Hand Surgery

I have a specialist interest in hand surgery and routinely treat common hand conditions, congenital differences affecting children's hands, and hand injuries. I am particularly passionate about treating children with birth anomalies, and this constitutes most of my NHS practice.

Recovery

Good results following hand surgery often rely on the input of a skilled hand therapist to help with physical rehabilitation. Patients who are determined to make a good recovery and who put the maximum effort into their therapy, usually get the best results from treatment.

I work with by all major Health Insurance Companies in the treatment of conditions affecting the hands.

An amazing experience with Mr Winterton and his team. I went to see him regarding some moles I was concerned about. Having previously seen some other consultants, Rob made me feel at ease from the initial consultation all the way up to the follow up. You can tell he has a passion for his work and explains everything in detail so much so any questions you might of had you don’t need to ask as he has already covered them. The whole process was easy and ran smoothly. Having had the concerned moles removed, they are healing amazing and my scars are SO neat. I will definitely be recommending Mr Winterton. Thank you all so much – Amazing work from everyone!

I went for my first consultation with Rob not really knowing if I was going to go ahead with any surgery. I’ve had a rather large saggy pair of breasts most of my life and had hated them for as long as I can remember. I’d been joining Cosmetic surgery sites on fb and various other places and Rob Winterton was the name that came up alot so I googled him and on a whim emailed. Within that day I had an appointment for a consultation and it wasn’t months away it was soon! The consultation went great, I felt really happy with what he was saying and how he explained things and from a minute in I knew I was going ahead. I had another consultation to go over things and make sure I was happy and I luckily got a cancellation and had my operation very quickly. The whole experience was great. The hospital was lovely, the care was great and I now have great new body. I’m not sure I would of ever gone ahead if i hadn’t had Rob as my surgeon, he was reassuring and made everything stress free and easy. I recommend him to everyone now and if I ever need anything else doing there’s only one surgeon for me.

I was very pleased that I chose Mr Winterton for my procedure. I had a problem with banana rolls. Mr Winterton listened to my concerns and after research and discussion found the best option to address this issue. Mr Winterton is kind and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to family or friends.

Mr Winterton was great – he was very reassuring without being patronising and listened carefully to my hoped-for outcomes, whilst also trying to communicate what was possible. I am really happy with my breast reduction results. I also appreciate that he suggests very few post-care products – if you watch YouTube or do research, you think you have to buy all sorts of products for scars, but ultimately my body has done most of the work by itself.

I couldn’t be happier with my surgery and surgeon. I had the most wonderful treatment with Mr Winterton. He fully listened to all my concerns and took everything on board. Advised me perfectly and I had the most wonderful aftercare also. I’m 40 and feel like I have my body back. Couldnt recommend Mr Winterton enough

It all started with a spot on my nose that kept bleeding when I was on holiday in Lanzarote in July 2022. I went to Dr Fitzgerald (Consultant Dermatologist) at the Highfield; he detected BCC on my nose & eyebrow & a tiny black spot on the back of my right arm. Black spot was malignant skin cancer !!! Fortunately Dr Fitzgerald is ACE too & got me a same day appointment with Rob Winterton. Rob has got rid of the Skin Cancer on my arm — 6″ inch scar – but hey ho. BCC on my nose is fine — just had a few more pests removed from eyebrow on 6 January. Rob is absolutely wonderful — as are his team in Surgery at the Alexandra & his 1st Class Practice Manager Vicki and his Nurse Alison. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

So it’s been 2 years since Mr Winterton performed my tummy tuck And to say I am delighted with the results would be an understatement. So why have I waited 2 years to write a review? Purely to give a completely rounded review. I am still as amazed today by what he has managed to achieve as I was 2 years ago. The transformation can only be described as epic. The positive impact it has had on me has truly surprised me it has given me confidence I never thought was possible. I would give Mr Winterton 11 out of 10 not only for the results he produces, but for managing my expectations. On my 1st consultation he advised that I needed to lose some more weight to bring down my BMI which I did. I held up my end of the deal and he more than fulfilled his. Both the before and aftercare I received was world class the team that work with Mr Winterton are as dedicated as he is and I would recommend them without hesitation. All that remains for me to do is to thank Mr Winterton and the team for changing my life I am truly the happiest I have been in years

Safe, Relaxed and Perfect Treatment from Start to Finish!

From start to finish my experience with Rob and Vikki his secretary has been nothing short of perfect.
From booking my consultation to feeling completely relaxed and having full confidence in Rob to my fabulous scar and results, I couldn’t be happier.
This was one of the best decisions I ever made and I couldn’t have picked a better surgeon to put all my trust in. After care has been brilliant and I’ve even cancelled my last app as I don’t need anymore care.
Super happy and grateful A*

My daughter was turned down for NHS ear pinning surgery. It has effected her confidence and she was subject to bullying because of it. I contacted Mr Winterton and in the first consultation with her he was outstanding. Most importantly he talked to my daughter all the way through, asking her what she wanted, why she wanted it, what she expected for the outcome and he managed that expectation in a very caring and sympathy manner. He shared coping techniques for any other children asking about the surgery. Every interaction with Mr Winterton and his team was an absolute pleasure and my daughter felt completely at ease. The surgery result was better than we could have hoped for. My daughters smile as she ties her hair up is priceless. And she has grown in confidence. Thank you to Mr Rob Winterton and his fab team (Alison/Vicki/Julie/the team at the Alexandra hospital- and a special mention to Phil on the paediatrics ward who was brilliant with his wit and bedside manner).

Mr Winterton was the third surgeon I consulted before my tummy tuck. I knew he was the right fit for me after his thorough examination, setting realistic expectations, in-depth information of what I could expect post op. His entire team were caring and true professionals. My surgery went smoothly and my results exceeded my expectations. The aftercare has been exceptional. Any query I had was answered immediately and I felt valued from start to finish.

I am a 68 year old lady and would have never considered plastic eye surgery (eye lid lift) but my optician recommended that I need it doing, as it was affecting my vision be cause of my drooping eye lids. I was on the NHS waiting list for it to be done but nearly 2 years of waiting, I decided to go private. The care and understanding I have received from Robert and his team has been excellent. The care during the procedure was outstanding and the aftercare again outstanding. I would highly recommend Robert for any procedure. Thank you Robert, Vicki and your outstanding team.

Having seen numerous consultants for a breast reduction previously and having no luck or not feeling I had found ‘the right fit’, Mr Winterton came highly recommended to me. After my first consultation I knew I had found the ‘right fit’ for me. I felt completely comfortable & he listened to all of my wants, needs & worries. We had a great honest discussion about the whole experience start to finish and what techniques he would use, recovery time and what to expect going forward, how it worked & the process as a whole including realistic expectations post op. The aftercare I received from Mr Winterton and his whole team was second to none! Mr Winterton was caring and compassionate throughout it all & always made time to answer any questions or queries both pre and post op. I am now 8 weeks post op and although realistic expectations were discussed at prior appointments, I can honestly say that the results I got completely surpassed all of my expectations! I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Genuinely changed my quality of life and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I was recommended to Rob Winterton by a friend who had surgery in 2022. From my first consultation I felt I had complete trust in him to do my upper eyelid blepharoplasty. I had no nervousness on the day of my op and it was a very easy (on my part) procedure. The first few days after my op I had a fair bit of bruising but no discomfort or pain at all and the downtime was minimal, sutures were out within 5 days and I was back to work in 10 days albeit taking it easy. I had ice packs in the freezer to use on my eyes to reduce swelling and kept easy to prep meals in my fridge to make life easier whilst resting. Can honestly say it was a good experience from start to finish and the impact Rob’s surgery has made on me is amazing, forever grateful to him and his team for making it such a pleasurable experience.

From start to finish Rob has been amazing, very honest about what could be achieved (although I am astounded by my results.) After a 10 stone weight loss I had lots of loose skin. Rob recommended an FdL, also needed a hernia repair as well as brachioplasty. I cannot be happier with my results – thank you to Rob and his whole team you truly have changed my life, something I will be forever grateful for – I cannot recommend Rob highly enough.

From first consultation with Rob I was made to feel at ease. He is extremely personable and I was comfortably able to ask lots of questions. I had an FdL abdominoplasty and branchioplasty after excess loose skin following a 10 stone weight loss. Rob was very honest and clear about the outcomes and managed my expectations. The aftercare is superb, and Rob was extremely responsive to any concerns I had pre and post surgery. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and cannot recommend Rob and his team highly enough. – thank you!
