Tummy Tuck Bristol, UK

A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You, Lisa For 27 years, I’ve had a complicated relationship with my body. While I’ve always been deeply grateful for what it has done—especially supporting me through the birth of my amazing, healthy children—I’ve also carried a deep sense of shame about my excess skin and muscle separation. This internal conflict brought with it a constant undercurrent of guilt. I felt blessed to be a mother, yet I was quietly grieving the body I once knew. I spent so much energy trying to hide my tummy, feeling anxious about getting changed in front of others, avoiding certain types of exercise because the skin would get in the way, and struggling with lower back pain, constipation, and a lack of confidence in intimate moments—all of it linked to how I felt about my abdomen. For years, I would stand in front of the mirror, holding in my tummy, dreaming of feeling comfortable and proud in my own skin. I began researching abdominoplasty and spoke to many people who had gone through the surgery. One name kept coming up: Lisa Sacks. Over the years, I worked hard to be healthy in both body and mind, and I came to realise that surgery was the final piece of my self-care puzzle. When I contacted Lisa’s office, I spoke to Liana, who was so warm, kind, and informative. From the first conversation, I had this overwhelming sense: this is it — this is my time. We get one life, and there is no better investment than in your wellbeing. Meeting Lisa confirmed everything I had hoped. She seemed to understand me on a deeper level as though she could read my mind. She knew this wasn’t just about removing excess skin or tightening muscles — this was about restoring confidence and healing my identity. I felt truly seen. My experience at the Nuffield Hospital was equally positive. The care was exceptional, and even the food was wonderful! Lisa prepared me thoroughly for surgery, ensuring I was informed not just physically, but emotionally. I felt ready and supported at every stage. The surgery went smoothly, and during my two-night stay, the care from the entire team was outstanding. What has truly set this journey apart, though, is the aftercare. Lisa’s approach is deeply compassionate—she makes you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. And the results? I feel reborn. I am absolutely thrilled—not only with my flat tummy, my beautifully shaped belly button, and strong abdominal muscles—but with how I feel in myself. My confidence has returned. My scar is barely noticeable — thin, flat, and a testament to Lisa’s remarkable skill and artistic eye. She is, quite simply, a sculptor. This journey has been one of the greatest acts of self-love I’ve ever undertaken. I’m endlessly grateful to Lisa and her team for helping me feel strong, empowered, and whole again.

After researching abdominoplasty for 11 years since having my first child I finally decided that this was the right time to take the plunge. I’d finished having children and was at a stable bodyweight that I was happy with, other than my saggy apron belly. I chose Anthony Macquillan because his chosen speciality was nerve trauma. This told me that he would take extra care. I wasn’t wrong. From the initial call to his secretary Amanda to meeting Anthony and his nurse Michelle I felt at ease, all my questions were answered fully and I was excited to proceed with the surgery. I had a full abdominoplasty with diastasis recti repair. I am now 8 weeks post op and my results are fantastic. Anthony is a magician. I look like I did in my teens. I’m thrilled with my results. I can’t recommend Anthony and his team enough! I have already given his details to all of my friends.

Excellent treatment throughout from Mr Pleat and all the team, superb follow-up service from nurses for dressing changes and regular reviews with Mr Pleat. Would highly recommend them.
