I don't think that there's ever been a time that I can remember that I was truly happy with how my eyes looked. To me it always felt that I had a couple of shopping bags hanging from my face! As time marched on, so did the bags and no amount of makeup would diminish their appearance, indeed it often made it worse. After years of procrastination, lots of research and saving, I made an appointment at the Ezra Clinic in February 2025. I was extremely nervous, not knowing what to expect, and feeling very out of my comfort zone.
From the very first contact with Aly in the Appointments Team, through to my initial appointment with Dr Adam Bull, I was made to feel very welcome. Dr Bull was extremely kind, listened to my concerns and explained what he thought would be the best course of action. I was also lucky enough to have Mr Ezra's input too, so felt very fortunate indeed to have such experienced surgeons looking after me.
After a second consultation I decided to go ahead with the surgery and a date was fixed for April. On the day of the surgery Dr Bull and the team were very reassuring and I have to say, I really did not feel a thing. I could remember voices and music, but other than that, I was in blissful peace during the operation. Thank you to Dr Ravel, the consultant anaesthetist, who looked after me so well.
Afterwards, somewhat battered and bruised, but feeling no pain whatsoever, I returned home to recuperate. Over the next few days my face continued to swell, and there was some extensive bruising (but I tend to bruise easily) but by the end of the first week, it had pretty much disappeared. I know that some patients have said that the stitches were itchy and uncomfortable, I did not find this to be the case at all. I would also like to add that in the days immediately after the operation I did not suffer from any pain at all, in fact, I didn't even need to take paracetamol. Nurse Jo called to check in on me and provided me with excellent after care and was on call at any time if I needed her advice.
I'm now six months post op and can honestly say I wish I had not waited so long to get it done. I feel so much more confident about myself, I don't hate looking in the mirror any more and my eyes now sparkle and I look and feel happy! My scars have healed amazingly well and you cannot tell I've had anything done which is great. Indeed, I went back to work two weeks after the surgery and my boss commented on how well I looked, she couldn't put her finger on what it was, just that I looked well. I couldn't have been more delighted with that, and she still doesn't know...I'll say no more!
I want to say a massive thank you to Dr Bull and everyone at the Ezra Clinic. I cannot recommend the team highly enough and if you are seriously considering having this surgery done then I would not hesitate in recommending them to you.
