Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Weight
Weighed myself day one post surgery, I’d gained 6 pounds. Then day after that had lost 4lbs from the previous day. Today I’d lost another two from the previous day. Just thought I would share this for anyone who wonders about the swelling weight!
The fact that weight can come and go so fast and easily makes a mockery of my scales I think, haha.

Less pain today
I can definitely feel myself returning a bit, I was able to do some work yesterday and sat up at my desk on my laptop which was a lot more comfortable.
I am sat in the hairdresser currently having a full head of highlights so hopefully that will help me feel a bit sexier again!
I have a bit of a problem... I am meant to be going on a DATE in two days time, but I am so nervous my face will still be swollen and I will be sore!
I can’t quite tell if my face is still swollen or whether I am being paranoid. Drinking loads of water to try and flush my system.
Feeling quite heavy, bloated and gross in general, not ideal haha. Fortunately he goes away for two weeks after the date so I can try and get back to more of a normal state. I really don’t want to tell him I’ve had this done!!
What would you do?! I wasn’t expecting this to happen so am not really prepared for how to deal with it haha. Worried he will put his arm on me and feel I’m wearing a mega tight compression garment. LOL!

How the surgery went
OK, so I had the surgery yesterday!
I have updated the status to 'not sure' because I had to pick one but as yet I haven't been able to look at my results and I'm very swollen, hopefully the answer will be YES soon!
First off, I was not expecting to feel this BAD. I mean, it's not totally horrendous but it's certainly not a walk in the park. I had a lot of areas done – flanks, abdomen, bra roll, arms, thighs and knees, so maybe that's why.
When I came round from the anaesthetic (god, the feeling of going to sleep is SO funny isn't it, I was loving it) I was FREEZING. Like, so so cold my teeth were chattering and body convulsing in that really really unstoppable cold way, that wasn't great. The first thing i managed to say was FFFFUUU I'm so cold and so they put a hot tube thing in the bed and a blanket over me, think i was just lying there in a gown but can't be sure. Maybe it's normal to be frozen.
I was surprised at how wiped out I felt. I've had general anesthetic before for my boobs and I don't remember feeling like I was run over by a tractor but I guess you forget these things! Pain in my thighs was bad, everywhere else was OK. It was hard to get up and walk around, my lower back hurt when I did it and I just felt so heavy, probably weighed down by all this excess fluid!
The fluid swelling is REAL! I touched my back and felt how full it feels, it's kind of funny. I'm not in any rush to take a look at what's under my garment, I can't take it off or shower till Sunday anyway but I'd rather let the swelling subside a bit before I take a peep.
He said he removed 3L from me which is a bit less than I hoped for but I'm sure he did everything he could! When I was coming round I thought I heard one of the hospital people say 6L hahaha. I guess it's not about the litres it's about the contour and the effect.
Nurses were AMAZING and reassuring. I had a bit of an emotional meltdown when I didn't have a garment for my arms, the surgeon's assistant said I could get it from the hospital on the day when I emailed to check and it turned out I couldn't, so I had just been bandaged up. (You'd think perhaps they would know this, given the hospital is the same building they do all their consultations). When it's been drilled into you how important the garments are, to wake up without one and then be told there isn't one available – when you've spent £7.5k and so want to do everything in your power to maximise your results – it's not the nicest feeling in the world, so I got a bit upset and felt like it'd been overlooked. Then his assistant gave me an address to go to to get one. I was lying in bed leaking blood, 2 hours out of surgery, there was no way I was going to go and get it myself, I was actually horrified that this was suggested to me and quite disbelieving of the fact! I'm still wrapping my head around that.
ANYWAY. Eventually she got it for me from a shop about 15 minutes away, and I felt much happier.
I want to base this review on the skill of the surgeon rather than the other bits, I guess, but there were a few things I wasn't comfortable with. NOT from the nurses, who were amazing
