Former BAAPS President Rajiv Grover, who compiles the audit on an annual basis has released a statement saying that “The 2019 BAAPS audit is very positive from our point of view as it shows that whilst the overall number of procedures has dropped, the work we’ve been doing to educate about the life-changing implications of cosmetic surgery and the need to reflect carefully before taking this route is working. We’re seeing greater emphasis from surgeons on psychological assessment, as mental health awareness has taken centre stage both politically and in the news agenda which is so important when putting patient’s interests first.”

We agree with this statement and at The Private Clinic we always put patient’s well-being and safety at the forefront of what we do. We have also been doing a lot of research into non-surgical procedures to help patients reach their goals without having to commit to the downtime that surgery often comes with.

Other popular procedures in our clinic have included:

Breast Auto Augmentation

This procedure is becoming very popular with women who are seeking implant removal but still wish to maintain an uplifted and pert appearance following removal of their implants. A breast auto augmentation involves relocating the patients natural breast tissue and moving it upwards within the breast to fill out the upper pole.

Preservation Rhinoplasty

Preservation Rhinoplasty was another new additional to our procedure offerings in 2019 with Mr Dario Rochira pioneering the new rhinoplasty technique at our Harley Street clinic. The technique is a lot less invasive than traditional rhinoplasty surgery and involves a precise remodelling technique to change the structure of the nose without breaking the nose and preserving the nasal ligaments. A preservation rhinoplasty also boasts a decreased recovery time and minimal bruising and swelling making it ideal for patients who are not keen to hide away for weeks following surgery. Find out more here.

Teardrop Implants

Breast augmentations are still one of our most popular procedures at The Private Clinic however the desired goals of the patients have changed. Women are now seeking smaller and more natural shaped implants such as teardrop implants. We believe this simply is a sign of the times with lifestyles becoming more active and the trend of having larger breasts is now less desired in comparison to smaller and more in proportion breast sizes.

Mr Adrian Richards earns respected RealSelf Hall of Fame Award

by Leave a Comment

Consultant plastic surgeon at The Private Clinic, Mr Adrian Richards is one of 1,000 board-certified doctors to be inducted into the RealSelf Hall of Fame, an honour recognising the highest-rated and most active doctors on RealSelf.

RealSelf is a community-driven website that allows people who are seeking cosmetic procedures to anonymously interact with other people who are also interested in aesthetic procedures or have previously had cosmetic surgery themselves.  The site is a great way for potential patients to engage in conversations with both patients and surgeons in a helpful and safe environment.

Patients on RealSelf are able to learn more about cosmetic procedures,  share their stories, share before and after pictures, leave reviews, and even ask physicians questions.

Many patients who come to see us in our clinics mention that they have researched procedures of RealSelf so we feel it is a really useful and valuable resource for patients to look into. Of course, full consultations are not able to take place over RealSelf and we do advise that patients who are experiencing any worries or issues to contact the clinic they were treated at first before seeking advice from others who do not know their medical history and surgical background.

For eight years, the annual RealSelf 100 and 500 awards recognises doctors and surgeons with outstanding records of high patient ratings who have given back to the RealSelf community by providing credible, valuable insights in response to consumer questions about elective cosmetic treatments ranging from surgical procedures to minimally invasive technologies to cosmetic dentistry. For the first time ever, RealSelf celebrates the Hall of Fame, a culmination of eight years of recognitions made through the RealSelf 100 and 500 awards program.

For a surgeon to be included in the RealSelf Hall of Fame, they must have received a RealSelf 100 or RealSelf 500 award in the past. The program honours the top-rated and most engaged board-certified aesthetic doctors on RealSelf. Doctors are ranked in three categories: earning patient reviews, answering consumer questions, and sharing before and after treatment photos. In order to be recognized in any given year, doctors must maintain the distinction of Top Doctor or Top Contributor and uphold an average rating above four stars.

“I am very honoured to be recognised in this way and so proud to be included in RealSelf’s Hall of Fame. RealSelf is a great tool for patients considering many types of treatments and it is a website that I regard highly.” – Mr Adrian Richards

Mr Adrian Richards is available for consultations in Buckinghamshire, London Harley Street and Northampton. He specialises in breast surgery including breast enlargement, breast uplift, breast asymmetry correction, tuberous breast correction, breast reduction and implant removal and or replacement procedures.

Cosmetic Surgery After Sports Injuries

by Leave a Comment

Injuries in sports are unfortunately all too common, with the hitting, crushing and nasty falls associated with various sports. This blog post focuses on two frequently occurring injuries or consequences that can occur in a wide range of sporting activities – a fractured nose, and scarring, and your cosmetic surgery solutions for resolving these.

Nose Surgery after Sports Injuries

Nasal fractures are the most frequently injured facial bones, occurring through a variety of sports, such as boxing, baseball and rugby. And what can you do about it? Either immediately after trauma and before swelling starts, or in the first two weeks post trauma after swelling has minimised, the technique of Simple Closed Reduction can be used. This is where bones are simply realigned to their original position. Although, in some cases, this is not sufficient and surgery is required to align the bones properly. After trauma, patients should therefore immediately visit an emergency department or primary care provider, who will refer you to a surgeon who will evaluate and treat your injuries.

If you are after the two week stage, your bones have started to or have set and cannot be resolved with Simple Closed Reduction. There is a solution, however. Fractured noses that have not been set, badly displaced noses, and also those that have not healed sufficiently after being reset, may all be corrected with Rhinoplasty (surgical nose reshaping). Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure which can reshape the nose to reverse the effects of the injury on the nasal appearance, and if required, breathing. This is something our expert rhinoplasty surgeons can help with. If you have also been left with a deviated septum after trauma (when the septum has been displaced to one side), affecting nasal breathing, septoplasty could be performed simultaneously. Your surgeon will evaluate if this is required.

What happens in the procedure? In the rhinoplasty surgery, careful incisions will be made to access damaged or deviated impacted tissue, or any tissue obstructing the nasal airway, which can be discarded or repositioned. For some patients, grafts could be required for greater support. If the fracture is the result of a forceful blow, you may also have fracture of the cartilage, and the procedure would resolve your cartilage and bone injuries. Complex breaks could necessitate more involved surgeries. Your rhinoplasty procedure would be tailored to the severity of the trauma experienced, in addition to your functional and aesthetic goals – patients can also ask the surgeon to resolve other nasal defects, for example, a bulbous tip, bump along the bridge or oversized nostrils. Regarding the technique used, advanced open or closed surgery are both options available and your surgeon will assess the best method for your case.

For Rhinoplasty Surgery after sports injuries, we are able to offer renowned highly experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeons with specialist knowledge in reconstruction, who achieve outstanding results.

Scarring

Scars from injury are common in several sports, from boxing, soccer, skateboarding and cycling, which can lead to nasty cuts and scrapes, to hockey where the face is uncovered and left vulnerable to impact from sticks, pucks or people. And these scars are usually permanent. If the scar is troubling you, there are highly effective scar reduction options available.

For scars from such sporting injuries, Surgical Scar Excision may be the best option, which can reduce the size of or reposition scars. Available techniques for Surgical Scar Excision include the following:

  • Excision and Direct Skin Closure: This technique requires cutting out the scar, followed by drawing and stitching together the surrounding skin, to leave a much neater, new scar
  • Excision and skin grafting: The scar is cut out and replaced with a skin graft, taken from a healthy area of the body. The skin grafts can be either full thickness or partial
  • Excision and repositioning: This method again necessitates cutting out the scar, while changing its direction so it runs alongside a relaxed and natural skin tension line

At The Private Clinic, we will offer you medical assessment and scar treatment, within our state-of-the-art rooms for minor surgery, at one of our clinics nearest to you. You will be treated by some of the county’s most experienced surgeons and doctors, including top Consultant Dermatologists, who are all highly skilled in surgical scar excision, and have the ability to treat different severities of scarring.

Many clinics are unable to treat patients who have darker skin, due to the difficulty of delivering the desired results, or due a lack of the specific skills required. However, at The Private Clinic, our practitioners have effectively treated hundreds of patients, and have built up the required experience to achieve excellent results every time.

Why choose The Private Clinic?

With over 34 years’ experience in the cosmetic industry, and being voted as Best Cosmetic Surgery Practice UK in the MyFaceMyBody Awards, with The Private Clinic, you can have peace of mind you are in safe hands.

Where can I get my tribal earlobes repaired?

by Leave a Comment

The act of stretching your earlobe is nothing new or shocking and actually originates thousands of years back with ancient tribes and civilizations using body modifications such as ear stretching as part of their culture, religion, to enhance their beauty and for traditional purposes.

In modern western culture it has become increasingly popular with people of all ages and genders to stretch their earlobes. Despite the popularity of the piercing they do sometimes come with some negative aspects. Many complain that they feel their job options are limited because of the piercing and some patients complain of keloid scarring caused by the stretching of the skin.

In most cases if the ear was not stretched significantly then many can just take the plug out and the stretched ear will gradually shrink back to its normal size. If the stretched ear is too large then there is a point of no return and because of this there has been a growing interest in tribal ear correction surgery.

Tribal Ear Correction surgery is the act of correcting your stretched earlobe. It is a relatively straight forward procedure however the key to getting a good result is to make sure you see a fully qualified plastic surgeon.

Despite the original cause of the problem being self-inflicted the act of correcting it is still a surgical procedure and as such great care needs to be taken to ensure you are in safe hands and you achieve your desired results.

There are two options for fixing stretched earlobes. If you have a hole with a small diameter you may only require a couple of stitches but if the earlobe has been stretched larger than 1.5cm then in order to create the natural ear shape again, excess flesh may need to be removed before they can be reshaped and stitched.

When choosing earlobe repair we cannot overstate the importance of you consulting with a qualified surgeon who has experience in these kinds of repairs. You should find out how many earlobe repair procedures they have performed and if there have been complications. You should also be asking what the aftercare entails and what follow-ups you should be expecting especially if anything was to go wrong.

Everyone has a different ear shape and their ears will stretch differently in the process which means you should only be using a plastic surgeon to restore your ears in order to achieve a natural shape again.

Here at The Private Clinic we have over 30 years in the aesthetics industry and we have come to know that little imperfections can become bothersome over time. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the best specialised Plastic Surgeons to work with us and provide our patients with the best care available.

Earlobe Repair Consultations available at; Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, London, Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire, Northampton and Glasgow clinics.
