" "I had the breast augmentation surgery and all I can say is "wow". I am over the moon with the results. From start to finish Mr A EL Gawad has been amazing. He provided lots of information at the initial consultation and asked me to think about it before deciding. As I booked the operation 6 weeks in advance he wanted to see me just before the appointment date to make sure I was happy to still go ahead and if I had any more questions. Before the appointment I was able to email him directly and he always responded promptly to any questions I had. On the day of my surgery he put me at ease. All the staff he worked with were so nice and made me feel relaxed even though they knew how nervous I was. The evening after the surgery he called me at home to check how I was doing. This is the 3rd time I have had plastic surgery and I can honestly say I have never had this level of service. I am so please with the results. I have had minimal pain since the operation. Although I am still swollen the results look amazing as they are in proportion. I know the implant he helped me pick is actually perfect for my frame. After doing a lot of research I can honestly say I never expected the results to be as good as they are. I am truly grateful to him for the fantastic job he has done. From start to finish the whole experience has been amazing. I would recommend Mr A EL Gawad to anyone. I have used other private hospitals for surgery and I am a nurse therefore I know the overall experience and levels of service has been outstanding.""
