What worried me most was the recovery process and how I would feel after the operation. But actually, I feel better than I expected. The surgeon inspired a great deal of confidence right from the start: he showed me which part of my stomach would be removed and explained realistic expectations regarding weight loss, which was very important to me. I was particularly touched that he came to see me in person after the procedure. The operation itself was laparoscopic, and I only spent two nights in the clinic. Even after I was discharged, the team haven’t been out of touch — they’re always available if I have any questions.

My main concern was the period following the operation, and I have to admit it wasn’t easy. The hardest part for me was having trouble eating. The swelling around my jaw is still noticeable, and I feel a lot of stiffness and tension in my neck when I turn my head. But despite these temporary discomforts, I can already see a noticeable improvement in the jowls, which gives me great hope. The surgeon used the extended SMAS lift technique. The whole team did a brilliant job. I would recommend this clinic.
