270 degree TT and Arm Lift
After losing 10 stone in weight I was referred to Mark on the NHS. My expectations were not very high and I arrived expecting an outright rejection. He was VERY thorough during the consultation and even though I found the process very distressing it got better when I realised he wasn't looking with disgust but a professional eye and a solution to my problems.
After that initial consultation he applied for funding and stated the ball rolling - again I expected another rejection.
I was over the moon and overwhelmed at my next appointment to discover that I had actually been accepted. This appointment and with the markings of what was going to be removed. This was agonising as by this point I was so ashamed of my body. Again my fears were eased with Marks professionalism.
On the day of my surgery my nerves were sky high, that was until Mark and in and showed me his sheer excitement at what he was about to embark on. That made me for the first time actually be excited about what I was about to do.
On waking up I was uncomfortable but not in pain, I looked so slim that took over. I had two drains in my tummy and one in each of my arms, they were hell. After 24 hours they were out so no to bad looking back! Pre op Mark told me to get up and shower as soon as I could. The morning after I got up, took the bandages off and walked to the shower (like a woman in her 90's). Where I proceeded to throw up and faint! Luckily my partner was with me, I have to admit after a shower I felt a million times better! I left hospital that afternoon, exactly 24 hours after coming out of surgery.
Recovery at home was fine, my TT hurt more than I expected (I've had a c section and it was a lot worse). It took about 4 weeks for the stretching burning pain to subside. But the scars are FANTASTIC.
The arms, well they were a whole new ball game, the stitches opened in places but due to the advice given pre op I used hibiscrub to wash in and continued to shower and redress every day so never picked up an infection. They did heal eventually (the good old Greek sea done they the world of good). The scars are much redder and wider than I thought they would be but again I am over the moon compared to the disgusting loose skin that swung.
If I can give one tip to anyone it's "manage your expectations". I look fantastic but I don't look perfect, I don't have the skin of a 21 year old.
Mark has changed my life, he has given me something I've never had (been over weight all my life). Anyone considering using him as their surgeon will not be disappointed
