Brilliant Experience and Result with a Nervous Patient

The decision to have my implants removed after having them for 14 years was a really nerve wracking one. I was very reluctant to have a lift but also worried about trusting my decision and having a bad outcome. I'd had 2 previous surgeries I hadn't felt happy with and a very unsettling consultation with a surgeon who wouldn't consider anything other than a lift that left me rattled. I found it difficult to move forwards and my trust in surgeons was very low. I had put off having my implants removed for many years partly becuase of my low trust. Luckily, I met Chris and, despite my mistrust, he made me feel listened to and that he understood what my personal, subjective idea of a 'good outcome' was and helped me to make a decision collaboratively.

Chris talked me through the options I had and although I could have been a good candidate for a lift, he listened to me and agreed it wasn't definitely necessary and that we could evaluate after the explant. As it turned out, the results were better than I imagined or had been mentally preparing myself for and I couldn't be happier. I only wish I'd done it sooner. The experience was smooth and I felt well supported by the team from start to finish, my scars are very small and neat and I'm able to move on and not look back. A huge thank you to Chris and his team for everything.
