Eat, drink and be merry (as long as you don’t eat too much)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Christmas is a popular time of year for surgery and you might think that odd because you do not really want to be heaving the turkey in and out of the oven whilst loosening your support bra or clutching your abdominal binder. I can understand the appeal because it […]

What happens to my belly button during a tummy tuck?

It is often a great source of mystery to patients as to what happens to their belly button when they have a tummy tuck. They often think it gets moved or a new one is made. In fact, just before we published this blog post, someone asked this question on one of my Facebook Live […]

Panorama and the breast implant scandal

There has just been a Panorama documentary on about the ‘scandal around breast implants‘. This is obviously of great interest to us because we specialise in cosmetic breast surgery and use a lot of breast implants. I certainly do not want to appear that I am trying to play down any adverse reports or cover […]

Laser excision of a mole versus surgical excision

It is not uncommon for people to enquire about laser excision of a mole here at the Staiano Clinic as I think that sometimes people feel that it is somehow better than surgical excision.

Why you need to keep your documentation if you have surgery

Why we get so many 5 star reviews

  We often see patients who are at the clinic who have a mole or a cyst or a lipoma, which they have never really liked the look of. It may be in a prominent position such as the forehead or the cheek and they have finally decided that it is time to be rid […]

Realistic expectations are the key to happy patients

I am amazed when I hear stories of patients seeing a surgeon in a clinic, only to find on the day of the procedure that a different surgeon is going to operate on them who they have never met before. This is bad practice and uncomfortable for the surgeon and I am sure that it […]

Videographer

We have just appointed a full time videographer to work with us and to document the daily comings and goings at the clinic. I know that to a lot of people, this might not be high up on the list of employees needed for a plastic surgery clinic, but it is something that I put […]

Xanthelasma Removal

Xanthelasma are white plaques or spots that develop around the eyes. The treatment involves surgical removal which can be done here in the clinic on a walk-in, walk-out basis, and this is something we can do with our see and treat service when you can have your xanthelasma removed on the same day as your […]
