Mr Oliver attended the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAPRAS) course on cosmetic breast surgery on the 15th & 16th April 2013.

Key note speakers included Dr Hall-Findlay from Canada, and Professor Hamdi from Brussels who are both specialists in breast reduction and have international reputations in this field.  Different options for breast reduction were discussed.

Dr De Bruijin from the Netherlands showed his results for mastopexy using an internal supporting mesh with excellent long term results using his technique.

Breast Augmentation talks focused on the latest 5^th generation style of breast implants and micro-polyurethane coated foam implants. In addition there were sessions on the latest advances in breast augmentation and how to minimise risks and complications. There were specialist presenting work on fat transfer in breast reconstruction and a variety of other topics covering every aspect of cosmetic breast surgery from breast implant selection to surgical techniques and long term follow up.

“No matter how many times that a surgeon performs an operation there are still areas that can be refined and techniques modified to try and do each procedure even better.

Continued medical education, with courses such as these, is the cornerstone of appraisal and revalidation for doctors in the future.  Patients can then be reassured that their surgeon is always up to date with the latest advances in their field of surgery”

With the arrival of spring, it’s natural to start thinking of the coming summer months and holidays, and the impending beach body battle that many of us go through!  Many people consider having cosmetic surgery, and a breast enlargement procedure tends to be one of the most requested procedures - this has been so for the past decade.  It may be that you have small or underdeveloped breasts and would like a larger or fuller look this summer?

The key to a positive outcome is to ensure you chose a professionally accredited surgeon to perform the procedure for you, in a modern regulated healthcare environment without having to travel far from your home, or importantly, from your surgeon for post-operative appointments.

Breast enlargement (or augmentation) surgery is suited to most women of all ages, although many surgeons will not operate on anyone under the age of 18, to ensure the breasts are fully developed.  The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and involves an overnight stay in hospital.

David Oliver will offer you a thorough consultation to ensure that you both understand what you are trying to achieve, and to decide upon the shape and size of the implant that you require. He will perform your operation and will see you post-operatively, so that you are always under his care.

Mr Oliver, Consultant Plastic Surgeon says:

“Many women request the most natural results from breast augmentation, whilst others would like to go a little larger. Implant selection is the key and I will discuss the shapes and styles available and show photographs of the possible outcomes with different choices.  Understanding the desired results, and discussing with the patient their implant choices, is the key to successful breast augmentation”

Choosing to have this procedure is an important decision, and you must feel comfortable with your choice of surgeon and ensure that you are fully informed and not pressurised. Mr Oliver's and his team will support you throughout  this process.

Dr Heden is one of the world's leading experts on breast augmentation and facial aesthetic surgery with experience of performing nearly 16,000 breast augmentation procedures.

Mr Oliver and colleagues were invited to visit Dr Heden in Stockholm and he assisted him with a breast augmentation case, as the photograph shows.

On returning to the UK, Mr Oliver said "Whatever your experience there will always be a little more to learn in order to refine and improve your results further".

David Oliver uses only the highest quality breast implants and therefore none of  his patients have been affected by the PIP implant situation.

Following stories in the media recently concerning a French manufacturer (“PIP”) of breast implants and a possible link to cancer, if women are concerned they should contact the surgeon who carried out their operation.

A recent patient experience:

"Upon finding out that I had PIP implants I decided that I wanted them removed as soon as possible.

By coincidence, Mr David Oliver from the Ramsay Health Care Group was coming to Guernsey so I made an appointment to see him, and after meeting him and his team I had no hesitation in booking my operation which was made very quickly from my initial meeting with them.

I flew from Guernsey to Exeter on Friday which is only a 30 minute flight away, so no long train journeys, I was met by a private car and driven to the Mount Stuart Hospital in Torquay where I was given premium care, and was looked after by all staff to a very high standard. I had an en-suite room which was very private and all nursing staff was kind and thoughtful.

 I had my operation on Saturday morning and then flew back to Guernsey on Sunday afternoon.

Having the back up of aftercare at the MSG group in Guernsey is very reassuring as most clinics in the UK do not have this.

I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Oliver and his staff for any cosmetic procedures and thank them all for their genuine and professional care at all times from the first meeting to the post op appointment."
