The Westbourne Centre: A Professional Place for Cosmetic Surgery Consultation

The Westbourne Centre is a renowned private medical center in Edgbaston that offers a professional exchange of information between potential patients and the surgeon providing the treatment. The consultation is the initial meeting between the patient and the cosmetic surgeon to discuss the situation and considered procedure. It is an opportunity for both parties to ask questions and understand the motivation for the procedure, the expected outcomes, and specifics such as preparation, technique, and recovery. The purpose of the consultation is to understand the patient’s cosmetic concerns and ensure that expectations are realistic and technically achievable. The surgeon will also confirm that the patient is medically fit to undergo surgery.

During the consultation, a full medical history will be obtained, and a clinical examination of the area of concern will take place. Before & after photos of previous patients are also helpful tools to demonstrate what can be achieved. The surgeon needs experience and judgment, and the ability to have the emotional intelligence required to fully understand the needs and expectations of the patient, and to make sure that there is no mismatch with what is possible.

At The Westbourne Centre, the consultant reconstructive, craniofacial, and cosmetic surgeon, Hiroshi Nishikawa, strives to achieve the most natural-looking results, and offers advanced surgical solutions using the best and most reliable products.

Our Knee replacement Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Knee replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Knee Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint by inserting a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions.

Pros: Offers quicker recovery times than open surgery, with fewer complications. Studies show up to 80% success in treating meniscal tears.
Cons: Limited to minor repairs and may not address severe arthritis. There's a 10-20% chance of needing further surgery.
Effectiveness: Effective in 70-90% of cases for relieving pain and improving function.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-6 weeks
Best for: Meniscal tears, loose fragments, and mild to moderate cartilage damage.

Knee MAKOplasty

Knee MAKOplasty is a minimally invasive knee surgery using robotic assistance to ensure precise implant placement.

Pros: Provides more precision than traditional knee surgery, with a 90% success rate in pain reduction. Minimally invasive, leading to smaller incisions and less scarring.
Cons: Requires specialized equipment and training, which may not be available in all facilities. Longer learning curve for surgeons compared to traditional methods.
Effectiveness: 98% accuracy in implant positioning, enhancing joint function and longevity.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Patients with osteoarthritis affecting one or two knee compartments. Suitable for individuals seeking faster recovery.

Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement

This procedure involves replacing only one compartment of the knee joint, preserving more of the patient's natural bone and ligaments.

Pros: Retains more natural knee function with 85% of patients reporting a more natural feel compared to total knee replacement. Smaller incision results in quicker recovery.
Cons: Not suitable for patients with severe arthritis affecting multiple compartments. Revision rate is higher, with about 10% needing further surgery within 10 years.
Effectiveness: 10-year survival rate is approximately 85%.
Duration: 1-2 hours.
Recovery: 3-6 months.
Best for: Patients with arthritis confined to a single knee compartment. Ideal for those under 60 years old.
