I first met Mr Chester in 2020. I was intending to have an uplift with implants. At this time, I saw him at Spire Solihull. He spent a long time explaining options to me and also, advised that I should lose weight and stop smoking in order to get the best results from the surgery. In 2023, I went back to see Mr Chester at Droitwich Spa hospital. I had lost weight and stopped smoking and was even more unhappy with the appearance of my breasts. Mr Chester explained all of the options available to me but also, managed my expectations about what would be possible and what the results may be like. He put me at ease and was so kind in his approach. I never felt rushed and he was exceptional in his attention to detail and ensuring I was fully informed. We decided to procced and he advised on an uplift without implants but explained I could decide about the implants later on, if I wanted them but this would be another operation. I booked in for my surgery with his secretary and underwent the procedure on the 13th March 2024. My surgery was more complicated than expected and I had to undergo a reduction on one breast and then the uplift. The results are amazing! The attention to detail and neatness of the scars is more than I had hoped for. I have seen Mr Chester twice since the surgery at 2 and 6 weeks and he continues to provide a wealth of information and advice and, he has some tricks to help the healing which have come with his years of experience. I met with other surgeons but no-one made me feel as comfortable and at ease as Mr Chester. I knew he would care for me and give me the best possible results that he could. I would highly recommend Mr Chester, he is an approachable, personable professional and an exceptional surgeon!

I had an abdominoplasty in December 2023. Mr Chester was absolutely fabulous. Not only did he carry out my surgery superbly, but his aftercare service was also brilliant. I had a few appointments before and after and he really listened to me and provided excellent care. The surgery he performed has really changed my life and I will forever be grateful. Absolutely incredible surgeon, I’d trust him with my life.

I saw Mr Chester at Droitwitch private hospital. From my first consultation regarding skin cancer to my treatment to remove the cancer, was excellent, Mr Chester explained what type of cancer it was and how he would remove it with surgery. The whole procedure was made easier by Mr Chester's professional, caring attitude. From diagnosis to surgery took less than four weeks, all carried out at Droitwitch private hospital where l was received by excellent staff and a hospital of the high standard expected from private care.
