6 Months Post Op Review of Breast Augmentation

Couldn’t recommend the Avoca team and Dr Cormac Joyce any higher. I’m 6 and 1/2 months post op but from the first appt and I explained what I hoped to achieve, Cormac was very realistic in terms of size shape the best type of implant for me and what he thought would suit my frame we discussed this at length and he answered any questions I had regarding the process and my potential concerns. I then went to the breast suite where I tried on a number of prosthesis with bras to see the overall look I was hoping to achieve. I decided in the breast suite on the implant and went ahead with a date for May there was no pressure on me to make any decisions at any point in fact I could have gone off and thought about it but I knew what I wanted so was eager to begin the process that was February and within a week I was booked in for May. Upon arrival the staff put me at ease straight away, on the way to the day ward every single member of staff smiled or acknowledged me, the nurse who looked after me was lovely we chatted before being seen by the anaesthetist who explained everything regarding the procedure and finally I met Cormac before who put me at ease completely. The guys that took me theatre were magic !! we listened to Bruno Mars before the procedure while I was being prepped ! Although it was a state of the art theatre there was nothing sterile or clinical about the staff or the atmosphere they were amazing every last one. I came around quite groggy but once I could manage I had tea and toast which I devoured with no nausea at all. I was in far less pain than I expected on the day and I thought it was down to the anaesthesia but the next day I found it manageable I took the strong pain relief for that day and the following and then started on paracetamol two days after surgery, if I was to describe the pain it would be like a weight on your chest some discomfort but very manageable. The healing process was great and within a week I was feeling back to myself I took the advice however took it easy no exercise attended the aftercare appointments continued to keep the dressings clean and let the implants settle in. Don’t be alarmed at this stage they will look unsymmetrical and a little strange but this does really settle after a week or two. Through every follow up appointment, the staff and care remained the same impeccable professional and relatable. On my final appointment I met with Cormac who took a look at the healing process and the recovery and discharged me. I wanted to give as honest detailed and accurate account of my experience for anyone who may be considering breast augmentation while also allowing myself some time to reflect before posting a review. I can genuinely say that 6 ish months post op my only regret is not having the procedure done sooner !!! The process went exactly as I had hoped and I’m fully sure that was down to the consultation process and the standard of care I received. If your looking for the best possible experience Avoca is the place that I would have top of my list for a consultation, go and decide the rest for yourself. Best of luck on your journey I hope you will be as happy as I am with the results !
