BREAST LIFT TESTIMONIALS

Breast lift restored my youth

For a long time, I had been very conscious of my breasts and how badly I wanted a perky upright cleavage. I decided to search for a specialist and found Mr. Vadodaria. After booking a consultation, I met Mr. Vadodaria. He was so warm and welcoming in his manner, and put me at ease straight away. After explaining to him how I felt about my breasts and nose (I wanted revision rhinoplasty), he explained all the complications and risks in a straight forward manner, to make sure I was content with my decision. After the consultation I went home to have a think about what I wanted to do. I felt no pressure to book the surgery but I was sure that I had made the right decision. A few weeks later I had my surgery and I couldn’t be happier. My breasts are now so perky and I can wear any top I desire. My nose also is exactly how I wanted it. Mr. Vadodaria has a great bedside manner with his patient’s and makes sure they are given the best service possible.

Breast lift helped me regain my self-confidence

I have had issues with my breasts for a long time and my confidence was being affected. At 24, I didn’t feel like my breasts were how they should be as I had breast fed 2 children and they were sagging and I was ashamed of them. I was unaware how badly it was affecting my posture as well as my confidence but now I was desperate for something to be done. After my breast uplift I feel like a new person. I am more comfortable in my own skin, I want to show my figure off and it’s amazing to see, looking back at before and after photos just how much difference it has made to my posture as well as my confidence. I am so glad I did something about my breasts, I can’t imagine how I would be if I hadn’t had my uplift. Now I can fully love myself and my whole life has benefitted from it! I would recommend him to anyone wanting to have something nip, tucked or reconstructed. He will look after you and make sure that you get the best results. I would definitely go with Mr. Vadodaria if I want anything else done in the future.
