Alright mate,
I had surgery last Tuesday, excision and lipo. Went great. I was the 4th and final patient of the day.
Stayed at Euston Square Hotel, got an Uber to Harley street with Blue, the patient coordinator. Great guy. Very calming.
Surgery was delayed for around an hour. No real issue. Met
Dr. Nurein to get photos and markings ready for surgery. Pretty straight forward guy. No airs or graces. Didn’t bother me.
Went upstairs with nurse. Competed a few basic checks on me then into surgery!
It was surreal as you’d expect. Given local anaesthetic, waited a few minutes then straight in with lipo. Small incision below chest. Can barely see now, healed great. Like tiny scratches. Lipo was the most painful part. Really surreal feeling. With me being last patient, and because they were running quite far behind I’m not sure if he rushed a little and got on with it before LA took affect. Could be wrong. He frequently asked if I was ok. When I said it hurt, he’d change positions and come from a different angle.
Then onto excision of gland. Both quite small compared to some I’ve seen. Couldn’t feel a thing. Stitched up and done!
Dr. Nurein left room immediately and gave nurses job of aftercare. Girl put bandages on me and vest. Got another vest in care package which was handy.
Now 7 days out. Looking great. Lots of texts with Matthew and Blue. Face timing dr tomorrow. Every day get a survey via text message to fill in as part of aftercare.
Right breast is swollen and bruised (yellowish) left breast is flat. This is normal apparently. Vest worn 24/7 for 6 weeks aside from shower.

All of the pain, discomfort and soreness is worth it. Just get it done!
