I was invited to a talk on the radio this morning about scar management following a story of a football supporter who had been attacked and had sustained a long laceration to his cheek. The conversation revolved around the scarring and the emotional impact of scars and what can be done about it. I am […]
We have just been planning how we would like to move forward with the STAIANO Clinic in 2019 and one of my big goals is to create a community for our patients where you really feel like you are being listened to and looked after. This is something I have always tried to do and […]
One of the founding principles of my clinic is to deliver a patient experience over and above expectation. I spend a lot of time thinking about how the clinic is perceived by potential patients, to work out ways that we can deliver a better service, give more relevant information, and increase patient satisfaction. I often […]
Times have changed and patients are becoming a lot more informed these days with the freely accessible wealth of information available on the internet. There is no need to pay for information anymore and the days of people investing in the Encyclopaedia Britannica are long gone. The value these days comes in the interpretation of […]
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.

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 […]
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. Anything with the term laser in it is deemed to be futuristic and therefore better than the old-fashioned ways, and indeed […]
It is not uncommon for us to see people here at the clinic who have had surgery many years before. Typical examples would be patients who have breast implants and may now have some problems with them or would like a different size or shape, or maybe a patient who had a breast lift many […]
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 […]
