meintea Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I will post a very detailed unedited raw journal entry on my day-to-day experience (good and bad) when I was in SK for these procedures later on. But for now, I just want to talk about my overall experience with DA and what procedures I had done. After almost two years of researching different clinics, reading different threads and communicating with DA throughout, I decided that I trusted DA for the procedures that I wanted and went for it. I had a nose revision (my nose was still wide and bulbous), shaving of one side of my jaw and genioplasty (I have a crooked jaw and my face was uneven but opted not to fix jaw through double-jaw-surgery but just a shaving instead), and eye surgery that included epi, lower and lateral for both eyes. Throughout my communication overseas with DA, they were always very thorough, informative, and responded in a timely manner and never left feeling way too much doubt like all the other clinics that I had inquired through (will touch on this in my raw journal entry later on). They were consistent, more honest than the other clinics that I felt and not dodgey. The English coordinator/translator was amazing- at first I had Emily but she went on mat leave and Julie was taking care of me through this journey. I loved how when I first go to DA, I felt immediately comfortable and the location and office space and waiting area and rooms were set up in a way that was comforting, clean and elegant. Water and coffee is offered in all waiting areas. I appreciated this. I also appreciated that they offered airport pick-up and drop-off if needed. I will talk about the doctors and more in my journal entry as it is very long but overall, I am incredibly satisfied with the care and information that was provided to me, for being accommodating, and grateful for the doctors' care and skill on the procedures they've done and I am extremely pleased with the result so far. It is only 1 month and 2 weeks post op so it's quite early but I am really happy so far. I know I have to be realistic and remember that results may change over time but I am really hoping that things don't change for the worse over time but better if it does change, not that I need anything to change right now. If you have any questions for me, please read through my unedited raw journal entry that I'll be posting soon and if the answers are not there, reply to the thread or direct message me! Currently I am not exactly comfortable with sending pictures of myself but if it changes, I will definitely let you know
