I had breast augmentation with fat transfer with Dr. Kaye Kai 3 weeks ago (December 2021), and I'm extremely happy with the results! The Ocean Clinic office staff & nurses were kind, friendly, easy to work with. The video consultation was easy to schedule, Dr. Kai answered all my questions. For the in person pre-op meeting I found the easiest way to make final decisions about sizing was to try on forms and check a mirror for the profile especially with clothing. I wish I'd thought to bring several tops but I made a decision I'm happy with. Surgery at HC: extremely professional and kind staff, Dr. Kai put me at ease prior to the procedure. Recovery: extremely easy and fast. Almost no pain, although some discomfort of course! I think the speed of healing speaks to Dr. Kai's skill. I had sensation throughout my breasts and nipples immediately, although the tightness of the skin made touch feel strange. At this point I do not have any tingling, numbness or other sensation issues. I started a road trip 2 weeks after surgery and have no problems driving, or walking 15 - 20 km a day. The most important part, the result! I'm very happy with the procedure, the implant positioning, size, and shape. The Motiva Ergonomix implants I received are already assuming a more natural shape as promised. Thank you Dr. Kai and the Ocean Clinic team!
I flew from Germany to Marbella, Spain to have breast augmentation with Dr Kai Kaye. This was to treat a severe size/shape asymmetry and increase size overall in both breasts. I received 420/500cc, over muscle, Motiva implants. 36 AA(left)/B(right) to 36D in both (I know cup sizes are vague. But there was at least a 100cc difference between them). I also received autologous fat transfer from my waist to fill out the breast shape, to reduce the necessary implant size, and to round out the implant edges. The equalising of the two breasts was accomplished partly by reducing the lower pole distance on the larger breast via removal of some tissue, and partly by lowering the location of the inframammary fold on the smaller breast so that it matched the larger one. Two different implant sizes were then used, with the smaller breast receiving a much larger implant. RESULTS I am now 6 weeks post-op and the results are, so far, absolutely fantastic. The fat transfer really makes the implants round and natural looking and the size/shape asymmetry has largely disappeared! The previously smaller breast is still dropping and stretching as it received a much larger implant in a much smaller space. It is therefore harder to tell what the eventual result will be. It is still somewhat square and situated higher than the right breast. But I am optimistic, and I know that even in previously symmetrical breasts that they change at different rates. I will give it six months. The right breast looks absolutely fantastic. The lower pole is completely round and has dropped over the inframmary incision. The upper pole is a perfectly flat 45 degree slope, and I can tell that it will curve slightly as more dropping occurs. Completely natural and great looking! The space between breasts was reduced from around 4cm to 1cm. As the welling has reduced this has become about 2cm. Overall they look amazing and equal in bras or t-shirt. Hopefully they will match up completely over the next few months. CLINIC The clinic in Marbella is small but extremely clean and professional. Everyone speaks English and Spanish. The doctors that I saw also spoke native German. Dr Kaye himself is very friendly and explains what he is going to do in full detail. In fact his remote Skype interview is what convinced me to go with him, as he discussed options and I felt that I was fully listened to. When revealing to him that I am a stealth long-time transitioned trans woman he was professional and took that into account. The clinic is however lacking when it comes to communication and providing information. The reception staff / patient co-ordinators are wonderfully friendly, but extremely disorganised. I received no information about what pre-operative cautions needed to be observed until 18 hours before surgery, when I did my per-operative consultation. It was only because I had researched this previously that I knew to avoid certain drugs for the weeks leading to the surgery. Otherwise my operation and health could have been severely compromised. Dr Kaye himself did not try sizers with me in his office. This may be because I had tried DIY rice sizers myself and came in stating what I wanted quite clearly. But I would have felt reassured if he or a nurse had actually double-checked this with me. It is hard to know if he agreed with me, or felt rushed and didn't want to take time to check sizes. The nurses are friendly (shoutout to the nurse from the North of England) but also not great with divulging information. I had to chase people to find out what was going on and what I had to do. I received no verbal overview of what was going to happen or what to expect. After surgery I recovered by booking a night in their accommodation, which came with a night nurse. The room itself was very austere, with no window, just a light well. But it was provided with a en-suite toilet and walk-in shower. There was a non-functioning hospital bed, locked in one position. The nurse call buttons DID NOT WORK. I was given a phone number to call instead (one of eventually 5 different ones that visit). Food was eventually provided from an external restaurant, but not until 9 in the evening, after 36 hours of fasting. The information problem came up again when I found out that there was a kitchen full of snacks and drinks near to my room that I not been told about. AFTERCARE I received lymphatic and breast massage from a massage assistant several days after surgery. However I received no information about how to do massage myself in the weeks after surgery. I had to chase doctors and staff for this information, which came down to a one line email saying "squeeze them once a week" which is not good enough. My largest criticism is that I was not given enough information or equipment to care for the liposuction that took place. I understand now that compression garments are a standard aftercare aid in liposuction recovery. No such garment was provided or recommended by Dr Kaye. I purchased one after I flew back home and it helped enormously. The pain from liposuction was INTENSE and severely hindered my mobility. On my first night I was unable to sit up without assistance due to pain and swelling. If I had been informed about this I would have planned for events differently (e.g. by asking my partner to stay with me in the accommodation). I have not yet sent my 4 or 6 week photos to Dr Kaye's office, which I need to do. But I have not heard anything from them inquiring about my status or health, or reminding me to send photos and a progress report to him. For all they know I dropped dead after leaving Spain. OVERVIEW Dr Kaye is an excellent surgeon, producing excellent results. But the clinic is unorganised and chaotic when it comes to patient liaison, and the surgeon himself does feel like he is winging it at times. If you are well informed and know what to do, this clinic and surgeon is an excellent choice. If you are unsure, nervous, or dependent on others this clinic would be less ideal.
After much research i chose Ocean Clinic in Marbella Spain for its state of the art facilities and because Dr Kaye comes highly recommended.I initially saw Him last June to discuss an arm lift . I told him I had a 'wish list' of what I would like done , and we decided to also do a tummy tuck at the same time . My surgery was March 1st 2017. I cannot fault Ocean Clinic for my first class care both pre and post op. Dr Kaye and his wonderful team have been so supportive in seeing me through this tremendous undertaking . He is a very talented plastic surgeon and his Clinic is superb. It's one thing to do research on your surgery, but going through it is another ball game altogether. I am still very early days post surgery, and so far everything has gone to plan . I fly home to UK on Monday after my last check up at the clinic , but will be in contact with the nurses here by phone and e mail .
Around 10 days before my period by nose tip expands with 2 big bumps becoming more obvious. I've tried to cover with makeup with no joy. It was a hard decision deciding on surgery but it was the best decision I made.My only regret is not getting the operation done sooner. I will upload more photos when the plaster comes off in 5 days time.
Terrible experience. I needed an operation to fix a deviated septum which was causing breathing problems. Also minor aesthetic changes. Despite using words like “subtle” “nothing drastic” and “my nose, not a different nose” to describe my desired outcome, instead I am left with a unrecognisable nose that is turned up and more asymmetrical than my original nose. Dr Kai O Kaye didn’t seem to be really listening to me but I unfortunately went forward with it anyway. Aftercare awful. Now faced with another surgery elsewhere.
I had a rhinoplasty in Ocean Clinic and it has ruined my confidence I only wanted small tweaks to an already normal nose now I have trouble breathing my tip droops and also debts in both sides. It is hideous I avoid pictures and mirrors now and I'm struggling to come up with money for revision! Absolutley devastated
Decided it was finally time. Waiting too long, researched too much .. I did my op with Dr. Kaye in Marbella. I got 250 round motiva implants. Worried at the wonky shape , they're just doing their thing, one dropping faster ( side with more laxity) and the other is still determined to stay round and high. Size of nipples is surprising pleasing and scaring seems to be healing fast , no bruising after the op , not much pain either. Took ibuprofen for the swelling not so much pain. As a side note , I did kind of feel out of sorts from the anesthesia for a couple of days. Like on some high but it was pleasant lol , felt very relaxed. Cooked dinner for my kids on the third day post op .
I have been using this app for a couple of months now but struggling to find other reviews with similar stats to me. I am having a BA in a few weeks in Spain. I had a consultation with MYA in Liverpool UK, the surgeon recommended between 200-300cc upper high profile. He asked what bra said I was currently which I replied 30DD, this isn’t big it’s because my back is so small. He then said really your a B or C then? I felt like he was being very patronising to me. I’m not a B or a C? He then went on an on telling me other information about surgery and felt like he was bored and I was instantly put off him. He then told me to go upstairs and girls will give me some sizers to try on. I was told to try the 300cc sizers in an they felt so big I didn’t like them at all! The girls who gave me the sizers to try didn’t see my boobs so how can they give me their opinion ? They kept asking if I can pay the £1000 deposit now and I just felt they didn’t care and was just after my money. They called me for days after the consultation asking for the deposit. I had a consultation in Marbella Spain who recommended 280cc Extra high profile round. When I tried the sizers in they also felt a bit big if I’m honest ? My biggest fear is waking up with massive boobs! I have good sized boobs now I am just wanting more upperpole fullness as now I have non. But I’m also worried if this implant be enough? I always read reviews of people wishing they went bigger! I decided to have my BA in spain as I have lived here a few years and I really liked the surgeon and felt he understood exactly what I wanted. They also wasn’t ringing me chasing for money!

They also wasn’t ringing me chasing for money Updated on 3 Apr 2018: I arrived at 8.45am and by 9.30ish I went down to theatre. Everyone was really nice and I wasn’t scared at all! I thought I’d feel really nervous and would even cry when going but I never. I know some of of friends cried on the way to the theatre. Beofre I know it was my eyes open again an it was all over! I can only remember saying to the nurse I liked the sun in spain before I was out. I got back to the recovery room at about 12.30 and was feeling fine. The room was really nice and I was in a dressing gown with hotel water bottles as I was freezing coming out of surgery. Updated on 3 Apr 2018: So before I went to theatre the doctor came in to draw on me. He recommend 280cc in one and 300cc UPH in the other as i had slight asymmetry. After the surgery I was told I had actually had 300cc and 330 as the others wasn’t right when it was tried. I trust my surgeon I felt in very good hands so trusted his decision. I till can’t really see them as they are banged up! Updated on 3 Apr 2018: The recovery room was really nice and clean, it had it’s own bathroom and tv and wifi. The bed was comfy and I was wrapped up in a dressing gown with a quilt an hot water bottles as I was freezing coming out of theatre. They brought me some water and asked me to drink and try to go for a wee. The nurses if I was hungry which I was starving! So gave me a menu and I ordered a pizza! Pain wise I was okay I thought it would be a lot worse. It felt like when you had a tight bra on and the underwire was too tight and digging right in. When I stood up I felt like was going to topple over due to the extra weight! I have been on a drip all day so that will be helping with the pain. I felt like the drip in my hand was hurting more actually ? The nurses kept checking I was okay and said I would be allowed to go at 7.30pm. I was picked up at 7.30 and my boyfriend helped me get dressed and we went home. I go back in tomorrow for bandages removed an bra to be put on
At day 10 post surgery ... This morning felt great , more energy , but by this evening can hardly keep my eyes open .... Arms are healing beautifully , stitches out and now applying cream before taping as I have read that helps the scar to heal flat. Still some pain from my TT and My back kills me if I try to do anything . have some sutures in middle section of scar which should come out on Monday. Due to fly back to U K next week will do another update then .
Its official! Im obsessed with this website! forget Facebook... hello to realselfbook! or better said fakebook!!!! haha I have spent hours reading through all your reviews and looking at your photos, and have to say it is very good to be able to share this experiecne with a whole world of people out there seeking answers just like myself! So look forward to meeting new boobyfriends, and anyone who is being operated round the same time as me. So, i am 25 yrs old, 5ft 4, weighing 125lbs... i have had 2 kids and breastfed them a bit, pre-pregnancy i was a 36C, however my upper boobs has disappeared and i'm probably now a 34B! I have been to various consultations and most of the doctors advised me to get 375cc HP, I'm looking to achieve a small D (just like the ones i had whilst lactation!) the volume of the implant should also help elevant my boobs a bit as i have mild ptosis from the lack of volume in the breast. So my surgery date has been confirmed for 18th September and I have already paid my deposit, this should be a perfect time for surgery as it the end of summer and the kids will be back in school (for the morning atleast) ... so the countdown is on (4 WEEKS and 1 day) I really cant wait!!! Will post photots later from home Updated on 22 Aug 2013: OK...so I'm really nervous now that I have been called by the company whose surgery I'm having with and they have said that my surgeon will no longer be able to operate me!!!! They've told me that Dr Kai O Kaye, who is German, will be able to do the procedure for me and even closer to home in marbella....So I get all nervous as I don't know who this guy is??!!! .. I have looked him up on the Internet and he graduated in Berlin, and spent some time in LA, he also given some lectures or stuff in Paris... So he seems promising, so now I have to book a consultation with him, and apparently he is ok to operate on my initial surgery date 18th sept! I hope I like him, some reviews on him are quite good (although bias maybe) Updated on 22 Aug 2013: Updated on 27 Aug 2013: So i had my consultation with the german doctor yesterday evening! they were waiting for me to come in at 7pm, and as soon as i arrived he was there at reception and took me into his office! I was glad not to be put into a waiting room for 30 mins! He was very calm and explained to me who they were and what they do there. and after i explained to him my concern from the sag after breastfeeding and everything, we went to his examination room and he measured me. He believes an implant of 380cc will fill up all the lost volume i have and give me a D cup, he explained why it couldnt be placed under the muscle, as my breast are well below the pectoral muscle so the implant whould be very high up. he did mention how the implant infront of the muscle would help achieve a full upper breast look. he then went on to show me some sample photos of before and afters with patients in a similar position to me, which looked quite good. i felt very safe in his hands, and liked how he was in no hurry to get to the next patient or consultation as are many other surgeons i have consulted with. He mentioned that i would need to come back in for pre-op tests, and i asked him if they could do it today...and they did! so it saves me a trip to the surgeons before the surgery date! all is looking good, had my pre-ops done yesterday, signed all my consent froms, read my T&C's and already have my post-surgery prescription ready!!! forgot to say... they have even pushed forward my surgery date to Friday 13th September! Having the op on a friday means i have the weekend to recover so need to take less days off work, im hoping to be back in the office on the wednesday 18th! Updated on 30 Aug 2013: this time in 2 weeks i will have already come out of surgery! i really cant wait... starting to get confused whether to have the incisions through the nipple or in the mammary fold, whether to chage the profile, size... OMG!!!! i cant stop thinking about it! my husband is well fed up! ... i suppose ill just let the surgeon do what he does best! im sure he will do a good job!!! ***EXCITED*** Updated on 6 Sep 2013: Is it real?!! only 7 days left! I've waited for years to have this done after my first child, and had another kid earlier because i knew i wanted more kids before having surgery... and now I'll be at the clinic waiting to go in before i know it! Even my 4 yr old daughter knows i'm getting my boobs done! (probably not the best example im setting for her but I'm sure she will understand when she's older...besides if she gets the boobs before mummy had kids im sure she will be very happy!) so its... 1 week: 7 days: 161 hours left ... Will post before pics soon :) Updated on 12 Sep 2013: Exactly 10 hours to go for my surgery! Starting to get a bit nervous! .... Had a massive argument with the hubby today, so don't think I'll be getting much support from him these couple of days. My mother is actually coming with me to the surgery, as we have decided it is best for him to stay behind with the kids, she's a nurse so gets really nervous about these things. 1 hr left and I need to stop eating or drinking, have cleaned the whole house top to bottom, and suitcase is nearly ready to head off in the morning. Updated on 12 Sep 2013: Updated on 12 Sep 2013: I'm ready to go and on my way to the clinic!!! Freaking out!!!!! Wish me luck booby friends!!! [RS bleep] Updated on 12 Sep 2013: Updated on 13 Sep 2013: Ok so I arrived at my time and I went in in less than 20 mins...which is great as my friend waited for nearly 8 hrs (at a diff clinic) ..... I woke up 3 hrs after the initial anaesthesia, and was very sleepy, little pain, some pressure on the chest. I soon went for a wee. The room is very nice, and the clinic is 5star!! I have been confirmed that the surgeon has used 385cc HP above the muscle, they look massive, and I'm a bit unsettled that they might be too big, but when I stand up I look VOLUPTUOUS!!!! Wow I'm already loving it, but hope the size comes a bit down!! Updated on 13 Sep 2013: Ok, the pain isn't as bad as I thought, it's like when u decide to not breast feed ur kid all over the sudden, and perhaps even less!!! Although I am on painkillers with an IV. What bothers me more is the pain I have in my back from lying down, so I try to move round the room. I went for a walk round the clinic and spooked the nurses! Don't think they expected to see me up, and also saw the surgeon in the corridor and had a brief chat with him, he's lovely. I'm hoping the pain doesn't get much worse tomorrow! Fingers crossed. The surgeon told me he would come and see me at 10 am and discharge me! Doing really well, I have my hair down and even put on some blusher and lipstick!! So look great too! Also getting used to see these massive boobs, I think I need 2.5 hands of mine to cover one boob!!!!!! Insane! My mother hasn't commented on their size, I bet she is well freaked out! Lol she is very reserved and doesn't care about looks at all!!!!! I am posting a photo now! Updated on 14 Sep 2013: Ok, so it's 24 hrs since I walked in theatre, wearing a disposable gown and knickers! Yesterday's pain was not so bad at all, probably 3 out of 10!! I consider myself a strong woman, my friend was shocked to see I was feeling well as she was a complete mess and was all night crying! Last night approx 15 hrs after the surgery I was given a Valium of 10 mg, I read a chapter of my book, and feel asleep, I woke up at 3 am quite sore, and asked the nurse for some more meds, I think I feel asleep waiting as it was too early for more pain killers... I then woke up a 8 feeling ok.... I was very sore and couldn't get up, (probably morning boobs?!) ... I've had some shooting pains in my right breast but that has gone away after taking another dose of painkillers, and I have now had breakfast... The doctor is due to come in in 15 mins, so going to get ready, brush my hair and put some blush on this face atleast!!! He will discharge me and I'll be allowed home! I haven't posted a pic now as I'm the same as my aft pics I posted yesterday... The bandages will probably be replaced so I will get to see the tities! I'll probably be mortified as I see myself massive and I'm hoping there is some swelling! Updated on 14 Sep 2013: Arrived home probably 30 hrs post surgery... My PS removed the bandages at the clinic, so I saw my boobs for the first time, they looked big and swollen, but I can tell they are going to look really good. We then drove home... And unfortunately as anticipated I arrived to a not so pleasant husband... I've managed to rest all day as my mum took the kids, and when I woke up from a brief nap I can feel a bit more swolle, I had a salad to eat, had my meds... And wait for it.... I weighed my self as I was curious, you'd think with 2 385cc I would have weighed one kilo more right?.....I weight 4 extra kilos??!!, what the heck!!! Lol To round up the day, yesterday morning I had my surgery and it is 10pm of the following day, so I'm not sure what post-op day it is 1 or 2? But the pain is quite bearable! I have 'overs' so it is going to be less painful anyway than under the muscle surgery.... Nite nite to all u booby girls xxxx Updated on 17 Sep 2013: Ok guys it's been 3/4days after my surgery.... The pain has been very manageable. Since arriving home, I have been sleeping loads, my mother had the kids for the weekend so it has been relaxing! The pain hasn't been much, and I had a shower and washed my hair by myself yesterday. I even went shopping for groceries and drove the car! I guess it's because I have the implanting front of the muscle. My left boob is less swollen now, however my right boob is still very hard, I had a little peep at them last night and my right boob is all bruised. I also still have nip sensation so that's good!!! My hips are still swollen and I am now weighing 3 kilos extra still, so I have dropped a kilo since arriving home. This afternoon I have my first check-up, where my doctor will remove the bandages and put me in the surgical bra. Can't wait for that. Will post pics later this evening Xx Updated on 17 Sep 2013: Went to my first check up today and they took the bandages off.... Boobs are big and swollen. My right boob has a massive bruise! They have put a band on me too! Updated on 18 Sep 2013: Today was my first day at work, I forgot to take my pain pills and medication. I was feeling great, a bit sore only at time, but managed to have a very normal day. My colleagues said they looked really good and I think the swelling has gone down a little bit more. These pictures are at the end of day 5 at night.... Updated on 22 Sep 2013: It's Sunday, 9 days post op! ... My left boob is doing really well, but my right boob is still swollen and my bruise is getting a little better but still looks terrible. A lot of the swelling has gone now and you will probably see the difference with the new pictures I'm going to post. I've been sleeping very well, and stopped my meds from day 4-5 approx as I was getting a rash On my face, which is still there :( I've been slowly doing my house chores, and have managed to get things done... Washing my hair fine and having showers... Updated on 23 Sep 2013: Updated on 24 Sep 2013: Tomorrow I'm off to a check up...lets see is the doctor says anything about the hematite/bruise .... Updated on 8 Oct 2013: I cannot believe how quick time has gone by, I'm probably 90% recovered!! I have been sleeping on my sides now since I reached the two week mark.... Most of the swelling has gone down, and most of haematoma has also gone! I think the size is perfect, I went to the beach a couple of days ago and have to be honest I was shy getting them out as I knew my family would be eyeing them up all the time, and they were, but the complimented them and loved how they look.... I think I can already start going to the gym and do some lite exercise on my upper body, but I'm studying for exams so that will have to wait! I'll put some pics up now, sorry for the bad angles but can't get the gist of doing selfies anymore!!!! Lol Updated on 8 Oct 2013: Updated on 13 Jan 2014: Ok so it's been 4 months today! And I'm loving it!
