Direct Consultation with Dr Rezai

Unlike with most plastic surgeons, and most definitely unlike when opting to have surgery though one of the large cosmetic surgery institutions, a first appointment at Dr Rezai’s consulting rooms is always directly with Dr Rezai himself, and not with a nurse/counsellor or co-ordinator.

The advantages of an initial consultation with Dr Rezai in person are obvious and include immediately knowing if you are a suitable candidate for surgery or otherwise, and if you are, then what are likely to be the results of your operation. Dr Rezai will address your expectations and also any worries and concerns you might have involving your surgery, including any potential complications and associations.

Unlimited After-Care

A further advantage of a direct consultation with Dr Rezai is the that as a personal patient, you will be entitled to an after-care and follow-up service which is effectively limited only by your needs and not by the financial concerns of a large and impersonal enterprise. In otherwords… total peace of mind both before and after surgery.

Consult Directly with Dr Rezai

It is an unfortunate circumstance, but if you were to seek surgery through one of the larger cosmetic surgery centres, then it is unlikely that you will meet with your surgeon until immediately before your operation. i.e. too late! Meeting up with a plastic surgeon before you actually decide to undergo surgery with him or her would obviously be the preferred route for many reasons.

Fortunately, when seeking an initial consultation at Dr Rezai’s consulting Rooms in Harley Street, your appointment will be with Dr Rezai himself, not with a counsellor or co-ordinator. At your first meeting with Dr Rezai you will be able to:

• Discuss your needs and wishes in absolute detail;
• Decide whether the operation you are considering is right for you;
• Learn from Dr Rezai what is achievable and, importantly, not achievable for you depending upon your precise circumstances. i.e. the likely outcome of your operation;
• Discuss any concerns you might have about your operation;
• View before and after photographs of previous patients of Dr Rezai who have undergone a similar procedure;
• Discuss the potential for any side-effects or complications related to your procedure;
• Learn how you will need to prepare for your operation and what will happen afterwards;
• Form an opinion as to whether Dr Rezai is the right surgeon for you (the importance of feeling comfortable with your surgeon should not be overlooked)

Never forget that choosing the right surgeon for your procedure is one of the most important decisions you will need to make… possibly in your life!

Many women are dissatisfied with the shape or pertness of their breasts. A significant number of women find their breasts change as they develop through the various stages of life. Often, their breasts would originally have been relatively firm or pert, but whether through significant weight loss, the after effects of a pregnancy, or the effects of gravity and age, the shape or pertness of the breast alters, leaving a droopy or a deflated appearance.

Understandably, this change can be disheartening. As a result of the dissatisfaction with the appearance of their breasts, many women request surgery to improve the overall pertness, firmness, and size and shape of their breasts.

Whilst not strictly an accurate example, a good way of understanding the problem is to imagine that a woman initially has a C-cup sized breast, over the years, perhaps after the birth of child, she still has a C–cup sized breast, but owing to the stretching of the skin, to accommodate milk and weight increase during pregnancy that C-cup breast now resides in E-cup sized pocket of skin (the skin has been stretched in effect).

From the outset, it is important to understand that it is not possible to re-create or repair the fibrous bands that originally held the breast in place (once they have been stretched). Like springs that have been over-stretched, once they have been pulled too far, they loose their ability to recoil. Consequently the only surgical option is to excise the excess skin. Breast Uplift, also known as Mastopexy, results in a breast that both looks more youthful and generally feels firmer.

How Is Breast Uplift Performed?

In principle, Breast Uplift consists of the following:

• Excising the surplus skin

• Remodelling the breast tissue into a more attractive shape

• Repositioning the nipple / areola complex to a higher level, so that the nipple lies at the point of the newly tightened breasts

• Reshaping or reducing in size the areola if necessary

Breast Uplift is performed under general anaesthetic and most patients stay in hospital for one night. There are various techniques used in specific situations. In almost all, the surgeon must first make an incision around the areola, so that it can be repositioned higher on the breast:

In certain circumstances, it may be possible to undertake Mastopexy utilising only an incision around the areola. This so called ‘doughnut’ Mastopexy is an option where the breast is fairly small and when the degree of sag is minimal.

In certain cases, sufficient skin may be removed by extending the incision vertically down from the areola (lollipop incision).

However, in other cases, the incision must also include a lateral extension across the crease below the breast (anchor incision).

The vast majority of women undergoing a Breast Uplift procedure find the results very satisfying, resulting in a real improvement in how their clothes fit, and how their breasts look even when they are undressed. Most women report a marked improvement in their self-confidence and their own feelings about the attractiveness of their body.

Wearing a good supporting bra will help to sustain the result, however, it is important to remember that the results of breast uplift will not last forever and ageing, pregnancy and weight fluctuation will eventually cause more laxness of the skin, resulting in the re-occurrence of some droopiness.
