I had a breast reduction with Mr Turton earlier this year, and from the initial consultation, I felt totally at ease and understood - I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Mr Turton asked all the right questions to understand my reasons for a reduction, and it was incredibly helpful to see the 3D simulation of what the reduction would roughly look like. Whilst I knew it was still a big surgery and was made aware of the fact there would be scarring and the possibility of not being able to breastfeed in the future, I felt like I was in entirely safe hands, especially on the day of surgery. Mr Turton's nurse, Gerry, was also completely wonderful and guided me through the entire process from pre-assessment to dressing changes post-op. I couldn't recommend a better surgeon for this procedure and I cannot believe how much this has improved my self-confidence already.

At the age of 60 my implants had been in for 20 years (done by another surgeon in London) and I was never really happy with them. On seeing Mr Turton due to a breast lump we also discussed having the implants removed and I told him I did't want them replaced. Mr Turton suggested that I have a breast uplift and a correction as my right side was significantly smaller than the left and once the implants were removed I would clearly have some droop. He explained in depth what the surgery would entail, the recovery time and the scars that would remain, he also asked me to prepare myself physcologically for the change in chest size. Mr Turton is so very easy to talk to and his advice in this regard was excellent as it's something I really hadn't thought about. I had the surgery done in December 2020 and everything went really well and my recovery was uneventful. I did have a peak the day after the surgery and was really pleased. At 3 months it was amazing, my natural chest had plumped up and I had symetry for the first time in my life, my scars were really neat and looked really good for saying it was so early in the process! Now at 6 months my chest scars are amazing, the shape of my chest is beyond what I could ever have expected, I am so pleased with the way my chest looks, I only wish I had had surgery done with Mr Turton earlier as I had been thinking about it for the last 5 years. The care during and after the operation was brilliant and you always had a number to call if you had any concerns or questions. Can't thank Mr Turton and his team at Leeds enough.

I spent several years considering having a risk reducing bilateral mastectomy due to a horrendous family history. Mr Turton was highly recommended by another medical professional who had worked with him in the BRI. From the outset he has been the epitomy of professionalism with a reassuring and compassionate demeanour. This was the first time I ever had a general anaesthetic and was anxious but the whole team at Nuffield Leeds were warm and caring. I am 17 days post op and and making a remarkable recovery experiencing minimal pain. The after care including from his nurse Gerry has been excellent. I can highly recommend Mr Turon and his team - they are truly world class.

I couldn’t recommend Mr Turton enough for breast enlargement. From the 3D imaging he did on my first consultation right through to the surgery and end result I could not be happier. He has listened to exactly what I wanted and I am now 10 weeks post op. The aftercare has been amazing, I have seen him 1 week post op, 3 weeks post op and 10 weeks post op and re-booked to see him in a years time. Everyone at Nuffield Leeds made me feel very welcome and his Nurse Gerry is absolutely fantastic, makes you feel completely at ease throughout all consultations, on surgery day and post surgery. By far the best surgeon around!
