Purity Bridge

I chose Dr. Nugent for my breast implant change because of her reputation as a skilled surgeon, and while I am satisfied with the aesthetic quality of the surgical result, I feel that the consultation process left much to be desired. I’m sharing this review in the hope that it helps future patients approach their consultations more effectively.

During my initial consultation, we agreed to change implants with a noticeable increase in size, in Nora’s words, but not too big. When I mentioned that another doctor had recommended 500cc implants, Dr. Nugent advised that they would be “too big” and recommended 440cc instead. While I appreciated her expertise, I wanted to ensure her recommendation would achieve the results I envisioned. To gain clarity, I scheduled a second consultation with my husband present so we could both understand the reasoning behind her recommendation.

During this meeting, we raised concerns that 440cc might not create a significant enough change compared to my previous implant size of 325cc. We asked for visual aids or comparative photos to help us understand the likely outcome, but these requests were dismissed, with Dr. Nugent saying they would not be useful. Despite our reservations, I trusted her expert opinion and proceeded with her recommended size.

Now that I’ve seen the results, I feel the change is more subtle than I had envisioned, and I wish I had been provided with better tools during the consultation to validate her recommendations or explore other options. While the surgical result is technically sound and aesthetically pleasing, it does not align with the noticeable change I had hoped for.

Dr. Nugent is undoubtedly a highly skilled surgeon, but I believe the consultation process could be improved to better accommodate patients’ concerns and provide clearer evidence for the recommendations made. For anyone considering surgery, I would strongly advise asking for visual comparisons, challenging recommendations when necessary, and ensuring you feel fully confident and aligned with the proposed plan before proceeding.

I had a tummy tuck last May. Absolutely brilliant job.
No after-surgery issues whatsoever and less than a year later, my scar is fading to the point where it is hard to see.
Previous to that I had a brow lift and again, fantastic results. Thank you, Marc Pacifico

The care and attention I have received from everyone I have encountered at Purity Bridge has been faultless. I have felt truly listened to and respected and my procedure could not have gone any better. I only wish I had done my research all those years ago and made this clinic my first port of call.

In April 2016 I underwent a bi-lateral breast reduction, performed by consultant surgeon Marc Pacifico. I am utterly delighted with the results and cannot recommend Marc and his team at Purity Bridge highly enough.

At every stage, from initial consultations, the operation itself and subsequent after care visits, I felt fully supported by everyone and totally confident that I had chosen the right surgeon and the right clinic. With a team of highly trained, professional and very friendly staff, the main aim of everyone at Purity Bridge was for a successful and happy outcome for my personal aesthetic journey.

The results of my surgery are fantastic and Marc's skill as a surgeon has given me a wonderful natural new look, it is still my body, but a better version of my body and I cannot underestimate the enormously positive way it has altered how I feel about myself.
My GP recommended Marc Pacifico and his team at Purity Bridge, and from the moment I walked through the doors I felt welcomed and comfortable. Surgery is not to be undertaken lightly and understandably you can feel a little nervous, but throughout I felt supported and every question was answered openly & clearly and I was fully informed about all aspects of my surgery.
And I must add that the new consulting rooms and facilities that Purity Bridge has just moved to are first class, and will allow Marc and his colleagues to offer a greater range of in-house procedures.
I have no hesitation in fully recommending anyone considering any form of aesthetic procedure to go and have a chat with with Marc and the team at Purity Bridge."

My skin was looking tired and I wanted more than a facial. I was a little nervous about Face Peels but the lovely Sue Mitchell explained the process and I am so, so pleased I said Yes! I have just finished my last peel, I chose a course of 4 and my skin is looking beautifully fresh. I have already had unsolicited compliments, such a boost. I would say keep a few days free for the peeling to finish, I still went out but the peeling is evident in the beginning. The result makes the Face Peel very good value.

I had fillers and treatment for wrinkles with Sue and i was very please with the result she is very understanding and know what you want with excellent results.

First impression, the staff are very friendly, then i met Sue who did my fillers and treatment for wrinkles , she listen to you and advise and felt really relaxed with her .
Over all i would say , i am very happy with the result and the service.

I had a large cyst removed from my left cheek by Darrell Coombes the treatment I received in his clinic was first class the result was all I hoped for very small scar that is hardly visible very pleased .

Marc Pacifico was unable to treat me in the timescale I required as I needed to have it done for my daughters wedding. He refered me to mr coombes who carried a out the surgery I required great team of people very caring first class surgeons and staff at purity bridge.

lip filer

Lip filler carried out by Sue. She is a consummate professional who pays close and meticulous attention to detail and did a first class job. I have had a similar procedure carried out by Sue before and can thoroughly recommend her.

After I contacted the clinic, they got back to me the next day with a friendly email. They also called me back to answer my questions and I was really glad they took the time to go through all the details with me of what would suit me personally. I felt like a valued patient, which was great.

I'm still going to this clinic for treatment and would return because I'm really happy with how they've treated me each time I've been here for treatment. The only thing I would improve is the limited parking, but I'm happy with everything else.

I had tried everything to reduce my lower belly. I decided to seek advice and found Mr Pacifico. On our initial consultation I was able to ask him all the questions I had about Liposuction. He was fantastic. He was honest about the procedure and extremely honest about the possible outcome. He allowed me to ask several questions and answered every one. He was extremely easy to talk to so I felt confident in expressing my concerns. He also asked me several questions to ensure I was a good candidate for the procedure. At the end of this initial discussion I knew exactly what to expect and what results were likely to be achieved.

I decided to book in for the procedure and can honestly say it is the best decision I ever made. The actual procedure was pretty pain free. I was uncomfortable when I came too after but not in actual pain. Mr Pacifico checked on me several times before and after the procedure as did nurses and other medical staff. I was back home within hours. The most uncomfortable thing was wearing the medical corset! Mr Pacifico was available if I needed to ring him for any concerns following the treatment, but I didn't need too. I met with him a week after the procedure and then a couple of times over the next 6 months to check progress. Mr Pacifico was able to meet me in a hospital local to me which was very convenient, and again answered all my questions.

The results were exactly how Mr Pacifico had described. At times I was concerned the procedure had not worked but as Mr Pacifico had told me (many times!) the swelling takes a while, he reassured me and showed me many before and after photos, he also took before and after photos of me so I could track my progress. A year later, a huge difference. I can honestly say Mr Pacifico changed my life.

Very pleased with the result and the price.

It has been a long journey since my first initial appointment with Marc over a year ago, with a couple of bumps along the way. The main two being the emotional roller coaster the week or so after (regret, fear, tears, guilt!) and also the 'dog ears' i had from surgery (google the terms if unsure!). But these are both just ones of those things and always a risk with this procedure. The emotional rollar coaster was temporary and normal for some, and the dog ears were amended 7-8 months later at no extra cost or fuss.
The scars i have are thicker than most peoples but this may be due to being a smoker before surgery and once again now I have recovered. I have used silicone gel and sheets as early as I could and tried to be strict with it too. A year on the scars have flattened and are now white around the breast but are still reddy/pink down the breast. Hopefully this will improve over the next year, obviously everyone is different in how we heal. Either way I have come to terms with them I think and I am happy with the results now and feel so much more comfortable and confident in my clothes and when exercising, hence I don't regret my decision at all :) Marc and his team are all so lovely and supportive and always been there to answer my concerns. From the outset they all made me so comfortable and I felt I could trust them, which was so important. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you again for everything :)
