Ms. A.W (in her early 50's, Japanese, standard proportion )
- What made you decide to have an operation at Cellport Clinic Yokohama?
-
I first found about Cellport Clinic Yokohama from the [breast reconstruction] column on the internet. When I saw the movie provided on the site, the result of the breast reconstruction looked very natural. Because I had seen the breast augmentation using artificial implant of my friend, it was something that I could think of as, "This is it!"
- How did you feel before having the procedure, or on the day you had the procedure?
-
With the explanation given before the operation, I was not worried about the operation itself. But I was concerned with how the pain would be afterwards, because I heard that there are individual differences, and I happened to be weak to pain.
On the day, the operation went safely without any problem. After the operation, I had a light fever, which made me feel languidness, and I had the urinary tube removed rather early because it was painful, which resulted in frequent usage of temporary toilet. I was thankful for the nurses attending me whole-heartedly every time despite I had made very many nurse calls.
By the time of discharge form the hospital, the fever and languidness had disappeared. Other than difficulty in moving from the pain in the abdomen and legs, I was relieved that my condition had completely recovered.
- Tell us about changes made in your body and feelings after having the procedure.
-
The pain after the operation which I had been worried about, there was none in the breasts, which was relieving. But the abdomen and legs where liposuction had been performed, had strong muscle pain (exactly what I was told about), and it hurt just to move for about 3 days from the operation.
But even that pain recovered day by day, and the stiffness gradually softened.It has been about 2 months from the operation. The breasts are fairly large compared to that of before the operation, which is satisfying. Before the operation, whenever I saw the deformed breast from the conservation surgery reflected on the mirror, I tried to think "There is nothing I can do". Now, I am very pleased, truly feeling lucky about receiving the operation.
I am so happy that I can now go to Japanese hot springs and have fun. Thank you very much.
- What did you think about the atmosphere of the clinic?
-
I was able to feel the luxuriousness, cleanliness, and stable reliability.
- How were the attitudes of the doctors and staff?
-
Starting with the doctor, every staff is kind, friendly, and thoroughly considerate, and their attendance is very pleasant.
- Please give some advice to people who plan to have the same procedures or those who hesitate to have an operation.
-
I was able to confirm that the reconstruction method using one's own fat and stem cells other than using implants will be the epoch-making method that will clear away the worries after the breast cancer surgery.
I am so happy that the worries I had for the past 10 years disappeared with just one operation. I will not stop hoping more people who are worried like I was find out about this operation method.
