Ms.N.E (early 50's, Japanese, very slim)
- What made you decide to have an operation at Cellport Clinic Yokohama?
-
After seeing the homepage of the clinic.
- How did you feel before having the procedure, or on the day you had the procedure?
-
The explanation provided until deciding on getting the operation was very full and considerate. I faced the operation without any worries, leaving everything up to the doctor.
- Tell us about changes made in your body and feelings after having the procedure.
-
Before the operation, I was too much absorbed in trying to gain weight as much as possible (because I did not have much), and I had no anxiety whatsoever concerning the operation itself. Even regarding the post-operative circumstances, since so many patients have already taken this procedure, I wasn't worried more than it was necessary.
However, area near the bone below right breast where the fat was injected hurt extremely after the operation. The pain was so great beyond imagination that I was unable to move the body. The thighs had no pain at all, which I thought was fortunate, but while the pain in the breast softened gradually, the symptoms of thighs like swelling, internal bleeding, and the discomfort felt on touch grew stronger, and I couldn't help thinking that going through an operation, no matter what kind, means placing great burden on the body.
It has been 2 months, and the thighs are getting better, but there are still partially uncomfortable area left. I think these will fade with time, and I am keeping my eye on them.
I am very satisfied the funnel chest was well covered with the lipo-injection. To my disappointment, the fat in right breast didn't survive well, and it became rather small compared to immediately after the operation. But I was already explained regarding the individuality of the survival rate and that nothing can be said for certain without actual treatment. I faced the operation with a mind to embrace any kind of result and it was conceivable. Especially in my case, I had very small amount of fat that could be gathered, so you could say the result was even better than one could hope for.
In any case, I am satisfied that unlike before, the stiff look I had has disappeared. I will try not to lose weight so that the effort the doctor and the staffs has put into me does not go to waste.
Nurse's Comments
After the operation, there are patients who feel strong pain. In such case, the pain can be softened by drip infusion or other methods, so we recommend one night of hospitalization on the day of the operation. During your hospitalization, if you feel difficulty in moving your body, please don't hesitate to call our nurse.
- What did you think about the atmosphere of the clinic?
-
I was impressed with their consideration in the appointment hours so that the patients do not meet each other or division of the waiting room by screen. The room was decorated with quiet, unobtrusive furniture, and I was able to rest relaxed.
- How were the attitudes of the doctors and staff?
-
I could see them trying their best to help me feel relaxed as much as possible, and I was grateful for their effort.
- Please give some advice to people who plan to have the same procedures or those who hesitate to have an operation.
-
There must be many reasons and circumstances of each and every person in deciding to take the operation, but if the decision is made after listening to the explanation thoroughly and being fully convinced, then I believe that one can face the operation without too much expectation and unnecessary worries.
