Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants. This procedure addresses concerns about proportion, symmetry, or volume loss. Dr Jane Paterson provides detailed consultations to determine optimal implant size, shape, and placement. Patients receive comprehensive guidance on recovery and long-term care, ensuring safe, natural-looking results aligned with their body goals.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction alleviates physical discomfort from overly large breasts. The procedure removes excess tissue and skin to create proportionate, comfortable contours. Dr Jane addresses functional concerns like back pain while maintaining aesthetic balance. Patients benefit from improved mobility and confidence through tailored surgical techniques prioritising both form and function.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and tightens underlying muscles. Ideal for post-pregnancy body contouring or post-weight loss reshaping, this procedure creates a flatter, firmer profile. Dr Jane ensures discreet scarring and realistic expectations, combining technical precision with careful post-operative support for optimal recovery and long-lasting results.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reshapes the labia to relieve discomfort from asymmetry or enlargement. This procedure addresses physical pain during activity and emotional distress from self-consciousness. Dr Jane employs meticulous techniques to preserve sensation and natural appearance, prioritising patient comfort and confidentiality throughout the sensitive surgical process.
Breast Lift
Breast lift restores youthful contours by repositioning sagging tissue. This procedure addresses ptosis caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. Dr Jane creates individualised plans to balance symmetry and nipple placement, ensuring natural elevation with minimal visible scarring through advanced surgical techniques and attentive aftercare.

I went into my first consultation appointment with Dr Jane feeling nervous and not knowing what to expect but as soon as we started talking I was made to feel super comfortable and instantly knew Dr Jane was the perfect choice. All my questions were answered at every stage, from the first consultation, day of surgery and all follow up appointments. My whole experience has been incredible, my results have been amazing and totally changed my life, 3 months post op from my breast reduction and I couldn't be happier!!

Dr Jane has completely changed my life. I did a lot of research before scheduling an appointment and it was her professionalism, sensitivity to the female experience and kind nature that make me choose to meet with her. The administrative team, Dr's, Nurses and all hospital staff were incredibly calm, patient and generous with their time answering questions. I felt as though I was in the very best hands from start to finish. The relief I have from my breast reduction cannot be explained but I owe a large part of that to Dr Jane and her amazing team.
