I underwent unilateral breast augmentation back in 2004 to correct breast asymmetry. 19 years and 2 children later, I found that my implant had encapsulated and was giving me a lot of pain, not to mention my breasts now had a high degree of asymmetry once again! I originally went into the consultation in January 2023 with Mr Wallace thinking it be a case of swapping the old implant for a new one (possibly with uplift) however Mr Wallace listened carefully to my reasons for wanting the surgery and suggested removing the implant altogether and re-shaping the healthy breast with a reduction to restore symmetry. This would mean I wouldn't have to have further implant replacement surgery in 20 years time. After careful thought, I decided this would be a good option and had the surgery in April 2023. This was complex breast surgery involving removal of my old breast implant and capsule on one side, and then breast symmetrisation with a breast reduction/uplift on my larger breast and an autoaugmentation/uplift on my smaller breast using only my own breast tissues. Mr Wallace was excellent once again at fully explaining the procedure as it was quite complicated, what I could expect from the results and talking through any concerns I had. I unfortunately developed an unforseen complication after surgery and Mr Wallace requested to see me immediately outside of his normal working hours and gave me further medication to help with the healing. The aftercare from surgery was exemplary - I had more follow-up appointments than normal for breast surgery and each time was reviewed, pictures taken and Mr Wallace would immediately advise any change of care needed. It took a whole year from the initial consultation to being discharged from care, but I have never made a better decision in my life. I am absolutely over the moon with my new shape. The symmetry is incredible and something I never thought possible given how bad it was before. I can wear clothing that I never thought I'd be able to have. And absolute best of all, I'm not in pain any more, and don't have to constantly think of protecting my chest when my 2 year old wants a cuddle. I feel so much happier and so much more myself. I would 100% recommend Mt Wallace to anyone thinking of breast surgery, he has been nothing but professional, empathetic and caring throughout the whole process.
