Well what can I say, After wanting a breast reduction for over 20 years, I was finally at a point in my life where I could have one. After extensive research I came across Mr. Philip Turton. I liked the fact he just did boobs and nothing else. During the first consultation i met the wonderful Gerry his breast nurse who’s mobile number I was given for any questions or worry’s I had. Then I met Mr Turton, I found him to be a true gentleman, honest and empathetic to my rather large heavy and very long breasts. So long I was unable to have the 3D scanner to see what they may look like. But Mr Turton explained where my nipples would be ( which was a shock as I couldn’t remember them over being there…) and that I wouldn’t leave with large breasts and he would get them as small as he could but with an emphasis the safety of my blood supply. Which I found very reassuring from some of the horrors my research had led me to see. After 2 weeks to allow for a cooling off period he rang me and I told him I was eager to go. At this point he asked me to email Viki his secretary to be put on the waiting list. Viki, I might add, has the patience of a saint as I bombarded her with requests for any cancellations and questions about when I would hear about my op. She came up trumps and rang me with the most perfectly timed cancellation for me. ( my reaction said it all, I don’t think she will forget it in a hurry) The big day came and it was a do it alone thing due to covid restrictions but I needn’t have worried because the staff at Nuffield were amazing from walking through the doors to walking out ( 2kg lighter than when I walked in I might add) The room was very nice, with everything you could want and the different staff were in and out doing there bit to make my stay run smoothly. Gerry came in , nice to see a face I knew, she has such a calming manner and very professional of how thing must be done. Mr Turton came in to mark me up ready for the op. Was I nervous? No I had complete trust in his man, even though I’d only ever seen his eyes ( damn masks) 4-5 hours later with the best wake up I’d ever had from anaesthetist and the best nurses, so caring and obliging, I was back in my room, in a very comfy bed, nice and warm, no pain, tea and a sandwich just in time for the great British bake off which I thought I was going to miss this week. Nurse were in and out checking on me constantly and bless them, helping me to the bathroom with two drains and a drip and a chest you darent move is no easy task! Drains out and home the next day with a list of does and don’ts and painkillers. 3 days post op,no painkillers needed, I actually couldn’t believe how little pain I was in! 7 days post op, went to see Gerry for my dressings changing she’s so lovely, even let me have my appointment later as I travel 1.5 hours drive away. 14 days post op and all dressings off and surgical bra on. 21 days post op and a visit to see Mr Turton My new perk, small sensitive nippled boobs are perfect what a man! He has no idea how much he has changed my life. It’s not just the obvious things like pain that’s gone it’s all the other things that you only realise after. I decided to write them down as I know other ladies will get it! I’ve been completely honest beware. The biggest thing for me was breathing Every single time I take a deep breath now, I grin, each breath is a pleasure to take.  I haven’t taken any asthma medication since my op I went for a walk 3 days post op and wondered what the black things were on the pavement? It was my boots! I can see my feet and knees!  I put a zip front top on today  And it zipped all the way to the top!  TO THE TOP!!! It actually made me cry.  I feel like I’m constantly walking in a swimming pool, the only place where I felt ‘light’ but I’m not I’m just walking about! The freedom is unreal. In bed my arms sit by my side right by my side instead of my boobs sliding under my armpits.  I have a waist!!!!!!!!! I go in!!!!!! Not out!!!!  I have a midriff, I’ve not seen that for 20years!  I haven’t had a single twinge or cramp or pain from my shoulders or back, not one!  After a shower I can wrap a towel round me, and it stays there! I walk…. taller. I can see my nipples! I can bend over without holding my boobs to keep them in my bra Men look at my face!!!!!! I have so much more body confidence, I feel I look normal, now I bought a dress! No more separates for me! Size 22 top size 12 bottoms I can reach to tie my shoe laces without getting out of breath fighting to see over my boobs. I have bought a coat ( 3 sizes smaller) it zips up and it shows I DO have a figure! Everyone can’t believe how slim and younger I look and how much happier I look I no longer have to hold my boobs if I have to run for something When braless, I no longer trap my nipples between the sink and my tummy when standing at the sink I’m looking forward to the next hot weather and not having to buy sudocrem The steering wheel doesn’t rub on them and the seat belt sits in the right place When I’m on my hands and knees my nipples don’t reach the carpet Bending over doesn’t make me out of breath anymore I hope this helps any ladies who are undecided or not sure who to choose. Mr. Turton and your amazing team Thank you It must be amazing to give such joy to so many women.
