Totally Worth the Discomfort

The procedure is not for wimps but in my opinion completely worth having. The initial injections to numb the site were painful but soon over. I was worried about having the procedure whilst awake but once I got used to the pulling feeling and the cutting sound it was fine. I could ask for more aesthetic when I needed it and it worked quickly. The whole experience took 3 hours in total and I soon relaxed into it and listened to their banter (amusing) whilst it was going on. They checked that I was alright all the time and kept me informed about what they were doing..

The first week of recovery was a bit difficult. The first few days were quite painful. After that it was more uncomfortable than painful. The bandage round my face was itchy but I put soft fabric underneath it and that sorted it out. I stayed in bed and just let myself recover for about 5 days after which time I felt up to doing jobs around the house. I would allow 3 to 4 weeks before you plan to go anywhere special. It takes that long for the bruising and swelling to subside.

I am so pleased I did this. I has really helped my confidence and made a big difference to how I look. Professor Mahajan was a delight. Gentle, kind, professional and reassuring. He did a marvellous job and the aftercare was excellent. Jay his assistant was also a gem. Friendly, professional and always there to support me. I am now nearly 5 months in and it looks fabulous. In fact it looked really good within 6 weeks.

I would totally recommend Prof Mahajan as a surgeon. Very professional and experienced. He took me through a challenging procedure with gentleness and reassurance.
