Breast Augmentation – Lucy

July 20, 2018 by

Lucy aged 24 decided to enhance the size of her bust with a Breast Enlargement with Mr Adrian Richards at The Private Clinic.

Lucy had been doing a lot of research before deciding to go ahead with her Breast Augmentation surgery. Through her online research Lucy discovered that there was a clinic local to where she was living at the time so decided to go along for a consultation with Mr Richards where she was able to find out more details about the procedure as well as being able to ask any questions.

Lucy found the consultation very reassuring and instantly felt like she had the found the surgeon that she wanted to work with.

“All the staff at the clinic were so friendly and I felt like no question was too big or too small or too silly everyone was just super friendly and it was great!”

It was a few months after her initial consultation before Lucy decided to visit The Private Clinic again to have a sizing appointment with one of the nurses. This appointment was a great way to Lucy to be able to try out the different sizes of implants and discuss the different profiles, types and placements that would be most appropriate for her to achieve her desired results.

Lucy’s breast enlargement procedure took place at our London Fitzroy Hospital. Arriving a little nervous, Lucy was made to feel welcome by all the staff at the clinic and was seen by Mr Adrian Richards again before going into theatre to go through everything again and ask any last minute questions.

Waking up after the procedure Lucy felt both excited and relived that it all over. She left the hospital on the same day with plenty of painkillers which allowed her to have a comfortable and pain free recovery period.

“There was some soreness and discomfort initially but this was easily managed with painkillers that I was taking regularly. Now 4 weeks on I am not experiencing any soreness or discomfort at all.”

Lucy works as a social media influencer, regularly posting photographs modelling clothes. She wanted to be honest with her following and decided to get them involved with her breast augmentation process by posting a series of videos online.

“I was a little bit nervous about being so open about having a Breast Augmentation but I actually found that so many girls were in a similar situation to me. I had girls coming to me for advice and supporting my decision. It was really lovely that so many people had reached out to me and it was almost like I had formed a little support group.”

After her procedure, Lucy is feeling confident and happy with her results. She had an initial worry about what they were going to feel like but was more than happy to find that they felt natural and almost like she’s always had them.

“My experience with The Private Clinic has been absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with my results so I would highly recommend them”

Breast Reduction – Emily

April 5, 2017 by

Emily is 22 years old and had a bilaterial breast reduction with Medical Director, Mr Adrian Richards at the Shelburne Hospital.

Watch Emily’s video and find out more about her reasons for deciding on surgery and how it has changed her life.

I don’t have any body hangs ups now, I feel very confident again and can wear whatever I like.

Emily had always struggled with the size of her large breasts as they weighed heavily on her back.  This impacted on her enjoyment of taking part in certain sports and choosing clothes to wear.

She spoke with many people before deciding on the surgery to make sure she got lots of information and advice.  The team at the Paddocks clinic in Princes Risborough made her feel calm and relaxed and she feels she made the right decision for her.

Varicose Veins – Jen

January 17, 2018 by

Jen had been feeling insecure about her legs for a long time but since she noticed varicose veins starting to appear she has felt even worse as no amount of diet or exercise was going to reduce the appearance of them.

“For every girl displaying their perfect pins on Instagram, there’s me hoping they don’t show or hiding them away.”

Jen had varicose veins on both of her legs with her left knee being the most prominent, this was the one she wanted to focus on first with the aim of getting her right leg treated too if successful.

It wasn’t just the physical appearance of the veins that bothered Jen. She found herself feeling uncomfortable and her legs feeling heavy if she had spent the day on her feet. Jen also experienced itching and discomfort around the vein on a regular basis too.

Jen initially went to see her GP to try and find out the cause of her varicose veins but the usual causes did not apply to her which left her feeling even more helpless.

“It’s usually related to pregnancy, being overweight (sure, I’d like to lose a few pounds but not so much so that I would fall into this category) or spending a lot of time on your feet. None of which apply to me and can’t be the cause. So why it’s happened to me, I don’t know.”

Although Jen tried not to let her varicose veins determine what she did and didn’t feel comfortable wearing she did find; especially in the summer months her fear of wearing a dress without tights particularly frustrating.

“You won’t find me in a short dress that exposes them (not without tights) jeans or trousers are usually my friend. Which has made heatwave dressing a challenge!”

Jen decided that the time had come to finally do something about her troublesome varicose veins and came to visit us at our Harley Street Clinic to find out more about our range of varicose vein treatments including EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation).

“I met with Mr Rittoo who immediately made me feel at ease. He explained the procedure and that it’s a fairly simple and quick – It’s walk-in, walk-out so minimal drama around it.  Which is good, I am of course nervous – as I think is normal having any sort of medical treatment really. But overall I’m really excited. I know I’m in great hands with The Private Clinic who have a long history of treating varicose veins.”

Jen went ahead with an EVLA procedure to treat the underlying causes of varicose veins and a micro phlebectomy to treat the visible branch varicose veins.

“Mr Rittoo – who saw me for my consultation, operation and follow up – plus his team were all fantastic. In particular the nursing staff too, who were very caring and comforting when was having a bit of a nervous wobble on the operation table.”

The procedure itself doesn’t take long and Jen was able to leave the clinic shortly afterwards once she was feeling ready to do so and soon enough Jen was back to work and her usual activities although taking a bit easier than usual of course.

“No-one would have noticed had I not mentioned it myself”

Jen is now four months post-procedure as is feeling really happy with the results of her EVLA treatment and despite some incision marks still being visible she is much more comfortable about exposing them.

“I am really delighted when I look at my leg and no longer see the varicose vein there that made me feel so insecure. I can’t wait until next summer when the small incision marks that remain will hopefully be all healed and I can wear shorts without feeling like an awkward turtle.  I would 100% return to The Private Clinic for the same treatment again and would trust them to take good care of me for that second leg.”

Tummy Tuck – Esther

April 3, 2017 by

Esther is 55 years old and had tummy tuck surgery with The Private Clinic.

Watch Esther’s video and find out more about her reasons for deciding on surgery and how it has changed her life.

I wear my jeans with confidence now as I have a flat stomach.  It’s really changed my life.

Esther had previously had a number of surgeries for medical reasons which left her with scars on her abdomen.  She felt unhappy with their appearance and the excess skin on her tummy.

Esther did lots of research on her procedure and on her surgeon.  She visited  our Harley Street clinic three times prior to deciding to progress to surgery.  She feels so much better about her body and can confidently wear a bikini on the beach and feel happy that the scars that impacted her so much are no longer affecting her.

Breast Augmentation – Vicky

July 20, 2017 by

Vicky is a blogger for the BikiniGirlsDiary, personal trainer and writer and her lifestyle focuses heavily around fitness and health.

Vicky first considered breast augmentation after her first fitness bikini competition. Training for the competition involves training hard in the gym to drop body fat and follow a strict macronutrient based diet. The work in the gym, despite earning her a high place in the competition also meant she lost a lot from her already small chest.

Vicky was originally a small B cup but after training and dropping body fat she found herself being sized as a very small A cup.

“I’d managed to push myself to achieve my fitness goal and into the strongest and most impressive shape of my life so far, but, yet when I looked down at my chest all I saw was ribs. I had the shape of a flat chested teenager. Did this have to be the only way? Abs or breasts? What if I wanted both?“

It was at this point that Vicky decided to do some research and went to meet with a friend, who had recently had breast enlargement surgery, for a chat.

“I asked who she had gone with – The Private Clinic was the name of the clinic and the results spoke for themselves.”

After some more research Vicky decided to go ahead and book in for a consultation at The Private Clinic and about a month later she booked in for surgery.

Despite finding the no exercise for 6 weeks post-surgery rule challenging, Vicky has said it was all worth it for how confident she now feels.

“My confidence was high and I felt amazing but the real achievement here is the fact that I finally feel like a women. Not a young girl missing something”

To read Vicky’s full story see her blog titled “My Journey from A to D with The Private Clinic” here

Trinny and Alice Heart Davis from the Tweakment guide talk about anti ageing and skin

April 6, 2020 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

We tuned into Trinny Woodall’s latest episode of The T-Zone which featured Award-winning beauty journalist and author of The Tweakments Guide Alice Hart Davis. They were discussing treatments to help with common concerns. We have listed a selection of the treatments mentioned below;

Sagging Eyelids/Drooping Brows

Sagging eyelids or drooping brows are a common complaint in our clinics but luckily there is a range of treatments that can be very effective at reducing the signs of this.

Sagging or drooping eyelids typical sign of ageing, the levator muscle is responsible for lifting the eyelid and as we age this muscle starts to stretch which results in the surrounding skin stretching and fat pockets becoming more prominent causing drooping.

This can also result in drooping of the eyebrow which can cause you to look angry, upset, or older in appearance.

Our top treatments for eyelid or brow drop are:

Thread Lift

A thread lift is a rejuvenating non-surgical treatment that involves using specialised surgical threads to lift and regenerate sagging skin whilst improving the production of collagen within the skin. We offer both Silhouette Soft thread lift treatment and PDO Thread lifting treatments at our clinics and both of which can be used to lift the eyebrow area.

To find out more about Thread Lift treatment see here.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy non-surgical skin tightening procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy. The treatment works to stimulate and encourage the production of elastin and new collagen whilst providing a significant lift to the layers of tissue. Ultherapy has been FDA approved to treat the eyebrow as well as the face and neck. The production of new collagen creates a lifting effect to effective lift the brows and improve the appearance drooping eyelids.

To find out more about Ultherapy treatment see here

Brow Lift

In some cases, non-surgical treatment may not be enough or not give the results that you desire, and, in this case, you would need to consider a surgical alternative. A browlift or browplasty is a surgical procedure designed to lift the forehead which can help elevate the brows as well as soften any deep lines or wrinkles.

Find out more about facelift procedures here.

At our London Harley Street clinic, we also offer the One Stitch Temporal Facelift which is ideal for patients who are looking for effective results without the downtime. The temporal facelift is a minimally invasive facelift procedure that is carried out under local anaesthetic and concentrates on the eyebrows to the midface.

Blepharoplasty

A blepharoplasty procedure is another surgical procedure that is best suited for patients who are experiencing hooded or drooping eyelids. The procedure removes excess fat and skin from around the eyes to give a more rejuvenated appearance with minimal scarring.

Ageing neck

We can spend a lot of time concentrating on making sure our faces look fresh and rejuvenated but many of us forget to take care of our necks which can be a big area of concern when it comes to ageing. The skin on our necks is more delicate and less elastic so it can often appear wrinkled and saggy compared to the skin on our faces. Making sure you include your neck in your skincare routines is the best way to delay the signs of ageing in this area but there also a variety of treatments available to help rejuvenate the neck area.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a great all rounder treatment that can effectively treat the entire face as well as the neck and décolletage. It uses micro focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin stimulates the production of collagen to ensure your results continue to improve over time. There is no downtime required after Ultherapy so it is ideal for those with busy lives or who may want to keep their treatment a secret.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable treatment that works to improving the skin’s tissue quality. It involves injecting a 100% HA (Hyaluronic Acid) solution which spreads out within the skin and remodels the skins structure, nourishes dermal cells and treats skin laxity. The results are gradual, and you will require two treatments, but the results can be very effective in the majority of cases.

Find out more about Profhilo here.

Thread lift

Thread lift treatments are another great all-rounder with their ability to treat numerous areas on the face and neck. The threads are inserted underneath the skin and have small cones which hold them in place allowing them to effectively pull up skin around the neck that is sagging. The threads are also really effective at encouraging the body to produce additional collagen to help the skin look plump and hydrated.

Find out more about Thread lifts here.

Another common area of concern that we get in our clinic is Pigmentation. Pigmentation can be caused by a number of factors such as sun exposure, pregnancy, medical conditions, hormonal changes and even trauma to the skin.

In most cases, pigmentation is caused by sun exposure which is why it is so important to protect your skin by wearing sun protection every day – no matter what the weather may be.

We have a range of treatment options to help reduce the appearance of pigmentation on the skin which includes:

IPL Photorejuvenation

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation treatment is one of our most popular treatments for pigmentation. The treatment uses short bursts of intense pulsed light to help break down areas of pigmentation on the skin. A course of treatment is required for the best results.

Obagi

Obagi is a global speciality pharmaceutical company that is founded by leading skin care experts. In our clinics we offer a range of Obagi product systems that are a series of products designed to be used together to help treat specific skin concerns such as pigmentation.

The Obagi-C Rx System includes products that contain prescription-strength 4% hydroquinone and vitamin C to effectively reduce the appearance of pigmentation, including dark spots and melasma and encourages skin renewal.  We offer free skin consultations to discuss our Obagi treatments and products and a thorough skin assessment will enable us to tailor a treatment plan specific to your skin type and concerns.

Trinny Woodall asked Alice Hart Davis an interesting question towards the end of the episode about whether she felt her appearance was more down to the treatments she has had done or her skincare routine to which Alice replied with her skincare routine.
