Mr Christopher R. Macdonald

Written by a patient at University Hospital Coventry

I saw Chris as my first child ruined me on the way out. This eventually healed up but I was unhappy with the way that I looked and didn’t like my DH getting too close or seeing me. Tight clothing was very uncomfortable and where one of my lips had split got very sore during sex. I just accepted all of this and thought it was one of the things that happens to your body after childbirth. During my second pregnancy my midwife corrected me and told me that there were things that could be done to improve this. Chris was so approachable and put me at ease. The surgery has put me all back together and tidied everything up just as it was before my children. I can comfortably wear yoga pants or a tight swimsuit. Sex is no longer painful. I don’t feel self conscious when Hubby gets close in there again (happened more of than usual during lockdown!) I am so happy and I wish I had met Chris a long time ago.

I got breast implants 20 years ago and they completely changed my life and made me feel so confident about my body. I have now had 3 beautiful kids and was considering having them taken out and up-lifted when suddenly both my breasts blew-up! Pretty terrifying!!! I was seen in the urgent breast clinic and told that both my implants had ruptured and then referred on to a plastic surgeon to have them removed. I met Beck y and then Chris and felt like he completely understood my concerns about my breasts, the leaking silicone and ALCL. In no time at all he had arranged an MRI that confirmed exactly where all the silicone has gone and explained everything to me. Before I knew it, I had a date to get the implants out. I was really concerned about how sore it was going to be to have the capsule taken out from behind the muscle and having the silicone chopped out but it wasn't bad at all and within 2 weeks I was back to doing gentle cardio. My scars have healed up amazingly (very tidying stitching!) Very pleased that Chris got everything out and all the tests have come back negative for lymphoma. I am now so happy with my breasts and have no plans to have any sort of uplift after all. Thank you

Recently took my daughter to have a rhinoplasty with Chris and hasn't realised that it was the same surgeon that treated me 3 years ago. Chris and the rest of the orthopaedic team at the Walsgrave put me back together after I was knocked off my bike. They repaired my hand tendons and nerves and fixed my shattered leg by moving my thigh muscle down to my shin! I had some amazing care and can't believe that I am back to doing everything that I enjoy in life. Also, Chloe is over the moon with her nose. Highly recommended!!!

Chris Macdonald performed a sentinel lymph node biopsy and removed my skin cancer scar. When we first met he answered all of my questions and was careful to reassure me about the future. He and Donna were very patient and gave me some leaflets to read at home. The day of the surgery went really smoothly (I would recommend making sure you are really comfortable before the scanners starts though as this does take quite a while). There were no problems at all and everything healed up brilliantly. I am very relieved that they didn’t find any signs of melanoma and wish I could carry on going to see Chris for my check ups in the future rather than my dermatolagist. I would never wish this on anybody but if you do need surgery for skin cancer, you would be lucky to have Chris treating you.
