Breast Reconstruction Scotland

I had a bilateral breast reduction at Stirling BMI hospital with Dr Khan. I live on a remote island, and had to travel for surgery, so needed to have confidence that post-op arrangements would all be in hand. From the initial consultation, she had a can-do and reassuring attitude that put me completely at ease. Having hated my breasts for my entire adult life, I was pretty nervous about showing them to anyone, let alone having them examined, marked up and operated on. Exactly the right mix of professionalism and empathy worked a treat though. The surgery went smoothly, and the results have been exactly what I was hoping for. The breasts I have now feel like what I should have had all along, rather than feeling weirdly small or still too large. When I had a skin reaction a few weeks after my op, Dr Khan was easily contactable and was very happy to liaise with my GP to arrange appropriate treatment. I'm a fairly terrible patient as I am rarely ill, but she didn't lose patience with me when I was panicking about feeling a bit rubbish! I work as a mountaineering instructor, and by 6 weeks post op I was able to go back to relatively normal (for me!) levels of activity- rock climbing, running, winter mountaineering, etc. I can see my feet when climbing, and make moves I couldn't previously and I've discovered that a comfortable but supportive running bra isn't an unattainable dream! I can buy technical climbing clothing that fits as it should so actually keeps me warm in winter, and wear an avalanche transceiver as they are intended to be, to keep me safer when I'm out in the snow. I can breathe better, and my neck pain disappeared overnight. Hospital staff were lovely throughout my overnight stay too- efficient and friendly, just what was wanted in an unfamiliar environment. This has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I have made about my health, and I really can't recommend Dr Khan enough.
