Introduction
My name is Angela Chouaib. In 2009 I was in the same position as you probably are now trawling the internet, leafing through piles of medical marketing literature and altogether overwhelmed by the options available to a woman considering cosmetic surgery. Surely there was an easier way? I remember asking myself. My frustration was compounded by more than just the search for a perfect plastic surgeon. Having shed ten stone through weight-loss surgery, I now had to face the long wait until Id ascended the NHS waiting list. The length of time I would have to wait would be two years. I needed an alternative solution. There were so many factors that I had to take into consideration in making a decision, from the cost of the procedure to the safety, skill and reputation of the surgeon. Finally, my seemingly endless search bore fruit. Id found my dream hospital and surgeon. The fact that it was in Poland didnt concern me so long as the treatment I received was top-class. In April 2010 I flew from the UK, to have my long awaited tummy tuck. Any previous reservations I had were unfounded not only was the customer care exemplary, but the treatment exceeded all my expectations! I returned a short time later for a breast reduction and uplift. When I returned home from my second procedure, I couldnt help but feel the hospital and surgeon deserved more recognition. Back in the UK people were paying exorbitant rates for treatments they could receive in Poland for a fraction of the fees, and with the same level of expertise, safety, and professionalism as was offered in the UK. My life changing and positive experience of elective cosmetic surgery in Poland was to be the proud banner I would wave for other women researching safe, overseas cosmetic surgery options, after all I learnt in the process of my extensive research that choice is something we should be entitled to as long as it is always a safe well informed one. I spoke about my experience very positively in many forums, groups, and mediums; I soon became an information point for other women considering their options, by speaking truthfully I removed the stigma associated with overseas cosmetic surgery, and dispelled the myths that circulated in the press and media. It was at this time with great passion, enthusiasm and belief, and as a result of my own journey of transformation that Secret Surgery Ltd was born. Since the beginning of my venture, I have created strong links with surgeons the length and breadth of Europe. I have set up support groups here in the UK to allow people to meet face to face or online to discuss concerns, I have sourced fully qualified practitioners at the forefront of their profession, and accommodated the needs of clients looking for the right procedure and surgeon to achieve their personal objectives just as I was looking for, several years ago. At the core of my objectives is the desire to help other people achieve an equally positive safe experience of cosmetic surgery. At Secret Surgery, we do our utmost to ensure youve made the right choice for your mind and body You matter to us. We are a personal business, and the business is personal.

Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction Surgery is a procedure for surgically reshaping exceptionally large breasts to increase comfort and satisfaction. Large breasts can dominate a woman's appearance and give an unbalanced physical profile. At Secret Surgery Ltd, we understand how overly large breasts frequently have a considerable impact on a womans self -confidence. For numerous women, its not just the aesthetic issues they want to address in considering a Surgical Breast Reduction, for many it is also about feeling physically better, as many women experience problems associated with overly large breasts such as back pain, neck pain, and skin irritations to even more serious issues like skeletal deformations and breathing problems. One of the most common problems comes from the bra straps. They're pushed to the limit and that means often enough painful indents in your skin. All of these lead to being self-conscious about your body. The aim of surgery is to give you smaller, shapelier breasts that are in proportion to the rest of your body, which is the objective of most women seeking this procedure. The medical term for this procedure is Reduction Mammoplasty. The parts of the body that can be removed are the skin, fat and glandular tissues which makes the breast smaller and lighter. You would be amazed at how little weight needs to come off to feel a big difference. Not only are the breasts smaller but the darker skin around the nipples is reduced as well in most cases. Some Breast Reduction procedures are carried out in tandem with a breast lift procedure, a Breast Reduction and Lift is an ideal choice for women who wish to improve the shape and the position of their breasts.

Secret Surgery Ltd, Green Lane Isle of Grain, Rochester, Kent, UK - ME3 0DQ Email: Info@secretsurgery.co.uk, Tel: 0843 289 4 982 Company Registered No: 7437618

Am I a candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery? The best candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery are well-adjusted women who understand the purpose of the procedure. Patients with any combination of these conditions or symptoms may be good candidates for breast reduction surgery with our skilled cosmetic surgeons in Poland. Women that have pendulous sagging breasts (often signifies more glandular tissue than fat) Women who are thin (thin women tend to have more glandular tissue than fat) Women that have excessively large breasts Women that have excessively dense breast tissue (often signifies more glandular tissue than fat) Women before menopause (during menopause fat replaces glandular tissue) In most cases, Breast Reduction Surgery cannot be done until the breasts are fully grown, usually by age 18. A woman who intends to breast-feed a baby probably should not have the procedure. It's preferable to delay the procedure until she has had all her children. Women whose breasts are sagging but not too large might receive more benefit from a Breast Lift, also known as Mastopexy.

You are at increased risk for complications if you have diabetes, poor circulation, heart, lung or liver disease, smoke, have a family history of blood clots, take certain medications, etc. We recommend that you should discuss your medical history thoroughly with your Doctor before you choose to undergo surgery, he/she will inform you if in his/her opinion as a medical professional whether you are a good candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery or not. Preparing for Breast Reduction Surgery At Secret Surgery Ltd, preparation is a fundamental part our patient pathway. We strive to ensure that your health and well being needs are met throughout your experience with our dedicated team of professionals. Prior to surgery you may be asked by our qualified medical staff to: Get a lab testing or medical evaluation if needed Take certain medications or adjust you current medications Get a baseline mammogram before surgery another and perhaps one after surgery to help detect any future changes in your breast tissue Stop smoking well in advance of surgery Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and herbal supplements as they may increase bleeding In addition, you will be asked to sign consent forms to assure your cosmetic surgeon that you fully understand the procedure that you will undergo and any potential risks, complications and side effects associated with Breast Reduction Surgery.

You will also receive special instructions prior to surgery which include: What to do on the day of your Breast Reduction Surgery and Post-operative care and follow-up instructions Breast Reduction Surgery Procedure Steps A Breast Reduction operation is a highly individualised procedure achieved through a variety of incision patterns and techniques. The appropriate technique for your individual case will be determined on your breast size and shape, the size and the position of your areola, and your skin quality and skin elasticity. These options will be discussed fully with you with your Cosmetic Surgeon in Poland. Please watch this video animation to explain what happens during a typical Breast Reduction Procedure:

After Care in the UK

Surgery abroad sounds great: you get to swan off to a sunny, exotic country, pay minimal prices for top quality surgeons, and return to the UK with a brand new body and bags of confidence to go with it. What could be bad about that? What a lot of people forget is that aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself; if you come home and develop a complication, only to realise that the surgeon who performed your surgery is hundreds of miles away what are you going to do? A lot of so-called high-quality clinics dont bother to make sure youre covered for aftercare, so its important to make sure you opt for a surgery that does. While, obviously, the best outcome is one which doesnt involve any unexpected aftercare all procedures come with some level of risk, and its always important to be covered for every eventuality. At Secret Surgery, we know how crucial aftercare is; and thats why we have a network of nurses that can arrange a home visit or appointment in their clinic if you need assistance. This is arranged on a pay-as-you-go basis. Secret Surgery works with only the best Clinics in the UK to offer a comprehensive aftercare package as well as supplying other additional complementary treatments. says Angela Chouaib, MD and founder of Secret Surgery Ltd. She also warns of amendments made to the NHS regulations: You need to be aware that there has been a change in the NHS, which means that if you have an elective surgical procedure privately than you must have full aftercare relating to this procedure privately too.

Surgery Finance
Are you choosing the right clinic? Have you considered all the options? Can you afford it? This last question is, undoubtedly, one that troubles many patients. Yes, many surgical procedures are available on the NHS gastric bands and breast reductions are just two of them but theyre only available to those deemed suitable candidates. Because of this, many of us are unable to remedy these hang-ups; we cannot achieve something weve dreamed of achieving for years. For those of us who dont comply with the NHS criteria, theres no other option than contacting a private clinic. Of course, private surgery in the UK is more expensive than anywhere else in the world. Costs can be substantial, even for the most common procedures. Thats why many patients consider travelling to clinics abroad they want the very best cosmetic surgery, without having to take out a bank loan. But surgery is never cheap if it is, youre putting yourself in danger. So why is cosmetic surgery so expensive? Because youre temporarily putting your appearance, health and happiness in another persons hands. Here at Secret Surgery, we understand that the cost of surgery can be crippling. For many of our patients, coughing up a lump sum is not feasible. Thats why were delighted to announce our partnership with Money Solutions UK, who can now arrange finance for the cost of your surgery. This eases the worry of not being able to pay for a procedure, which is the last thing you need to think about when youre trying to recover. We put our customers needs before everything else, which is why were pleased to be able to take the stress of out of financing your chosen procedure. You neednt resign yourself to feeling like surgery is not an affordable option, though you never put yourself in a dangerous financial situation either. If youre weighing up the cost of cosmetic surgery, feel free to contact us well help find a solution.
