I would say Karidis.  When I had a consultation he said it was v unusual for revisions to be necessary
 

No revisions needed with him?  Is this true??  Have you had treatment with Karids?  Where is he situated?

Karidis is in London (St Johns Wood) - http://www.nipntuck.co.uk/

I personally have not heard/read of any complaints of his work, unlike someone else we won't mention.

There's a few posts on the home page about recent work/consulations he's done, but you're probably looking at another £4,000.

If I was to choose a surgeon again I would absolutely 100% choose Dr Benito - Harley Street consultation then Op in Barcelona - £2500 approx.

Before entertaining surgery (which I had in Poland Oct 06) I read these forums inside out, I mean literally EVERY post and then read them again from the beginning. 

The main name bandied around was Levick (Birmingham) , although he was the most expensive.  What was apparent from my research was that despite some great results he was seriously inconsistant. I mean there are numerous examples of people complaining about 2/3 revisions a few years ago, too much fat being taken out, skin sticking to muscle etc. For me that was reason enough to stop looking there. 

Then there is Karadis (London) who is a minor TV celebrity and does a lot of work with the rich and famous.  There wasn't as much info on his work, but to be fair it was all positive, some very satisfied patients.

Then there was Mark's mammoth thread on Baranski (Poland) which offered a (vastly) cheaper alternative to rip off Britain prices.  A mass flood of folk went in there to see him (including myself).  No-one has to my knowledge accused him of any butchery. His work is neat and tidy but perhaps a little on the cautious side.  This was a not so bad for me as you could always go back for a little extra - however the realty if you are not 100% pleased after the event is a different story.

Now there appears to be Benito (London then op in Barcelona). He, imo, has demonstrated some exceptional work and above all seams to get it damn near right every time. His prices are not as kean as Eastern Europe but still 50-60% of those over here.

To me is a no brainer. If you're worried about going abroad see Karadis. If you eant the saving see Benito.  I don't dispute Levick has done some good work, but I for one wouldnt want to take the chance of him perhaps getting it right on a good day.

My advise to the original poster is draw a line under you experience and move on to someone who doesn't keep disappointing you. You wouldn't keep taking your car to a garage who consistantantly let you down - why the hell would you take a chance with your body?!?  I realise not every one has money to just take their business elsewhere, but if you want the correction badly enough, some kind of loan and a consultation with a better surgeon may be a sound mental investment.
Thanks for your kind advise. I am looking to get in touch with one of these two you mention. Karadis or Benito. They both have had real good feed back.
Do you please have their contacts?

Karidis as above post.

Benito here in Outertrial's inspiration thread (well worth a read and some great pics) - http://www.gynecomastia.org/smf/index.php?topic=9199.0

Happy reading!

You are so kind. Thanks for your help. I will get in touch with one of them.   I don't like to complain but I guess I have been real upset about my experience and you guys are the only ones that can understand. All the best!!
