24 Yr Old. Pre Op - A Cup. Melbourne, AU

I recently wrote my review on Andrew Greensmith and the team at Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery. Since then I have had my BA and I'm now 11 days post op. On the morning of my surgery I was feeling a little anxious/ nervous/ excited. My main concern was actually with having drains & the IV in my hand. The anaesthetist came to introduce himself and ask a few questions. I mentioned that I was nervous about the IV and he told me he will do what he can to make me feel better and assured me it would be OK. Andrew then came in to do the drawings/ markings and check I was feeling happy with our chosen size etc. (originally we chose 350cc but I told him I'd be happier if I came out and he had used 375. I thought I may need bigger but he advised me that it may look unnatural. Now that I have them, I am SO glad I listened to his advice.) I feel like as soon as Andrew came in, everything felt very calm and the nerves went away. I was 1000% confident in him from within about 5 minutes of my original consult. Next, I walked myself to the operating room, lay on the bed and was given a warm blanket. As the IV was put in, I had people around me making sure I was comfortable and asking me questions. All I remember was falling asleep saying "please tell him to use 375cc's" and we were laughing. I then woke up in recovery feeling a tight and a little swollen. My partner was right beside me the entire time and the nurses were supplying me with apple juice and doing whatever possible to make me feel better. I was then told that he used 375's and I was so happy! The nurse put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me into the lift and helped me get into my partners car. I thought that was also very kind, even though he could of done it himself, she genuinely cared. The next day I had to have my drains taken out (not going to lie.. That was the worst part for me). Andrew then came in to check how I was feeling etc. Since going back to have my dressings changed I have noticed how tiny my incisions are as he used the Keller funnel (no touch technique) which makes such a difference. I am so pleased I had the chance to have that!I'm now 11 days post op and even though I know there are many changes to come as they settle into place.. I am SO happy! I understand plastic surgeons do these surgeries daily, but for me that day Andrew completely changed my life for the better :) It's a wonderful thing to have complete confidence in your surgeon and I would recommend him to everybody! He is an extremely experienced professional that I believe is also a very nice person in general. This will leave you feeling comfortable, confident and ready for your procedure.
