Well-being before surgery

"When my consultant asked if I’d considered having a few sessions with the counsellor alongside my procedure, I was actually really keen. Mental health is so important, it felt like a good thing for me to do. We talked about my expectations of having the breast augmentation and it helped me realise that whilst it would improve for me the way I felt about myself, I also needed to work on other issues within me to work out issues in my relationship. It’s been so helpful. Thank you."

"I’ve always hated my protruding ears, and had spent ages researching Ottoplasty online but never dared have an actual consultation with a surgeon. It sounds a bit foolish, but I was worried that I might upset my family by having the surgery, as my Father and my sisters all have the same protruding ears as me. Having the chance to discuss all of this with Amber helped me get a perspective and also helped me get the confidence to tell my family what I wanted to do. As it turned out, I need not have been so worried about their reactions. I’d imagined hurting them, but in actual fact, they were just happy for me. I did go ahead and have my procedure and now I can wear my hair up with confidence whenever I like – therapy also taught me a lot about myself in the process. I’m super happy with the outcome."
