Hello All
Just got back in the UK after surgery. I was away for a week, which I would recommend as a minimum if you're having lipo and excision.
The whole experience was exactly as people have described on these threads. The clinic is spotless and modern and all of the staff are great. Katarzyna Ostrowska-Clark is a fantastic surgeon and the care I received was far better than anything I've seen or experienced in the UK. I'd have no hesitation recommending anyone to go and see her if they want Gyno surgery.
The real stand out thing about my experience in Poland is how much time the consultant surgeon has for her patients. In the week I was there I saw Katarzyna four times, which was very reassuring as I was healing. I doubt this would ever happen if you paid for a private op in the uk, you'd be lucky to get 10mins before and 10mins after, and I'm lucky enough to get private medical insurance at work so I know this for sure.
Another thing that struck me is how medically professional they are. They do pre-op and post-op testing and every step of the way the medical aspects of the surgery are given just as much importance as the aesthetic aspects.
I stayed at the Atrium and couldn't get the Wi-fi to work which was annoying, otherwise I'd have given a day by day account, but others have done this on other threads.
I bought a support vest from a company called MaCom which was brilliant, it made the whole process of changing the dressings etc much easier and it was very discrete under clothing, it even went through a security pat down at the airport on the way back and I was expecting a WTF !!!! from the security guard but he said nothing.
to quote from Dannyboy740's thread
"It's too early to post up more pics really, so watch this space. If you are thing of going to Szczecin for surgery with KOC then give it some serious thought. Bear in mind that this surgery isn’t a quick fix especially if you need lipo, as you will have a long period of pain and downtime until you start to see the final result."
Amen to that Dannyboy, nothing anyone tells you can prepare you for how painful the drains are (If you need them after lipo). I had to have mine in for an extra day and spent a night in the hotel with them, I can still feel them now and I had them removed four days ago !!!!!. Also you have to be prepared to feel some pain with the massages and generally your chest looks like a war zone for at least 2 weeks if you have excision and lipo. So thanks Dannyboy for the heads up as this really helped me get in the right frame of mind for the op.
All in all though I think there is nothing that can touch Katarzyna Ostrowska-Clark in terms of medical professionalism, cost, specialty (150+ gyno ops and she has started to develop her own techniques), link up with other professionals (the lady that does the ultrasound has now developed a great understanding of the differences between scanning a male and female chest and gives Katarzyna an exact blueprint of your chest to work from). If you do your research (and you really should) I don't think you'll find a place that incorporates all of this ...... and if you do they won't charge £1500ish for excision and lipo with the above level of care and expertise. Also she generally only does one operation at a time, there is only one bed in the surgery so the individual attention you get is amazing, the nurse who looks after you during the overnight stay is there just for you, there are no other patients, so if you groaned loudly the nurse would be in in 10 seconds flat.
Thanks to all on this board that have posted about this clinic in the past, which helped me make up my mind to go there.
