** AMAZING **
From the first time I met Marc I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He put me at ease, answered all of my questions and was realistic in terms of results… I cannot recommend Marc enough to anyone considering surgery. The results of the breast augmentation and mastopexy are better than I could have imagined and I am so glad that I chose Purity Bridge for my journey.

Tuberous Breasts Treated with Lift and Fat Grafting
… Although medically they are not tuberous breasts, I was later told they do have a tubular shape which has made me insecure since puberty… Mr Pacifico’s attentiveness, expertise and qualifications made him an obvious choice. He is extremely talented and knowledgable… this surgery was 100% the right decision.
