How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Botched boobs 6 months update
So there is some improvement to my botched boobs but obviously they still need further surgery given the shape, 2 cupsize size discrepancy.
I am waiting for my new surgeon to review my images to deliver the verdict on what he recommends to fix them. Fingers crossed its more positive news!

Botched Boob Job UK
So I thought I would share some comparison pics from day 2 & 1 week then 4 weeks and 3 month post op.
Don't be fobbed off by it will settle or you need to wait for post operative changes. You know your body and when it's gone wrong, you know! It's not in your head, your not crazy, your not being too fussy, difficult or inpatient and it's not OK!
I have completely had the mick taken out of me by my operating surgeon and the cosmetic surgery company that performed my surgery. Don't be me, check your surgeons reviews over at least 3 years (including before and after pics). Don't go to an independent surgeon through a third party company, only ever deal direct (or their own practice). If you have your heart set on a surgeon with a third party company, check the company out first. You can do this for free with their company registration number from their website by searching for their company registration details on the Government site, Companies House. Also, look at the company directors and what other companies they own (if applicable). What are their reviews like? These are the people you are dealing with for your hospital admission, aftercare and revision.
I will update with 6 month pics when my mum can next get to me. Then 9 months for revision with new surgeon, counting down the days!!! This could have been the best 6 months of my life, instead it's been the worst. I Massively regret my decision!

I wish I had booked surgery abroad rather than the UK
Following on from my original review I accepted the settlement/NDA with the surgeon/cosmetic surgery company in December 23. This was my only option as my surgeon refused to discuss revision unless I received a second opinion and the cosmetic surgery company refused to allow me to receive a second opinion unless I deleted all negative reviews.
Prior to accepting the settlement I was told by 2 cosmetic surgery companies and 1 surgeon that they would be prepared to take over my care at 6 months. Once I accepted the settlement and made further enquiries, they all changed this to 12 months. I received a second opinion from one of these surgeons on 30th Jan 24 (4month) who told me I require staged revision surgeries due to my left breast requiring reconstruction, he also advised me that I had an abnormal chunk of breast tissue that may may always now make my left breast look abnormal. I have since been seen at an NHS breast clinic, the chunk of tissue is cystic which is why it's still so painful and has been caused by the breast trauma. I previously had very small breasts, with no lumps ect.
The surgeon also told me that my right implant has flipped and is facing the wrong way round, which is why it so much smaller and underfills my breast.
I have now booked my first revision surgery abroad, which is for explant, reconstruction of my left breast, removal of capsules and full uplift. I will then need a second surgery to reaugment. The first surgery will have the same psychological impact as having my breasts removed as I have no breast tissue plus I will be covered with scars. If I had been taken back to surgery early on, my augmentation could have been corrected and I wouldn't be going through this!
I have cried everyday for the last 5 months, I am off sick now for a second time due to mental health and am having counselling arranged by my employer. I have 4 outfits that I can wear outside of the house that I feel hide the size discrepancy enough, so have been isolated for most of this. It's Mother's day soon and I cooking for my mum and sister as I don't want to go out of the house as I feel the lowest I have ever felt in my entire life.
I will never understand my operating surgeons motives and wish I hadn't trust him just because he was an NHS consultant. He specialises in breast surgery which I personally feel is questionable at this point! I have hidden my breasts for 16 years and had an augmentation to finally feel better about my breasts. My surgeon knew this and allowed me to wake up with both implants flipped, one breast torn and overall deformed in an appearance. It takes a special kind of evil to not only allow someone to wake up like this but to tell them it's normal and leave them like this knowing they can't even go to work and they are alone!
I was suppose to be returning to my career this year, that got put on hold as a lone parent and childcare. I now have another 2 surgeries to go through plus recovery which means I won't be able to even consider returning until 2025! I also wanted to start dating and can't! I am at rock-bottom and there are no repercussions for the surgeon or the company. My life was already so hard I didn't need it to be completely destroyed.
I personally wouldn't recommend anyone have cosmetic surgery in the UK based on my experience and knowledge of the lack of action that is taken by regulators and governing bodies. Its a false sense of security, we are no safer here than Turkey!
