Ms.Q.U (early 30's, Japanese, tall, lump removed)
- What made you decide to have an operation at Cellport Clinic Yokohama?
-
When I read the [treatment procedures] and the [role of stem cells] column on the web site, I found out that it was written very courteously, and easily understandable. From this, I was able to have confidence in the clinic.
The operation hours seemed longer compared to other plastic surgeries, but after reading the treatment procedures, I was convinced. After understanding about the procedure, I felt that I could expect the transplanted fat to survive, and decided to take the operation.
- How did you feel before having the procedure, or on the day you had the procedure?
-
When I had breast augmentation from another clinic, I had to endure the agonizing pain from many anesthetic shots for local anesthesia.
Nurse's Comments
It was my first experience with general anesthesia, and my only concern was about the pain that I would have before the effect of anesthesia start to take in.
The lack of explanation on the general anesthesia may have given you anxiety, but at our clinic, the only treatment we will perform before the anesthesia is the insertion of needle for drip infusion. That may produce a little pain, but every other treatment will be performed after you are asleep from the general anesthesia. There will be hardly any pain, so please don't be worried.
- Tell us about changes made in your body and feelings after having the procedure.
-
The liposuctioned area is still very hard, and there is a feeling of tightness left. There is no change in the size. It looks like the internal bleeding, swelling, and the hardened area are getting better with the time.
Counselor's Comments
The lipoinjection area is changing definitely, and I am very satisfied with the survival rate of the fat.
The breasts became soft in about a week after the transplantation, and I think I adapted very quickly. I am very much glad that I had the operation.
The result in the area where the lump was removed looks a lot better than what I had expected, and I thank the doctor for this.
The healing on the liposuctioned area has individual differences, but the skin will even out with the time, so please relax. The post-operative examination is free of charge, so don't hesitate to talk to our staffs concerning that matter.
- What did you think about the atmosphere of the clinic?
-
It was very different from what one would expect in a clinic, and I was very comfortable.
- How were the attitudes of the doctors and staff?
-
The gentle and efficient correspondence of the receptionists, doctor, and nurses make it pleasurable to visit the clinic. Thank you so much for your kind attention.
- Please give some advice to people who plan to have the same procedures or those who hesitate to have an operation.
-
The operation fee is indeed very high, but the result and the relief I got was more than what I had paid for, and I am truly glad that I had taken it. The fear I had about the pain during and after the operation became very thin after the actual operation, and it is almost funny to think that I was anxious about it at all. The doctors and the members of the staffs are that much dependable, so please bring yourself over to the clinic, and talk to them about your worries and concerns.
