Professor Mackay-Hart provided me with an in-depth explanation of the potential risks and benefits of the abdominoplasty surgery I had enquired about. On admission, the staff were excellent and thorough as well as being very professional. Post-op night 1 was the first time (3 previous ops) I experienced care and pain relief in advance of needing it. I genuinely believe the care that first night was key in my recovery. Although major surgery I was up and self care the next day and home the day after. I took the advice given on pain management and really kept on top of it that first week and I was mobile and coping quite well. After week 1 it was plain sailing, keeping mobile. At week 4, my wound had a very small fat necrosis develop but quick action with antibiotics and follow up with the outpatient clinic has got me through that minor hurdle. I watched and read so many negative articles about this surgery and how much of a struggle it can be post-op. For me, the key to really getting through it so easily was listening to the clear advice, excellent pain management in the early days and having the procedure carried out by an excellent surgeon. Nothing ever goes 100% to plan but following advice and really being positive about the outcome I think was key in me writing this positive review and saying to anyone considering this type of surgery to ignore the online stuff and just go with a good quality surgeon and facility.
Went for a consultation for tummy tuck and vaginoplasty. I was weighed and told I was too high bmi. My problem with this is that I had already known my weight and asked the weight restrictions before coming down but got no answer! Costing me £200 petrol to my brother for the lift £120 for consultation and a full day wasted for 10 minutes consultation to be weighed to find out what I already knew.
14 January 2015 Dear Ms Mackenzie, We would like to thank you for sending us honest feedback about your appointment. I have looked into the circumstances regarding your appointment and have looked at the email trail between yourself and the customer service coordinator. The outcome of this was that you were advised by her that ‘I couldn’t advise regarding your weight Mr Telfer will discuss this at consultation.’ The reason this is the advice given is because each consultant will independently assess each patient on a case by case basis. We apologise that you felt you were misled about your appointment and hope this explanation clarifies the situation. We will continue to assess the information our customer service team give customers on a regular basis. Yours sincerely, Jenn McArthur Customer Services
