I originally had implants in 2007. I have since breastfed three children, which left my breasts really wonky. The left breast was much larger and very droopy, there was at least a 2cm difference in the position of my nipples. The appearance of my breasts massively affected my self confidence and it meant that I couldn't wear some types of clothes/underwear/ swimwear. After stopping breastfeeding and allowing my breast tissue to settle for 6 months, I decided to look for a consultant who could fix my breasts. I looked at reviews of different consultants and decided to book consultations with Mr Mahajan and one other. Mr Mahajan was professional and understanding from the outset. He ensured I had realistic expectations and answered all my questions thoroughly. He felt that I needed a left sided mastopexy/uplift, with or without a change of implants. His communication with me via email following my consultation was prompt and thorough. He alleviated my concerns and reassured me were needed. I decided to book for surgery with him following a second consultation, two weeks after the initial one. Due to the age of the implants in situ, I would opt for new implants at the same time. The day of surgery went really smoothly, Mr Mahajan came and marked me up, answered any questions I had and the next thing I knew I was waking up with new breasts. My pain was managed really well by the nurses and I felt looked after by the team. The morning after surgery Mr Mahajan came to review me. He checked my breasts and the drain and decided all was well for me to be discharged. I had the drain removed and was discharged that evening with lots of aftercare advice and pain relief. My recovery has been fine, I was in some pain for the first week or so, but keeping on top of the pain killers and avoiding three children jumping all over me helped! I was reviewd at day 10 by Mr Mahajan, who was happy with healing at that point. My left breast remained more swollen than the right but this has now settled and my breasts are much more symmetrical. I am over the moon with my results and I feel much more confident about my body. I have been careful not to do too much and I am now 6 weeks post surgery and looking forward to starting to exercise properly again. It will be another few weeks before they are completely settled and I can shop for new underwear, so excited! Thank you so much Mr Mahajan, you've made an unbelievable difference to my life!
