First Class Procedure from a Top Class Surgeon Dr Bramhall
WORTH IT
What an amazing experience from start to finish. Let me begin by explaining from consultation. Dr Bramhall was extremely professional & I knew from the start that I felt safe & had no fears or worries. He explained what my options were & in particular that due to my facial anatomy & presentation what would work, how he would proceed with the treatment & what to expect. For example that he would not take the incision on my right eye too far into the nose area as this could cause webbing & that this eye was significantly more hooded than the left (as can be seen in pics). Also that if proceeding with blepharoplasty that I couldn’t then decide to have a brow lift (all options were thoroughly explained & discussed). There was no pressure to book - instead it was a brilliant insight into how a surgeon at the top of his profession would individually treat me. His professional manner throughout was exemplary. The treatment day itself was straightforward - I was greeted very warmly & asked how I was & how I felt and taken into a completely clean sterile room and all staff were ppe prepped and every single person again asked how I was and were absolutely lovely. One even asked if I needed my hand held for the procedure. (I didn’t). I was then asked to sit on the treatment bed to turn facing Dr Bramhall in sitting position & asked to open and close my eyes for a few minutes so that he could mark incision lines. This was a through part at the start of the procedure. I was then reclined on the bed and kept informed of what to expect at each stage of the procedure. Was then injected with local anaesthetic (felt a few scratches of needle going in but same as dentist so was absolutely fine). Dr Bramhall asked how I felt and constantly checked throughout with me that I felt ok. (& had some music playing too which was easy to listen to). Obviously you know that work is being done on your eyes but I felt no pain at all - just the sensation of hands on my upper face moving as he worked. I just felt very safe throughout and was calm and before I knew it the procedure was finished. I was again asked how I was and if I had any questions (I didn’t as everything had been explained prior & throughout). I was given verbal aftercare in the treatment room - the stitches would be removed in 1 week & to use antibiotic cream for 5 days in eye can use cold compress and to gently clean. I then went into a separate darkened room with cups of tea & biscuits for 1/2 hour to ensure all well after procedure. I was then given my home pack with antibiotic cream, gauze and full written aftercare & contact details to contact the clinic at any time should I need to. Then home. Recovery was absolutely fine - I took 10 days after work to accommodate bruising / swelling and had bought a v pillow & slept upright for 14 days and used arnica and bromelain to aid recovery. Dr Bramhall in my opinion is a brilliant surgeon & I had researched him fully and knew that he was also a Nhs consultant at Glasgow Royal Infirmary so I knew that at that level of expertise at consultant level that I was in the very best of hands. I could not have asked for anything better & please if you’ve read this far do not hesitate to book for any procedure with Dr Bramhall. He is the best.
