Choose the Best. I Did and Have No Regrets - London, GB

If you’re considering undergoing any cosmetic procedure, the surgeon you choose will be the most important decision you make concerning this. It’s his skill and expertize you’ll be relying on - not just for the procedure itself, but for all the guidance and information you’ll need to make a fully informed decision ; particularly for this procedure because there will be many questions and options to decide. Should I go over or under the muscle? What size is best for me? Round or anatomical? What should I expect and prepare for with my recovery? What sort of guarantees and after care will be given? You can research a lot of this online, but you won’t know exactly what is right for you until you go for your consultation with your surgeon, who will help you decide what is right for you and your body.
I, like many other women, did my research before booking any consultations and found on websites (like this one and other forums) that one name kept popping up, Mr Allen Rezai. When I researched further, I found that it was impossible to find a single negative thing about him. Not one bad review. Nothing less than 5 stars on every aspect of his skill and care. I think then I knew I had found the right surgeon for me.

The Hospital I went to for the procedure was Highgate Private Hospital. I was a little worried about staying there as it seems to have very mixed reviews online, but I thought the level of care, attentiveness and facilities available were all great. There is a small TV in the room but with only a few channels, so I was glad to have brought a few things with me while I was waiting with my family. There was an en suite bathroom complete with shower (not that I’d be using it) as well as wifi and a call button for the nurse in my room. There was also a phone which I could use for calls and to order food from the kitchen any time I wanted. The menu was limited, but had something for every taste. I stuck with plain food like panini while I was there. The most important aspects such as patient care, medical facilities and nursing staff were all excellent but there were one or two hiccups in my stay which were more due to my own ignorance so I’ll inform others here:
Firstly, when you check in, don’t use the bathroom straight away; they will do a pregnancy test on you for their records when the nurse sees you so wait till then. I didn’t know so I went straight away and then had to wait a while till I could do the test, which delayed my surgery by a couple of hours.
Secondly, research the after effects of general anesthetic before you go to the hospital, neither I, nor my poor family were prepared for the irritability I had for a couple of weeks after my surgery. It was like the worst PMS ever. Most women get teary and emotional, I wanted to head-butt people.
Thirdly, and lastly, you won’t be allowed to eat for at least 12 hours before your surgery but don’t try to make up for it after by eating too much. I took full advantage of the food available which was included in the cost of the room (I stayed overnight) and the morning of my discharge I ate well, felt fine and then threw up when we were about to leave. The nurses were wonderful though, they sprang into action, had me lie back down on my bed, cooled me down, monitored my blood pressure and I wound up being wheeled out of the hospital to my ride home a couple of hours later than we had arranged, more fool me for trying to be a tough girl. We had to cancel the taxi we booked but the hospital arranged for another to come and the cost was even slightly less than the one we had booked in advance beforehand, so it all worked out in the end.
The nurses were all very kind and friendly apart from one (there always has to be a bad apple) and I was checked on throughout the night of my stay to make sure I was okay. My family were also reassured and made to feel welcome, they stayed in my room when I was in theatre and only left late that night which was fine by the staff who don’t restrict this sort of thing and gave them drinks throughout which was also included in the price of my stay so we weren’t charged any extra while we were there, even though I was discharged later than the norm.

It has been less than two months since my surgery right now and I can say that I have no regrets. I fit into all my old clothes better than before and look forward to fitting into some new ones too. I now enjoy having very natural breasts which fit my body and balance out my figure, something I have wanted since I was a teenager. Because my breasts now look so natural and in proportion, I enjoy the freedom of discretion as to whom I do and do not tell about my procedure. If I want someone to know, I’ll tell them, but if I want to keep it to myself, they’ll never suspect that I am not naturally endowed. It is thanks to the expertize of Mr Rezai and his team that I now can enjoy such natural looking results without ever wondering if I made the wrong choice in any aspect of my procedure.
