Real stories

My name is Monica Lopez. In september of 2004 I had private surgery to the nose. I was advised that in two months the recovery should be complete.I then went back after two months with the facial area very swollen. I was told it could take up to six months and later on I was told it could be up to a year. As a result of this surgery I cannot breath properly through the nostrils, my face is still swollen, I've got strange headache that I've never had before, and the nose job is bad done.

My name is Abbie, I'm 22 and I made the biggest mistake of my life. I had liposuction when I didn't really need it. Ever since I turned eight I had problems with my weight. I was constantly on a diet. At my 19th birthday I decided to have liposuction.

I have had very strong hair in unwanted places on my legs and on the bikini zone. At age of 13 I started to shave my legs. As the years went by, I got more dark hair on my bikini zone, they were so dark and so strong, I felt so desperate and helpless to change anything – it was a disaster!!! They were so dark that’s why they were seen – I have forgotten about sunbathing and spending time by the sea. I felt ashamed about all the times I forgot to take care of the hair. I was afraid that someone would notice my problem. At age of 15 I went to the family doctor and asked to do a research, to find out what is going on with my organism. It took me a week to do all the tests – doctor told me that I had too much male hormones and added that it is heritable. At that time I was emotionally unstable. I even felt in depression...Somehow I face the problem of mine and understood that I had one choice - to eliminate those awful hair by using common techniques.

I am 21 years old. I had a rhinoplasty several eight months ago. My doctor, whom I choose, has been doing plastic surgery for over 12 years. He was rather popular amongst those people who have gone through plastic surgery. He had really good recommendations and that’s why I let him to perform my nose operation.

To begin with I had a knobble on my nose, a big one. Several months I was looking for proper profile, I looked through magazines, made a search on the internet looking for some pictures and finally I picked out the profile I wanted.

I am 25 years old. I had problems with and inner thighs till I decided to undergo the liposuction procedure. But...I will start to tell my story from the very beginning. When I was 16 years old I put on weight 15 kilogrammes. Telling the thruth I thought that being on a diet would help me to get rid of those unnecessary kilogrammes. As the matter of fact it really did, after the half a year my weight was 68 kilogrammes, I got rid of 11 kg.!!! But during the next year all my over weight came back, especially on my thighs. I tried to go in for sports, the menu of a day was really strong. But it helped me only for a while. You see I have some problems with my stomach.

I had my consultation on 25/06/05 and was recommended to have Ultra-Lasik Plus due to slight aberration in both eyes. I'm due to have my treatment on this Saturday, 23/07/05 at Leeds. At Present I'm feeling fine about everything and can't wait, but I'm sure come the day the nerves will rise. So fingers crossed for Saturday.
