Nora Nugent, FRCSI (Plast)

Dr. Nora is a doctor I could speak to freely and just be myself.
She listened to my needs and achieved everything I expected.
In my case, I wanted to get a breast reduction from 30G, and Dr. Nora answered my prayers with a C cup.
Whenever I needed something, it was an email away and answered very promptly. Lucy, Dr. Nora’s secretary, was always there for me, and of course, the nurses at Purity Bridge.
All this to say that you’re never alone when you need answers, care and advice.
I am having a very speedy recovery, I’m in my 4th week since surgery.
I felt so secure before having the operation, so didn’t stress at all, all staff were so friendly, felt at home at Purity Bridge clinic, that is why I
decided to do the operation at the clinic rather than the hospital.
One of my pre operation concern was the amount of pain I might be experiencing after the anaesthetics wear off, which was next to nothing, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I managed it all on paracetamol and that, only for 3 days. I don’t know how Dr. Nora managed that with this amount of hacking and slicing, as she took out the equivalent of 4 cans of Pepsi.
One thing to consider before the operation to set up, really something that occurred to me just a few days after the operation and relates to my new sleeping regime which required me to sleep in an elevated position, although I was advised by the nurses to arrange a number of pillows in such a way to achieve 45degrees angle, I discovered that much better, for me at least, was on top of those pillows to put what would be like a small child’s foam mattress at this angle and sleeping on it was much better than feeling each individual pillow underneath. Much more comfortable.
Going back on appointments with Dr Nora feels like visiting a friend, she’s so warm and accommodating and easy-going.
I’m so happy having found her and very happy with my choice. I really do think that she hasn’t just met my hopes, she met my dreams of what I wanted to achieve with myself. I couldn’t recommend her enough, honestly my best clinical experience, the best experience of my life and I’ve been through a few, so I have some comparison frame of reference.
Best money I’ve ever spent. And all the doctor and nurses visits and care pre and post operation, are included in the operation price.
Looking forward to the rest of my journey with dr. Nora, she will always have my deepest gratitude.

Ms Nugent is truly a talented surgeon, and I couldn't be happier with my results! Her skill and attention to detail exceeded my expectations, and the outcome is absolutely amazing. From start to finish, she made me feel confident and at ease, explaining everything clearly and ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. Her team were equally fantastic—always responsive and informative. Their professionalism and care made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Ms Nugent to anyone looking for exceptional surgical results and top-tier patient care!

I had a bilateral breast reduction from Nora almost 9 months ago now, and I am so thrilled with the results. Despite the size of reduction, the scarring is minimal (some of my scars are barely visible, and those that are are minute and precise, really showcasing Nora's skill). Nora made me feel incredibly comfortable from the time of initial consultation, leading up to the surgery, and in the months since. She and the clinic (Purity Bridge) were always on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had, and the process itself was quick and efficient. I went from an H cup to a B/C cup, which has made my life so much easier every day! Thank you so much, Nora!

In early August 2021, I had bilateral breast reduction and lift with Dr Nugent at Purity Bridge clinic. Two months later, I was on a Greek island swimming in the warm sea, loving life again.

After three years of avoiding putting on a swim suit, I decided I was unwilling to give up something I enjoyed doing all my life. A thyroid problem combined with menopause plus a year of Covid lock downs played havoc with my body. I've always been fit and exercised regularly but this was not enough and I decided to turn to Dr Nugent for help.

From the pre-op appointments, the actual operation which did not include an overnight stay and the follow-up check ups, everything was professional, extremely well managed and of the highest standards. Dr Nugent is super talented. I love the end result and the fact scars are healing so well is a testament to her skills. Dr Nugent and her whole team are caring, making you feel safe and you know, you are in good hands. They listen, they communicate well and are very experienced.

For any women out there who have have lost confidence in their bodies, dread trying on clothes that no longer fit, have given up doing things they love and wish they could turn back the clock, I say go talk to Dr Nugent.

I am so glad I took the decision to do this and will for ever be grateful to Dr Nugent and her team. Getting my body back was such an incentive to stay fit, lose even more weight and embrace life once more. Who said we can't turn back the clock.

Nora has been amazing all the way through, from the first consultation where we discussed breast augmentation and she helped me choose a size through to the surgery and out the other side where her aftercare has been second to none.

She has been patient, kind and hugely informative... she really cares for her patients. The surgery was quick and the scars under my breasts are tiny and have not hurt at all. When I have had any questions she and her team are quick to respond. I highly recommend Nora and would happily use her for other cosmetic procedures should I need them.

Nora Nugent recognised the desperate situation I found myself in. She listened carefully and believed that the symptoms I was experiencing were real and helped me to have the quickest but also thoughtful and sensible removal of the implants. I always felt cared for to the highest level and the entire experience has been one that has left me grateful to her for showing great skill as a surgeon and compassion as a kind lovely person.

I had wanted this surgery for so many years, but kept putting it off. When researching breast surgeons I kept coming back to Nora, so felt that she was the right choice for me, and I was not wrong. Nora was so helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable with her at every stage. I had 100% confidence in Nora. I would recommend Nora to anyone considering surgery. I am so happy with the results. It really has changed my life and increased my confidence. I can’t thank Nora enough for her compassion and help when she had the job of telling me that breast cancer had been found in tissue removed. Thankfully it was early stage and I am fine now, but Nora was so kind and caring in an unusual situation.
Thank you so very much Nora, and also your Secretaries, who are also fantastic.
Nora also does follow up appointments upto a year after surgery, which I found no one else does!

Nora Nugent is an incredible surgeon who makes you feel at ease but more importantly your welfare/care is her top priority.
She also gives you realistic outcomes of what is possible and what it cannot achieve depending on your personal circumstances.
Understated talented surgeon !

I was very pleased with the work that Dr Nugent did. I had upper-eyelid surgery and a necklift. The pre and post information and communication was excellent. I was able to talk through exactly what I wanted and discuss my concerns. I had both surgeries done at once. The eyelid surgery was surprisingly pain-free. I was in some discomfort with my neck for a week after, but Dr Nugent called me several times to discuss pain-control and relief. This was very reassuring. I looked 'back to normal' after 2 weeks and went back to work.
I'm now 4 months post-op and delighted with the results. It has made a massive improvement to my appearance and also my confidence. I would definitely recommend Dr Nugent. Her work is excellent, as if patient care and after-care.

It’s now been 12 months since my breast reduction operation & I can honestly say that I’m so pleased I did it. My breasts have always been large (34FF) but, since having my kids, they had continued to grow to an enormous 34HH. I’m only 5’3, so looked completely top heavy but - more frustratingly - I was finding it hard to wear anything that fitted my top half. My posture was starting to suffer because my back was getting sore & I felt miserable. I gave myself a year to see if increased exercise would help things - I went to the gym, lost a bit of weight but frustratingly there was no real difference to my bra size. I was getting increasingly down about the whole thing & it was beginning to affect how I felt about my appearance.

I went to Nora Nugent after having researched a variety of different surgeons. I was keen to have a woman surgeon &, upon meeting Nora, I was so glad I did. She was approachable, kind but also so capable - she was very thorough in taking me through every step of the process & was happy to answer every question I had.

I had my surgery at the Nuffield in Tunbridge Wells & I couldn’t have been better looked after. The nurses there were attentive & Nora made a point of visiting me several times both before & after surgery which was hugely reassuring. Since surgery I have seen Nora regularly for check ups, which again has been hugely reassuring.

The surgery went well & I’m now a 34DD - the scars are fading & the overall look is, honestly incredibly natural. However, I would have been happy regardless of the scars - having smaller breasts has been life changing. I can run without it hurting, I can stand up straight, I can wear whatever clothes I want - even a bikini (!) - without feeling self-conscious.
