Elena is a complete expert in her field. Having had plastic surgery (breast augmentation) with her a couple of years ago, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and they’ve healed perfectly and are more amazing than I ever could’ve imagined. I considered my surgeon very carefully and took over 6 months to decide, attending many different consultations and Elena was the best by far. I would recommend her to anyone.
I had a breast reduction and uplift in July 2022. I booked my consultation with Elena in November 2021 and upon meeting Elena I felt very comfortable and believed that she genuinely cared about my case and wanted to help me feel more confident about myself. I told Elena's team that I wanted to wait until Elena's Bristol Clinic opened up as I did not want to travel for my surgery. I was told the new facility would be opened in summer 2022 but then this was delayed until December 2022 so I ended up booking my surgery at The London Welbeck Hospital. My second consultation with Elena was surprisingly only a few weeks before my surgery. There was a mixup with my appointment and I had to wait over an hour before Elena could see me, it did seem to be a reoccurring theme that I was never invited into my appointment on time but I understand these things happen. Only 2 days before my surgery, Elena's team advised me that my GP hadn't responded to them regarding whether they had any concerns with my mental health. Because of this, Elena's team arranged for a call from an external company (at my expense - which thankfully I ended up not having to pay for) for them to ask me some questions and confirm I am mentally competent. This was extremely stressful for me as I was already dealing with pre-surgery nerves and I was confused as to why it was left so late. I was worried that my surgery was going to be cancelled. Surgery day.. Elena came into my room and reassured me, what I like most about Elena is how calming and confident she is, which put my mind at ease. Elena met with me before I was discharged. After I got home from my surgery I emailed and called Elena's team several times to ask general questions, voiced my concerns etc. and in the first 4 weeks or so they never made me feel like I was a burden and were always happy to help. I do believe Elena's team could benefit from a 24/7 number as they only work weekday office hours. There were some things I wanted to ask them that weren't necessary emergencies but that I didn't feel like would be right to wait for days for a response. At my first wound check up I was told that my Mum would need to change my dressings every 5 days. This was a complete surprise as I do not remember being told that this would need to happen. It made my Mum very nervous as she is not familiar with surgery wounds and didn't want to make a mistake or cause an issue. I do believe that this information would have been useful before I paid my deposit for surgery. I do think that Elena is an incredible surgeon who is very talented and compassionate. I cannot imagine anyone else being my surgeon and am very happy with my results thus far. I haven't had any openings or complications and I believe that's because Elena did an amazing job and I have followed her advice.
I had a benelli lift and implants with Elena in October 2020. After having three children I decided it was about time I did something for me. Elena was brilliant she was very informative, gave me realistic expectations while making sure I had everything I wanted out of surgery. The hospital was clean and the nurses were lovely. I honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Having new breasts has boosted my confidence so much, I’m so greatful.
I cannot emphasise enough how happy I am with the results after my breast reduction surgery with Elena. For about 3 years a breast reduction was something that I really wanted as I lacked confidence, didn't feel happy within myself and I was suffering with severe back and shoulder pain. Eventually when I plucked up the courage, my parents and I discussed it and arranged a consultation with Elena, from the minute I met her and saw her work I knew I trusted her, I felt reassured about the whole procedure. I had numerous meetings with Elena before the procedure and she made me feel really comfortable with everything as it was and still is my first ever operation. It is now just over two weeks on from my operation and I am so happy with the results, I finally feel confident and not only have i noticed it but all my family and friends have as well. It was the best decision I have ever made and I am so grateful for Elena and her team for making it happen and being so supportive along the way:) I would 1000% recommend Elena.
Firstly, I would like to say that I would highly recommend Elena to anyone considering a breast augmentation. Elena was the second plastic surgeon I had a consultation with for a breast enlargement operation. When i started looking for a surgeon to do my breast augmentation, like a lot of girls out there I did my research and found a surgeon whose work I liked on Instagram (working for a large reputable company), and had my first consultation with him, needless to say this did not go well. He immediately put me on edge and I came out of the consultation feeling entirely unsettled. Elena was recommended to me by a friend who had recently undergone surgery with her and from the moment I picked up the phone to book my first consultation with her the whole process was flawless. I had quite a difficult case with very little under boob but Elena managed to work her magic and gave me the size and look that I have always wanted even with this tricky starting point. Elena's skill left me with very little bruising and pain after my operation, just as she had explained during my consultations she is very careful and not rough during the operation which is hugely beneficial during patient recovery. I never felt rushed or that any question I had was a stupid one. I can honestly say that she has changed my life and I'm so grateful. Elena, the nurses and everybody who looked after me at The Spire Bristol could not have been kinder to me and I felt completely looked after, at such a vulnerable time for me this gave me great comfort. If I were to go back and do it all again I wouldn't change a thing. I wish I had done this sooner, the difference in the way that I feel is truly life changing.
