A friend’s recommendation and trust in one of our expert consultant surgeons gave Dhibee the courage to go ahead with a life-changing mummy makeover after cancelling surgery with other plastic surgeons over her fear of a general anaesthetic.

Dhibee had been contemplating surgery for six years because she was desperately unhappy with the loose skin on her tummy following two pregnancies and a 10kg weight gain.

She recalls: “The skin was just there, hanging. It became more prominent, and I couldn’t wear tight clothing anymore. I wanted to bring back my confidence and self-esteem with a mummy makeover.”

Although Dhibee lost some of her fears of general anaesthetic after keyhole surgery to remove her gall bladder in 2019, she remained anxious.

Our surgeon gave Dhibee the confidence to proceed with a mummy makeover

Dhibee finally overcame her anxiety and got the result she wanted after a friend’s experience with Mr Jallali convinced her to go ahead with the surgery because it would be a life changing experience.

“She had had an amazing result. She was very confident in her surgeon and told me to spend and invest in my body because you’re wearing it every day,” says Dhibee.

Dhibee’s consultation gave her further confidence to say yes, and her friend stayed with her throughout the preparation, even up to the day of surgery.

Reassurance and trust help Dhibee relax on the day

Our surgeon and the hospital team made Dhibee comfortable and calmed her fears when her anxiety returned.

Dhibee says: “They kept assuring me that it will be a safe surgery and there’s nothing to worry about. They kept coming to my room to check on me before the surgery. The doctor who took my blood sample was such an expert; I didn’t even feel a bit of sting.”

Dhibee was almost pain free after her mummy makeover. She managed with just co-codamol and ibuprofen during her recovery. “I could say my keyhole surgery was 10x more painful than this surgery.”.

Finding Mr Jallali was a “blessing in disguise”

Five weeks after her surgery, Dhibee is delighted with the result, and her confidence has skyrocketed. She can now wear “anything and everything without disappointment” and plans to return to the gym as her mummy makeover has inspired her to become healthier.

Dhibee says: “I feel like I am back to my old self when I was in my 20s.

“I believe it was a blessing in disguise that I had to cancel my previous surgeries because I found the perfect surgeon who really can deliver. I will recommend Mr Jallali to all my friends and family and am now planning to undergo my second surgery with him.”
