Arm Lift Midlothian, UK

Removal of growth on forehead. Given the length of probable wait in the NHS, chose to go private. Got an initial appointment within a week, and procedure done 2 days later. Clinic was very impressive and welcoming, as was the doctor. The procedure was done quickly and competently

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.
