Evening all
So I met with Alex Karidis this morning. Really nice guy. I don't think I was with him for more than about 15 or 20 mins. He asked me to remove my shirt, he had a quick feel of the chest area, and then asked me to stand in front of a mirror and point out to him what I was unhappy with. He said I don't have that much fat to remove (as I've already have lipo years ago) but that he could make me flatter by removing some more fat from under the armpit region, as well as on the chest, as well as removal of the gland... AND... he can trim down my nipples so they are of normal size and nice and flush - woohoo! So he is confident he can give me my desired result. I am consequently booked in for surgery on Thursday 4th July
He did also talk to me about having my upper and lower abs, plus my flanks, lipo'd to give me a more uniform look. No matter how much weight I have shed in the past, or even after having done several months with a personal trainer last year, I still wasn't able to shift as much weight as I would have liked on my stomach area. So I am now also thinking about having that done on the same day!! Although it is about another £3.3k.
So costs for my chest only are approx. £4.4k, and with abs/flanks too £7.7k. I've paid £1k deposit to secure my surgery date in just 3 weeks (rather quick I thought - but I did bang on about needing it done asap as I have a holiday at the end of Aug), and I need to decide by early next week if I want to have both procedures done. I think I will, so this is all sorted once and for all. Yes I could probably starve myself to get super skinny in the stomach region but I honestly think I am just genetically prone to carry weight there. Add to that the fact I am diabetic and one of the symptoms for males is to carry a bit more weight there.
So glad that this is all going to happen so quickly
One slightly embarrassing moment was when he asked me who did my last surgery years ago and I said "oh some greek guy at the Wellbeck hospital" and then he said his name... I hope they are not friends as I had basically been talking (politely of course) about how unhappy I was with his work!!
