I had breast augmentation revision surgery 6 weeks ago under the care of Lyndsey Highton and I have to say I am so incredibly lucky to have such a specialist surgeon in my area. After doing some research and reading up on a few different surgeons, Lyndsey stood out a mile with her experience, knowledge and expertise. I suffered mentally having lost the majority of my breast tissue after having my 3rd child and had been left flat chested. I had my first augmentation 14 years ago and although the outcome was an improvement, I had never been happy with the results - it was clear the procedure hadn't been carried out as well as it should have. At my first consultation with Lyndsey she listened carefully and patiently as I explained my situation. During examination she knew exactly what was necessary to correct the issue and explained how this could be achieved giving me a more natural look. It was an easy decision to choose Lyndsey as my surgeon and so went on to have a second, thorough consultation to finalise details of the upcoming surgery. The care I received from Lyndsey just before, during and after my surgery was outstanding. She is attentive, reassuring and has a very calming nature which really helps when you're going through major surgery. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome, with now having a natural looking result. After having such a difficult time mentally with my appearance, for the first time in 20 years I feel 'normal'. Lyndsey is highly experienced and when future revision surgery is needed, I will only ever have her as my surgeon.

Lyndsey made me feel relaxed, she is down to earth and a lovely person. She gave great advice and always had time for my questions. I never felt rushed at any of my appointments. The care I received was excellent before, during and after my surgery. I would recommend Lyndsey to anyone, she is a very caring person and doctor.

During my inital consultations Miss Highton gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision with realistic expectations about what the surgery would achieve. As my primary reason for having a breast reduction was to help with ongoing neck and back pain, this expectation management was really importnant. She was kind, friendly and professional throughout. It is clear to me that Miss Highton's surgical skills are second to none, she is an artist with an eye for producing natural looking results in keeping with your frame and size. I am nearly 6 weeks post-op and couldn't be more pleased with my results. I feel like I now look the way I always should have! My neck and back pain, whilst not complelety gone, is considerably better and seems to be easing more and more as my spine gets used to my new frame and posture. My scars are neat and fully healed and I think this is testament to Miss Hightons surgical skills.

Incredible! You can tell by talking to her that she genuinely cares for you and what you need. I searched for someone for months and after lots of reading about different surgeons I knew she was the one I wanted to carry out my surgery - I was NOT disappointed! I am more than pleased with every little bit of the service I was provided and more importantly the results. She firstly suggested taking roughly 1KG from each breast but following the op Lyndsey advised she realised she actually only needed to take 800g from each side which shows even though she had made an initial plan she realised throughout the op that that wasn’t best for me and she re adjust her plan and carried out the surgery based on what was best for myself and my needs. This to me proves I wasn’t just another way patient or another number to her! I now feel like a whole new woman after the surgery. Successful op with NO complications what so ever and the healing was so much better than I expected. The follow up care is unquestionable- constantly reassuring you and ensuring you know that they are there for you for any worry, concern or question you have. Cannot thank her enough. Michaela :)

From first meeting with Lyndsey to discuss my breast reduction and lift I felt at ease and confident in her ability. She is professional but didn’t use too much medical jargon and explained things to me really well. I am more than delighted with my results and I’m so impressed with the recovery, it’s taken around half the time I thought it would. Lyndsey is a very talented surgeon who is dedicated and passionate about genuinely helping people achieve the best results that are specific to them. I have already recommended her to two friends that are considering similar surgery. I am amazed with the results but more pleased about how I feel, not weighed down! I wish I had done this 10 years ago. My procedure and all out patients appointments have been at Euxton Hall but the form doesn’t give an option for it.
