Alright mate..just got my OP carried out by ACS in Dublin and was wondering if I could get some post op advice from u....email trevorg@oceanfree.net or trevorg83@yahoo.com

Sorry, I didn't see your private messages.

Did all go ok? How much did it cost? What did you think of the place?

[trevinem]

it cost 4200 euro and was carried out by a guy called Dr. Samy Malhas. Yeah the place was spotless and the staff were very nice. I got my stitches out and bandage off last saturday but ive got mixed feelings. Anybody ive asked on the forum thinks my chest looks fine now but i dont see much improvement than before, i still feel ive got smaller boobs! The guys were just saying its just because my chest is swollen that it seems that way

If its any reassurance, after my op, the swelling actually made my chest look BIGGER than it was pre op! I was dead scared that the op had been a total failure, and it took a few weeks for the swelling to go down, so be patient mate, once the swelling and scar tissue goes down you will see the true results.

Sorry to jump on the back of your thread trevinem !

Do you have any pics up? Did he do gland extraction as well as Lipo?

I still have a little fat on both sides, but I'm giving it a few months before I see Mr.Levick again just in case it's fluid that will be reabsorbed.

I'm about 80% with the results - saying that, I'm a lot happier before the op. It's such a sensitive subject for us that if we don't get 'perfection' then we get a little paranoid!

London_boy - sorry for the lack of feedback and photos, things have been mental here. Any updated pics yerself?

[trevinem]

yeah i have some posted int the user photos section. He only odne Lipo because he said i didnt need gland extracion done

[London_boy]

Irish, I'm in the same boat as you, I just haven't got round to taking any more pics recently, I'll try and take some and upload them at the weekend !

Pretty happy with my results though, everythings looking pretty much normal other than for a little bit of fluid build up on the rhs.

Just saw the pics - A1 - absolutely A1 job.

The reason I asked about the gland removal is that a lot of gyne cases are 50/50 fat/gland. When Mr. Levick spoke to me after my op he told me he took out a lot of 'gristle' (I presume gland) that was so tough that he couldn't break it up with his fingers when he took it out.

Well done!

cheers mate...as i said my chest still seems quite big (and hard as a rock!) and very sore. Could the fact it seems big be down to swelling in which case it should go down in time?
