Earlier this year I had a large cyst removed from my back at The Staiano Clinic Birmingham. I had had the cyst for several years but previous surgery (elsewhere) had been unsuccessful and the cyst was increasing in size. Due to COVID restrictions my initial contact was via e-mail and photos. The communication was excellent and I subsequently attended for the cyst removal. Mr Staiano and his staff went through the details of the procedure and aftercare. I take long-term treatment with Rivaroxiban (blood thinning tablets) but was re-assured and given instruction on adjusting my medication. There was a very caring approach by all concerned. The surgery went well and I was offered the option of returning to the clinic for review or having a combination of telephone and on-line follow-up. I chose the latter and received calls/e-mails from Mr Staiano and from the nursing team over the following 3 months. I felt very comfortable dealing with all members of the team. I would have every confidence in having any future procedures under their care

In January 2021 I had breast augmentation with the Staiano clinic by Jonathan Staiano, at first I felt very comfortable on confident that my results would be great, I had 275cc HP Polytech polyurethane implants. After the surgery I noticed shape and asymmetrical issues, I brought this to the attention of the Staiano clinic and Nurse Vicky was telling me to let them settle and give them time, I also spoke to Jonathan Staiano who kept saying the same, however the issues looked worse the longer it was left, my breasts were extremely pointed, in clothing braless and bikinis I looked like I had one breast, my breasts didn’t move at all and I couldn’t create cleavage or move them with a push up bra or my hands even though as per the contract this was said I would be able to, I also highlighted to Jonathan that one of my breasts was painful which he said was normal but I knew it wasn’t, my breasts were still solid at 6 months post op and one of my breasts was a size smaller and left one side of a bra empty especially by the wire area. I had an appointment with Jonathan and his reply was he could see the issues but he couldn’t see them to the degree that I could see them and he was happy with the results which is funny because another surgery is only offered if the surgeon is unhappy with the results as per the terms of contract so of course he would be happy with them and the worst comment he could have made was “you need to learn to live with it” however whilst in this appointment he told me there were things that could be done if I let them settle longer, we could consider an implant change of size or shape, I asked about a fat transfer which Jonathan stated he didn’t think this did much and wouldn’t recommend it however then in one of his Facebook lives her stated he loves doing this surgery, it didn’t matter what I said or asked it was dismissed and then to top it off Jonathan emailed my doctors surgery and listed these things we spoke about and ruled them all out saying he wouldn’t recommend anymore surgery so I felt very stuck and very depressed but this didn’t matter, I kept being fobbed off with leave it longer, it’s normal. The Staiano clinic advertise themselves as patient focused and all about the aftercare however I didn’t receive this whilst a patient of the Staiano Clinic and once my surgery was done that was it none of my concerns mattered as long as the surgeon was happy that was all that mattered, I feel like once he had completed my surgery and taken my money £7770 that was it I was dismissed. After Jonathan emailed my doctor I obtained more opinions from multiple surgeons who could also all see the issues I was concerned about, I was told by a couple of surgeons that the implants Jonathan used may not have been wide enough to fill my breast tissue resulting in the big gap and the pocket may not have been done properly meaning the breasts couldn’t move towards the centre bone to create any kind of cleavage. I chose one of these surgeons to have revision surgery in July 2021, I had Motiva Ergonomix 380cc Demi profile implants with fat transfer and my results have ended up amazing, I look like I have two breasts without a bra and in a bikini as I should, I can move my breasts, I can create cleavage? My breasts move and are so much softer and I feel more confident than ever oh and both of my breasts now fill my bra, however this surgeon did find I had bad inflammation in the capsule which resulted in the breast pain Jonathan ignored I have had to pay again and as a result loose our savings and Jonathan hasn’t offered anything back and in my honest opinion he doesn’t care, he actually told me to just leave him a bad review yes he will be upset to receive it but if it is how I feel then post it, so as I said he took my money and dismissed everything but I couldn’t live with the result left by Jonathan the mental and physical aspects were too much to deal with, I became obsessed and more depressed than before I had the surgery to start with.

I had a tummy tuck and lipo, just over a year ago, Jonathan and his team are absolutely amazing. Before choosing Jonathan Staianio, I had four more consultations with other Surgeons, but the Staianio clinic, listened to my needs, went through every single detail about my operation, Jonathan checked on me twice a day whilst in hospital and even called my husband, himself once I came out of theatre. The before and aftercare is second to none, Vicki and her team are very caring. Results of surgery are absolutely amazing, my scar is hardly noticeable and its only been a year. I would highly recommend The Staianio clinic Edgbaston.

I recently came to the Staiano clinic to have tattoo excision. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. When I first arrived at the surgery I came with my mum they made us feel so welcome and it helps the surgery has a 'homey' feel. I first saw Jonathan a year and a half ago and had my consultation then I came back to have the surgery this gave me time to think I was making the right decision. What I loved so much was when I first saw Jonathan before my minor op he made sure I was making the right decision and was happy for me to go away and think about it again - Which I knew I was! He was not there to just take your money he made it clear what the outcome was going to be and if I needed more time to decide I could. I went in for the minor op that day, Jonathan and his nurse assistant Vicki made me feel so at ease, I felt so comfortable and they spoke to me pretty much the whole way through the op. I really can't explain how happy I was when I came out - I had tears not because I was sad or scared simply because Jonathan brought my confidence back and I had waited so long for this. I highly recommend this surgery the people that work here are amazing and Jonathan's work is phenomenal.

I recently had my breast implants replaced by Jonathan Staiano. I cannot begin to say how pleased I am with the result. From my initial consultation to post operative you are listened to and looked after. There was never any pressure from Jonathan and he encouraged time for me to think about what I wanted, offering guidance and advice. Plus he was always on hand to support and answer any queries after my consultation. One word of advice do your research, educate yourself, check your surgeons qualifications and that they are members of the governing bodies which enforce strict codes of practice. The first time I had implants sone 20 years ago I failed to do this and the surgeon put in PIP Implants instead of Hydrogel implants which I had paid extra for. This was without my consent and I am now pursuing a legal case against the clinic and surgeon. It is imperative you meet your Surgeon from day one, how can a Patient Advisor with no medical qualification know what’s right for you and advise on the best course of action? This time around older and wiser I did my research and all roads led to Jonathan Staiano and I am beyond pleased. I have felt safe and reassured in his care and it’s so important to have that peace of mind. He is a caring, approachable professional and your care is at the heart of what he does. I can’t thank Jonathan enough and his team of support staff are first class too. Everyone at Staiano Plastic Surgery wants the best for you and will make you feel like you are part of their family.

Profile

I am on a crusade to put the ethics back in to cosmetic surgery.

We need to be transparent about our training and I have written a book called "Never Accept A Lift From Strangers - how to choose the best plastic surgeon for your cosmetic breast surgery".

I run the only clinic in the country specialising in cosmetic breast surgery.
