Patient Stories
Treatments performed by Mr Adrian Richards
Breast Augmentation
Breast enlargement involves the surgical addition of implants to improve the shape, size, fuller appearance, or more symmetrical look of your breasts.
Inverted Nipples Correction
Correcting inverted nipples are a quick and simple procedure which may be performed under local anaesthetic.
Breast Asymmetry Correction
Breast asymmetry is usually a result of puberty or hormonal changes but there are conditions that directly cause asymmetric breasts including Poland Syndrome.
Breast Auto-Augmentation following breast implant removal
Improve the shape of your breasts without an implant.
Breast Implant Replacement
As your body ages and following childbirth, implants that were once a perfect fit may no longer suit your body shape.
Implant Removal
Breast implant removal may also be referred to as explant surgery and is the process where breast implants are removed from the body and not replaced.
Breast Uplift
Breast uplift, Breast lift or Mastopexy surgery can offer you a great way to regain your body confidence, giving you fuller-looking breasts and correcting their positioning on your body for a more uplifted appearance.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The solution is an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck (mini tummy tuck), which will give you a flatter, firmer abdomen.
Earlobe Repair Surgery
The earlobe is the lower, fleshy part of the ear that is sometimes pierced. The area consists of a delicate piece of skin that is made up of fat and skin.
Breast Reduction Surgery
If your breasts are causing you health or cosmetic problems, Surgical Breast Reduction (Mammoplasty) might be the best option for you.
Tuberous Breast Correction
Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts, constricted breasts or breast hypoplasia is an abnormality of the breast shape.
Nipple Reduction
Overly large nipples can cause a great deal of concern to some patients either due to discomfort or increased visibility when wearing certain types of clothing.
