I offer plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and hand surgery from a skilled, experienced and compassionate Manchester consultant.
I recently had a breast reduction with Mr Rob Winterton, and I can honestly say the whole experience has been outstanding. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease with his approach. He was approachable, reassuring, and never once made me feel rushed (unlike some previous experiences I’ve had). He took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly, and after having two or three consultations with him, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. I’m so glad I made that decision. His office staff also deserve a mention – they are such a lovely, down-to-earth bunch and made the process even smoother. On the day of my surgery at the Alexandra Hospital, I was treated with genuine care and professionalism. There was a delay on the day, so I didn’t go down at my original time, but I was kept fully updated throughout, which really helped keep me calm. The room was comfortable, and the medical staff who came to check my details were also very pleasant and reassuring. As for the results – they are worlds apart from before, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m now around 7 weeks post-op, have already had two follow-up consultations, and will see Mr Winterton again at the 6-month mark. I’m absolutely delighted with the outcome and want to say a massive thank you to Mr Winterton and his team for their excellent care and expertise.
Following significant weight loss after a gastric bypass in Jan 2023, Mr Winterton was recommended to me for excess skin removal. The process was easy from start to finish, and Mr Winterton and his team were friendly, approachable and understanding. I had a combined mastopexy and fleur de lis abdominoplasty in Feb 2025, and am six months post-op. The recovery was smooth and uneventful and I very pleased with the results. The surgeon remained in touch throughout the recovery, and was always available by telephone/email for support.
I first went to see Mr Rob Winterton in May last year regarding a life-long, embarrassing condition, called gynecomastia. Rob and his team were highly professional throughout and put me at ease straight-away. Due to the severity of the issue, Rob warned me that surgery wouldn’t be straight forward and the end result, would incur scarring. He provided all the information I needed, over multiple appointments, to allow me to make an informed decision about whether the surgery was the right decision for me. I decided to go ahead with the operation in August last year and received excellent, professional and caring treatment. The following day when I was discharged, Rob ensured I had his contact details for any questions or concerns during the healing process. The aftercare treatment has also been fantastic, with Rob and his team always on hand for any queries I had, with frequent post op check ups to track the healing process. Now one year post op, I have been discharged from Rob’s care. I am so pleased that I decided to go ahead with this procedure and that I chose Mr Winterton. Thank you to Rob & team
From my first consultation with Rob I knew that he was the surgeon for me. Rob and his team are second to none. The care I received was professional, caring and reassuring. Before, during and after my surgery nothing has been to much to ask. Rob and his work has well and truly changed my life and I genuinely cannot thank him enough for that. Thank you to Rob and all the team
I had abdominoplasty and thigh lift with Rob in January 25. Rob was realistic about the type of surgery I’d need and the care was fantastic. The results have by far exceeded my expectations and the recovery has been very smooth
I'm 6 months out from my Tummy Tuck with Dr. Rob Winterton and honestly that has been the best decision I've ever made for myself. He was always very straightforward about risks and expectations on the consultations prior to the procedure. I felt informed, safe and motivated. The day of the surgery was brilliant, I was treated so well by all the staff and his team. Then right after surgery, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I finally felt like myself for the first time in my life. I've had a full tummy tuck, with liposuction and no muscle repair. My recovery was amazing, the scar is fading with time and I love my new belly button. Honestly, this has been such a great experience that 5 stars feel like not enough to rate him. I would give 10 if I could. 100 even. It's crazy how precise his work is. And I would never recommend a plastic surgeon more than I recommend Rob. Felt like I was in good hands from the beginning to the end. Updated on 13 Jun 2025: Updating to add the before and after photos. My tummy was always full, I had a pooch and I hated so much how that showed up on clothes. The results from my surgery have exceeded my expectations in ways I honestly can't even describe. I'm beyond pleased with how it turned out and excited to see after a year when the scar has faded more.
I chose Mr Winterton as a surgeon for my breast reduction because i could identify myself in his extensive gallery photos of his patient's 'Before' photos. Throughout every consultation he was professional and caring and I felt truly looked after throughout the entire process from beginning to end. I am THRILLED with my results! It has been a truly life changing experience and I would highly reccomend Mr Winterton as a surgeon for anyone interested in surgery - You are in capable, safe hands with him.
After meeting with three different surgeons, I knew the moment I met Rob that he was the one I wanted to perform my surgery. I had a full tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast lift, and from the very beginning, I felt completely at ease. Rob has a very personable, honest, and down-to-earth approach, with a great sense of humour that instantly puts you at ease. There was no hard sell, just a genuine conversation about what I wanted to achieve and what I could realistically expect from the results – and he was absolutely right. The entire process was smooth and professional, from the quick and easy booking to the exceptional care I received before, during, and after my procedure. I felt like I was in safe hands every step of the way. Special mention must go to Vicky and Alison – they were both lovely, incredibly attentive, and made the experience even more comfortable with their kindness and outstanding people skills. The aftercare was second to none, although I didn’t need much – I healed incredibly well. Rob was always available to answer any of my questions and even offered to jump on a call if I had any worries. His level of care goes far beyond the operating room – he genuinely cares about his patients and their journey. Now, a few months on, my results are truly amazing. The scarring is very discreet and continues to fade with each passing week. At 46, I feel like I have a body that’s 20 years younger! I’m so glad I chose Rob – he’s an exceptionally talented surgeon, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.
I came to my consultation with zero confidence and not really knowing what could be done. I'd done plenty of research beforehand on different surgeons and clinics and decided to book a private consultation with Mr Winterton. At the consultation I was immediately put at ease, felt comfortable and listened to! Straight away Mr Winterton talked through all my options - including a referral to the NHS so I wouldn't have to pay private fees! I decided to go ahead with the surgery and Mr Winterton was honest and realistic about what I could expect my results to be. My medical history is complex so I wasn't expecting a miracle, I just wanted to feel normal and enjoy time with my children without my huge tummy getting in the way! I was very nervous for surgery but the hospital staff were amazing and couldn't have done enough for me. My recovery was smooth and I had regular check ins from Mr Winterton himself. I can honestly say now; 6 months after my surgery, it feels like it has been a miracle. My scarring is neat and my recovery has been brilliant. I have found the whole team to be approachable and just genuinely caring, nothing is too much trouble they are so very helpful. This is the best decision I have made. I would recommend Mr Winterton and his team to anyone considering private health care. He has completely changed my life for the better. I am not held back anymore and I'm happy and content in my own skin. I wouldn't hesitate to contact the team again for any future consultations they have been outstanding.
I had lost a lot of weight and had two children by c section. I was so self conscious about my stomach, I couldn’t wear the clothes I wanted to and felt really uncomfortable. Rob talked me through all of the options and was able to advise me on best option considering what I wanted to achieve. Rob and his team went above and beyond with aftercare, I was able to contact them very quickly for all questions and they were all very responsive. I never felt that Rob was rushing me through, I felt that he always gave me the time to make decisions with no pressure. I liked his honesty and feel that as a surgeon he is realistic and safe in his practice. Thank you to Rob and the team, the surgery really has changed my life and confidence levels. My results were more than I could have hoped for, Jaime
Thanks foe the question! From the photos it isn't really apparent which side is droopy, which tells me that it isn't a very dramatic asymmetry at this stage. Sleeping on one side all the time can lead to differences in facial appearance over many years, but a good skin care routine can minimise this. Can you try sleeping on the other side at least some of the time?
To my knowledge, there isn't any good evidence for this particular treatment. While the risk of an adverse outcome is fairly low, the chance of a significant improvement is also fairly low. Sorry!
I think you would look great with either of the sizes you have selected, and both should avoid the "overdone" look. The difference between a 325cc and 350cc implant isn't so much, so I think you can be confident with either size. I would steer you towards the 350cc size though, as many women wish they had "chosen the larger size" after surgery, so choosing the 350cc implants will probably be the wise choice for you. Good luck!
This is a good question that many patients ask at around the 5-6 week time point. You look to have a nice result, with good scars, but there is definitely some residual swelling. The swelling is almost always above the transverse scar, so it gives you your current shape, but I would expect it to flatten as the swelling resolves over the coming weeks and months. Lots of people actually experience worse swelling around this time point, because it coincides with their activity levels returning to near normal. The other thing to consider is whether you have a discreet fluid collection (seroma) which may need draining. This is unusual with modern techniques, but I would suggest you book to see your PS for a review in person to check for a seroma and address your concerns. Good luck!
At one week post surgery, there will be lots of swelling and bruising which can distort the appearance of the chest wall, including the nipple areolar complex. You should wait until six weeks or so before evaluating the outcome, although things will usually continue to settle down for six months. If the problem does persist, it can be managed with open procedures to redistribute the fat behind the areola, or fat transfer. In my experience, these issues mostly resolve with time, and it is very rare to have to undertake revision procedures.
