Mr David Lam

Written by a private patient at Claremont Private Hospital

I recently saw Dr.Lam for breast implant removal and mastopexy. The outcome of my surgery is fantastic. I am very happy with the results. I had every confidence in him to help me as he is a very talented surgeon. He put me at ease and explained everything about the surgery. Can't recommend him enough to others in my situation 5*

In January 2023 I underwent breast augmentation under the care of David Lam at Claremont Hospital- Sheffield. After many years of research and consideration I finally took the plunge. I had visited many online sites in the search of a private professional surgeon, I knew I did not want to look at a big company - particularly ones that displayed airbrushed, voluptuous models in there information, as I was looking for a more modest, natural look. For context I am 42 years of age, a tall 5’9” of athletic build - I previously measured at a 32A- so I have never felt remotely curvy or womanly. I was looking for a natural small enhancement that would make me feel comfortable in underwear and a bikini. On my first visit to see Mr Lam I knew he was the person for me, so much so that at that appointment we pencilled in a surgery date. We discussed what I wanted, sizes, shapes, the procedure, all the good points and all the bad, nothing was hidden and I was well informed. I was asked to go home and perform a rice test which is essentially filling dried rice into pop socks to make replica implants. I made a second appointment to see Mr Lam as I still wasn’t sure on size- he was more than happy to see me; at this appointment we decided on 270cc tear drop implants- these were to be placed under the muscle due to my slight size, he said because of this he would increase the size by 10% to give me the desired look. So my final implant size was 300cc. The day of the operation was relaxed, I was nervous but not overly so, Mr Lam came to see me before theatre and calmed me right down. When I came round from the anaesthetic I had no pain, just some chest tightness and a sore throat which I know from a previous anaesthetic to be completely normal- I was placed in a post surgery support bra, this took a little getting used to, whilst swollen it can feel quite tight- as things settle it becomes more comfortable- I purchased a second one so I could wear one and wash one. Mr lam came to see me afterwards and was happy to tell me all went well and he was sure I would be happy with the results. The following morning he came again where he was able to show me the results, it was strange to see and whilst a little Bruised, sore and swollen I could still tell that I would be delighted with what he had done. My recovery I took really seriously- I rested entirely the first week but by day 4 had come off all pain medication as felt I could manage without. Mornings were slightly more uncomfortable- my chest felt tight, this is entirely normal and settles once up and moving. I bought a V pillow to elevate my sleeping position which was a great help. I was able to carefully shower and gradually started to lift my arms more each day to alleviate the stiffness- at 6 weeks I could resume all normal activities- I returned to the gym and carried on as normal. I had a follow up with Mr Lam at 8 weeks where we looked at my results, he was really happy and took by after photos. I have recently been measured and my new size is a 32DD- my results are very natural- I can barely at all see any scars and I am beyond delighted with my new figure. I cannot imagine having this same experience with any other surgeon, Mr Lam is a true gentleman, he is professional, he listens and advises but also adds some lighthearted humour along the way, which when having a wobble is much needed. My results speak volumes on what a talented individual he his and I cannot thank him enough for taking me on this journey which I have put off for years. Also to note, the care at spire clinic was second to none- I was very well cared for, the hospital staff, nurses and care team looked after me so well and were unbelievably kind.

Thank you David Lam and the entire team at Claremont Hospital! From consultation to follow-up, I have been given the best advice, care, and guidance. The removal of breast implants that had been in place for over 20 years has changed my life. I'd had discomfort for many years so decided to finally have them removed. Mr. Lam went over every option in great detail. He asked many questions about my lifestyle and my attitude toward ageing without me realising that's what he was doing. I felt he knew I wanted them removed, not replaced. And that's exactly the decision I made. I couldn't be happier. And I had absolutely no issues whatsoever throughout the procedure or following.

I approached mr lam about breast surgery. After having implants at transform 10 years previously I was concerned something was not right. Mr lam went through all my options, from removal of implant, to replacement and reconstruction. He clearly explained the possible outcomes and I decided to go ahead with replacement and reconstruction. The result was amazing, better than I could ever have imagined. From consultation to after care I felt completely at ease and was given the best care. I can’t recommend mr lam enough, he is the best.

Can't thank Mr Lam enough for the results of my tummy tuck. I'm over the moon and his work is outstanding. Scaring is very minimal, he wants the best outcome for all of his patients and you can tell how passionate he is about his work. I would only ever use Mr Lam for any further surgery now and would recommend him to everyone
