I really valued Mr Mattine’s honest professional opinion because it would have been easy for him just to have gone ahead with my choice of injectables, at best, a temporary solution and upon which I would have wasted a great deal of money over time. Nevertheless, it took me quite a while to make up my mind to proceed to surgery. In all that time Mr Mattine was extremely patient and helpful, answering all my questions, addressing my concerns and thoroughly explaining the options to me in terms of the procedure itself and the recovery process.
After I had the initial lower facial procedures, I realised that the overall effect would be better if I had upper facial surgery to compliment this. All procedures went extremely well. I must admit I was very nervous about them, never previously having had a general anaesthetic or any surgery. However, Mr Mattine is really reassuring and inspires complete confidence. I never doubted he was the best person to perform this work for me. Additionally, the treatment and care I received from all at the hospital (BMI Priory Birmingham) was also first rate on both occasions.
I probably could have gone back to work after two weeks but I erred on the side of caution as I didn’t really want everyone knowing about the procedure and wanted to appear as normal as possible on my return. Admittedly, there was a little pain and discomfort in the first few days, but this was easily managed with painkillers and by taking things easy.
It is probably the best investment I have ever made. My face is totally transformed, yet the beauty of Mr Mattine’s work is that the effect is so natural. Obviously, people noticed a difference, but most could not pin it down and just remarked on how well I looked. I am so delighted, and I am moving forward in my life with renewed confidence. Mr Mattine has been utterly fantastic throughout the process; I cannot thank him enough!
