Patient story

Simon Hails

Simon, 34, from Newcastle, had gynaecomastia surgery with The Hospital Group. He first considered having this treatment when he was on holiday. He’d lost a substantial amount of weight and wasn’t feeling confident about going outside.”I’d always wear a t-shirt, so at that point I thought I’d go in for the surgery. I discussed this with my family and my wife, and they encouraged me and supported me throughout. And they were the reason I went ahead with this surgery.

“I chose The Hospital Group because I did quite a bit of research on the internet, and I knew some people who’d been through the operation and they recommended it to me. My journey started when I went to the clinic, and they were supportive throughout, with lots of good advice.

Then I came to the hospital in Manchester, and they looked after me one hundred per cent. I met the surgeon, who was very supportive and friendly and explained to me what would happen. I couldn’t be happier with the service I got from them. The aftercare was really good. They kept in contact with me throughout, checking up how I was.

Before surgery I wouldn’t take my top off in public places, going on holiday it was quite uncomfortable, so I wore a t-shirt all the time when I was abroad. But since the surgery I can go out, go swimming, and take my top off.

The biggest difference for me is that I feel a lot more confident going out, socialising, even going on holiday. The advice I would give to anyone considering it is just to go ahead and do it, don’t put it off. I would definitely recommend The Hospital Group again.”

Family and friends are pleased with the results, they’re quite surprised when they see me going around with my top off, they’re quite pleased with the difference
