I honestly can't recommend Dr. Sacks enough

Age 40 and Sporty new mum of a fabulous little man

I decided to have the surgery that I have always wanted when I was off on maternity leave from work so that the 12-week recovery would not be affected by my physically demanding job. The Vertical Breast Reduction surgery was fully explained to me, and the realistic results were discussed at length. 

I have always worn clothes that are baggy and ill-fitting to hide my large breasts. For years I managed to squeeze myself into a 36DD bra, but after discussion with the surgeon I think I was definately closer to a G cup. I would never consider wearing a vest top or any other tight-fitting top in public but since surgery I have completely changed what I wear as now I have greater confidence in my body shape.

I had seen Ms Sacks surgical work before I decided to ask her to improve my physique. She gave me realistic expectations of the surgery, scarring, pain, length of recovery and how the vertical breast reduction would be the best procedure to give me the size and shape of breasts that I wanted.

I woke up from surgery and was comfortable. For the first few days I took some pain killers (Paracetamol & Ibuprofen) but didn't experience any great discomfort. I stuck to the recovery plan for 12 weeks which is essential for a good and painless recovery. 

My posture has improved dramatically since surgery. The pain in the top of my shoulders has completely gone and my self confidence has grown so much. I am now wearing fitted clothes and feeling confident in my appearance. I feel so much better about myself. In work and at home, hardly any of my friends or my colleagues are aware that I have had surgery. They are aware that I have changed what I wear, but not why. I am now a 36B and am not being knocked around when I run or have by boobs tied down within an inch of their lives. 

Ms Sacks was there for me at all stages with advice and insights from pre-surgery through to recovery with in-person consultations and Zoom Meetings due to Covid restrictions. She has kept in contact at regular phases of recovery which were pre-arranged for convienience. She is so kind and makes you feel very relaxed. To me, she feels like a guardian angel that has made a huge difference to my life. 

The cost of the surgery was reasonable. At the end of the day, I saw it as an investment in my future life. I was aware that the hospital offers a finance package which can be helpful to spread the cost if needed.

My only regret would be not having this surgery with Lisa Sacks years ago. I honestly can't recommend her enough; she is very professional, easy to talk to and a fantastic surgeon.
