I got breast implants when I was 22 years old. I had no problems with them, they were just too big and I didn't want big fake boobs anymore. I got them removed in the avoca clinic in wicklow Ireland. The female surgeon on my pre-op visit was very nice. However I ran into trouble post-op. She used glue for the incision site . I am in the professional field myself and after two weeks I knew they were not healing properly . I rang the avoca clinic to see if I could be the surgeon, I got told she doesn't see her post-op until four weeks after the operation.I had worked in plastic's before aboard, and the surgeon should see their patients the week after at least. So i had to see the nurse instead. The nurse had a look and said everything was fine. A week after that they still were not healing properly and were red and sore. I rang again and insisted to see the surgeon . I had to wait a full week before I got an appointment . Then on the day of my appointment they rang and cancelled it, and said I had no choice but to wait another month to see the surgeon. So two months later I eventually seen her. She had to make new incisions on the wounds and use more glue. I would advise anyone thinking of getting surgery done in ireland not to go to the avoca clinic. The post-op care you receive is below the standard . Post-op care on any surgery is vital to a good recovery . My scars pre-op wear flat white and not noticeable , now i am left with uneven red scars. It still hurts to wear a wired bra . It's been nearly a year since their out and my scars are still sore. I am currently receiving fraxel laser on them to help them heal and look better. For a plastic surgeon to use glue to close a wound is just unacceptable and lazy. Mostly general surgeons use glue on patients getting hernia repair or children in emergency cases . It shouldn't be used on an area where you're trying to achieve a cosmetic result. The people who work in the avoca clinic have very little clinical knowledge and do not go to the female surgeon. I regret going there for the surgery but I dont regret getting the implants out. I feel I definitely could could of achieved about better cosmetic result if I went to another surgeon.
