Having surgery abroad can be a daunting experience for many reasons. An obvious one is, how well will I be able to make myself
understand and get the result that I want... Thankfully Ivan and Peter, the patients coordinators spoke english fluently having lived in
the UK.
You are taken care of from the moment you land, literally. The accommodation is basic but spacious and spotless. The
bathrooms, again are large, clean, very well equipped with high spec decoration. It has fluffy quality towels, shower gel and
tissues.
My friend and I venture to the city centre, which is a stone through from the apartment complex, before and after my
surgeries. I was amazed by people's reaction to my face post surgery walking around the city. I never felt uncomfortable. Looking like I
did obviously I did attract looks but none were lingering or intimidating more like a quick glance as you would.
My surgery was
perform a day later than planed which meant that I went home a day later. Thankfully that was not a problem for me. However when booking
your airplane ticket I would advise you to pay a little more for the extras in case you have to change your flight.It won't cost you the
earth as the ticket itself is cheap.
Post surgery whilst staying the night at the clinic you will be fed. Do tell them if you have
food restrictions. I'm vegan and they weren't prepared for it... I got a mixed salad without any dressing... Not great especially after
fasting for 10 hours!
My surgeon was amazing. She seemed caring and had a great manner about her. Soft spoken and motherly.When going
to your consultation make sure everyone understands what you want from the surgery and ask questions. Think about it the night before
and even write them down. You might feel overwhelmed or nervous so having then down on paper will help. I didn't and everything went
out of my head once in her office.
You will notice that I rated 5 the Outcome of Treatment. It's to soon to actually comment on it as
I had my operation 8 June and today is the 27 Jun... However it looks VERY promising. One of my issue was asymmetrical nostrils, this is
already 100% better therefore a success. For the rest of the nose time will tell as the swelling will go down and the final shape of my
nose will take place in the next few months... I'm already ecstatic about the way my eyes look.
Another thing... I did not experience
any pain whatsoever. I was given a box of strong pain killers which I never used. But I didn't have breast enlargement so I can't speak
for that!
All the way through Gabriela, your first point of contact has been amazing and available whenever I needed a question
answered or anything else.
Everyone at work was excited to see the results, Even hardcore anti plastic surgery clients were very
complimentary. But most of all I work in a part of London which has a high density of medical professions including plastic surgeons
that I would never be able to afford. Some are client and gave their approval on the work done on my face.
I hope my long winded
essay will help some of you!
Good luck!
