Breast reduction & lipo to the chest wall - (no implants) 10/10/2024 (I lost 5 stone beforehand /38kg). I was so nervous when I went to see Dr Dan for initial consultation having never elected to do any surgery willingly, however he immediately put my mind at rest as Dan so kind, calm and professional. In our consultation, Dan was realistic and honest in terms of was safely achievable vs what I was looking for and I really appreciated that. No hard sell in the slightest,, no upsell, just laser focused on achieving the right outcomes for me. The surgery went very smoothly from admission to discharge; very organised. The staff at Wellbeck Hospital are so kind, keeping your wellbeing at heart and ensuring your pain relief was under control. It may sound a little melodramatic but Dan has managed to silence the negative messages that I have been saying to myself for for 25 years about my breasts. Instead, these have now been replaced with words of kindness, positivity and excitement for what lays ahead. I simply cannot believe these are mine. They fit my body so perfectly ! . I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. If it wasn’t for the fact that most part illegal, I’d walk everywhere without any clothes on to show them off..Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and on behalf of my beautiful new breasts) to you and the team Dan. I’ve gone from a 38E to a 34B. Before, I spent so much time at the Chiropractor with back ache, neck ache and shoulder pain. Haven’t been back since surgery! My brief to Dan, was that I just “didn’t want to be aware of them any longer” as they made me feel really ugly with terrible dysmorphia. I hated the way I looked in clothes and naked and impacted how I felt about my body for decades. I hid them for years in baggy clothing and in the dark. He absolutely smashed it out of the park. He hasn’t stopped me thinking about them, but only because I can’t stop looking at them, how great I look in any top I put on and literally walk around after the shower naked. It’s been life changing honestly ! I couldn’t recommend you or the PSG group highly enough. Thank you so much to Dan and the team !

I am 26 years old and have just had my breast reduction! My breast reduction finally took place on 9th December 2021 after 8 years in the making! I am over the moon!!! I was due to get it in the NHS as my funding was approved. However they finally get me a date for my op and it was 3 days before my final year uni exams. Long story short I obviously couldn't do that date so they took me off the list. And I've been saving up until this year where I've managed to get it done privately. Best decision I have ever made! Updated on 11 Dec 2021: Can’t believe it’s finally happened still feels super surreal!!! I’ve always had really bad back pain. Really large indentation in my shoulders and the biggest “traps” (shoulder muscles) for holding them up! They sooo heavy. Here’s some before pics Updated on 11 Dec 2021: Updated on 11 Dec 2021: Surgery was 2 days ago now. Didn’t sleep well last night. Woke up every hour. The pain isn’t too bad. Definitely bare-able im just uncomfortable. So so pleased with how everything has gone. Just focusing on recovering! Updated on 11 Dec 2021: Super swollen at the moment. My left breast is much more swollen than the right. My surgeon had to do more work to the left one which is why it is so much more swollen now Updated on 14 Dec 2021: Today I travelled to Harley Street for my post op appointment. Went really well! They said I was healing super well which was a relief as I was worried about the pain and bleeding I’d been having (which was all apparently normal) Feeling much better today in general too. The changing of the dressing was nice easy and nowhere near as painful as i thought! Ive now got waterproof dressing on so I’m all good to have a proper shower thank goooodness!!! Updated on 23 Dec 2021: I’m feeling so much better! Seeing improvements everyday. Today I drove for the first time. It was slightly uncomfortable at first but was fine. Took my dressing off yesterday as I was told to by the nurse. I was a little concerned by some open wounds. Sent pics to the nurse she said all looks good! Updated on 11 Jan 2022: Left nipples still a bit weird but they’re not swollen anymore! And I loooove the size! Really really really happy with them! Updated on 13 Jan 2022: Updated on 7 Jul 2022: I had my 6 month post op couple weeks ago and mentioned the bits I wasn’t super happy with. My left nipple is inverted and there’s a bit of tissue on the sides. Dr Marsh said he could get me in asap for a post op to fix everything! Fix inverted nipple, lipo the sides and also take a little of the top of left areola to even them out. Absolutely over the moon with his service and made me feel so comfortable. Like he really wants to make everything as good as possible and ensure I’m pleased with results

Mr Marsh has changed my life. I had my surgery yesterday at 8:30am and it's 3am (I am a light sleeper, not awake due to the surgery). My pain relief has worn off and I'm fine - yes it burns a bit and I feel sore but that's it. Anyway, so far I'm SO happy! I can already see the position and get an idea of shape and size. But mainly at this stage reflecting on the experience and how comfortable the whole of yesterday was. Everyone knows Marsh is the Best at Boobs, but having met him I also feel he's the nicest person I have ever met on Harley Street (and trust me I've seen them all!).I feel so comfortable talking to him about things I would usually be shy about, and he is honest in a really kind and considerate way, unlike many other cosmetic surgeons who in my experience play on insecurities to upsell. With all that weight off my chest, I feel so much more is possible. I knew my boobs were holding me back but I didn't realise how much - I realised as I was being driven home through London's bumpy roads the soreness of my new small boobs was less annoying than my old big boobs which used to jiggle and ache all the time! For all my life. So I feel really free.The things I can't do, are lift my arms over my head, open high cupboards, the freezer, and tie my shoelaces. That kind of thing, but otherwise absolutely fine. Anyway, it's only been 18hrs or so, so I better not count my chickens. Will update review soon.Also: the one tip I have that I hadn't already heard is to try not to book on the first day of your period. I came on during surgery and it resulted in severe period pains, I think the laying down for hours causes clots and clots = pain. Sorry for the graphic detail but no one teaches us this stuff! Updated on 2 Dec 2022: After my surgery I have got scars around my nipples and some nipple loss. It looks OK but it’s important that people consider this because you never see it in pictures. I lost about 10% of the right nipple and the left stretched and had to be revised. They are still not symmetrical. I think that’s just this surgery. But no one tells you - so check lots of nipple pics before you go ahead. Updated on 24 Jan 2023: Now it’s been almost 2 years I can be sure that the sensation in my nipples is not coming back. I have tried PRP recently so there’s a tiny bit of hope, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to feel my nipples again. I do think this has seriously affected my sex life and my relationship with my body and it’s sad. Yes I love the new shape of my boobs and feel lighter. But the two issues I’ve had - partial nipple loss, nipple warping and sensation loss, have a greater impact than I thought and people should know. Here’s the final result. Updated on 29 Dec 2023: Boobs look good but still no sensation I lost about 1/4 of the right nipple to necrosis which is something I believe could have been prevented I also lost sensation in both nipples which is a bigger deal than I thought. One of the nipples had to be revised. I think this is partially technique and partially because of my posture - it was slightly stretched before and the surgery exacerbated this. Nevertheless I do love Mr Marsh’s results. I am just being honest about the details that I feel people don’t really discuss. Reviews are either gushing and sycophantic or brutally critical. That’s not how things really are. I have had a few surgeries now and let me be real with you. ANY surgery with ANY top doctor will give you consequences. Choose a great doctor like Mr Marsh and they will be minimised. That’s my lesson from years and years of surgeries. Best of luck.

Thank you Dan. I am in my early 20s and had been looking into surgery for several years. After doing hours and hours of research for months, I came across Dan and knew right away that I had to speak with him. After speaking for only a matter of minutes, I was instantly at ease and felt reassured that I was in safe hands, finding someone who understood exactly what I was hoping for whilst also being extremely honest and transparent about expectations etc. I met with Dan properly a few months later in London and felt even better. Once I found Dan there was no one else I was even considering. I waited around 10 months from initial call until surgery but this time is nothing in comparison to the incredible results and confidence I now have! Surgery was a BREEZE. The team at the clinic and hospital were incredible and all of my care was so personalised, it didn't feel daunting at all. I had little nerves but right away Dan, the nurse and anaesthetist made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable. Recovery was even better, I may be a lucky case? However I had little to no pain and only mild discomfort. I am nearly at 4 months post OP and my results get better everyday - Dan, thank you thank you thank you. The best decision I ever made. Choosing Dan!!!!!

I can't believe I've actually gone through with this. I first started to consider a mummy makeover a few years after having my first son and after my body went through the wars with a slipped disc etc. It was 2017 I signed up to RS and starts to explore surgical ways of fixing my distasis recti. I then came across the term "mummy makeover" and realised that aside from the tummy tuck I could also reduce and lift my boobs which had always been massive. 30F from age 18 to 32GG until recently. I found Mr Marsh on RS and then saw he had a presence on Instagram which made him feel approachable. I have been following him for years, watching his stories demystifying the mummy makeover procedure, being upfront about the fees and also the fact it cost nothing to meet him for that initial consultation. Anyway I waited. Had my second kid, and waited some more. Always in the hope that maybe I could lose more weight, shrink my boobs and possibly even fix my tummy. I managed to get the weight down but the pandemic hit, with it the stress of working full time, kids remote learning and getting older. I spoke to my husband and said, I want to feel good about my body. I want to be proud to wear a swim suit or even a bikini, not hide in big shorts and t shirts. He asked what I wanted for my 40th, a watch, diamonds... I said a new body!! So, we finally put this plan into action. Booked a consultation last summer when the waiting list for Mr Marsh was huge. By the time I saw him in December 2020 the list had reduced and the earliest appointment I could get was June 2021. I went for it! The next few months we got a Peloton, got fit and healthy over the dark winter months of lockdown 3 (although I didn't shift much weight according to the scales) and then went through with it. I won't lie, I was absolutely bricking it the few weeks before surgery. I tried to be as positive as possible spoke to friends who had similar surgery who helped a great deal. A few friends were also super supportive. Not everyone knows as many can be judgemental but I'll most likely tell them in time. On the day itself I had a roller coaster of emotions. The only times I've ever gone under was for emergency and acute medical reasons (broke my arm age 13 and needed a plate, eye surgery in my 20s, back surgery for my slipped disc), so to choose to put myself in pain was totally freaking me out. In the end having to wait for a few hours after admission into the London Welbeck meant that I had to come to terms with it in my own way. In truth the surgery is the easiest bit. The recovery is what takes time and you need to be focused on getting better and doing whatever it take to recover in the best way possible. Mr Marsh is so lovely and brilliant at what he does. I am in awe of how he transforms our boobs and tummies the way he does! His team at The Plastic Surgery Group are all genuinely down to earth, friendly and supportive. It's still early days as I can see their help and involvement really comes into its own post-surgery but so far would definitely recommend. Anyway, a long into intro my MM journey. I'll be back to share updates as things progress. Updated on 18 Jun 2021: So I’m now 8 days post-op. I’m still oozing from a few places. Suddenly my boobs have started but Emily the nurse at TPSG is so lovely and attentive. I’ve been there for 2 post-op appointments and going back for a third next week. All with the aim of ensuring i don’t get any infection. Thankfully my mum is around to help me load (she’s a retired nurse) so I feel like I’m in safe hands. My skin has reacted to the adhesives from the dressings which is annoying but hopefully it clears up. I’m also only on paracetamol and a bit of morphine at night for sleep. When I left the hospital they gave me paracetamol, methacarbomol and oral morphine. The methacarbomol is a muscle relaxant and I found that worked a treat for me. You have to be mindful you don’t get constipated with the painkillers, thankfully after 3 days I’ve been going like clockwork. The first few days weren’t so bad, as long as you take your meds you’re fine. I’ve had no trouble sleeping until last night which was the first night I went without any heavy meds. No fun! I did start my lymphatic drainage massage day 7 post-op and what a joy that was! I think this will be the highlight of my record period, no doubt! The lady I found is perfect and her treatment room is a true sanctuary with sweet cinnamon smells and her hands are like heaven! Updated on 22 Jun 2021: So I’m pretty much off the meds now. Took just some paracetamol last night as it’s usually at the end of the day it gets uncomfortable. Changing my dressings daily at the moment to stop the oozing and avoid infection. The nurse at The Plastic Surgery Group has been fabulous and given me a decent pack of stuff to use. Currently using silver nitrate on my boobs and a bit of my tummy incision which hasn’t quite healed. The belly button looks like it’s going to take some time as it’s the ooziest bit when I change the dressings. Finally standing up a bit straighter but not 100%. I feel this needs to happen soon for me to be able to go for long walks and not get back pain. I’ve sneezed once and swear I thought I torn something. Coughing isn’t too bad. Laughing is worse and everyone is hell bent on making me laugh at the mo. Thank goodness for my mother’s support. My husband is doing his best with our two kids but even that’s not enough. I did a more of activity than usual the other day and my boobs started oozing again! The lymphatic drainage massage has been a real treat throughout the recovery so far. I’ve been going every other day since 1 week post-op. I have quite a bit of swelling round my navel and on my mons pubis. It’s actually really painful so I’m trying to massage it myself any spare moment I have… which looks funny to anyone who happens to catch me with my hands down my joggers… haha! Updated on 26 Jun 2021: So literally after my last update I had a shower and went to change the dressings when my left breast starting oozing. At first I thought it would be okay but noticed a small opening at the T junction underneath the breast. The next day blood was also coming but underneath the left nipple. Since then the oozing turned into blood and 15 days post-op it was confirmed as a hematoma :-( I honestly haven’t done anything too strenuous. I washed my hair, that’s the only thing I can think could have caused anything. My 3 year old son elbowed me in the same breast a few days after surgery but I doubt it would have caused this. Anyway the Plastic Surgery Group have been so attentive about this. I went into the clinic on Friday and although Dan Marsh wasn’t there, his partner, Mo Akhavani checked me over and drained as much of the hematoma as he could. I’m on antibiotics as a precaution but the bleeding hasn’t stopped unfortunately. It may need a visit to theatre to clean it out and find out what is happening. Obviously I’m down about it but at least the rest of me is healing up really well now. Just a few patches of inadine here, there and on the belly button. I do hope this resolves. I’ve seen some horrific pictures and stories of wounds breaking down and that’s what I really want to avoid. I’m sharing the downsides here for full disclosure. These things happen, it’s no one’s fault and all we can do is trust our bodies to mend themselves. I have my fingers and toes crossed!! Updated on 30 Jun 2021: Earlier this week I was seen by Dan Marsh and thankfully no need for another trip to theatre. He did an amazing job of dealing with the hematoma in the clinic. I got a local anaesthetic and he went in, removed the hematoma, gave it a good clean and checked out what the issue was. It appears to have been a small bleed between two folds of tissue in the breast, most likely happened not long after surgery. Just took a while to rear its head. Also created a space between the tissue so now that needs to come together and heal. He stitched me up with some dissolvable stitches and some regular ones. I was told to expect some leaking and bleeding for a few days before it settles. It will take time to heal so I need to be patient. I’ll be back next week for a check up. Still on antibiotics too. For a day it seemed fine, no bleeding whatsoever but this morning my bed sheets were soiled with blood so changed the dressings and will keep a close eye on it. The rest of me is doing really well. Scars on tummy and right breast have healed so just plastering E45 on them daily. I had a gap of about 3 days with no lymphatic drainage massage and I felt really tight and lumpy. Also my left hip has developed a ridge most likely due to scar tissue. The massage therapist has recommended LED therapy for scars and swelling. Not sure if anyone here has any experiences or reckons it’s a waste of time and money?! Willing to do anything as my lower abdomen is still very swollen. Also really want to start stretching my abdomen as it feels so tight when I’m walking. Not sure when I can do that. Updated on 10 Jul 2021: Feeling so much more human these days! Standing straight, walking around loads and enjoying my new shape! My left breast is healing very slowly whereas the rest of me it’s doing very well. I’ve moved onto wearing silicone strips on my TT and right breast T scars (not the nipple area) but after a few days I’ve noticed some skin irritation. It’s so frustrating that I have such sensitive skin. My rash for my op dressings is still visible, all very bizarre and annoying as I have to look at alternatives to keep my skin happy. Tonight (4 weeks + 2 days PO) I decided to give the strips a break and went back to E45. I’ll try them again tomorrow after a break but I may have to look for some alternative options for helping scars. If anyone has any ideas pls share!! I’ve still got some swelling in the abdo so sticking with the LDM. Booked another 10 sessions but going for 2 a week instead of 3. My therapist is now doing LED light therapy for my TT scar during my sessions so we’ll what that does for the healing process. I’m also interested to know what people use for swelling as I head out of stage 1 to stage 2 PO. Dan Marsh recommended spanks so may try the few I had pre op before buying some new ones. Updated on 28 Jul 2021: It’s been a good few weeks since my last update. I’m busy with work and life. My left breast is very nearly healed. Unfortunately a part of my wound started to over-granulate so had to use hydrocortisone which didn’t work so well but my mum (retired nurse) located a specific ointment which is specific to this wound healing issue so fingers crossed. Still using dressings and now trying to moisturise the skin where I can as it’s so dry. Still not convinced the shape underneath the breast will level out like the right hand side. The vertical scar looks bad due to the hematoma and not happy with the nipple position. I know it’s early days but I reckon i’ll need a revision for sure. On the plus side the right breast looking great and my abdo is getting there too. I was away week before last and got into new clothes which shows off my silhouette and made. All so worthwhile. On the scars I’m now using silicon gel instead of tapes and alternating with rose hip essential oil. I’m also still doing my LDM but once or twice a week. Still have swelling and puffiness on the lower abdo which gets bad if I’ve spent the day at the office and moving around from place to place. I can’t wear the spanx as often as I should and that’s because I wanna feel free and relaxed. Last week my belly button started to change again and has got all puffy and flattened out a bit. I asked one of the nurses at the PSG and she put it down to swelling and said it will take time, it’s the last thing to heal fully but be good to hear from others on their BB experiences. I should be seeing Dan Marsh in a week or so. I hope I won’t be in anymore dressings by then so I can get his full perspective on things.

I’ve waited almost 10 years to have upper eyelid surgery. I’ve done lots of research and I know I’ve made the right choice, a great experience, local anaesthetic, early days but very happy! A real professional etiquette at the clinic but made to feel very welcome. I was able to relax and chat during my surgery, highly recommend Mr Marsh. I’m hoping to book further surgery, everything was perfect. I did not feel a thing during my surgery... once my eyes are better I will post all photos! 

After years of tucking excess breast skin into ill-fitting bras (pregnancy 'gifts' me with HHcup breasts, which then deflate rapidly after feeding stops) and being completely consumed with the very sad appearance of my top half for most of my waking hours, I knew it was time to get a little help. I researched and met with 3 surgeons but as soon as I met Dan I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He understood exactly what I wanted to achieve and listened to my concerns regarding size, future sagging and was thorough in explaining the procedure. The deal closer for me though, was seeing examples of his previous work and how beautiful his scarring looked. I knew an uplift would cause extensive scarring therefore, I wanted to be in the best hands possible to make sure I healed well and that mine looked as good as they could do after such a surgery - which, I can confirm at 8 weeks post-op, they do! Given my overstretched skin, Dan advised a 292cc B-lite implant and a full anchor lift - this was the PERFECT choice of implant and size for my 5ft 4 126lb frame. There were no pre-op nerves - only excitement, which was not only down to trusting Dan completely, but each and every member of staff I met at The Welbeck were just as brilliant. I felt safe, cared for and in the hands of complete professionals. I couldn’t be more delighted with my new breasts, they are the perfect size and my scarring looks incredible. I’ve healed like a dream. Dan is an exceptional surgeon, who will listen to what you want, give honest feedback and set realistic expectations. I honestly couldn’t of wanted for anything more in a surgeon ! Updated on 27 Nov 2020: I thought it might be helpful to see how my uplift scars look at 8 weeks, along with my new bra size. Pre-op I definitely struggled to visualise how big/small a 292cc implant would look and I couldn’t find many reviews on the smaller B-Lite implants. I am currently wearing a 32DD and although there is still a little swelling to go down, I don’t think my size will change all that much now

It’s funny how life turns out isn’t it? I never thought I'd have plastic surgery; but with every year and decade that passes the nuances of time bring about a whole new outlook. I for one really cherish the thought of growing ‘older’ because you learn to focus more and more on the things that make you happy and rid yourself of the rest. My mother once told me that ‘middle age is when your broad mind and narrow waist swap places’. She’s not wrong, especially after birthing and still currently rearing 3 children under 9; but as I hurtle towards the big 4-0 tick box like a freight train - I intend to keep my newly configured waist narrow, my breasts like those of a mermaid and my broad mind firmly in place with thanks to Dr Dan Marsh and his wonderful team at the Plastic Surgery Group (PS Group). As a fully registered GMC British Plastic Surgeon whom is a board member of BAAPS it didn’t take me long to find Dr Marsh. Then you discover his Instagram page. Let me tell you, if you’ve not checked it out as yet, you need to @dr_danmarsh. Go, Go, Go… My first thoughts were.. ‘what kind of sorcery is this!?!!’ I’m six weeks post op now and can confirm officially the results are very real. You get the very same rush 6 days post op when the PSG nurses remove your dressings for the first time and you witness Dan’s magic for yourself. Just like artwork. My waist pre-op was 39 inches due to severe diastasis recti which also turned out to be a small hernia too. At six weeks post-op I’m measuring in at 30 inches and counting as I still have a lot of lower tummy swelling… you do the math ladies.. What really caught my eye was his attention to detail, meticulous stitching and his honesty at consultation stage which is so reassuring. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I was 'over reacting' and that my tummy was just a normal ‘mum tum’ and that I ‘should’ just accept it. I knew my body wasn’t right this time and he helped me to understand why. Dr Dan is a really personable guy, he listens and is acutely aware of all the issues us ladies face especially post pregnancy. He is friendly, warm and extremely good at what he does. I was very nervous the day of my surgery but I trusted him completely which is imperative as you lay back and lose consciousness for probably the biggest surgery of my life thus far. Another reason I was drawn to Dr Dan and the PS Group was because I really liked their zero-fee consultation policy. This is not because Dr Dan's time isn’t worth a fee but because a surgery like mine is a big decision. Prospective patients should be able to get a second opinion or several to ensure the procedure and surgeon is the right one. This policy applies no ‘pressure’ to decide and doesn’t add hundreds and hundreds of pounds to something that is already costly to most. The policy is practically unheard of on Harley Street and for me it demonstrates an empathy and humility for the patients in his care. This type of integrity is rare, yet so important. I didn’t want anyone else to do my surgery. The PS Group are a small clinic which makes them unique compared to many of the giants on Harley Street; it really adds to their warm, family run feel. Ultimately it made me feel like I wasn’t just a number on a conveyor belt of surgery patients; quite the opposite in fact. The staff really have the professional but friendly manner down to a fine art. The practice is very relaxed, modern and trendy; it represents the company’s ‘personality’ and ‘approach’ beautifully. From start to finish my full ‘mommy makeover’ experience was well planned, tailored and timely. The different departments pass the ‘baton of care’ seamlessly; their nurses are exceptional – Louise in particular was always at the end of the phone or what's app. This type of post op care is so, so important after any surgery. I would say, it’s one the things PS Group do best. Fundamentally, its what people forget when they opt for surgery abroad. The Welbeck Hospital was also a fantastic experience. I had three nurses (Eva, Mary and Takesure) that attended to me day and night. The care I received straight after my surgery was really, really good. They made me feel comfortable, checked my wounds regularly and nothing was too much trouble. The nurses brought me delicious food at an ungodly hour as I was the last surgery of the day and woke absolutely famished. My room was large, comfortable and most importantly, very clean. Thank you, Dr Dan, Penny, Lucy and Louise. The service and results have been exceptional.

I had wanted a breast reduction for years and had carried out extensive research into who I wanted to perform my surgery. I chose Dr Dan Marsh who was incredible from start to finish. He is so approachable, professional and down to earth. He made me feel at ease and was realistic about the results I would get and answered my endless list of questions willingly. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Surgery day, I was so nervous and had to go to hospital alone due to Covid but he made me feel so comfortable. He’s a lovely surgeon who is incredible at what he does. I am so happy with my results. Dan has done an amazing job and you read so many comments that it is life changing but he really has changed my life for the better. I didn’t expect my results to ever be as good as they are and I never expected to love them. The scars are so neat and minimal, I wasn’t in very much pain at all and whatever question I messaged Dan with, he responded almost straight away himself. Very personal touch, you really can put your total trust in him. I would recommend him to anyone. 10/10 for every part of the process with him and his team. Thanks so much Plastic Surgery Group.

Dr Dan carried out my thigh lift and breast lift in January 2020 and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I like the whole PSG team, and the whole thing was easy. My thighs look incredible and I can honestly say that I have seen a LOT of thigh lift results online and I generally believe mine are the best around. Life changing. Thank you
