Breast Implants Antrim County

I had a consultation here about treatment for my condition, it was very thorough and utmost professionalism. From the front staff to the surgeon it is the most reassuring level of professionalism. I do need to return but that is included in the fee no matter how many times you need to talk to the surgeon or additional treatment, most highly recommended.

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.

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.
