I hear this when I am out on a regular basis once people find out I’m a plastic surgeon. My reply? “You’re talking about those that have had a bad facelift- you wouldn’t realise those that have had a good one!” In fact, on one occasion I was able to list 3 people known to […]

It was lovely to see that my talk was featured in the industry journal of the British Independent Fruit Growers Association (BIFGA)!  

Whilst it might not immediately be obvious, plastic surgery is quite a seasonal type of intervention. Whilst I am busy all year round, there are certain procedures that are always more in demand at certain times of year. As a rule, this time of year is very popular for breast surgery – with the thought […]

It has been a little while since I have updated this section of the website, as life continues to be as busy as ever (not something I am complaining about!). Purity Bridge grows from strength to strength, and I feel it was an excellent decision to open a private clinic. The feedback from my patients/clients […]

Listen here › to my recent interview with the delightful Julia George, of BBC Radio Kent – stimulated by the media coverage of the latest BAAPS statistics. She made the whole experience very relaxing, and asked very pertinent questions!

We have a whole series of planned open evenings lined up for 2014, which I hope will prove to be as popular as the ones we have held so far! Please contact Caroline on 01892 536 960 to register your interest. TUESDAY 11th FEBRUARY  – ‘For the future of your skin’ Worrying about wrinkles? Frightened […]

September and October have been incredibly busy, clinically, as well as with conferences and dealing with the press. I was at a very informative BAAPS conference and subsequently an invited speaker at the aesthetic breast symposium at the Royal Society of Medicine as well as the big aesthetic conference held in October at Olympia (http://www.ccr-expo.com/)!

I am really looking forward to hosting our first GP education evening at the new practice this Thursday evening. I will be giving a presentation that covers skin cancer, scars, wound healing and more – all of which I very much will be of use to those attending. Darryl Coombes, my colleague who is a […]

Lots of work is being done at Purity Bridge finalising the details for the launch event we are having at the end of next week to celebrate our opening. We really wanted to say thank you to everyone who has had a part in getting the clinic off the ground and is continuing to support […]

What is extraordinary about the 6-week consultation? It is that virtually every patient has “forgotten” their old body and how it was pre-surgery. Whether it is a facelift, a breast operation or a tummy tuck, it never ceases to amaze me how quick the human brain is to adopt the new body image as “having […]

I felt my heart sink a little while ago during a breast augmentation consult – very near the beginning of the consultation the young lady sitting across from me said (and I quote); “well, all my friends have 280s or 300s, so I want at least 350s so I can have bigger implants than all […]

Whilst every plastic surgeon should strive for perfection all the time (in fact, that should be a personality trait of a plastic surgeon!), of course, there are times that we get the suboptimal result. This may be because of a post-operative complication, or for some other reason. As a result, every plastic surgeon will have […]
