in Breasts on Sep 18, 2011
Hi there
Just HAD to write a blog on this topic...most people think breast implants, when referring to Cosmetic Surgery for Breasts. I am 51 years old and struggled with my enormous breasts for years. I am of average build (Size 14) but found that in the past few years my breasts were getting bigger and bigger and a lot more saggy etc. I went to see my GP soo many times who refused point blankly to consider a Breast Reduction on the NHS. This, after having soo much Physiotherapy for back, neck and 2 frozen shoulders as a direct result of my very large breasts (34J so NOT kidding here) After seeing my GP AGAIN in June 2011, and again being refused, I finally thought SOD IT, I'll go private and promptly went about researching reduction procedures, the following Saturday. I filled in a lot of online applications and submitted them, and was surprised to receive a phone call less than 20 mins later .
Off I went, on the following Monday morning and as luck would have it, the surgeon who would be doing the procedure was there so could see me there and then. Mr K was there with his tape measure etc. and, as I was nervous "getting them out to a stranger" my Co-ordinator Jane came in with me. Mr K was FANTASTIC. he made me feel better straight away and proceeded to measure me up etc. the procedure was booked for Sunday 7th August and, as I had a lot of breast to remove, was informed that the op would perhaps take about 4 hours. I arrived early and was shown to my room straight away by a lovely friendly lady who in fact informed me that she had had the same procedure 9 months previously by Mr K and promptly showed me her new boobs, bless her!!
This made me RELAX straight away. Next thing I knew it was time to go down to theatre..............I woke up later that day and the first thing I did was look down. MY GOD I have NORMAL sized BOOBS!!!
I must of rang everyone I ever meet to tell them the news. Staff were SUPERB they genuinely were, BIG thanks to Elaine, who came in to see/check me regularly ALL NIGHT, Karl who regularly bought me Cups of Tea, Diane the Ward sister who was always ready with a friendly smile etc.etc. As for Mr K ?? FABULOUS MAN who knows his stuff and has NEVER not had time for me. Aftercare, has been 2nd to none and to say I am delighted with the results ...well I'm chuffed to bits. I can't finish this without also saying a MASSIVE THANKYOU to Isobelle...the Clinic Nurse . She is a smasher of a woman, who has seen me regularly since the operation to change my dressings etc. LOVELY WOMAN who always greets me with a smile, is always available to talk, when I have had questions etc.etc. and has been my ROCK from beginning to end. THANK YOU................BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!!!!
