Cosmetic Breast Surgery
This site is a comprehensive source of information about Cosmetic Breast Surgery. It has been designed and authored by Mr Philip Turton, a leading Specialist Consultant Breast, Oncoplastic and Cosmetic Breast Surgeon. His Specialist Aesthetic Breast Surgery practice (all assessments, surgery and out-patients) is located at the Spire Hospital Leeds and the Leeds Nuffield Hospital, and all treatment is performed by Mr Turton.
Mr Turton has Full Registration on the GMC Specialist Register (GMC number 3613582) and holds a Substantive post as a Consultant Breast and Reconstructive Breast Surgeon at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, based at Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds, UK. Mr Turton is also an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Surgery for the Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. He teaches medical students and junior doctors about the basic principles of surgery and the specialist area of breast surgery. He is also a surgical trainer for Specialist Registrars learning the intricacies of Cosmetic Breast Surgery, Reconstructive Breast Surgery and Oncoplastic Breast Surgery. He is a member of the Education and Training Committee of the Association of Breast Surgery at BASO.
Mr Turton's NHS and Private Practice is based almost exclusively in the Specialty of Breast, Cosmetic Breast and Reconstructive Breast Surgery. Mr Turton is both an Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon (He uses breast plastic surgery skills combined with breast oncology surgery skills) and an Aesthetic Breast Surgeon (He has a dedicated special interest in Cosmetic Breast Surgery).
Mr Turton's Private Practice is dedicated to Cosmetic Breast Surgical procedures and surgery for breast problems. The commonest operation he performs is breast augmentation. He provides a comprehensive cosmetic breast surgery service (especially breast enlargement, implant surgery, reductions and breast uplifts). He offers breast enhancement with anatomical (shaped = tear drop) implants and the most natural shaped round implants, which is one of his specialist areas; he provides a full biodimensional planning service, an essential service to any person having breast enlargement. Mr Turton provides all aspects of aesthetic breast surgery and more.
The latest styles of anatomical implants and the natural shaped round implants encompass a diverse range of specialist products. Mr Turton also offers a professional and state of the art Computer Assisted Imaging Software Service to facilitate implant selection. This has huge advantages in some patients who have lost breast shape after prior pregnancies or those who have never had much breast development before and are quite thin. Please contact his secretary directly to book this service at his Saturday planning clinic at Spire Hospital Leeds (formally called BUPA Hospital Leeds, but recently renamed as part of the National Sales Stategy)- Lisa Harris, on 07904315576.
The McGhan (now called Allergan) style 410 soft-touch breast implants and the dual gel style 510 implants are very specialised tear drop shape Generation 5 high cohesive gel products. The moderate profile Allergan textured round implants can offer a smilar very natural result, (and often superior result!), with appropriate selection; and Mr Turton will talk you through the selection process. In addition the option of using the micropolyurethane coated silicone implants (the "furry Brazilian implant") is available giving patients access to an implant with an extremely low capsulation rate. Mr Turton has a very extensive experience with breast implants.
Mr Turton performs correctional breast implant surgery for patients who have had complications from implants placed elsewhere. Patients travel to his clinic from all over the UK; details of the best way to access his expertise when travelling from more remote parts of the UK or abroad will be provided on contacting his secretary (see consultation section for details).
The recent International withdrawal of the PIP (Poly Implant Prostheses) breast implant (a French manufacturer whose implants were marketed in the UK in many clinics) has led to a flurry of referrals for Mr Turton to revise. Patients with these PIP implants should have a consultation and consider exchanging them for a different manufacturer. These implants had been of a concern as they contained non-medical grade silicone! Please contact Lisa Harris, on 07904315576 to arrange this consulation. Mr Turton can retain the removed implants in most cases so that they can be returned to the patient if required for medical reports.
Mr Turton also specialises in the assement of male breast disorders. Male breast tissue excess (gynaecomastia) and fatty male breast tissue (usually called lipomastia or pseudo-gynaecomastia) requires particular expertise to treat. Excision of firm tissue and liposuction of fatty tissue may be required.

Both hospitals have state of the art equipment, comprehensive services and seamless integration with the multidiciplinary teams, as well as highly motivated professional and experienced staff. Of particular importance is that the hospital rates are amongst the most competitive in the UK.
