Why did you need to see a specialist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 5 years ago I had a gastric bypass. I was morbidly obese and I had a number of health problems. A year after my surgery I was left with a lot of sagging skin on the upper body, arms and thighs. This affected me psychologically, emotionally and physically. I looked in the mirror and all I could see was an overweight person with extremely sagging skin; but not as a person who had lost over 38 kilos. I eventually spoke to my GP who made an application for funding to my area health authority, to support me in having a total body lift. This was rejected more than once. This left me devastated for a number of years. However, in 2018 I contacted my GP again, asking him of the name of a plastic surgeon who could firstly do an upper arm lift (Brachioplasty). The loose skin on both of my arm was grotesque. The sagging skin looked like a large wing.  My GP emailed the name of a surgeon, Mr Ioannis Goutos, and a website where I could request a consultation and read information about him and other specialist plastic surgeons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking for a specialist, what was most important\nto you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specialist\ntrack record and experience. How many years and successes he\/she has had in\ncarrying out this type of operation.  How\nmany years being a doctor. Where the specialist had worked before. What\nhospital he\/she is been affiliated with.  Check patience reviews and testimonials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What qualities were you hoping to find in the\nspecialist who treated you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was looking for a specialist who had a good sound experience. Someone who was compassionate, and someone who was genuine and understood not just my physical appearance but also how the problem I had affected me. Also, a specialist who could do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was your experience of seeing the specialist who\ntreated you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an\nexcellent experience with Mr Ioannis Goutos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before my\nconsultation I was extremely nervous and worried and felt no matter how good a surgeon,\nno one could help me. However, I had the most amazing consultation. Mr Goutos\ntook time to listen to me and why I was seeking to have surgery; how it was\naffecting me both emotionally and physically and about all my health problems.\nHe took great care to explain about the procedure showing before and after\npictures of patients he had done surgery on. Mr Goutos showed compassion and\npatience. He answered all my questions. He certainly put me at ease and I was\nable to open up to him fully. Mr Goutos was caring and I felt he genuinely\nunderstood everything that was concerning me and why I was feeling very unhappy\nwith my body – in particular with my bat-wing arms.  To be honest he was the first consultant who I\never felt so comfortable with. He is truly an amazing professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following my\nmeeting with Mr Goutos, he followed up by emailing me the consultation notes.\nThere was no pressure to make a decision of whether I wanted to proceed with\nhim or the surgery and he gave the clearance to contact him at any time if I\nhad any further questions or needed to clarify anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I decided\nto proceed with surgery, Mr Goutos copied me into all correspondence he had\nwith my GP and my renal doctor.  Again, I\ncould contact Mr Goutos at any time with queries I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After deciding\nto have the surgery, Mr Goutos kept in contact with me on a regular basis. My\npre-operative care was excellent <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The care shown by\nMr Goutos and his team on the day of the surgery was excellent. Once I was\nawake, Mr Goutos took the time to explain how the surgery went. It was so nice\nto see Mr Goutos\u2019 smiling face of reassurance. Mr Goutos remained at the\nhospital until he was fully satisfied with my recovery, also giving me the\nopportunity to ask any questions or let him know if I had any concerns. His\nbedside manner and those of his team were impeccable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-op service\/treatment\nwas excellent and continue to be so. Receiving regular texts from Mr Goutos as\nwell as emails alongside my post appointments made me feel that he genuinely cared\nabout me and my recovery; thus, reaffirming his support and dedication to me\nand others every step of the recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you say was his\/her greatest quality?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His experience; his professionalism; knowledge; the technique used; his compassion; his caring nature; his respect of others; his personality and approachability and his ability to put his patients at ease. His exceptional qualities and humanity, both as a doctor and specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you so\nmuch Mr Goutos <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you recommend him\/her to a friend or family\nmember? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most\ndefinitely. Best specialist ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
