Clinic Defends Care After Patient Treated for Sepsis Following Glasgow Breast Surgery

She reports lasting physical and mental effects and says no other providers will attempt corrective surgery.

Overview

  • Lisa Hart, 45, paid about £15,500 for a breast reduction and reconstruction at a private Glasgow clinic on May 7, 2025, and says she was discharged an hour after the four-hour procedure.
  • Within a week she noticed green-yellow fluid and a hole in her right breast and says repeated alerts to the clinic were brushed off or went unanswered.
  • On June 9, 2025, Ayr University Hospital clinicians swabbed the wound, diagnosed sepsis and removed her right implant, and she remained in hospital for 10 days.
  • She says she has been left with uneven breasts, is being treated for angina, and is experiencing anxiety and loss of confidence.
  • The clinic issued a statement saying it is committed to safe, high-quality care, handles concerns through clinical governance and complaints processes, and advises patients to seek prompt medical attention for unexpected symptoms.
