Richard D. Price, MBBS, MD, FRCS(Plast)

Has anyone experienced this, I’m 7 days post op from 450cc implant removal, capsule removal and breast implant 750cc and I’m feeling so heavy chested and tight like I cannot breath when I walk. All is good with stitches and my boobs feel ok not hot or hurting I’m just so upset feeling of regret that I’ve spent so much money on too big an implant.
I wanted a natural uplift so suggested I go bigger to get this without uplift surgery and surgeon said the 755cc fitted well but I’m now panicking I’m made the wrong decision. Anyone else had this?

I have just recently in October 2020 had my second breast augmentation with Dr R Price. I cannot recommend him highly enough, his expertise and advice both times has made me feel very safe and relaxed that I would achieve what I wanted. I cannot thank him enough from start to finish alongside his team for their continued support!!!

I could not have wished for a better experience! I had previously been for consultations with other surgeons and felt uneasy. From the very first consultation I knew I had found a fantastic surgeon and through every step of the way Mr Price and his team were amazing. I am so happy with my results and they are even better than I imagined. I trusted Mr Price's expert knowledge and the results are exactly what I dreamt they would be. I have friends who have travelled abroad for cheap surgery and the difference in results is clear. I would recommend Mr Price to anyone considering surgery and should I need any other procedures in the future I will use Mr Price again. Thank you for the most amazing results and expert care!

I had my breast augmentation by Mr Price in October 2018, and I am extremely happy with the entire process. From my initial consultation right through until my follow up appointments, I always felt cared for and looked after. Mr Price made sure that all my needs were met, and I felt like he tailored everything specifically for me. I had worried that I could end up with a “standard procedure” but every step of the way my body type, thoughts and opinions were carefully considered - which has given me a great outcome. Any worries or questions I had were quickly answered, and I really appreciated Mr Price’s kindness and professionalism throughout. My end result is very subtle and natural (which is exactly what I had wanted), my scars are healing really well and the recovery/aftercare has been great. I couldn’t recommend Mr Price more to anyone considering surgery.

Amazing every time. This man is a genius and an artist and seems to instinctively know what I want. I’ve known him as a patient for 3 years and have never had a single problem. I’ve always been overwhelmingly satisfied. Thank you Mr Price, continue doing the amazing job you do!

Having had initial appointments with one or two other surgeons, I knew as soon as I met Mr Price that I would be happy with him undertaking my breast reduction. He was very approachable and extremely professional. He allowed me to meet with his anaesthetist to discuss my ongoing medical conditions before I had even decided to commit to the procedure, and they both made me feel very confident in my decision to go ahead. Mr Price and the nurses at the Nuffield in Cambridge were always on hand to deal with the few minor niggles after surgery, and I always knew that it would not be a problem to get an appointment to see them. Mr Price has made it clear that, should I need to, I can still contact him with any worries and I am now 4 months post-op. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome, which I can honestly say has transformed my life. Not only am I so proud of my size and shape, I no longer have to wear hammocks and the backache and rashes have disappeared. I now wear clothes that fit me, and people have been commenting on how good I look (even those that don't know about my reduction). I highly recommend Mr Price, who made a potentially scary and difficult journey very easy. I cannot thank him enough!

I had surgery to uplift my breasts. Mr Price was an amazing surgeon with outstanding results. His humour and knowledge was 2nd to none. Very matter of fact which resulted in confidence in him & staff

Richard Price is very professional at all times, open and explains all into detail. Gives his support not only before, during the operation but also afterwards, even after the year. His job is incredible.

I started noticing at the beginning of last year that the skin on my neck was getting loose and I tried to ignore it at first then tried unsuccessfully to cover it with scarves etc, and then decided to just accept it. I then lost some weight during that summer ( about a stone) and it took its toll on my neck even more and on my face, all of a sudden I had jowls. I realised then that I couldn't live with a face I no longer recognised as me. Leading up to surgery I was very worried but I found the whole procedure painless with minimal discomfort. Anyone out there wondering whether or not to do it, my advice is go for it, I haven't had any regrets whatsoever.

A few people have asked me recently if I'm still happy with my face/neck lift 6 months on, so I thought I'd take another photo just as an update. I must say that I'm still really happy with the outcome.

29 year old mother of a two and six year old. I'm 5'4" and weigh approx. 145lbs. I have wanted this surgery for quite some time now and recently (6 weeks ago) decided to schedule it. I am an avid runner and I found that the more I ran and the more weight I lost, the worst the loose skin was around my belly and my boobs looked like deflated balloons!

First day and half of 2nd day pain was tolerable, I am now three days post and the pain is worse than day one! Will post more pics soon!

I had to lay in bed still until the pain of morning boob subsided and nearly peed my pants! Lasted about an hour and a half! Any tips or suggestions on dealing with this?!

Despite the title, I am actually feeling really good; meaning I am able to do light house work, take my kids to school etc. I am just so over this swelling! I have YET to enjoy my tummy tuck, I've only seen it swollen! :-( I drink plenty of water and limit my sodium intake. I look in the mirror and ask myself why did I do this!! Ok, phew had to vent, now let me back up a few days.

Saw my ps on po day 9 and he took off all bandages and was really thrilled with my scars and how they are moving along. My bb is still a work in progress because he used a different technique, it looks like an open wound but he says it looks really good. My incision is pretty low, my swimsuit covers it :-) just really wish this swelling would go AWAY! I am standing about 90% upright now and back pain is gone.

Now on to the boobs...I am really pleased with them and they have dropped a lot and are taking form more and more everyday. They are a bit tender. I tried on my 36D(UK) swimsuit top and was busting out of it! Yah!!

Posting some pics, happy healing and best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries!

After losing 9st/ 126lbs (pic is 8st/112lbs), a vigorous (and addictive) exercise schedule started to try and tone up my flabby, post pregnancy, weightloss body! Unfortunately nothing shifted my tummy so surgery was my only option. After searching for PS's and asking others for advice I found one who is also works in the NHS and is registered with several notably Plastic Surgeon boards - of which one he had to be invited to join.

I attended an open evening which allowed me to get to see his work and his attitude to his work - this was a good experience that allowed me to make an informed choice about who, where and whether I was doing the right thing.

After an initial consultation and question asking I booked in!

Fast forward to 11 days post op and I have definitely done the right thing.

Just wanted to share some photos from the day after my tummy tuck and muscle repair. As you can see, I'm smiling (well smiling-ish!), I'm also standing up with only a little hunch (mainly from muscle tightness rather than worrying about splitting everything!) and I'm mobile. These were taken less than 24 hours after the op and I was out of hospital that evening. The drains were removed before I left.

We all know that photos can tell 1000 things so I also want to tell you about how I was feeling at the time. I was still quite spaced out and tired from the GA, although feeling a lot better than the night before where I experienced a lot of nausea and just couldn't eat or drink. I was administered fluids via IV as well as antib's. I got up at about 3am (12hrs ish post op) to go to the loo - nothing - but was glad I'd got over the 'barrier' of getting out of bed - my PS had warned me to make sure i had a nurse with me as he didn't want to be stitching my head up after falling over or out of bed! The nurse gave me advice on the best way of getting myself out of bed, she also reassured me that I would have to do something quite extraordinary to do any damage to my scar at that point! Between then and the next time I got out of bed I tried to drink as much water as possible as I was starting to feel a lot better - IV'd fluids were removed - I was also worried that pee'ing would become a problem! Finally, at about 10.30am, I got out of bed and went for a wee - and what a pathetic job I made of it - I didn't quite realise how much I relied on my stomach muscle to help me pee!! haha! Pain-wise, I was taking Codine, Tramadol and paracetamol every 4 hours - I couldn't feel a thing where my scar was - the most painful thing was where my left drain went in and up too - causing me discomfort from the moment I woke from my GA (enough for me to be administered morphine 3 times until I reached the maximum dose I was allowed). I would say this is all still true now 13 days post op.

So... here it is, my before (which I am still very embarrassed about photo) and 14 dpo comparison photo!! I sent it to a very close friend (who is considering a mini tt) via text and she sent back the funniest text full of swear words, completely out of character for her! She was in shock - I did warn her that if she had any doubts about having a tt this would make up her mind for her! I think it is amazing transformation and can't believe what an amazing job my PS has done for me! I can now see how he removed nearly 5lbs of skin/ fat!!

For comparison: If you look at the right hand side of my tummy in the before photo you can see four moles above my belly button, in my 14dpo one the same four moles are below my belly button - a-ma-zing!! I am in shock!!

Just to clarify, I had a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening. That's all! I think you will all agree that my PS did an amazing job!

I will try to do these for tomorrow! X
