I had a breast augmentation 12 months ago, with Dr. Hodgkinson. This was something very personal to me as I have had small breasts my whole life (A-B cup). From the consultation, it turns out my breasts hadn’t developed properly as a teenager and I had mildly tuberous breasts. My life is quite conservative, I wanted to fill out my clothes but didn’t want to end up with unnatural looking breasts. Naturally my hips were wider than my bust and I was looking to put them both in proportion. Dr Hodgkinson measured my frame and suggested I go with a 325cc implant. This has given me a small D cup.

I was very concerned that everyone would notice and judge me for having this procedure. To be honest no one has commented, I told a few close friends and immediate family and they were all very supportive. I always knew something wasn’t quite right with my breasts and am so glad I saw Dr. Hodgkinson about it. My confidence grew and I was literally a new person after the surgery. Cliché, but true. Wish I’d done it earlier! Dr Hodgkinson and his team are an absolute dream throughout the whole experience. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Dr Hodgkinson did my daughter's rhinoplasty. She was very self-conscious about her nose all through high school. We used the holiday period over Christmas to give her the graduation present she wanted. We are all very happy with the result and with the care we received by Dr Hodgkinson and his staff. Most importantly our daughter who always was and always will be beautiful to us now seems to be walking on sunshine and has the confidence to face the next phase in her life at uni this year.

Dr Hodgkinson did eyelid surgery on me. My eyelids were hanging down and the skin was saggy. It made me look tired because I couldn't open up my eyes. Now my eyes look more alert and lovely. It is easier to apply makeup too. I am happy with the outcome. I'll recommend my friends.

I was looking for buttock implant surgery and found Dr Hodgkinson. As soon as I saw him he made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could trust him. We spoke about the size and he showed be a size to try. I wanted the biggest while it still looked natural. He advised around 300cc for my frame as I am a small build. I went ahead with the procedure and absolutely love it, I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror every morning. I'm 9 weeks post op now. Thank you very very much Dr. Hodgkinson!

I had nose surgery with Dr Hodgkinson & he did a really good job. At my first appointment one of the staff spent a lot of time with me doing images on the computer of what I might look like after surgery. This really helped me gain the confidence to go ahead with it. I looked a bit beaten up and bruised after the surgery but they said that is normal. The most important thing is that I really like my new nose & it looks almost exactly like the one I had images of.

Great doctor and great staff. I did a lot of research before I had my tummy tuck and everything has worked out super well!

I recently had a facelift and eyelid surgery. I was looking quite what I guess you would call haggard. Dr Hodgkinson and his team were very patient and kind to me. A big thanks to nurse Trish who spent the first night after surgery with me and was really there for me. All the staff were really great and Dr Hodgkinson especially.

I recently had breast implants done by Dr Hodgkinson as an early Christmas present to myself. I had saved up after a friend had hers done by Dr Hodgkinson a few years ago . I am really happy with how they look. I am also really happy that he used the saline implants with some of the worry about breast implants I read in magazines.
