Small correction surgery in Katowice

My operation was nearly 1 year ago and I was deemed eligible for a small correction surgery by Dr Mekle as my left flank was slightly bigger than my right one. The correction surgery was free and was performed with local anaesthetic in the Centrum Estetiky Ciala in Katowice about ten days ago.

Once again, Dr Mekle and his staff were truly fantastic. I cannot but praise them not only for an excellent job, but for a lovely attitude in my regards. I travelled on my own to Katowice and they let me stay at the clinic until it shut down at 8pm. The lovely nurses even found a room for me where I could do some work from my laptop, undisturbed, and brought me a lovely breakfast and a lunch consisting in a plate of meat and vegetables, plus all the tea/coffee I desired.

Natasza from Top Medics Poland was outstanding too, once again organising my stay in Poland and any transfers I needed (with their lovely chauffeur, Peter).

Im now recovering from the correction surgery and my flank is still a bit swollen and bruised, but I can definitely feel (and see) it's more even than before and more similar to my right side.

I'm not planning to have any other surgery, but if I did, I would certainly go back to Katowice and to Dr Mekle!

It's a new life

I haven't updated my review since June and I believe it's time to do so. Even if I still don't know if I will need a revision operation on my flanks (there's literally a "step" between the end of my flanks and the beginning of my buttocks and I really don't like it, and I think it shouldn't take much to remove it even if it would be such a work of precision!!) I can say with certainty I'm happy with my results. I've lost a size, which may not seem that much, but my confidence levels are so much higher than before! My waist is 5cm smaller, and I've lost 10cm on my hips! I'm no longer scared to be around people and I no longer look at other womens bodies with envy. I am happy of the way my body looks now and I am no longer suffering from food bingeing. I'd recommend having the surgery if you feel unhappy of the way your body looks and you feel you've tried everything you can with no results. And I recommend Dr Mekle, I am still not 100% of the communication with him after the surgery, and I still believe he performs better on men than on women (look at his stunning male ab etching work!!) but he's a true professional and he definitely knows what he's doing.

What's wrong with my tummy?

I'm now 12 weeks post and my tummy still looks horrible. I'm very happy with my shape and with my clothes on I look much better than before, I lost a trousers size and I feel much more confident. But when I undress and I look at my tummy, I wonder what's gone wrong and I regret having it done since it looks as big as it was pre-op. The high def scar tissue is still hard (I can feel two rope-like hardened tissue bits on both sides of my umbilicus) and all the area around belly button is puffy and deformed. I know it's still too early to make a final judgement but I keep seeing enthusiastic Vaser reviews from happy users and I wonder why I'm the only one who's having so many problems with her belly?! I'm uploading some photos so you know what I'm talking about.

Dr Mekle is not only a true professional, but is also very nice on a personal level. He doesn't talk much, which I appreciated as I felt he wasn't trying to wind me around. He will tell you what he can and cannot do, which is very good as he will not give you any fake promises. From what I've seen on the reviews on here, and what I have experienced on my own body, I do believe his best work is the one he performs on men. But he's done a great job on me and I'll never stop being grateful to him. His staff is also fantastic and the girls working at the clinic will always put a smile on your face and cheer you up in your worst moments. Post-op communication could be improved, but all in all I can't complain. I really recommend this doctor and the Centrum Estetiky in Katowice, and the assistance of Natasza at Top Medics Poland.
