Our beautiful Monday post-op queen, Robyn, truly is the brightest ray of sunshine in the clinic. From the second she walks in, she brings the biggest, most genuine smile and the calmest, happiest energy that instantly puts everyone at ease — patients and staff alike 💛

Her warm, bubbly nature and gentle, professional care make such a difference to every recovery journey. Patients absolutely adore her (and honestly, so do we). She’s become such a special part of the daily flow with Dr Widdowson, Dr Sheena and the whole Lotus team — we couldn’t imagine Mondays without her!

Robyn, we are so lucky to have you. Thank you for the kindness, positivity and light you bring into our clinic every single week.

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and a year as beautiful as your smile 🎉🌸✨

Today is World Cancer Day, a day that means so much to our team at The Lotus Institute 🤍

Every day, we have the privilege of caring for patients whose lives have been touched by cancer. From breast reconstruction to other restorative procedures, our surgeons are deeply passionate about supporting individuals through the next chapter of their journey — one that focuses on healing, confidence, and moving forward.

Reconstruction is never just about surgery. It’s about restoring comfort, identity, and a sense of wholeness after an incredibly challenging time. We are constantly inspired by the strength, resilience, and courage of the people we meet.

Today, we stand with those currently undergoing treatment, survivors, families, and those we remember. 🤍

STOP SCROLLING — it’s the G.O.A.T’s birthday 🎉

Today we celebrate the heart and soul of The Lotus Institute… Dr Widdowson 💙
Our fearless leader, coffee enthusiast, professional morale-booster, and now… proud model of birthday Crocs & socks (inspired by the one and only .plasticsurgeon 😂👏).

But jokes aside — we truly couldn’t ask for a kinder, more genuine or generous human to lead our team. The way he cares for his patients, supports his staff, and shows up every single day with positivity (and probably caffeine) is something special. He’s changed so many lives, and we feel so lucky to work alongside someone who leads with both skill and heart.

Your humour keeps us laughing, your energy keeps us going, and your example inspires us all.

Happy Birthday, Dr Widdowson — we adore you and hope your day is as legendary as you are 🎂☕💫
