Facelift in Pakistan

In March 2006 Alison had a facelift at a leading private hospital near Birmingham, done by a very experienced surgeon who had been there many years.  She thought, therefore, that the outcome would be excellent.  As it transpired, this was far from the case.

 

A few months later she looked as though she had never had a facelift at all and she felt her money had been totally wasted. Not only that but she had suffered massive swelling and a horrendous wound infection, contracted at the hospital, which exuded puss for weeks.

 

Alison consulted half-a-dozen other surgeons, who were either reluctant to re-do another surgeon’s work, or said she would to wait between 18 months to seven years after the first operation. They all told her that they were limited as to what they could do.

 

Becoming more and more determined in spite of all these setbacks she finally came upon Euromedical Tours whilst surfing the web and arranged an appointment in London with Dr Tarar, a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons whois registered with the GMC.  As soon as she was sat down before him and he looked into my face my spirits lifted.

 

He said he could address the neck problem by performing a platysmaplasty, that he could lift the cheeks diagonally, whereas previously the skin had only been pulled in a horizontal direction, and this with the minimum of skin excision, undermining and resultant swelling, and also said there was certainly sufficient skin to carry out an upper eyelid lift.  Not only did he say he could do all this, and, what’s more, straight away, but he also suggested other things such as autologous fat transfer to fill in her hollow sunken cheeks left by the earlier operation and lifting of the outer corners of my eyes which had been pulled down by the previous surgeon.  The cherry on the cake was his suggestion that he could give her a fuller upper lip using her own skin harvested from her facelift, to take out the vertical lines which were beginning to appear, and, as he said “give you somewhere to apply your  lipstick”! 

 

The only aspect that concerned her was the fact she would have to travel to Pakistan… but she needn’t have worried one jot.  After her consultation she saw Zahid who told her he would make all the arrangements;  visa, air tickets, hotel accommodation- everything in fact. 

 

When the time came for her surgery,  she  was apprehensive, thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong, but once more she was mistaken to be overcome by nerves.  Everything went smoothly and in no time at all I was back in her room, constantly attended by pleasant, smart and efficient nurses.

 

Her flight home was just as smooth as the outward bound one and as the days went by after her return she could see her new facelift was a tremendous improvement on the first one.  On removing the bandage she was thrilled to see she looked a good 20 years younger, in spite of the fact that her lip was still very swollen from the implant.

 

Alison said: "I have no hesitation in recommending Euromedical Tours and Dr Tarar to anyone contemplating cosmetic surgery, also Pakistan and its people have left and indelible impression of beauty and friendliness which I shall never forget."
