Mr Andy Mellington

He prides himself in tailoring treatment to individual patient preference and he offers the full range of ‘TOP’ surgery including hemi-areolar, peri-areolar and double incision techniques. Mr Mellington routinely employs the use of liposuction to sculpt the chest wall contour. He does not use drains but rather uses internal tissue ‘glue’ to minimise risk of fluid collections.
