Breast uplift with implants honest review
I have just arrived back in England yesterday after my visit to The Badge Clinic. I am writing this honest review to help others when trying to decide which company and surgeon to use as I know how important it is to hear other people’s opinions when researching different surgeons to use for our procedures.
So, I had personally researched for just under a year for breast lift and implants as my boobs had become a deflated 38DD after breast feeding and weight loss. They was fine under clothes but when naked in front of my partner I felt so self conscious and knew I need to do this for my confidence.
My partner came with me to Istanbul where we were greeted by our driver in a luxury vehicle outside the airport. He drove us to the hotel, I thought we were going to the Radisson park Inn hotel but on arrival it had been upgraded to a 5 star hotel right in the centre of the city called Ramada Plaza. The hotel was lovely, huge room, with huge bed and tv mini bar tea coffee etc, also a big en-suite with walk in shower. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant that night which was lovely and good value. The next morning we were picked up at 10.30am and taken to the Academic Private Hospital and showed to the room. It was a lovely private room with en-suite and tv. The nurses were lovely some spoke some English some not so we used google translate and got along fine with this.
They bought my partner lunch ( I obviously couldn’t eat because of surgery but they still looked after him which was kind ) I had bloods taken and filled out some forms waited for a while and then Dr Burak came in for my consultation ( I had previously spoken on phone with him when I was in England aswell He assessed my breasts and we spoke about my expectations I showed him a photo of my desired look and we discussed implant size. I said I was happy for him to decide what he felt was right for me whilst in surgery as I trust his judgement. The Anaesthetist came in and introduced himself also.
A short while later the nurses came to my room with a surgical bed I hopped on and they wheeled me to another place. On the way they put something in my cannula which made drowsy I remember going into a freezing cold room with blue lights above me ( well I think I remember that lol ). Next thing I know they are calling my name waking me up ! I woke up shivering so bad so if you are thinking about surgery be aware of this because it quite alarming ! Anyway after around half hour I was back in my room warmed up and had a drip on with painkillers and saline to hydrate me. I stayed at the hospital that night and they brought us food again which was nice.
The next day dr burak came to see me and check my dressings before I was given the all clear to go back to the hotel. The driver came to collect us and drove so very carefully all the way back.))
I spent the next few days feeling a bit rough which
Is to be expected and my partner helped me with dressing and showering etc. I didn’t have much appetite but there is a Mac Donald’s directly at the bottom of the hotel and hundreds of shops and food outlets surrounding and it’s all so inexpensive. Also there is 24 hour room service.
I spent 3 more nights in the hotel and was then collected on Saturday morning to be taken back to the hospital for my final check and dressing change before we was taken to the airport to fly home.
My whole experience even though I was so nervous about going to another country was
flawless. Dr Burak is a genuine man he doesn’t sell you a dream he’s honest about expectations and also answers any questions and concerns, believe me I had more than a few! he is skilled and very professional. There is also a lady Nergiz who was my lifeline from the time we got on the plane and through every part of my time there she was always there with advice and support. A truly lovely lady.
I am 5 days post op still recovering but all going smoothly so far I will add pictures of before and after when I am healed. I would definitely recommend)
