I spent many years living with large breasts and always felt that one day I would/should have breast reduction surgery to avoid the complications of shoulder/back pain, and poor posture, and to get away from the endless energy and anxiety of trying to dress them properly for work, play, exercise and special occasions. However, it needed to be the right time for me (I waited until I was 40 but having had the operation now, I happily would have done it years ago!), and most importantly, I needed to meet the right surgeon to trust with my concerns. It was my personal trainer and friend who had previously had breast augmentation by Lisa Sacks who sang Lisa's praises and said I would love her and that she would change my life for the better. My friend knew the in's and out's of the cumbersome nature and limitations that my breasts were placing on my life, especially my ability to exercise and lose weight, and my friend was right. As soon as I met Lisa for my first consultation, I knew I was in safe hands. I was nervous, anxious and worried about putting myself into an elective operation for reasons that were so personal that I thought no-one else could understand and may just think I was being vain. But Lisa understood everything I was feeling and explained how the surgery worked and how it would improve all of the worries I had. Lisa spent time showing me pictures of past patients (without identifying them) and set my expectations that actually, this is an operation that would alleviate all of the things that worried me every single day about living large breasts. Lisa's patient care, pre- during- and post- surgery was and is exceptional, I cannot state this enough in words. I am now 3 months post-surgery and I wear non-wired bras (this was literally a no-go area before), my breasts are in the right place on my body, my posture has improved, my confidence has improved and I have freed up so much space in my brain by not worrying every day about how my large breasts would impact that day that I feel like a better version of myself in more ways than I could have expected. I am still curvy, Lisa ensures that you are in proportion and how you want to be after surgery. I was worried about being too small as I felt that part of my identity was being curvy, and now I am curvy, in proportion, and the excessive shoulder pain I was having every single day for 2 years before my surgery literally went the day of the operation. I think it was a mixture of the tension I held there and the weight of my breasts but it went and I don't have it any more. THIS is revolutionary! And for anyone worried about the operation itself, I can assure you that the care and attention you receive means it is manageable - the pain is completely managed such that I genuinely barely had any, and taking the time to rest as advised and following the instructions given means you are back on your feet in no time. I was back to work the day I was expected to return and it is genuinely the best thing I have done to take care of myself for future, and I am eternally gratefully that I met Lisa at the right time in my life. I was lucky that Lisa was close to my home but I would have travelled, 100%. My expectations were exceeded on every step from my consultations with Lisa, and on the day of surgery where Lisa and her entire team associated with every step of the process were unbelievable - I felt like I was in safe hands throughput, and I was. Lisa's aftercare is also exceptional. She allows you her personal contact for 3 weeks so if you have any concerns they are addressed immediately. On the day of surgery you see Lisa throughout, and it was a beautiful gesture to find a stunning orchid and card from Lisa when I came round from surgery, an item I treasure with fond memories every time I look at it. I could not have wished for better service from Miss Lisa Sacks.
