Tummy Tuck Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire

I decided at the age of 50 to have breast implants and was recommended Mr Awf Quaba who specialised in this field. My operation took place at the Murrayfield Spire and I was well looked after before and after my operation. Unfortunately, 4 years on I was getting breast implant illness symptoms, I was in a lot of discomfort in the breast area, had hair thinning, anxiety, ocular migraine headaches and development an autoimmune disease which had to be treated by Prednisolone. After reading about BII I decided in 2021 to see Mr Quaba once again to get his advice. I must say he was very understanding and told me the pros and cons of getting a full capsulectomy which removes the implants and capsules surrounding them. In October 2021 I was booked into the Shawfair Spire Hospital and Mr Quaba performed by full capsulectomy which was very successful. 6 months down the line I am feeling so much better with no breast pain, hair has got thicker and no ocular migraine headaches. I am also down to 2mg of steriods and my neck and shoulder pain has almost gone with my scars hardly visible. I can honestly say Mr Quaba has looked after me so well and I would highly recommend anyone who is considering explant surgery to seek advice from such a professional. These are not cheap procedures but all in all it was well worth the money to get my health back!

Professor Mackay-Hart provided me with an in-depth explanation of the potential risks and benefits of the abdominoplasty surgery I had enquired about. On admission, the staff were excellent and thorough as well as being very professional. Post-op night 1 was the first time (3 previous ops) I experienced care and pain relief in advance of needing it. I genuinely believe the care that first night was key in my recovery. Although major surgery I was up and self care the next day and home the day after. I took the advice given on pain management and really kept on top of it that first week and I was mobile and coping quite well. After week 1 it was plain sailing, keeping mobile. At week 4, my wound had a very small fat necrosis develop but quick action with antibiotics and follow up with the outpatient clinic has got me through that minor hurdle. I watched and read so many negative articles about this surgery and how much of a struggle it can be post-op. For me, the key to really getting through it so easily was listening to the clear advice, excellent pain management in the early days and having the procedure carried out by an excellent surgeon. Nothing ever goes 100% to plan but following advice and really being positive about the outcome I think was key in me writing this positive review and saying to anyone considering this type of surgery to ignore the online stuff and just go with a good quality surgeon and facility.
