I truly can’t thank Mr Chester enough for his kindness and the outstanding level of care he gave me. From my initial consultation, the procedure itself to remove a lesion close to my eye and the aftercare....Mr Chester was 100% supportive and very kind, a true professional. I am very very happy with my treatment. I would highly recommend Mr Chester.

I visited Dr Chester for a consultation for a mastopexy (breast uplift) after a recommendation from my GP. I was already booked in with another surgeon but wanted to make sure i was going with the right person. As soon as i met Dr Chester he made me feel at ease and helped explain the procedure in much more detail. I was unsure whether i should have implants of just an uplift and he helped explain both procedures to give me a more clear idea. After this first consultation i cancelled my other surgeon and knew this was the right option. I had a mastopexy and i trusted myself in his hands completely. I was terrified on the day of surgery but he did all he could to ensure me everything was going to be ok. He has continued to see me after the surgery to see how i've been getting on and my scarring is no where near what i expected. The surgery was 3 months ago and i had a full mastopexy (scars underneath and round the nipple) and they have faded amazing within this timescale, you can hardly notice them. I made the decision not to have implants and just have the uplift through weight loss. My breasts before were low, sagging and i had a lot of loose skin and im only 22! I am so much more confident now and can wear the type of clothes that i should be for my age. This operation has had much a positive effect on my life and i would strongly recommend Dr Chester for any surgery. He takes the time to help and support you through the process and will instantly make you feel at ease through any procedure. I can't thank you enough! Whilst i'm here i will also add that Spire Parkway hospital was also amazing at looking after me! I felt so at home and well looked after!

Understood what I wanted to achieve from the Breast surgery. Endeavoured to create a natural look and gave details as to what I could expect keeping my expectations realistic. This resulted in results which were greater than could have been expected and care that feels personal. Mr Chester makes you feel like you are the only person he is caring for, you truly feel like he understands you and what you want.

Hi all. I have recently had breast surgery. This consisted of an uplift and a change of implants as I believed I had PIP implants. Upon reading reviews I chose to go with Mr Chester at the BMI Droitwich spa hospital. I was very apprehensive however missed Mr Chester Made me feel at ease straight away. He was extremely informative about the procedure about the risks involved And explained The procedure in depth. Throughout my consultations prior to my operation Mr Chester wrote everything down and then confirmed via letter each time. I found very comforting and professional. My operation was very successful before throughout and after my operation Mr Chester was extremely professional and kind. He made me feel very at ease and informed of everything. I have had a few consultations with Mr Chester since my operation. And I have one left before I am discharged. Mr Chester is extremely thorough and very caring towards patience ensuring the best results possible. I would recommend Mr Chester for any type of cosmetic surgery. I will most definitely be returning as a patient if needed in the future. I would like to say a massive thank you to Mr Chester as I am very happy patient Thank you so much Leanne Hatherall

I visited/met numerous plastic surgeons to talk and discuss my selected procedure. It was a family relation that advised I met with Mr Chester. I instantly felt comfortable and at ease with Mr Chester, he was the only surgeon to ask me about the reasons for this procedure and my general well being. I felt he genuinely had my best interests at heart and provided his professional opinion without forcing any decisions upon me. When it came to the day of surgery I found I had no more queries before the operation as all the information had been covered and my questions answered. I am now beyond happy with my post op results and feel assured that I can contact him if I have any questions concerning post- op aftercare. He is a very professional and talented surgeon.
