I Feel Disfigured

Having lost 10 stone I was left with a lot of excess skin and suffered with back pain. Costs for a FDL TT in UK were around £8,000 and a friend recommended Dr Ahmed Elsaftaway in Poland when the prices were substantially less (approx £3000). Even with flights and accommodation the price was competitive and I booked after seeing my friends results. I underwent surgery and my first time out of bed I could feel the difference in the back pain however I knew the FDL TT was not right even that early when I came around as I had excess skin pushed up above the binder. I was told it was because of the binder and as I didn't know and different trusted the clinical staff knew what they were talking about. I continued to have complications including a number of infections. It is now nearly 4 months since I underwent surgery with Dr Ahmed Elsaftaway and feel I have been left disfigured. Due to the infection rate I do not want to return to Poland for further surgery as I have found the whole experience quite emotional.

Hi. I just had a surgery for liposuction in Poland also. I feel good tho bruised and sore. Staff was great and I stayed overnight in clinic with drain tubes. All my problem areas are gone. Maybe you should look for a better doctor? I had initially gone to one and was referred to the one I went to after as he said he wouldn't be able to get the results I wanted but this doctor could.
Not really a helpful comment!

Thanks Veronica. I'm now looking to have corrective surgery. It's all quite emotional
