After years of dreaming and wishing I could one day have breasts I was comfortable and confident with, I finally decided to make some enquiries into breast augmentation. After my first consultation with The Harley Medical Group and sorting out financing it suddenly dawned on me that this could actually happen - for real, not just a far off dream! I was assigned Mark Solomos and immediately started researching him online, I saw the negative reviews but reading between the lines of a lot of them I felt that they weren't ever about his outcomes but purely about his bedside manner/rudeness. It sounded a lot like people who had been expecting their egos to be stroked and were annoyed when they just got a matter of fact chat and not someone interested in molly coddling them. I decided to go ahead with my meeting with him and decide for myself and I can tell you it was the best decision I ever made. Mark is perhaps not the most flowery person in the world with his words, but he tells you as it is, is totally straight talking and gets right to the point. I was in and out within 10 minutes of chatting to him and trying on one size of implants. Again after this appointment I had a mild panic, in the weeks leading up to my surgery I worried I hadn't tried on enough sizes to compare them, Mark had picked a size for me and I'd been overjoyed with the look of them but I hadn't tried anything else on to compare, was this a mistake? Did he really know what I wanted? I called my nurse at HMG (Brighton Clinic, also highly recommend) and discussed my worries with her and she offered me another appointment to try on different sizes, but she did tell me that she had had her own breasts done with Mark only 8 weeks ago and he had picked her size in much the same confident way and she said she loved them and he had been 100% right. She told me that the staff within HMG all call him "God" and that 4 of the women in the Brighton Clinic have all had their breasts done by him (ranging from ages 20-50's!) which gave me back my confidence in him, after all if you work in the industry and could have your pick of surgeons and they all picked him he must be good! She explained to me how and why he chose the sizes of implants he did for me and he chose anatomical implants as I was so small to start off with to give a more natural look and after our chat I was happy to go ahead with his decision and trust him. Again, this was the best thing I could have done. I had my surgery in October 2015 at Highgate Hospital and it was absolutely fine, Mark popped in briefly before my surgery to draw all over me (as they do!) and again this was brief and to the point but his confidence in his ability is absolutely founded on his amazing results!! Nearly 5 months later and this is truly THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. I am SO happy with my results, I have perfect perfect natural looking perky 32C breasts I could have only dreamed of and I LOVE them! My scars are tiny (2-3 inches) and in the perfect crease and fading amazingly. The shape and size of the implants of exactly what I wanted, Mark got the sizes spot on (I had to have 255cc and 300cc because my chest is a bit wonky and I worried they'd look different but they're perfect!) And if I ever have plastic surgery for anything ever again, I shall be coming directly to Dr. Mark Solomos because he really is amazing at his job and his seeming occasional cockiness is totally founded on his high quality results. At the end of the day I don't need my surgeon to spend hours with me comforting me, I need him to be amazing at surgery, and his results speak louder than words ever could! If you are thinking of having a breast augmentation with Mark Solomos and hesitating due to any negative reviews you've read on his personality - don't think - just DO IT! You wont regret it!

Hi,
I am also living in London, and thinking of having the same size you had at the Harley St Practice. Im shopping around a bit, and wondering how much your procedure was, if had it over or under the muscle and if you got tear drop or circular? Thanks for any information - so hard to find people who didn't get DD's! Thank, Julia

Hi Julia! Through Harley Medical Group my procedure was £5500 in total. The surgery, consultation and deposit were £4995 and I got the anatomical pear shape implants which are an extra £500 because they're more specialised. I thought long and hard on this decision as I had read mixed reviews on the anatomical implants but a lot of the negative reviews are by American surgeons who have very little experience with the pear implants as they've only just made their way into that market, and they are more specialised to put in correctly. But my surgeon, Mark Solomos, has used them a lot and has wonderful natural looking results using them. I was tiny before (like, not even a 12 year old boy!) so had NO breast tissue pockets of my own, so we went with the anatomical implants to avoid them looking too "round" and fake and it was a great decision I'm really happy. I went for 255cc and 300cc (as my chest is a bit wonky) and have come out a 32C when I recently got professionally measured! In some shops I have found I am a D cup in bras but every shop is different, same as with clothes I can now fit anything from a B to a DD :) but measurements wise I am a C. I also went under the muscle to make the implants look more natural and I am very glad I did. If you are very petite to start with it really does give the best results, although WOW your chest muscles feel superrrrrr stretched and tight for a long time as they slowly get use to the new position of being a few inches away from where they were before haha! Good luck! If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask!! :D

Hi
July 14, 2016
I'm just wondering how the procedure cost you so much? i had my consolation yesterday and was told the total price would be £3990 with everything included i.e after care etc.
Is there hidden fee's?
July 14, 2016
Hi! The only extra charge is if you choose the more expensive anatomical implants which are £500. I don't know why you've been quoted £3990 unless you're with a different company to me? I had my procedure through The Harley Medical Group.

Hi Venice,

I'm so reassured reading your review, as I am having the same surgery with Mark in 10 days. I was feeling quite panicky about his brisk bedside manner, but reading your review and the way you felt and wanted a second consultation - I felt like I was reading my own words! Can you tell me a bit about your recovery period? Did you sleep propped up on pillows for two months - I've been told I should do this as can be very sore, and also not to sleep on my side. How long was it before you felt like you could go back to 'normal' everyday life things....? Thanks so much in advance for your help - it's so so nice to read things from someone who has gone through exactly what you are about to go through.

Hi!! Funnily enough I recommended a friend to him who is having her breast aug and nose done by him tomorrow! In recovery you do have to sleep propped upright for 2 months, this was particularly hard for me as my favourite sleeping position is face down like a starfish ;) But it is so important to the healing process to make sure the implants don't heal in the wrong place, as much as your body wants to roll over its like your subconscious is aware of how important it is and you stay in place! I had quite an extreme change, I was completely flat (like almost concave) before so it was a big stretch for my muscles and skin, I felt useless for a good couple of weeks. I had absolutely no natural breast tissue so Mark had to create pockets for me within my muscle (I went under muscle) so my poor arms and chest were particularly sore. You can go back to normal after about 2-3 weeks I'd say dependant on how you heal personally, but no strenuous things like hoovering (or grating cheese!) for a while! It is SO one hundred million percent worth it though, I am 2 1/2 years on and they are still a joy to me every day and they just keep getting better and better as time goes on :) Honestly, best of luck with your procedure, you won't be disappointed!! (He is a genius!)
