I cannot recommend Mr Chester highly enough. I received excellent care for removal of a cyst in my hairline on my forehead which had grown and was becoming uncomfortable. The scar is barely visible and I have had no issues or concerns since. I feel Mr Chester is very knowledgeable in his field. Helpful advice and possible risks were highlighted throughout the process. Emma, Mr Chester’s secretary is very friendly and responsive. Both were a pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to contact them again if I were to need any other cosmetic procedure in the future. Thank you so very much, Emma

Right from the start Mr Chester showed empathy for my situation. He was pleasant informative and keen to listen to me. In the clinic room his operational skills and demeaner put me at ease. He was keen enough to talk and examine other matters that might be affecting my health and well being. Would i use him again or recommend him. Most definately a big YES. I also add that his secretary Emma was most helpful and a delight to talk to nothing was too much trouble. Well Done.

I have had Brest Augmentation (uplift and implants) done with Mr Chester, after 3 children and about 6 stone weight loss I was left with very empty droopy breasts with no fullness at the top part of my chest, it actually dipped inwards. After feeling very unhappy and lack of confidence for many years I am now extremely happy with my breasts, I was always a 34DD before children and weightloss and said that was what I would like to be again if possible but trusted Mr Chester to do what he thought would fit and look best once the uplift was done so that they would still look as natural as possible and that is exactly what I have now, he offers lots of advice and support from start to finish, I’m so very happy and would recommend him to everyone looking in to having it done.

After a car accident I suffered a laceration to my forehead which was quickly glued together at A&E on the day. Fast forward two years and I was unhappy with the scar tissue which had formed a dent and was a constant reminder of the accident. After a consultation with Mr Chester in which he explained why the dent had formed and what he would do to reverse the scar. After a small operation the scar is less noticeable and no longer a dent. The after care that I have been given by Mr Chester was professional and relaxed and I feel much happier about the scar.

My experience with Mr Chester was very professional and courteous. My initial consultation was thorough where we talked through my requirements and desired outcomes. All potential risks and issues were outlined clearly and any questions I had answered satisfactorily. On the day of my procedure, the risks were again outlined and gave me reassurance. Four weeks later and I'm very pleased with the results and follow up care I received. I would have no hesitation in returning to Mr Chester in future.
