From a young age I have always hated the shape of my breasts and following a weight loss of 2 stone and a becoming a gym bunny I was left even more dissatisfied with my bust. After contemplating a “boob job” for many years I finally made the decision that this was something I wanted to do. I spent a lot of time researching surgeons and hospitals looking at places like Transform and MYA but wasn’t keen on the big companies and wanted something closer to home and a hospital with a smaller family feel. I wanted a surgeon that was friendly and kind and would take the time to listen to what I wanted. I found Mr Lam through his 5 star recommendations online and through speaking to his previous patients so booked my consultation at Claremont Private Hospital as I knew the hospital well. I was very nervous and worried about the whole thing but was met with a very jolly, kind and compassionate doctor who listened to my goals, expectations and worries realistically. I was wearing a 30/32 C bra which gapped at the front due to lack of volume. It was critical to me that my boobs looked natural and I didn’t want them to be big, I discussed this with Mr Lam and on his recommendation opted for an anatomical (teardrop) shaped implant. I booked my op during my consultation as I was so impressed by Mr Lam and how at ease he had made me feel. He gave me three options on implant size for my desired D/DD cup, I decided on the middle option of 255mls. The consultation was in March and I booked my operation for July giving me plenty of time to cool off and mull over the decision. When they day came I was terrified to say the least but once again Mr Lam made me feel at ease and comfortable constantly reassuring me and making sure I was ok. The op went fine and I was only in theatre 50 minutes with no drains just a support bra. Mr Lam came to check on me post op then once again before he went home. I was discharged the next morning with some pain killers and a 3 day course of antibiotics. The pain was moderate for the first 5 days more uncomfortable than anything and awkward as you have to sleep on your back and sat upright for 2 weeks post op. I was able to shower a few hours after surgery as had shower proof dressings insitu. I had one week off work but really could have done with two. I had no real complications post-surgery just a few aches and pains that I was reviewed for, nothing was too much trouble and I was seen at the hospital twice for a check-up to put my mind at rest. One of these times Mr Lam had a full clinic but still squeezed me in to see him – this really helped me as I am a bit of a worrier. At my final review 6 weeks post op Mr Lam said he was very pleased with my results. The finished product is a really natural looking bust; in fact I don’t think people would know they are not real. I am now 12 weeks post op and am over the moon with the results. I am fully back to my normal routine gym, work etc. I am wearing a 30E bra, the size suits my figure and the shape is very natural. I am so so happy with my new boobs and really cannot recommend this man enough! Thank you Mr Lam! Female 24 Sheffield
