Please see the testimonials tab above to see comments from some of Elena’s delighted patients.

Elena will have two in-depth consultations with you before your implant removal surgery. She always makes sure that her patients have all the information they need about the procedure and that she understands their expectations. She will carefully examine your breast to assess the condition of the implants to be removed and advise you if there are any issues that could make surgery complicated. Elena and her team will also take a complete health history from you and conduct a health assessment to ensure that you are fit and healthy enough to undergo the procedure. You will be asked to refrain from eating for six hours before surgery on the day of your procedure. When you come to the clinic, you will be introduced to your anaesthetist, who will discuss the type of anaesthetic to be used. There is no need to feel anxious before surgery as you are in expert hands, but we understand that some patients are nervous, and we can give you medication to make you feel calmer if you would like.

It is normal to feel stiff and sore for a few days after surgery. Painkillers are available if required. It is essential to rest for a few days after surgery to allow your body to heal, and it would be beneficial to schedule time off work. Elena will tell you when you can resume your normal activities at your follow-up appointment after one month.

The period after your surgery is crucial to your recovery, and the team will ensure that you know exactly how to care for your breasts before you leave the clinic. Any medications, pain killers, or antibiotics to avoid infection will be provided with clear instructions on their use. You will be invited to follow-up appointments for up to a year after surgery to check your progress.

All surgical procedures carry the risk of bleeding, infection, bruising, and scarring. However, in Ms Prousskaia’s expert hands and with the clinic’s excellent aftercare, these risks are much reduced.

There will be some discomfort as there is after all surgical procedures. However, most of our patients find that their pain is well managed by pain killers.

Some women choose to have their original implants removed and new implants inserted simultaneously. Elena only uses the highest quality implants that will not cause the problems encountered with inferior products. Decisions about other cosmetic procedures can be discussed thoroughly with Elena during your initial consultations when she can advise you on achieving the appearance that will make you happy.
