Thu 14 November 2024
Just want to say to your personally how hugely grateful I am for the wonderful treatment I have received from you and your team. From the very first appointment I felt cared for and confident that I was in good hands. You are a great listener and understood and helped me cope with all the various issues that arose and enabled me deal with the situation physically and emotionally. Your empathy, calmness, warmth, kindness were a great help to me when things were particularly difficult and I felt well cared for by both you and Sandie. I am absolutely delighted with the amazing job you have done on my reconstruction after my mastectomy and how skilfully you have matched it to the other breast. I would wholeheartedly recommend you and DRG Plastic Surgery Ltd to anyone considering having work done and give it the maximum amount of stars possible!

You gave me back my feminine and identity - I will be forever grateful.
Fri 1 November 2024
First of all I simply want to say thank you for taking such good care of me both physically and mentally. When I first met you, I was really struggling with very low if non existent self esteem and couldn’t see a time ahead where I would feel like a real woman again. Your support and encouragement over the last 2 years has been extraordinary and I genuinely believe that your care and dare I say friendship has helped me return to my old happy self. You gave me back my feminine and identity - I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

His expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled
Thu 26 September 2024
I had the absolute pleasure of having my breast augmentation done by the incredible Mr. David Gateley at DRG Plastic Surgery Ltd., and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation to my post-op follow-ups, the entire experience was flawless. David was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. I felt completely safe and in the best hands possible. His expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled, and he took the time to listen to my concerns and expectations, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. The results are beyond my expectations – natural, beautifully done, and exactly what I was hoping for. I’m so thrilled with the outcome, and it’s all thanks to David’s skill and care. I would 10000% recommend David Gateley to anyone considering surgery. You won’t find a better, more talented, and caring surgeon. Thank you, David, and the whole team at DRG Plastic Surgery for making this such a positive and life-changing experience!

I always felt at ease
Thu 18 July 2024
I had grade 1 double gynecomastia removal three months ago. From the first consultation, to the surgery a month later, all the way through to the 6 week post-op appointment, I always felt at ease. I was confident that I was being told the truth, expectations made clear and risks also, rather than being ‘sold’ the procedure. The team at the hospital was incredibly warm, and three months later I could not be happier with the result, with near invisible scarring already. Could not recommend this procedure and this practice enough to those who are able to who are struggling with the mental consequences of gynecomastia particularly.

5 stars, I would highly recommend Mr Gateley
Thu 16 May 2024
I would highly recommend Mr Gateley. Having opted for a short scar facelift, the whole journey was incredibly professional, empathetic, along with a warm but no nonsense approach. Just what I wanted. Throughout the entire process, I always got all the information and care I needed, alongside the experienced and superb support from his Kensington Medical team. Mr Gateley’s post surgical care was attentive and second to none, and importantly for me, the result is just fantastic!!

Very caring and made sure I was happy with the results
Thu 25 April 2024
This was my second surgery with Mr David Gateley. The first was following advice to remove PIP implants which were inserted by a different surgeon. Everything went so well and after 12 years the implants needed replacing due to capsular contracture. I had no hesitation in going back to David for the operation. From the initial consultations and pre op appointments I felt totally at ease. He explained everything so thoroughly and patiently answered my queries and concerns. Following the surgeries he was very caring and made sure I was happy with the results and asked if I had any further questions. The follow up appointments went well and I was signed off but also told to contact him at any time if I had any issues or concerns. I would 100% recommend David Gateley.

Very pleased with my results. It was a big step initially for me to correct a few things I was not happy with for years. After a few consultations and meetings with a couple of former patients who had the same procedures carried out, I finally made the decision to go ahead with surgeon Mr. David Gateley and his team. I would not hesitate recommending the staff and services at DRG Plastic Surgery.

I have my confidence back
Fri 18 August 2023
I would like to thank Mr Gateley for the incredible transformation of my breasts. I had been very unhappy with my breasts for many years, 4 pregnancies and age left me with very little and what I had was sagging. It was still a big decision to make but after a few consultations with Mr Gateley I felt totally reassured and ready to take the plunge! WOW what a result, everything went perfectly and I feel like a woman again, I have my confidence back and can wear whatever i like. i am now 2 months post op and the scars (anchors) are fading fast, my breasts look full and youthful, absolutely over the moon, I never believed they could be this good considering what Mr Gateley had to work with. I wanted to share my experience and show the transformation for anyone seeking a little reassurance, Mr Gateley really is the surgeon to put your trust, hope and belief in, I am so glad I’ve done this, no regrets whatsoever. I BIG thank you to Mr Gateley and his team.

Clearly an expert at making you feel safe in his hands
Thu 29 June 2023
I had been thinking about breast reduction for 10 years when I heard about David Gateley. I was incredibly nervous about going under the knife but desperately wanted the operation. It was only by chance that I met somebody else who’d had the op with David and was so happy with him and her new breasts , that I decided to take the leap. My first consultation was very reassuring. David has such a calm and gentle manner, very unassuming, yet clearly an expert at making you feel safe in his hands. There was no hard sell, indeed he didn’t even ask to see my breasts, I showed them anyway! By the end of the consultation, I was ready to have the operation that day. There is a cooling off period of a couple of weeks and I then booked in for the big day. I cannot praise the ladies at DRG plastic surgery enough, both Nicky and Madelaine were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, they helped me decide where to have the operation and organised a chat with the amazing Sandy, who is the after care nurse but who also talks you through everything you need to know , down to what type of post op bras to buy. I decided to have my op at The New Victoria in Kingston and on the morning I arrived , I was greeted by lovely, warm nurses and shortly after being shown to my room, David came to have a chat, talked me through it and drew on my breasts with a rather fetching shade of green pen. Shortly after I was taken down to theatre and again, was met by a lovely anaesthetist ( It seems that if you work with David , you have to be lovely!) Back in my room ,post op, I could already see how amazing the results were and was elated. David came to see me and told me that all had gone well and that he was happy. I stayed the night at the hospital, I could have gone home but chose to stay. I left the next morning and really felt little pain, I wasn’t able to drive for a week or so , the seat belt would have been uncomfortable anyway but was pretty much up and about after a day or so and gently walked my dog. I then went to Naked Health in Kingston for my after care each week, Sandy took out stitches and gently removed the dressings. David was there too at each appointment to check that all was well. I remember David telling me at our first meeting that breast reduction is his favourite operation and I can see why. It’s really life changing , I’ve had to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes ( which is terrible!) I haven’t told many people about the operation but have had many comments about how I look like I’ve lost weight and look fantastic but also someone told me that I walk differently, I guess I’m lighter and more confident! David Gately is brilliant and I would say that he’s the best in his field, so much so that I’ve recommended him to 3 friends, one who has had the op with him since and is also ecstatic with the results and the other two are already booked in with him. My only regret is that I waited 10 years.

youthful, brighter and more symmetrical
Thu 2 March 2023
A huge thank you to Mr Gateley for working real magic with just a few subtle filler injections. Mr Gateley took time to really study my facial symmetry and is an expert with the placement of the filler injections. My whole face looks so much more youthful, brighter and more symmetrical. The results are far better than I could have hoped for and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. Booking the subtle filler injections with Mr Gateley was the best decision I have made in a very long time. I am thrilled with the result and look forward to seeing him again in the future.

I’m more then happy to recommend Miss Rose, she performed my breast cancer reconstruction, from the initial consultation through to the aftercare I felt 100% in the right hands and very thankful to have her as my doctor.

The lightest, most delicate and precise touch
Sat 25 February 2023
"I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Mr Gateley nearly five months ago. I could not be any more delighted with my results! Mr Gateley has the lightest, most delicate and precise touch, which has translated into a superbly youthful appearance around the eyes for me, yet it is subtle enough for no-one to have suspected I’ve had surgery - just a plethora of comments about how fresh and fabulous I am looking! Mr Gateley was a delight throughout - as were his team - and I will undoubtedly be booking in a facelift with him as soon as I can afford it! Would highly recommend."

Please know, Miss Rose, you helped save my life - You are incredible
Thu 21 April 2022
My experience of having plastic surgery with Miss Rose and her amazing team has been incredible. Like most people I was exceptionally nervous and worried about what I would experience and what my surgical results would be like. Upon first meeting Miss Rose during my face to face consultation, I was instantly put at ease. Not only is Miss Rose exceptionally knowledgeable and talented in this area of expertise, but she is personable, respectful and clearly really cares about her patients. I instantly felt that I could trust her and her decision making around my case. I felt I was in very safe hands.

From picking up the phone to arrange to have a consultation to the aftercare has been a total breeze and I have felt so comfortable throughout my journey.

I think it’s critical to choose the right Surgeon and Mr Gateley and his team are absolutely brilliant
Thu 10 February 2022
I first considered Liposuction in the Autumn of 2020 to address the annoying saddle bags and ‘back fat’ that I couldn’t seem to shift. I knew that if I were to have it done, I would ask David Gateley to do it. I had seen him before a couple of years previously for some mole removals and I liked him and trusted him instantly.

I would have given you 6 stars but only 5 were allowed
Thu 18 November 2021
At my initial enquiry, Nicky and Madelaine went out of their way to be helpful and informative, made all the necessary bookings conveniently and made the whole process seem simple and seamless. You took time at the pre-procedure visit to explain everything in detail, which was reassuring. This and the excellent nursing support made the surgery an almost 'non-event' from the patient perspective. And the scar?...imperceptible!

Warmth and kindness to put me at ease

Rebuilding a woman’s breast to match the existing one is part science and part art
Thu 28 October 2021
I was very fortunate to fall into the care of Miss Rose. She worked in tandem with my surgeon, Mr Banerjee to enable me to have immediate DIEP breast reconstruction after he had performed the mastectomy I needed. When I first met her, she explained the entire procedure to me as if it was the first time she was doing it, not the hundredth. She was patient and thorough, drawing me diagrams as she spoke to make it all clear. She was calm and understanding which is just what you need when you feel like all the certainty in your life has just been taken away.

I was totally supported
Thu 17 June 2021
I would like to thank Mr Gateley, Nicky and the nurses at Parkside for making what could had been a terrible experience (a debridement) into a bearable situation. Mr Gateley explained each procedure in language I could understand and discussed the pros and cons of each option that could be used to aid the healing of my wound. After the faster first option failed, they all encouraged me during the four months (three times a week) needed for the expert dressing of the wound until I could dress it myself. Mr Gateley told me it would take time. The healing took seven months. I was totally supported during this time and I knew if I had any problem I could call and they would be there for me.

I was totally supported
Thu 3 June 2021
When you are told the best thing for your breast cancer is to have a mastectomy it is a massive shock! My breast surgeon Mr Sharma put me in touch with Miss Rose and I had a long meeting with her, she gave me a few different options showing me photographs of past patients and by the end of the meeting I had decided to go for a DIEP reconstruction, mainly because I wanted my own body in my own body! I cannot recommend her more highly, I felt completely safe at all times. Madeleine and Nicky were amazing, organising and contacting me for the operations and appointments. I had a wound on my new breast that took quite a while to heal, following a previous lumpectomy. During every dressing clinic I went to, either seeing Miss Rose or Sandy I was reassured every time and eventually it healed well. I had a few more operations to my tummy and to make the breast more even. Now two years on having had a mammogram and ultrasound last week, I am free of cancer and very happy with the outcome. I feel very lucky to have been in such capable hands during a traumatic time in my life. Thank you Miss Rose and your wonderful team.

I cannot recommend highly enough
Thu 3 June 2021
I was recommended to Mr Gateley by a friend and I liked him instantly. I was actually initially unsure as to whether I wanted to undergo the surgery and Mr Gateley did not pressurise me in any way. In fact, I was told to go away and think very carefully about it. It took me the best part of six months to do so! At our second meeting the procedure was explained to me again in detail, the risks associated with it and the results I could expect. Mr Gateley was very clear with me, extremely patient and always charming! I was very well looked after on the day of the surgery and my aftercare too was excellent. I recall sending texts to Mr Gateley with some queries about symptoms I was experiencing well outside ‘office hours’. His response was immediate and reassuring. Mr Gateley is always good humoured and always there to consult with should the need arise, I was quite disappointed when I was ultimately ‘signed off’! I am considering some other procedures in the future (although once again under no pressure to have them) and will without hesitation call on Mr Gateley for his expertise, skill and care. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

INCREDIBLY HAPPY WITH OUTCOME
Thu 21 January 2021
Having had my implants for ten years I knew it was only a matter of time before I would need them replaced and, as it happened, shortly prior to moving abroad I suddenly had some swelling on one of my breasts. After seeing Mr Gateley and having a variety of tests to ascertain the cause of the swelling, which were all expedited incredibly quickly by Mr Gateley and the DRG team, it was recommended I have a bilateral capsulectomy and implant exchange. The procedure was explained to me clearly and care taken to answer any questions I had.

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

If the media is to be believed, for plastic surgery, bigger is always better. You’ll have seen the photos and read about who has and who might have. In reality, the opposite can be true. Breast reduction is a very successful procedure with high levels of patient satisfaction. Women who have suffered years of backache, shoulder pain and difficulty finding clothes that fit, are delighted with surgery that reduces their breast size to one that’s proportional to their frame. So often they comment: I don’t know why I left it so long! One such patient writes about how she feels post-surgery:

PLASTIC SURGERY TO THE RESCUE
Fri 26 October 2018
A common misperception is that plastic surgery focuses only on cosmetic procedures. In reality, plastic surgeons work in all disciplines within a busy hospital. Plastic surgery is one of the few medical disciplines that does not focus on one area of the body, but instead is used anywhere on the body where specialist plastic surgery intervention is needed.

To this end, we’ve included a patient’s narrative of how it felt when surgery wasn’t straightforward.
