Chemical Peel Donnybrook

As a teenager I grew up in a decade when diet was not a priority, rather a need by my parents to feed a family without fully understanding the simple link between calorie intake combined with processed foods, as a result I gained weight rapidly. I decided at fifteen years of age to loose weight by a combination of calorie counting and exercise however as I am sure some of you know that once you activate the fat cells in your body that is exactly what they do they stay activated, they will shrink with dropping your calorie intake combined with exercise however the fat cells will only shrink to a level regardless how much calorie counting or exercise you do. For the last twelve years I have been gym training with weights including cardio training without having any success in shifting or reducing a belt of fat around my flanks and stomach. I decided three months ago that whatever it took I was going to do whatever I needed to do to remedy the situation. I had been advised that the key to a successful outcome to my issue was research in terms of ensuring that the correct procedure and more importantly the correct surgeon was consulted to advise what procedure was correct for me to ensure maximum result. Now, this is where it becomes interesting and indeed a little concerning regarding not taking the time to spend the money on consulting with more than one surgeon. The first clinic consultation I had with a surgeon was to ascertain if I was a candidate for a tummy tuck ( major surgery) with a long recovery time. I was told by the surgeon that I was indeed a perfect candidate for one however my wife said she was not happy with this advice and we decided to seek a second opinion from another surgeon with an excellent reputation concerning tummy tucks. He said, absolutely not, I did not have enough fat around my flanks or stomach to ensure a successful outcome. I was totally disappointed and feeling frustrated that two surgeons would have two totally opposite views. Back to the drawing board, my wife’s friend who had similar issues was watching my journey unfolding when she suggested Donnybrook Clinic and Dr. Sami Hameid and his P.A., Victoria. She kindly contacted Donnybrook Clinic on my behalf and an appointment was made to meet Dr. Hameid the following day. From the outset of meeting with Dr . Hameid and Victoria I found both of them to be professional, caring and interested in the welfare of me as a patient while ensuring that the correct procedure was discussed in detail and a plan agreed to ensure maximum outcome for me. Dr. Hameid suggested liposuction around my flanks and my stomach combined with the use of an instrument called Morpheus 8 which tightens the skin by stimulating new collagen. I am now one month post-procedure and am delighted with the result, quite simply as far as I am concerned this is down to Dr. Hameid’s skill and experience built up over many years combined with a great team backing him up. I am as a person all about attention to detail, I spot the slightest imperfection in anything that I am involved in. So far I am happy, Dr. Hameid stated to me that medicine is not an exact science and that when I come to my three-month examination that if he need to do a small amount more to improve the outcome he would do so. I, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Hameid and Donnybrook Clinic to anybody who is thinking or contemplating any of the procedures that Donnybrook Clinic offer. My rating, five stars.

I have been attending Cosmetic Doctor for a number of years. Dr Lisa always gave me best advice and I was very delighted each time. Lisa and her team are most helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Dr Lisa for all skin treatments.

I could not recommend Patrick and his staff highly enough, I attended the clinic in Dec 2021. Patrick identified a seriously concerning mole, and surgically removed it immediately. It was biopsied at SVUH, where stage 1B malignant melanoma was confirmed. Patrick followed up tirelessly with St Vincents to ensure that the necessary surgery and treatment took place as quickly as possible, it was the period of covid. SVUH Dermatology Dept were amazing. the additional surgery and testing confirmed that all of the cancer had been removed with no spread. Patrick's prompt intervention saved my life. lovexxx

I cannot say enough about Dr. Sam. After years of discomfort and embarrassment due to phimosis, I finally decided to get it resolved via circumcision. Like most men, the idea of having that type of surgery was worrying, to say the least, but I could not have chosen a better clinic to go to. From the initial consultation, Dr. Sam gave me incredible advice, outlining the various options and outcomes, and provided all of the important information that I needed to make my decision. He made every step completely straightforward and was on hand for any and all questions that I had before and after the procedure. Naturally, on the day of the surgery, I was quite nervous, but I had no reason to be. The procedure was 100% pain-free, and I was sitting up having coffee before I knew it! (Great coffee by the way!). I'm 2 weeks post-op, and the recovery has been a breeze. I have already recommended Dr. Sam to a few other people who are looking to have the same procedure done, and will continue to recommend him due to the amazing results and professionalism of all the staff. You've given me back my confidence, Dr. Sam, and I cannot thank you enough!
