Adel Quttainah, FRCS(C) Plast

I don’t usually write reviews, but Dr. Adel Quttainah truly deserves it.
From the very first moment, he made me feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. He’s not just a brilliant plastic surgeon — he’s someone who listens, who reassures, and who treats you like more than just a case.

What touched me most was how calm and kind he was throughout the entire journey. You feel like you're in the hands of someone who really loves what he does — and it shows in every detail.

The team at Quttainah Specialized Hospital is just as warm and professional. They made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

If you’re thinking of taking this step, I can honestly say: you’re in the best hands with Dr. Adel.

Had breast surgery with dr Adel and I was really happy with the recovery and results he was very kind and professional not like other doctors in Kuwait the surgery took only 2 hours and I stayed for maybe 3 hours after . Only complaint is office very busy and receptionist slow too many people waiting ..

I would highly recommned this doctor Dr Quttainah, he was very professional and I was pretty nervous but he answered everything and seemed really honest. I was sent by a friend who also did surgery and i wanted to do my nose for a long time. I thought about the surgery for a long time and was happy with price too.

I wanted to write about my post op experience because I was mostly worried about recovery.

Day of the surgery went smoothly, I was tired and sleepy but managed to walk around and ate half a sandwich, but eventually threw up the frozen yoghurt as it was too much. Stick to something light and non-fat.

I did breast augmentation and breast lift with Dr. Adel. The first surgery resulted in ugly scars around the areolar area and under my breast. He agreed to do another scar revision surgery under local anesthesia which went worse than the first surgeries and my wounds opened up. He did the third surgery and up until now 3 years ago a part of the scar hasn't healed. I went through a lot of emotional, physical, and mental pain and at the end he told me he does not want to deal with it anymore.

Hello lovely ladies. I am 40 years old and have 4 children - all born within 3 years (one twin birth in there somewhere). Needless to say my poor tummy never had a chance at getting back to anything remotely resembling what it should be and now, 15 years later, I have finally plucked up the courage to sort my bits out.

I have had my consultation with my PS (who is a very quiet man) but has an excellent reputation and is one of the top surgeons where I live. I have had blood tests done (will list those later for those of you who are interested in that stuff) and also met with my anesthesiologist today. He has requested that I have an ECG done which I shall go and do tomorrow night - he then wants to see me again on Saturday.

I take medication for high blood pressure and also a medication for anxiety and depression. My anxiety shoots my blood pressure up (as happened this morning when I went to visit my anesthesiologist - it was a bit too close to the OR for my liking with way too much stainless steel :s) - so hope he gives me something to calm me down before he knocks me out.

Anyway, enough waffling. I shall be using this review to let of steam as I only have 8 (OMG) days left to go before I emerge skinny. Will also try and upload some pictures of my sagging parts as everyone else has been so brave to upload theirs.

Look at those awful pics. Hopefully on Wednesday afternoon I shall wake up flat and gorgeous.

2 days to go. Have been stuffing my face over the past two days which is strange for me as usually when I'm stressed I can't eat at all. I'm sure I'm putting on weight but tell myself my surgeon can suck it all out when he does my lipo. Not really the best attitude to take but I can't be dealing with more stress at the moment.

I'm lurching between being extremely excited to have a flat tummy again and anxious about being knocked out and the level of pain afterwards. Am trying to keep busy as this usually helps with my anxiety - being distracted gives you less time to dwell on things.

On top of my TT and BL I am also having a posterior repair on my hoo-ha-ha. This is with a different surgeon so have spent the morning trying to find out who is doing what at which time. It turns out that my gynaecologist will be kicking off at 8:00 am. Her surgery will take about an hour and a half and my PS will take over at half time. His op should take however long it takes.

I have to admit myself to hospital tomorrow night which is a bit of a shocker as I was expecting to go the hospital on the morning of the 1st October and have surgery in the afternoon. However, this is obviously not to be. My husband will be taking me there tomorrow night and I shall eat and drink myself stupid in the car on the way there.

I said in an earlier post that I would tell you what blood tests I needed in case anyone is interested (?). I had theses done: Electrolytes (good name for a band), Crea Creatinine, Bun Blood Urea Nitro, Complete Blood Count, Prothrombin Time and Partial Thromboplast. I don't know what most of them are either but all the results were normal.

Will try and upload some more pics tomorrow night as I hear that the hospital I am going to has really nice rooms.

.......I think as I haven't seen anything yet. One night in hospital and one unit of blood transfused as my haemoglobin was low. Lots and lots of pain - couldn't understand why my back hurt so much and why I couldn't lie down. I didn't think 'flanks' included the back but whilst your lipo machine is out, Hoover up as much as you can. What I can tell is that I have a VERY sculpted waist and big bruises. Will see more tomorrow when I go for my check up.

First check up today. My PS took off my dressings and discovered that I am allergic to the plasters. I have blistered underneath the plasters and some of the blisters have burst making the wound all gooey. I have had everything cleaned, creamed and covered back up. Boobs are doing fine. Tummy a bit swollen today and back and top of bum still tear-jerkingly painful. More importantly drains are OUT - happy days. My bruises are shocking - hope to post some photos when I can get them. PS told me I had just under 1000 cc liposuctioned from each side. Lovely bedside manner, did all the cleaning and changing dressings himself and didn't just rely on a nurse to do it. Asked me to come back to see him on Tuesday. Can get up and down by myself. Painkillers as needed - the ones the hospital gave me do sod all (tramadol) so am using my own OTC ones which work great. Will update more when I can get to a laptop - hate typing on this stupidly small phone keyboard. V :-)

Had myself a pity party this morning and had a good old snotty cry due to the fact that I am always in pain. Feeling better now. Changed my torture corset myself today and even put some mascara on. That beauty product is way undervalued as a pick-me-up. Still in pain all over my back, especially lower. Right pain across abdomen and occasional stabbing pains at my lipo sites. Blisters causing me no end of curse words - the keep weeping and when I peaked under a dressing today to find out why I managed to rip off a chunk of skin. I shouted words that I can't spell. Will leave those for my PS to sort out when I see him Tuesday. Apart from that, same old same old. Took Panadol Night last night as I needed sleeeeeeeeeep and that worked well. Bit bored of sitting around. Ho hum.

Pain, swelling, tingling, burning, hard. Fine in the morning but by mid afternoon a freight train of swelling comes crashing into my house and lands on me. Can't sit, can't stand, painkillers as useful as fairy cakes. Don't know what to do with myself at the moment.
