We would like you to know that, at The Westbourne Centre, we have never used PIP implants. We only use high quality medical grade breast implants from long established reputable manufacturers.

If you have had Breast Augmentation and you are not sure what implants you have, contact the clinic, hospital or surgeon who carried out your operation and ask about the type of implants you have. Remember, you are entitled to get the precise information on this.

Have you ever had the uncomfortable experience of booking a dental appointment, arriving, then quickly realising you and the dentist are not on the same wavelength about dental care? Perhaps it's their bedside manner, or just a difference about how quickly to take action when a 'watch' is noted. And short of family relocation, a dentist is often a lifetime professional.

The Westbourne Centre understands these delicate situations and is offering new patients a chance to meet our dentist, Dr Gilly Mackenzie, over a cup of tea.

Pop in a for a quick chat and take the stress out of choosing your dental health professional. Saturday, 13 July 2013 between 10am and 12 noon

Mr Fazel Fatah, immediate past president of BAAPS, cautions us to dig into the detail of the study published in the British Medical Journal on Monday stating cosmetic breast implants increase a woman's risk of cancer.

Mr Fazel Fatah, one of the most experienced consultant plastic surgeons in the UK and immediate past president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, BAAPS, is speaking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (ICA) on 9 March as part of the ‘Contemporary Body’ event.

The Westbourne Centre fully supports the review of cosmetic practice that is led by Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director for the NHS, and is actively looking into the regulation of cosmetic surgery. The high-profile story on Sky News about plastic surgeons who conduct surgeries then neglect proper patient follow-up care is a proof that tight regulations are necessary to protect patients.
