Mr Philip Turton

Written by a private patient at Nuffield Hospital Leeds

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.

My life has changed forever since walking through the doors at the Nuffield to my first appointment with Mr Turton. As soon as we met I was instantly at ease, he listened & more importantly understood me .. For over 30 years my large heavy, droopy breasts have defined me. What I buy, what I wear , how people see me & how I feel. I hated them & never felt good in any bra, bikini, top or dress.. Forward on almost 5 months post surgery from my breast reduction & uplift ( no implants ) and here I am a completely different person. So much more confident & happier. Clothes shopping isn’t a chore, I’m not filled with dread when someone invites me to a party or wedding.. I can’t tell you how many comments I’ve had asking how much weight I’ve lost!! The answer is nothing ! I wasn’t nervous at all about the surgery, I was so excited I was like a kid at Christmas again! I was also a little shocked & surprised that I had no pain at all when I came out of theatre & I only needed paracetamol.. The aftercare was amazing , special mention to Jerry the nurse who works with Mr Turton and who was always at the end of the phone if I had any questions ( and I did ) Once my dressings were removed & I saw my new breasts I almost cried ! Perfect size, perfect shape, just beautiful. I loved them. When I read other reviews with the quotes it’s changed my life I thought I’m not sure it can do that, do they really mean it? All I can say is YES they do! The best decision I have ever made. I cannot recommend Mr Turton highly enough, and I have not hesitated to recommended him to friends, work colleagues & family. Thank you so much Mr Turton I’m not sure you will ever know what a difference you have made to my life..

First off i saw 4 other surgeons before booking to see Mr T, once i walked in the room i knew he was the surgeon for me, he was thorough with everything the positives and the unlikely negatives, I left feeling 100% sure he was the man for the job after the two weeks down time to think, I instantly booked in. First operation day came September 2021 nervous beyond belief but knew i was in safe hands, a few tears but the best reassurance, from there right through my recovery i had all the support i needed, face to face check ups, Gerry his outstanding nurse always on the end of the phone. My next operation April 2022, after the uplift reduction (September 2021) was for some fullness (all my choice) for some implants again felt much more at ease and nothing but outstanding. I am now 9-10 weeks post op, feel myself, so much more confident, clothes i have always dreamt of wearing, my final check up today and a few tears i feel like Mr T and his nurse Gerry are now my friends, absolutely no words can describe how amazing him and his team are. I would recommend Mr T to anyone, literally, when you walk in that room you know he is the educated surgeon everyone needs. Thank you for everything, you have made my dreams and more complete and i will miss you both. Natalie Burley

Mr Turton is outstanding!!!!!! From the first 5 minutes of meeting Mr Turton for my initial consultation I knew he was the perfect surgeon for my operation even though I had not met him before . I had heard that Mr Turton was amazing at all different breast surgeries and concentrated on breasts rather than been an all round surgeon. I had had my previous implants in for a long time and needed new implants. He was so professional,knowledgeable, and such an great person too and I instantly knew I was in great hands. He talked me through everything from start to finish and my final results are amazing . I feel so lucky to of found Mr Turton and I would totally recommend him.

Mr Turton and his team were superb. I was looked after from my first approach to my signing off inspection. Mr Turton was really friendly and approachable. He gave clear guidance on my procedure explaining everything as he went along. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism. I had no problems at all but I was constantly reassured I could contact him or his team if ever I felt the need. Definitely a doctor to trust.
