I recently had breast augmentation with Mr Hodgins and I couldn't be happier with my results. Mr Hodgins listened to everything that I wanted to achieve and gave me lots of advice and helped me pick the perfect size for frame which I'm so happy with and the natural look that I hoped for. Mr Hodgins was very friendly and professional from I first met him at the consultation and explained everything thoroughly. My recovery was a lot easier than I ever expected and I have healed so well. I was very nervous on the day of surgery but Mr Hodgins and all the team put me at ease and where so friendly and professional. I am so glad that I went ahead with my surgery and am so happy with the results, everything went so smoothly!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Hodgins to anyone. He really took the time to explain everything in detail, went through all potential risks involved and showed example before and after pictures for the procedure I was interested in. I'm very happy with the final results, exactly what I wanted.

I recently had my breast implants removed and replaced by Mr Hodgins. The procedure was completed quickly and professionally from consulation to operation. I was really worried about being in pain and having extended downtime but I was pleasantly surprised that I only had mild discomfort for two days and was able to return to my normal routine within 5-7 days. Recovery was fast, my scars healed quickly and the overall result was exactly what I asked for. Mr Hodgins and his team were excellent from start to finish and a procedure that I was worried about turned out to be much easier than anticipated. I would recommend Mr Hodgins and would like to thank him for looking after me so well and for making the whole process so positive.

I recently underwent breast augmentation with Mr Hodgins. I did a lot of research into the procedure & Mr Hodgins came highly recommended & from my experience, the praise is absolutely warranted. I met with Mr Hodgins twice before the surgery and he answered all of my questions fully, patiently and honestly. He listened to everything I said & I was in no doubt going into surgery that we were on the same page & that the results would be entirely proportionate with my petite frame. The nurses in The Fitzwilliam Clinic were also wonderful throughout the process and they could not have made me feel more at ease- both at the initial consultations and on the day of surgery. I was really surprised by how swift the recovery was after the procedure. After a day or two of slight discomfort (which was managed really well by the pain killers prescribed by the team after the surgery) by day 4 I didn’t even need to take pain medication & was able to work from home the following week. The results have far surpassed my expectations & I just wish I’d done this sooner. I would absolutely recommend The Fitzwilliam Clinic & Mr Hodgins to anyone who is considering breast augmentation surgery knowing that they’ll receive first class treatment & service.

I have just had my 6 week follow up appointment with Mr Hodgins after a breast reduction and I genuinely could not be happier with the results! The whole team involved have been outstanding from start to finish, every question I asked was answered and all information was given to me clearly up front. The procedure went perfectly as well as the healing process, there was zero pain following it at all which I was shocked at. The entire process was exceptionally easy and I felt reassured the whole time. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner, i feel brilliant!

I could not recommend Dr Hodgins enough. I went to another clinic and came out worried as I thought the breast implant size was too big that the recommended. I was looking a natural result to just fill the loose skin after 3 children I breastfed and I didn’t feel the other clinic was going to do that after trying the size of implant on they put in a bra to give me an idea. I needed a second opinion and after meeting with dr hodgins I came out of the consultation excited for my surgery. He listened to everything I had said and I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. 5 weeks on I was doing pull ups in the gym. The first 3 days were probably the worst in terms of pain but the analgesia they provided helped with that. Thank you so much again Dr hodgins I couldn’t be more happier with the result.

After researching various clinics for my breast augmentation, I ultimately decided to choose the Fitzwilliam Clinic, and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, all of the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional, which made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the whole process. Dr Nicholas Hodgins was also very welcoming and took the time to listen carefully to everything I wanted. He understood my expectations perfectly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel confident in my decision. His attention to detail really stood out. My surgery went very smoothly, and my recovery was much easier than I expected, with little to no pain. I’m now 2 months post-op and I could not love my results more. They have completely met all of the expectations I had hoped for, and I feel extremely happy and confident. I would highly recommend the Fitzwilliam Clinic to anyone considering surgery and looking for a caring and supportive team.

So pleased that I went with Mr Nicholas Hodgins at the Fitzwilliam Clinic Belfast for my recent breast reduction surgery. My surgery went smoothly and I was home the same day. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly any post surgery discomfort settled and I healed quickly with no issues. The surgery has had such a positive impact on my day to day life and overall health and mindset. I would wholeheartedly recommend the surgery and would advise anyone thinking about having breast surgery to consider Mr Hodgins for your procedure. All of my interactions with the different staff at Fitzwilliam Clinic were both warm and professional. Delighted with the care I received especially the post op care.
