I began my journey after having had 2 children within 18 months, breastfeeding them both and loosing a lot of body fat. My pre baby 34DD bust had disappeared and left me with ‘tea bags’. I couldn’t look at them without cringing. My partner didn’t see my naked anymore. I started researxhjnf implants. I stumbled over b lites and began to research these in particular. These were what I wanted. I won’t go into detail on here but the science behind them was a lot more appealing to me than normal implants. I booked my consultation with Mr Inglefield. I had also researched consultants/surgeons and knew he was the man I wanted to see. He had a waiting list but all the best will! My consultantion was a dream we had to take our 2 children, none of the staff were fussed at all and helped us to eneretain them. Mr Inglefield made me feel so comfortable. We agreed on a size 360cc and he said he would do my 3D imaging and get it emailed to me. I couldn’t wait to see the images. I decided at this point I was going to book for the surgery. Again of course there would be a waiting list only natural. I booked for around 3 months time and paid a deposit. Eeekkk journey began. I had many questions that I put to Hannah the receptionist she is fantastic replies quickly always so helpful. We went down for my pre op on 18th Dec I had an MLD therapy which is all involved in the total cost. Amazing experience with Lynsey the therapist. Very friendly and professional made me feel very relaxed. Laura the nurse again amazing, friendly, professional and really reassured me about the procedure and set me up for the next day. I was first on the list just like I had requested! Amazing. From the minute I checked into Queen Anne medical centre I was treated so well by all. Theatre staff, anaesthetist, Laura and Mr Inglefield all made me feel confident in them. I quickly went to the theatre had my ‘large glass of malbec’ Next thing I was waking in recovery. I was shaky at first it soon passed and I began sips of water and some food. I felt amazing considering. I was discharged after a total of 4.5 hours!! How amazing!! Mr Inglefield came to see me said surgery went great and that he was happy. I felt happy too. I travelled a long way home 3 hours. No pain no discomfort. Arrived home dreading what the night could bring. I have just woken up from a great nights sleep, no pain slight pressure. Laura has called to check up on me and like I say I feel great considering. Maybe things will change but for now I am over the moon!! I am yet to shower I will do that shortly, but I can honestly say I am so glad I trusted my gut when choosing my implants, surgeon and clinic. I feel I have been treated with the up most respect. I have not one negative thing to say. I know my journey is not complete but so far I can not fault anyone or anything involved with my choice of provider. I am really happy with everything. Updated on 21 Dec 2018: So day 2 of b lite implants. Still can’t get over the lack of discomfort let alone pain. I must be one of the lucky ones. I am so pleased with my results already. I had a shower last night and can feel swelling around the sides of both breasts, neither of which appear bruised though. My partner helped me undress as was worrying over moving my arms around too much and he said they look great already too. Really happy. I found when I was researching blites that there wasn’t many reviews that’s why I have decide to document my journey however I am not a very good story teller so I apologise. Updated on 23 Dec 2018: So today is the start of day 4. I can honestly say i haven’t even noticed the fact I’ve had surgery. I am taking my medications provided by the hospital but I haven’t taken any pain killers not even paracetamol for 2 days now. I haven’t had to use any of the tramadol provided at all. I have been doing as instructed and not lifting arms above chest or lifting. My partner has the 2 weeks off so he is tending to little ones who are 2.5 and 1 years old. I am able to do everything with them bar lifting them so hasn’t impacted my family life much at all. I had a shower this morning and they look great. I will take a photo later they are already looking so good. Really really happy with my results already. Updated on 23 Dec 2018: The only negative about the surgery was the way my bowels reacted to anesthetic. I had not even needed the toilet although eating and drinking plenty since the day of op which is now day 4 post op. I took some mild laxatives on day 3 and this morning day 4 they seem to have done the trick and can most certainly feel some movements in my tummy. So all is good. Just be prepared with lots of fluid and fresh fruits and veg as I believe it is quite common for bowels to get a bit lazy due to anaesthetic. Updated on 24 Dec 2018: No changes so just uploading a pic. Day 5 post op. 2nd MLD therapy today. Was very relaxing. More swelling to left breast than right. Hoping this starts to slowly dwindle down after MLD. No pain. No discomfort. Am still sleeping 45 degree I find it comfy. Not sure it’s beneficial at this stage though. Updated on 2 Jan 2019: Just left LBPS after having had dressings removed and my last MLD. Another wonderful experience. My new boobs look amazing I’m so so happy. Also had my last MLD with Lynsey was as relaxing and enjoyable as the first, thank you Lynsey for being very reassuring and professional. I’m sad I won’t be having another MLD treatment. The right breast has dropped more than the left and has less swelling. I’m not at all concerned after all I’m only 2 weeks post op, my experience still remains extremely positive. I have experienced minimal pain and minimal bruising and can honestly say I’ve been worried about how normal I feel but I know it’s just down to the experience, professionalism and passion for their work that each and every person I’ve crossed paths with at LBPS has. I’m so glad I did my research and choose to have my surgery here. Amazing.
It is with great sadness that I have to detail my dreadful experience with this deeply unethical organisation. I’ve had a fair few surgeries over the last 15 years and this is, without doubt, the worst experience I’ve had. My hairline lowering surgery had been organised for many months, but as the date drew near, I found it impossible to pay my final amount. Getting through on the phones or getting any kind of response by email was impossible. Finally, 3 weeks before the surgery, I was panicking and desperately trying to get in contact, as I hadn’t had my pre-surgery zooms and no-one had given me any information. When I could finally get through on the Friday evening, I was at last informed that the hospital had cancelled the surgery - a LIE. When emailing the hospital, I got a very quick response on the Monday morning telling me that they had no idea the surgery had even been cancelled and would look into it for me. I found out from the hospital that LBPS had cancelled my surgery. When I was able to finally speak to someone at LBPS, I was told that there had been an Instagram live saying that all Friday afternoon surgeries had been cancelled. Apparently, I was supposed to psychically know my surgery was in the afternoon and to keep track of LBPS’s instagram at all times - ridiculous and so unprofessional. I told them I wanted a refund and they agreed. Weeks and weeks and weeks, so many weeks, have passed, no reply to my emails and they no longer pick up the phone when I call. I tried on Friday for 40 minutes to get a response. When I called from a withheld number, they answered immediately. Cue more LIES and excuses about Cameron being really busy (he’d only had 5 weeks to process the refund…), he’ll phone you back asap blah blah blah. More LIES. It seems that dishonesty is threaded throughout the organisation. Everyone I have had contact with has lied and made excuses for not performing their role properly. I also find it extremely concerning that their main target audience is one of the most stigmatised minority groups (they also operate as the London Trans Clinic). There are so many other doctors in London that do these surgeries and whose teams are respectful. You don’t need to waste your time and raise your blood pressure dealing with lies and disrespect. If you do decide to use them, please ensure you have a solicitor, media contacts and a patient advisory group to support you and call from a withheld number (don’t bother emailing). I am currently in contact with a solicitor in order to get my money back. I’m just glad I didn’t go through with the surgery. Having an operation is stressful enough without dealing with a group of people who care so little for patients that they don’t even bother to respond to you, give you the information you need or at the very least feign professionalism.
I received scar revision surgery by Mr Christopher Inglefield when the bandage was removed I noticed a dimple around the scar. I questioned this and I was told by Mr. Inglefield “it will go” However after many years it has not gone. I tried to book an appointment and was repeatedly asked to pay £200 for a consultation despite my circumstance. I was eventually seen without charge after many emails and the threat to report to the General Medical Council. During the consultation Mr Inglefield said “I don’t know why it hasn’t gone” and then told me I should have an Xray to see if there is something going on with the bone! I was asked to pay more money for tests and I was been told to go to the Nhs! The next day, I was told by email from the clinic manager “Mr. Inglefield does not feel it’s related to your scar revision” I was also denied my file which contained before and after pictures which would clearly show I didn’t have the dimple before the scar revision. From my research this occurs when the skin is too tightly stitched. If considering going with this clinic I would advise keeping a copy of all pictures and payment records. Also, I was offered my original treatment money back but even that was £200 less. I couldn’t accept it as the new problem would cost me more to fix! I have reported this doctor and the clinic to various health organisations.
Well my project of going under the knife to have a nicer face had to be postponed because I got pregnant. So 4 months now after having my baby, I'm starting again to evaluate my options. I contacted Dr. Capitan from Spain, they gave me an updated quote. I will see Dr. Noorman next month again. This week I book a consultation with Dr. Inglefield from London Bridge Plastic Surgery (I hope it's worth cuz i paid £250). Anyway I will keep my expectations lower. I just wish I could go to Spain but it's almost impossible. They said I would have to stay 14 days there! In Belgium around 4 days. It would be easier to have the surgery in London. Well let's see. I already spoke with 2 top surgeons in this field in Europe: Dr Noorman and Dr Capitan.
