I first went to see Mr Dickson about breast reduction surgery in June last year. I was 24 then and wearing a HH bra (although it did not fit me well so was probably bigger). I suffered terribly with back pain but also was completely mortified by the appearance of my chest. They were not how a 24 year olds should be at all and it really was affecting my way of life! I went to my first consultation where I was petrified to even have to take my top off! However, Mr Dickson made me feel as at ease as anybody could at that time and seemed to really understand how it was affecting me giving me as much time as i needed when I had a little moment and cried! He explained what procedure would be best for me in good detail and gave me all the information to go home with! His follow up letters always included what we’d spoke about which was reassuring to know he had really listened. I had a second consultation, to ensure it’s what I wanted etc and then the next step was to book the surgery date. Although really nervous on the day of my surgery, I can’t stress enough how positive Mr Dickson and the staff at Nuffield made the whole experience for me! I was shown to my room, seen by an aneasthetist and then by Mr Dickson to make markings on me for in surgery. Here he assured me he was going to do his complete best for me, and that he did! He came and saw me after my surgery that evening to say everything went well and again in the morning to check all was okay! Following on from this the after care I received was perfect! Saw him for my follow ups as normal and at one point when I thought I had a concern he made time in his diary to see me the day I called! Now, nearly 6 months later, a DD cup... I can honestly say having this procedure was the best decision of my life and I couldn’t recommend Mr Dickson enough! The pain post op was not even half of what I expected (although i expected 10/10 pain which maybe made that better for me) and the results are way better than what I ever thought possible! There isn’t a part of my experience i could suggest improvements for. My life has completely changed!! Thank you Mr Dickson and all involved at Nuffield! (Sorry for the length, but I found things like this really helpful and reassuring pre op).
