Choosing a surgeon is one of the most important decisions you will make. And it is worth taking the time to get it right.

This patient attended a consultation elsewhere before choosing Manchester Plastic Surgery. The difference, in their words, was clear from the start.
Feeling safe and reassured throughout the process is not a bonus. It is the standard every patient deserves, and it is what our team works to provide at every stage, from consultation through to aftercare.

Mr Murphy has been caring for patients at Manchester Plastic Surgery since 2010. Every consultation is with your chosen surgeon, because the person planning your surgery should be the same person guiding you through every step.

If you are considering a procedure and want to feel confident in your care, you can book a consultation with the team at Manchester Plastic Surgery. Visit the website for full surgery breakdowns, including price guides and before and after photos.

How to be a good plastic surgery patient (part 2): How do I choose a surgeon?

You have decided you want to explore surgery. Now you need to find someone you trust to carry it out.

Start locally. Look at what clinics and surgeons are working within a reasonable distance. There is a practical advantage to being nearby, particularly during recovery and follow-up appointments.

Then look deeper. Visit their websites. Get a sense of the kind of practice they run. People work in very different ways and you need to feel comfortable in that environment. Look at their qualifications. Understand their background, their training, where they practice. You want evidence that this person is the real thing.

Reviews are a useful reference point. Any surgeon who has been working for a long time should have a strong record of satisfied patients. That is really the minimum you should expect.

But the most important thing is harder to measure. It is the feeling you get. A good gut feeling is probably the single most important part of your research. You need to feel chemistry with your surgeon. You need to feel listened to, understood, and confident that they genuinely care about your outcome.

Social media and video content can give you a sense of someone before you meet them. But the real test comes in the consultation room.

That is part 3.

Preparing for a breast surgery consultation is not about arriving with all the answers. It is about starting the right conversation.

A good consultation should feel calm, informative and honest. At Manchester Plastic Surgery, the focus is always on understanding your “why”, examining your anatomy carefully, and explaining the options that genuinely suit you. Sometimes that means surgery is appropriate. Sometimes it means waiting, adjusting the plan, or exploring alternatives.

Our surgical team has been caring for patients since 2010, with a team of specialist plastic surgeons who are full members of BAAPS and on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery.

Procedures are carefully planned, performed in accredited hospital settings, and supported by a dedicated aftercare team who guide patients through recovery.

The ethos is simple: clear advice, realistic outcomes, and patient-first care from consultation through to follow-up.

Choosing the right surgeon often starts with a recommendation from someone who has been through it themselves.

This patient came to MPS on the recommendation of someone they trusted, and from the very first consultation felt that Mr Murphy understood exactly what they wanted to achieve.

That is what a good consultation should feel like. Not rushed, not generic. A conversation where your surgeon listens, understands your goals, and makes sure you are both on the same page before anything moves forward.

At Manchester Plastic Surgery, every consultation and follow-up appointment is with your chosen surgeon. You will find full procedure breakdowns, pricing and before and after photos on our website.

How to be a good plastic surgery patient (part 1): Is surgery the answer to my insecurities?

Most people who consider cosmetic surgery are not chasing perfection. They are dealing with a mismatch between how they feel on the inside and what they see on the outside.

Psychologists call this appearance self-discrepancy. It is not vanity. It is the feeling that a part of your body does not represent who you are. And for many people, that feeling builds over time until it starts to affect confidence, comfort, and how they move through the world.

What happens next is usually research. People look for others with similar concerns, find out what procedures exist, and start forming a picture of what might help. That can be a useful starting point, but it can also become an obstacle if the understanding is incomplete.

The reality is that everyone sits somewhere different on that spectrum. Some people arrive having done very little research and prefer to listen to an expert. Others want to understand every detail before they take the next step. Most sit somewhere in the middle.

A little understanding is valuable. Enough to have a sensible conversation. But not so much that you become fixated on one solution before a surgeon has assessed your individual situation.

If you are at the beginning of that process, the next step is finding the right person to talk to. That is part 2.

Tummy tuck, two months on ⬇️

Our patient was 43 years old at the time of surgery, and a Mum of three. She hadn’t had a Caesarean and had no previous abdominal surgery either. She was fit and healthy, with a stable weight.

This is her two-month result after abdominoplasty.

Two months is still early. You can expect some swelling, a pink low-placed scar and a shape that keeps refining across 3 to 12 months as tissues settle.

Comfort and posture usually improve week by week, and scars soften with good care.

Breast shape can change over time, particularly after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

This patient is 42 years old and a mother of three. She was otherwise fit and well but wanted to address changes in breast shape and position that had developed over the years.

She underwent a bilateral mastopexy (breast lift) using a “lollipop” incision pattern and a super-medial pedicle technique, which allows the breast to be reshaped while maintaining good blood supply to the ni**le. During the procedure, 50 grams of tissue was removed from the left breast to help improve balance and symmetry.

The aim of surgery like this is not to significantly change size, but to restore shape, lift the breast on the chest wall, and reposition the ni**le to a more natural position.

She stayed overnight in hospital following surgery and had an uneventful recovery.

If you are considering a breast lift in Manchester and want specialist guidance on what may be possible for you, book a free consultation with our BAAPS specialist team at Manchester Plastic Surgery.

Pregnancy can change the abdominal wall in ways that diet and exercise simply cannot reverse.

This patient is a 30 year old mother of three, all delivered by Caesarean section. She was otherwise fit and well, but had developed loose abdominal skin and muscle separation following her pregnancies.

She underwent a full abdominoplasty, which involved removing excess skin from the abdomen, repairing the abdominal muscles, and reshaping the contour of the waist. Liposuction was also performed to the hips and thighs to help balance the overall silhouette.

The goal with procedures like this is not just a flatter abdomen, but restoring strength and structure to the abdominal wall so the body feels more supported again.

Her recovery was uneventful, and this result shows the early outcome following surgery.
