I contacted serene many times and followed them on social media platforms for years before deciding to go ahead with my procedure. Megan from serene has been amazing from start to finish. I flew out on the 15th January for my operation on the 16th January. Myself and my husband were collected from the airport and taken to the lovely hotel, had some tea and had an early night due to my early pick up of 6am to be taken to the hospital. There I met with Yagmur (Cygnus coordinator) my surgeon Dr Omar Farouk and his assistant we discussed my wants and needs, I had pictures to show of the outcome I was hoping for, everything was really through. The hospital was very clean and welcoming. Before long I was taken into surgery. When I woke up after a 6 hour surgery (breast uplift with implants, 360 Lipo and tummy tuck) I felt safe and calm. Pain wise I would say (4/10) would be a maximum! If I’m honest it was more that I couldn’t get comfortable enough than pain. The staff came every 2 hours and made sure I was up and walking around as this helps you recovery. 2 hours after surgery i was walking up and down the corridors. The staff in the hospital are brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights before returning to the hotel. Megan checked in with me throughout and made sure I had everything I needed. The nurse came to the hotel cleaned my incisions and changed dressings. She was lovely! I can’t remember her name but she gave me a lymphatic massage which changed the game! I then could stand upright, get comfortable and sleep well. I’d highly recommend! Although I didn’t realise there was a cost for this, so do keep that in mind. It is highly beneficial and really is worth getting atleast one.The hotel we stayed in was next to a shopping mall which had variety of different foot places in and so cheap! McDonald’s, wraps, pizzas everything you can think of. By day 4 I was walking around the shopping centre. The more you walk the better you will feel and the quicker you will recover. On day 6 I was picked up and taken for my check up with the surgeon who was happy with my progress and I was given a fit to fly form (although the staff at the air port never asked for it 🙈) I flew home on day 8 and felt confident and ready for the flight. Beforehand I was nervous thinking I’d feel pressure once in the air. However I didn’t feel any pressure and everything ran smoothly! I’m now over 3 weeks post surgery and I’m so happy with my results! I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend serene to friends and family. Without a doubt. Tips : take a dressing gown (with drains it’s hard to get dressed)I took a small maternity pillow, amazing for keeping you elevated and stopping you from trying to turn over. I also took this on the plane to help with comfort. Take an iPad with Netflix, the tv in the hotel doesn’t have any English channelsTake additional gauze swabs for use in the hotel if and when requiredTake puppy training pads for the hotel, I used them to sit on in case of a drain leakLots of deodorant and dry shampoo - I wasn’t allowed a shower until day 7 post surgeryHave silicon scar tape & ScarEX ready for when you get home. I wasn’t allowed to use them until day 14 however the Cygnus coordinator do try and sell these to you at the hospital at a very high price. I did buy them there without knowing. It’s much cheaper to buy in the UK.Get a spare compression garment, for when you shower
