Mill House Clinic, Alvechurch. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out!
"Several of my patients have used Ophelia's services and I have been extremely impressed with by the outcomes she has managed to achieve. Her technical skills are very obviously of the highest standards. Due to her own personal experience of breast surgery and a warm, care and empathetic character, it is clear that patients have received much more than a cosmetic improvement. All of them have commented on the through interaction with Ophelia and I have had no hesitation recommending her."
