam topping at spire health group. Now I think I am 32 D need to have that officially proven but seems to be what fits!!! Updated on 29 Jul 2016: I realised I hadn't added my height is 5ft 3 and I weigh 116lbs my implants were done dual plane. I am also not sure hows review need Internet he Mentor implants section, something I did wrong I'm sure!
Twenty years ago I had 200 cc over the muscle implants as prolonged breast feeding had left me with hardly anything. This took me to a B cup which I was quite happy with as I'm petite and athletic and didn't want anything too obvious. After some years, I developed grade 4 capsular contracture which made my breasts very firm, uncomfortable and distorted (think tennis balls). I have such a fear of surgery that I kept putting it off, but finally got round to it this year. My breast width was measured at 11.5 cms and my surgeon advised me to go larger as when the capsule was removed there would be a larger pocket to fill. He suggested 270 or 300 cc Nagor Impleo moderate profile and I eventually decided on 300 cc (whereupon he remarked that this would give this most aesthetically pleasing result). I was concerned that I might look too large but he reassured me that it was a good choice. I was extremely nervous on the day of surgery but everyone was lovely, and the operation was successful. As it had been done early in the day and everything was fine, I was allowed home at about 7.30pm and went straight to bed! The next day, the anaesthetic had worn off more fully so I experienced more discomfort, but nothing unbearable at all. My arm movements were very limited and my husband had to wash my hair for me! It's day 12 now and I feel more like myself each day. I'm not allowed to run or exercise properly for 6 weeks but have started going for brisk walks and doing some (very careful) abs with my arms crossed over my chest. It's early days yet, but I think my boobs will be fine once they settle. They still feel alien to me, and a bit bigger than before, but not too over the top. I'm still wearing a Macom post-surgery bra which is hideous but very supportive and will apparently accelerate healing. I'm glad the worst is over and can't wait until I forget they're there! I've attached some not very good before and after school.
I had a breast reduction with him. He left me for two weeks without contact. Upon explaining my concerns they fell on death ears. He did not try to understand them inside made it seem like I was over exaggerating. There is no direct contact with him Scheduling appointments was really a problem with him. He did not weigh my breast before hand never discussed with me how much he was taking out. He took too much from my right breast hence leaving my left side bigger. Till this day he has not bothered explaining how this can be fixed. I am really appalled by his services. Please avoid.
In my early 20's I ballooned to 21st 4lbs (294lbs) although managed to then drop to 14st (196lbs) through hard work in the gym and healthy eating. However my skin had lost its elasticity and sonny tummy, flanks and chest never recovered. I spent years hiding it, feeling uncomfortable on a daily basis, struggling to wear clothes I liked, hiding on holidays and trying to fix it in the gym but you just can't fix empty skin if the fat has gone. So I met 6 surgeons and realised that the fix is out there and the scarring is minimal. 3 things for me: 1. I've done the hard work, why not finish it off 2. Any scarring is minimal and if for any reason I wasn't happy, at least I'm comfortabe for the 350 days a year I'm not on holiday ie Inhave my shirt on 3. It's only money... I released it from my house and this way, it's doing something that makes me genuinely much happier. I've never had surgery and was nervous, but after the operation I woke up feeling great. I was dosed up on anaesthetic and morphine and felt no pain at all... and bearing in mind my operation was 8 hours (extended tummy tuck 300 degrees around my body plus both sides of my chest were drained and lifted), and had 2 drains collecting fluid from my pelvis, I was amazed. I was in hospital and all evening was bouncing off the walls - partly relief, partly adrenaline. Day 2 was similar, refused morphine as I was numb from the operation and it was only on day 3 before going home from hospital that I took the Morphine on offer. Days 3-6 I was at home with my drains in and was confined to the sofa, legs up and pillow under my knees (helps so much to take the pressure of your back!). When laying down I was pretty numb and pain free. When getting up it did hurt in my abdomen, but you learn which movements and which muscles being tensed cause the pain, to avoid it. Once up, there was no pain when walking - just inconvenient having the drains. If your gf/wife is around to help pull you up to avoid using abs to their full extent, then make the most of it! Showering was amazing every day, just let the water hit you, low power, don't use shower gels etc. I've had no infections and think this helped that. Day 6, drains out... thank god! The pain from getting up and down is vastly reduced and certainly bearable. Sleeping is easier although I've been on my back in bed for 2 weeks which with a pillow is easier but not ideal. It didn't hurt having the drains out and they go in a lot further than I realised! I have some slight fluid build up since the drains came out on one side, but the doc gave me some antibiotics to avoid any infection developing and today (day 20) I'm seeing my surgeon for my scheduled visit and I doubt he will simply drain this off. Day 7 onwards... thank god for Christmas TV but not so much for the Christmas food that's everywhere around me - tempting but have generally been pretty good. I've had no alcohol and only had a few drinks when it came to New Years Eve on Day 13. My mobility from Day 7 onwards has got better and better every day... I'm wearing a corset for my chest, binder for my waist with cycling shorts and an under armour top underneath to help avoid irritation and blistering. Day 12 - belly button stitches came out - everything else is dissolvable or glue. Some slight yellow fluid but is blokes find that fascinating. Its all fine though and healing well, remember not to touch any of the wounds and change dressings all the time - make sure you have enough! One part of my waistline (back of the hips) became loose so I put the skin healing strips/tape over it to ensure the skin healed in place as it had slightly come apart. All fine now. At first every was very very tight and I couldn't stand up straight for 10-12 days. Even now, 20 days on it's a bit tight but much more mobile. No exercise for 6 weeks is tough but all of the surgeons I saw told me this so I'm not rushing myself back into it thinking I know better... because I don't. Some concerns which would be great to hear from anyone hats experienced similar... 1. Big improvement but I don't feel as though my chest swelling is reducing - do you see much reduction beyond day 20? 2. My waistline looks a lot better but at Day 20 my waist is an inch or two bigger than it was previously - I'm back to work on Monday (23 days post op) and it's not looking great for getting into ny suit?! 3. The left side of my chest is bigger than my right, which it was pre-op also, but I had hoped this would be corrected now. 4. My surgeon used the doughnut incision around my nipple which leaves the nipple pinched with the drawstring effect - to me this is a better option than having scars across my chest, but wondered how others found the pinching around the nipple would relax, over time? 5. I've noticed as the skin tightening has worn off that my flanks may have bulged slightly from day 5 to day 20... I'm not sure if it's because I'm inactive at the moment, the skin relaxes, we have DNA in our body that says where to store the Christmas turkey? Any thoughts? I don't want this to grow back!!! Happy to answer any questions but this looks to be life changing for me! Updated on 30 Jan 2017: I'm 6 weeks post op and a little concerned. 1 week after the op I felt a lot trimmer, tighter, flatter in my chest, hips and tummy. Now it feels as though things have started to relax, sag and bulge and while there is an improvement since before the operation, I'm worried where this is going and what I'll be left with. I saw my surgeon 3 weeks after the op and he assured me that I had swelling which would reduce but if anything it's been the opposite? Worried Updated on 15 Feb 2017: 8 weeks on and rather than swelling going down, swelling has got worse. Has anyone else found this? My surgeon tells me that I will return to normal anything from 4-6 months post op (I'm 2 months at the moment) which I hope will happen, but really interested to hear any other stories? The attached picture shows the difference from 1 week post op, to now which is 8 weeks Updated on 15 Feb 2017: After losing 100lbs, I had an extended tummy tuck and chest reduction before Christmas.

Always knew I wasn't happy with my breasts. Only diagnosed with tubular breasts when I went for my first consultation. I'm seeing my surgeon twice again before surgery to discuss size and healing. I'm so excited, it's all I talk about. I've been using Clarins body tonic oil on my breasts every day for two weeks, and will continue to do so right up until my surgery as it improves skin elasticity and will reduce stretch marks (hopefully!) I am a hairdresser so worried about how the pain will be once I get back to work as I only have two weeks off? Will keep y'all posted in January! Updated on 27 Feb 2019: I'm terrible at keeping up to date on this site, please don't message me for info as sadly i know it'll take me a while to reply (honesty is key!) 3 years on from my breast augmentation and lift i still have slight lollipop scarring (around nipples and vertical down the middle) however, my breasts look so good I can't say I'm too bothered. My long scars have keloid-ed slightly, so the scars are risen. I'm moisturising them and the colour is regular skin colour again :) I'm fine living with them, however I do believe they can be treated should you suffer them with yourself and don't like how they look I'm heading back to the same hospital to discuss weight loss surgery. I'm 26, 5'6 and weigh about 12 stone. I wouldn't describe myself as unhappy/gross or 'fat' however I tend to carry my weight on the stomach area, so while I'm actually okay with my body I have been struggling to shift the jiggly middle. With my breasts being so perky (thanks again to my surgeon!) it can actually make me look a lot bigger than I am, especially any flowy material! I hope to have children in the next 2/3 years or so, my aim is to get as physically fit as possible before hand to ensure health & healing during and post pregnancy. I think I like the sound of liposuction or a gastric balloon?? (6 month in-and-out balloon, temporary fix) Truthfully, I want to enjoy my life and my body as much as I can before children and I believe weight loss surgery would give me a massive confidence boost!!
