If you're interested in taking a deeper dive into some of the contentious topics in plastic surgery, or just getting some insight into how Dr Campbell-Lloyd approaches surgery, our blog may be a useful resource for you.
Dr Campbell-Lloyd's personal blog
Dr Campbell-Lloyd has been writing on breast surgery for many years and over time we've seen the topics discussed evolve to cover everything from breast reconstruction to social media, breast implant illness and how we approach capsulectomy.
The blog posts link back to the relevant procedure pages on the main website here (and vice-versa) depending on the topic being discussed, and we recommend using these resources in combination if you're researching breast surgery (whether with us, or with another surgeon). As always, the more you know, the better prepared you will be for surgery.
Here is are some of the topics we've been discussing recently:
Plastic Surgery podcasts - why you should consume the information presented in podcasts with caution.
Breast augmentation failure - what does it mean when a breast augmentation "fails", and why is it inevitable?
Experience vs evidence - this has been something of a recurring theme recently. Our recent publication has gone to print highlighting our experience with drainless explant surgery.
How your breast augmentation can affect your explant surgery - a long read, this article looks at the ways in which the breast augmentation surgeon (and their technique) can make explant harder or easier
Should explant surgery be done in 1 stage, or 2 stages? - in Dr Campbell-Lloyd's practice, the vast majority of explant procedures are done in 1 stage.
Does your surgeon need to believe in BII to offer explant? - a bit of a contentious article this one, but a worthwhile exploration of how "belief" in BII has been exploited by surgeons. A timely reminder that endless photos of "en bloc" capsulectomy do not reflect a good surgeon, or patients with good aesthetic outcomes.
Explant regret - this is not common, but it must be considered by any patient thinking about explant.
Bad outcomes after explant surgery: why it happens and how we can fix it - increasingly relevant as explant surgery increases in popularity. I am seeing more and more ladies whose explant outcomes are poor and require correction. This article should be read in conjunction with the article above on "Does your surgeon need to believe in BII to offer explant?".
What does good value in plastic surgery look like? - value may be in the eye of the beholder, but perhaps we can offer a more objective assessment. The best surgeons aren't necessarily those charging the most. Go figure.
Post-op complications: how common are they and what happens if you get one? - no matter how careful we are, complications happen. How we deal with them and how we take care of our patients when complications happen defines us as a practice.
