"I went to see David Ross on the understanding that being a reconstructive comestic surgeon he would be good .

For purely vanity reasons I wanted a more defined and bigger chest ( one I could not achieve despite my efforts going to the gym ) I approached him. In order to have MALE pectoral implants . ( I already had small pectoral implants in my chest.
I found David Ross to be charming and very convincing that he knew what he was doing . I had also done the research and we discussed his intentions. Which I was comfortable with . Having undergone the proceedure previously some years earlier I knew what to expect.
I booked and paid for my surgery he recommended putting a custom made implants over the ones already in situ and sewing the two together so they didnt slip
I had already been through the procedure before with the smaller implants so I knew where the incisions would and should be. knew what to expect .

I had also seen the original surgeon who was reluctant to re operate on my pectoral implants a second time as he believed it could introduce complications . So I foolishly sought advise elsewhere. In this instance David Ross.( my first big mistake )
David Ross told me he had performed the proceedure several times before. And despite me asking to see photo graphs of his work he was unable to show me .( my second big mistake )
Post -op. Things were a very different story
First the incision that should have been made in the crease under my arm as to conceal it was actually a 6 vertical incision either side of my chest. In line with my arms . The so called custom made implants were not symmetrical. This resulted some weeks later a Permanent filler being injected into my right pectoral to try and balance the symmetry. (Approx 60-80 mls. The product has since been withdrawn from the market my Third mistake )

To cut a very long story short , I went to another surgeon. In the States to remove the implants and had the procedure repeated in Miami I then spent an additional £5000 in the U.K. having the filler removed as it had gone hard and was
Painful ( to remove any permanent filler is highly specialised and difficult for any surgeon and costly for the patient ) invoking pre op CT scan .

I instructed a solicitor to act on my behalf. As I had secured a full set of my medical records upon request. From David Ross.s private practice. The lawyer acting on my behalf who specialised in clinical negligence agreed. I had a case against him .
The difficulty I had was that Male pectoral implants surgery is very specialised and none of the surgeons who perform this proceedure were prepared to become involved . So thAt resulted in a £3000 legal bill. Without. Any progress ( a very lucky escape for David Ross ) all of this fell just outside of the legal time frame where Uoon a patient. Is able to raise a claim against their surgeon for possible clinical. Negligence.
If you feel you may have a case for a lawsuit you need to act swiftly as collating information and building a case is both very. Drawn out , time consuming and costly having done so I estimate I have spent in the region including legal fees somewhere in the region of £18000 in order to correct his poor work , despite having had scar revision
I have two permanent scars where they should never have been . At the time David Ross. Confirmed the incisions would be under the arm .
Having seen two of the top rated comestic surgeons in London. Both agreed David Ross.s Work was unacceptable.
If you are considering. Surgery I strongly recommend you do your research and go on recommendation .
I have since read David Ross w1 plastics ltd and being sued for another botched surgery .

The base line. Think VERY seriously who you would trust to do your surgery"
