Mr Harris is featured in Channel Five’s “The Woman Who Lost 30 Stone”
This documentary tracked the incredible story of Connie, an American patient who lost over 30 stone in weight after gastric bypass surgery. Following several operations in California to remove excess skin from her body, she travelled to London to consult with Mr Harris, requesting breast augmentation and brachioplasty (arm lift surgery). Having not completely recovered from her previous operations, Mr Harris explained to Connie that it would be unsafe to undergo further surgery in London.
“First and foremost I am a doctor and I have a duty of care to do no harm” said Mr Harris. ”Patients are understandably disappointed when their surgeon is not prepared to undertake operations which they believe will be beneficial, but there is much more at stake with major cosmetic surgery than television ratings“.
