Patient stories
"Already love my results"
After years of being unhappy with my breasts after breastfeeding, I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and waited until I found the right surgeon. From my first consultation, Professor Hindocha made me feel completely at ease and I knew I could trust him. I'm only a week post-op and already love my results. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and truly believe I found the best surgeon.

"I knew I was in good hands"
I would give this place more then a 5 star My surgeon, Mr Sandip Hindocha, was absolutely amazing throughout my surgery. He kept checking on me and asking if I was okay, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured throughout the whole procedure. He was honestly perfect and made me feel so relaxed. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in good hands.
The nurses and the whole team were incredible too. Janice was so caring and sweet. She kept me busy with conversation to take my mind off the procedure, and I genuinely appreciated how kind and supportive she was.
A huge thank you to Marque for keeping me calm and relaxed, and also to Patrina, Dean and all the other staff who looked after me so well.
Honestly, the whole team was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to everyone who made me feel comfortable, safe and cared for throughout my surgery.

"I cannot believe the results"
I cried when I stood in front of the mirror after the operation (tummy tuck and arms). I cannot believe the results and I could not be more grateful. His team and care have been fantastic.

Your New Shape
What to Expect During Your Procedure
We ensure that every stage of your treatment is calm, professional, and entirely focused on your well-being. Your surgery starts with a detailed marking process to map out the precise areas for refinement and skin tightening.
Under the care of our expert anaesthetic team, you will remain comfortable while our specialists perform the necessary contouring to restore your body’s natural proportions.
Following the procedure, you will wake up in a dedicated recovery suite where our clinical staff will monitor your progress and fit you with supportive garments to ensure a smooth transition into your aftercare.
Managing Your Recovery
Is there any downtime?
Yes, as body contouring involves significant surgical refinement, a dedicated recovery period is essential for safe and optimal healing. Most patients require two to three weeks away from professional duties, depending on the extent of the procedure and the nature of their work.
- Expect some swelling and bruising, which is a natural part of the inflammatory response.
- Light walking is encouraged early on, but strenuous exercise must be avoided for six weeks.
- Specialist garments must be worn consistently to stabilise your new contours and reduce swelling.
- While initial changes are visible immediately, your final refined silhouette matures over several months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any downtime after surgery?
Yes, most patients require two to three weeks off work to ensure safe healing. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for approximately six weeks to protect your new silhouette.
Will I have visible scarring?
We use meticulous, layered closure techniques to ensure incisions are as discreet as possible. Most scars are strategically placed within natural skin folds or bikini lines to remain hidden under clothing.
Where is the Lux clinic located in Bedford?
Our specialist clinic is conveniently situated for patients across Kempston and Biddenham. We are located in Bedford Hospital, providing a discreet environment for your consultations and follow-up care.
Can I combine multiple contouring procedures?
Many patients choose to combine treatments—such as a tummy tuck with liposuction—for a more harmonious result. We will assess your health and goals during your consultation to determine if a combined approach is safe.
How long do the results of body contouring last?
Skin and tissue that are removed do not grow back, so the change to your contour is intended to last. It cannot be guaranteed: weight change, pregnancy and ageing all affect the result, and the skin left behind keeps losing elasticity.
