Joanna Skillman, MBChB, FRCS

Jo was so approachable and really listened to what I had to say, she explained everything clearly and I felt very safe in her hands. Follow up appointments reassured me that all was healing as it should do.
Thanks a million Jo

Joanna is a talented and wonderful person who honestly has changed my life. My relationship with my intimate area has been somewhat challenging; not only aesthetically, but practically I have felt a lot of discomfort and lacked a lot of confidence. Deciding to have surgery was life changing, and I believe finding Joanna was paramount to my journey and experience. She made me feel relaxed and listened to, she has a naturally kind and warm nature and is really easy to talk to, particularly about something so intimate. I am on week 4 of my recovery period post surgery and even though I am not even fully healed, I am over the moon with my results. I already walk differently as I am no longer in discomfort, and feel I am carrying myself with more confidence. I cannot wait to fully experience the difference this procedure has already made to my life. I’m even interested in underwear now! Joanna and the surgery exceeded my expectations. I often felt like nothing could be done and I would have to live with almost this feeling of shame about myself, but now I am started to feel free’d and proud. Thank you for everything you have done for me Joanna. Truly gratifying experience x

Jo performed upper blephoraplasty surgery on me and the results are absolutely wonderful! The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. I had a local anaesthetic for the procedure and Jo made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. She also gave me great tips for after care to reduce swelling and bruising so the healing time was minimised. I’ve had so many compliments and can't thank and recommend Jo highly enough.

The whole experience was fantastic, and the results of my arm lift surgery exceeded my expectations. It’s not even 2 months post-op and the scarring is minimal, very neat and incredibly discreet!

I cannot recommend Joanna enough. She was compassionate, caring and made me feel so at ease and supported throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation, to the procedure itself, recovery and follow-up appointments.

Not only very pleased with the results. Happy with the whole process from the initial consultation to the final post operative sign off. Jo explained each step of the process and made me feel at ease throughout. I've never had any procedure of this sort before and was quite nervous beforehand. I had no need to worry and would certainly recommend to others.

I'm 3 days post op, so far so good...I've not had much pain or discomfort. The only way I can explain it is like having a really big work out at the gym & for a couple of days after your stiff.
I haven't taken any painkillers since the day after the op.
I really was expecting more pain & discomfort.
When I woke from op I was drowsy & just needed sleep no pain at all I was numb to be fair. That night I didn't sleep much I could hear everyone's buzzers at the hospital I got up at 5 showed, couldn't do my hair it was stiff to stretch, got dressed & stripped my hospital bed. I was discharged by 9am & 10am I went to have my nails done. That evening I felt stiff & uncomfortable but it was bearable.found it hard to sleep so feeling tired.
Today is my worst day my stitches feel a little hot & had slight tingling feeling in my nipples. My ribs are sore & between my breast is really dull aches
I've been struggling to get comfortable to sleep at night I've now brought a v pillow & used this last night & I slept 11-5.30 so not bad.

My experience with Miss Skillman was from start to finish very professional; Miss Skillman & her team treated me with respect at all times; they listened to my issues & gave me full information regarding the surgery that I had requested, offering me options within their remit.

The whole team at Spire Southbank were pleasant & friendly ay all times.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery which has achieved the outcome I desired.

I can’t put into words what an amazing journey my surgery was thanks to this wonderful lady. Not only has Jo done a better job than I could of even hoped for, but she’s also one of the friendliest doctors I’ve met. I can’t thank you enough you’ve changed my life forever.

I booked my initial consultation with Jo after hours of research about breast enlargements. At my first appointment with her I knew straight away that I’d made the right decision. Jo put me at ease straight away with her friendly persona. Jo was able to talk me through all my different options, but advised on what was best for me to achieve my desired result, her knowledge is exceptional. Following my operation I am extremely pleased with my result, the end result is better than I ever imagined! Im finally in love with how I look. Jo has shown genuine care from the start, and truely has your best interests at the heart of what she does. Thank you Jo for everything you have done for me! Keep doing what you do so phenomenally well!

From my first consultation with Jo Skillman I knew I wanted her as my surgeon for my breast reduction. Her personable nature put me at ease and her experience gave both myself and my parents confidence that the results would be good.

My surgery went better than I could’ve ever imagined and I had no complications. I am already so pleased with the results at two months post surgery. Throughout the whole process I have been able to contact Jo easily with any questions or worries I might have.

I cannot recommend Jo highly enough.
