I had a bilateral breast reduction in September 2023 at Weymouth Street Hospital. This is something I had wanted all my adult life but could not find the courage to go through with it. It wasn't so much about the operation itself but more about 'exposing' myself, physically and emotionally, to enable it. Mr Banwell was not the first surgeon I had approached over the years, but he was the only one I felt comfortable enough with to continue with the procedure. From the initial consultation through to the aftercare, Mr Banwell did not let me down. His natural patience, kindness and professionalism were evident at every appointment. On the day of the procedure, I was so nervous about the pre-op process that I nearly didn't get there. However, Mr Barnwell’s sensitivity and constant reassurance got me through it. The outcome was better than I can ever have imagined, and I experienced very little discomfort throughout my recovery. The aftercare was impeccable, Mr Banwell contacted my husband as soon as he came out of surgery to reassure him that all had gone very well. In the following weeks Mr Barnwell’s' PA, Mo Graham, was always available to offer reassurance when needed and would liaise with Mr Banwell when required. He provided follow up appointments where he changed dressings and removed any remaining stitches. Mr Banwell is a truly lovely man who is also a magnificent surgeon in my opinion. He takes pride in his work and looks after his patients. His work has transformed my life and I cannot thank him and his colleagues enough.
