VASER® Lipo Dublin, Dublin County

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 recently attended Excellence Clinic (To remove a large cyst from my back). The whole experience was fabulous. From the excellent administration by Marguerite, helping me with a swift appointment, to Dr. Roy explaining everything in detail prior to the procedure, and the meticulous way in which it was carried out. Totally outstanding. Thanks again.

I had breast augmentation done in May 2023 with Auralia. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I am so happy with my results. I was going back and forth about my decision for over a year as I was unsure if I needed a lift as I had gone to consultations with lots of other clinics some telling me I needed a lift and some telling me I didn’t. And one surgeon even turning me away saying that the look I wanted to achieve was not possible. I was very disheartened and confused by this which had me going back and forth on my decision. I then had my consultation with Auralia and I was put at ease and the surgeon explained to me that the implant alone would give me the lift that I needed. I got to try on different-sized implants during my consultation which I didn’t get in other consultations with other clinics. the recovery was very quick and I was back to work in 5 days with no issues. Best decision I made this year.

Surgeon amazing. Mr Cormac Joyce. I was 15 yrs waiting for repair of a poor procedure and where others tried, he managed to do an amazing repair procedure. I would follow him anywhere for any procedure. Google him before you book. I had facelift and breast repair. This surgeon is the only reason I went to Avoca. I had heard amazing things about him. I could take or leave the staff.
