Sarah’s Story
Sarah's Story
Location: Folkestone
Age: 26
Treatment(s): Abdominoplasty with 4 Sites of Liposuction & Breast Augmentation
"It changes everything — how you see yourself, how you interact with others. It just gives you a new way of being."
For Sarah, cosmetic surgery meant reclaiming confidence and comfort in her own body after years of living with a complex medical condition. At nearly 12 weeks post-op from an extended tummy tuck and breast augmentation, Sarah reflects candidly on her reasons for surgery, the emotional and physical rollercoaster of recovery, and why, for her, it was all completely worth it.
Why Sarah Chose a Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation
Sarah has lived with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) for as long as she can remember — a connective tissue disorder that affects the skin, joints, and overall collagen function.
“My collagen just doesn’t work the way it should,” she explains. “Even as a child, I had a belly that hung down like an apron. Through my teens, my weight went up — at one point I was around 19 stone — and then I lost five and a half stone. That left me with a lot of excess skin that simply wouldn’t go back.”
Breast development was another concern. “I never really got boobs — my left side was tubular, and they just never came through properly,”
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to make my body look like how it feels it should be".
THE SURGEON AND THE CLINIC THAT MADE SARAH'S JOURNEY FEEL POSSIBLE
Sarah was drawn to Bella Vou because of its reputation for exceptional aftercare — something she knew would be essential given her condition. “With EDS, it was unlikely surgery would just go smoothly. I needed somewhere that would really look after me,” she says.
At Bella Vou, she was matched with Rado Bocca, a surgeon known for his artistic approach and experience with complex cases and scarring. “We just clicked,” Sarah smiles. “He’s a bit funky, I’ve got a big personality — it worked. He asked me to lose a couple of stone before surgery. I went away for three months, did it, and came back ready.”
The Turning Point: Sarah’s Surgery Day and the Beginning of Her New Chapter
On the day of surgery, Sarah was excited but nervous. “I was in early — 7am — and I think I went in around 8,” she recalls. “Everyone was lovely. But unfortunately, I have a resistance to painkillers and anaesthetics, so when I woke up, the pain was... a lot.”
Managing discomfort was a challenge, but the care team stayed on top of it throughout the first night. “By the next day, I could move around more. It was rough, but it got better.”
Going through a more complex recovery changed Sarah’s perspective on surgery. “People think it’s the ‘easy way out’. But in truth, losing the weight was the easy bit. Surgery was the hard part — the final big hurdle.”
“It made me appreciate just how involved and serious this process really is. But I always felt supported... I was never left to figure things out alone'
Thriving Beyond Surgery and Recovery
Today, Sarah’s confidence has transformed. “I used to refuse to wear anything fitted. Now, I’ll wear whatever I want — I’m not constantly adjusting clothes to hide myself,” she says. “My chest suits my frame, my waist has this amazing shape I never thought I could have.”
Though early recovery was tough and emotionally draining, things changed around the six-week mark. “The swelling went down, the scars started to fade. I just stopped panicking and started feeling proud of what I’d done.”
For those worried about a less-than-perfect recovery, Sarah is reassuring: “Even if it doesn’t go perfectly straight away, it will get there. I was so impatient, but the progress does come. You just need time — and patience.
And if she could go back and tell herself one thing before surgery?
“Just that — it’s going to suck for a bit. You’ll realise how much you use your abs in daily life only when you can’t. But you’ll get there. And it is so worth it."

I would 100% recommend Bella Vou. They have been so helpful, warm and professional all the way through my treatment journey. For many years my heavy hooded eyelids were bothering me and I had be planning to have it done at some point, my only regret is not booking it sooner. From the initial consultation, leading up to surgery, the procedure and out surgery. I was very anxious but a were so lovely and I felt reassured and in the best hands. Amir and his colleagues were fantastic, telling me what they were doing, what to expect. I couldn’t have asked for more. The service post surgery has been next to none, people to contact 24/7, phone check up, follow up appointments and everyone has been attentive and responsive. If you are considering this surgery or any other then don’t put it off, book a consultation, you will not regret it.

I recently visited Bella Vou Cosmetic Practice for upper blepharoplasty, and I am thrilled with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, kind and highly professional, making me feel comfortable and valued. Dr. Amir and the wonderful nurse made me feel completely at ease during my visit. Although the injections were somewhat uncomfortable, the discomfort was brief. I am delighted with the results—it has truly exceeded my expectations. The environment was pristine and calming, which added to the overall positive experience. I was amazed by the results, experiencing minimal bruising and swelling at my one-week follow-up appointment, the nurse was impressed by my recovery. I diligently followed the aftercare instructions, including daily icing, which I believe contributed to the reduction in bruising and swelling. Now, two weeks post-op, my results continue to improve, and I am healing exceptionally well. I wholeheartedly recommend Bella Vou Cosmetic Practice to anyone considering cosmetic treatments.

I had an upper blepharoplasty with Dr Amir and am beyond thrilled with the results. I am of an age where eyelid skin was beginning to impede vision and to look very ageing. This was something that I had thought about for a few years but was always very concerned about as your eyes are crucial to your appearance. I wanted someone who was in the UK , who was highly reputable – Dr Amir is a very experienced surgeon with his own clinic in Tunbridge Wells. My first consultation confirmed this decision . I had an initial consultation, decided to go ahead and had the procedure within a few weeks which was painless as was the recuperation. You were given a bag to take home with everything that you may need in recuperation. The results are excellent- I have the eyes I want. I can wear my make up as I want. Everyone on the team at Bella Vou was amazing and made you feel appreciated and connected. Dr Amir was professional, calm and reassuring. No question was too silly. I had the procedure and felt that I had a back up team if there were any issues. There were none.The price includes all consultations, checks and everything you need to recuperate

I could not recommend the whole team at Bella Vou enough. Each step, from the initial consultation to the follow up appointments post surgery was such a great experience. For something that could have been stressful for me (as someone who hadn’t had surgery before) I am so happy to say I was cared for and put at ease all along the way. Amir was so knowledgable when discussing types of implants, shapes, size, and recovery, and I trusted his guidance throughout. I really would recommend this clinic for surgery.

I would highly recommend Bella Vou if you’re considering any kind of cosmetic surgery especially Dr Amir. From the moment I stepped into Bella Vou I felt so welcome & relaxed every member of staff is so friendly and can’t do enough for you. I had done some of my own research into the clinic before my consultation with Dr Amir but every video I had watched and reviews I read were exactly who he was in person kind, caring & very knowledgeable he listened to everything I wanted to achieve. My amazing patient coordinator is Julia she is so lovely and couldn’t do enough for me, she has been so reassuring and such a friendly face to see whenever at the clinic, always on hand to answer any questions I couldn’t have gone through this all without her. My surgery went really well, Amir is incredible at what he does. I was so well cared for & the rooms are spotless. I was sent home with all my medication & a timed schedule when they needed to be taken. I was also offered the Chaucer service to my 1 week post op appointment, my driver Andy was very friendly & held good conversation. I also received a beautiful bunch of flowers a week after my surgery which was a lovely little touch. I’m just under 2 weeks post op and almost back to normal, I’m excited to see my results over the next coming weeks/months. Bella Vou really is the best clinic, all the small touches will make your journey with them so special. I can’t thank them all enough!

I am absolutely over the moon with my results following my breast augmentation. From the very first consultation, Amir truly listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that. He took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, ensuring I felt fully informed, comfortable, and confident in my decision. The care I received throughout my entire journey at Bella Vou has been exceptional. From consultation through to aftercare, the team have been incredibly attentive, supportive, and professional. The clinic itself is warm, welcoming, and maintains the highest standards. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Amir and the team at Bella Vou to anyone considering surgery.

I am almost 4 weeks post surgery, I had a breast uplift and a thigh lift. Amir was my surgeon and I couldn’t have chosen a better one, from the first meeting he was so open and so honest with everything , which I really appreciated, he filled me with much needed confidence and I felt that I would be able to love myself after having my surgery having discussed everything with him and what to expect. I am so grateful to him, after losing 7 stone in weight and being left with excess skin and breasts that were empty I decided to go to Bella vou which is something I never thought I would do, but it had changed my life, I am amazed at what Amir has done especially with my breasts as I really didn’t believe they would even resemble a breast again, but I am sat here today with two perfectly pert breasts and I love them !! I never thought I would say that. My thighs are incredible too, they look so shaped and toned and I now know I will feel confident enough to be able to wear bikini bottoms and not have to ever worry again . Everybody at Bella vou has been amazing, from the lovely lady on reception, to the lovely lady upstairs who keeps you comfortable with drinks and biscuits. Also I have to say a huge thankyou to Nikki Pinkney , throughout my time here she has been amazing and I’m so grateful to have met such a lovely lady . Overall I do not regret a thing , Amir is incredible and I’m so grateful to him. Bella Vou is a beautiful place full of beautiful people and I can’t thank them all enough.

I am currently two weeks post-operative following a 360° Fleur-de-Lis body lift and external thigh lift, and I can honestly say that the care I have received from Bella Vou has been second to none. From my very first consultation, the entire experience has been outstanding. Having lost 11 stone and had 6kg of excess skin removed, choosing the right hospital and surgeon was incredibly important to me. The whole establishment at Bella Vou is exceptional — everything runs like clockwork, and every member of staff is warm, welcoming, and highly professional. I genuinely have only positive things to say. My patient coordinator, Victoria, has been absolutely amazing throughout my entire journey. She has been there for me at the drop of a hat, offering reassurance, guidance, and constant support. Without her, I honestly think I may have chickened out — her encouragement and kindness made all the difference. My first consultation with Mr Amir Nakhdjevani completely exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by his knowledge, professionalism, and reassuring manner. He is incredibly positive and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I had complete confidence that I was in the safest possible hands. Even at just two weeks post-op, I am already blown away by my results — they are far better than I could ever have imagined. Having done extensive research into plastic surgery and skin removal following massive weight loss, it became very clear how vital it is to be in the right hands. While going abroad can be tempting due to lower costs, the aftercare at Bella Vou is exceptional and truly sets them apart. The included lymphatic massages have been wonderful and have helped significantly with swelling, and the nursing team is always on hand to provide support and reassurance. I would 100% recommend Bella Vou and Mr Amir Nakhdjevani to anyone considering surgery. Despite the extent of the operation, my entire experience has been incredibly positive from start to finish. Five stars simply isn’t enough. Finally, a heartfelt thank you for the beautiful bouquet of flowers and the thoughtful goodie bag I received when leaving the hospital — such a lovely and personal touch.

I had been thinking about a tummy tuck for 11 years after having my daughter, but I was always hesitant. Reading reviews online, I felt scared and unsure the thought of surgery was daunting, and I didn’t know who to trust. Last year, after months of thorough research, I came across Amir Bella Vou. I spent a long time looking into his results, reading patient experiences, and analysing his work carefully. Once I met him in consultation, I immediately felt safe and confident in his approach. He is professional, honest, and direct he doesn’t waste time with fluff, and that honesty instantly reassured me. While I didn’t see him frequently during my journey, every interaction was clear, informative, and reassuring. The support team around him is exceptional. The nurses, the MLD massage therapist, and everyone else involved were attentive, caring, and truly made me feel comfortable throughout. A special mention goes to Kim, who was in the lounge area and after my surgery, offering me toast and drinks, chatting with me, and also helping my husband feel at ease which was so important, as it was a strange experience for him too. Her kindness and warmth made both of us feel safe and looked after. I’m only two weeks post-op, so I can’t see my final results yet, but so far, everything has gone incredibly smoothly. Recovery has been supported with such care and attention that I’ve felt genuinely looked after at every stage. I can honestly say that Amir Bella Vou and his entire team have made me feel safe, supported, and understood throughout this entire process. Their professionalism, skill, and empathy, along with the personal touches from team members have given me a confidence in this journey that I never thought possible. I am extremely grateful to all of them. If you’re looking for a sign to pick a clinic, this is it.

An incredible experience from start to finish. I’ve recommended Bella Vou to so many friends, and they’re all just as impressed with my results. The whole team is welcoming, caring, and attentive. The surgery itself was so calm and relaxed, it honestly felt like such a chilled experience, and I was put at ease every step of the way. Everything was explained clearly, so I always felt informed and reassured. The aftercare is the best I’ve ever come across. The support, kindness, and consideration (especially as a mum) meant so much. I even brought my daughter to a few appointments, and they welcomed her with open arms. Such a lovely team. Having my tummy tuck and Lipo 360 has given me a level of confidence I never thought I’d get back after having three children and three C-sections. I’ll be forever grateful to the team and Dr Amir for everything they’ve done.

I have had an excellent experience with Bella Vou and would highly recommend the clinic to anyone considering surgery. I recently underwent an abdominoplasty and hernia repair with Mr Dr Amir Nakhdjevani. Whilst I didn’t have excessive amounts of loose skin, I had post-pregnancy wrinkling above my belly button, stretch marks, and diastasis (abdominal separation), which meant my abs never really reflected the effort I put in at the gym. I first chose Bella Vou after seeing Dr Amir featured on ITV’s Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection and was immediately struck by his warm yet professional manner. Alongside this, Bella Vou’s complimentary consultation service and complete lack of pressure really appealed to me. It genuinely felt as though they put the client first, which isn’t always a given. The clinic itself feels more like a five-star hotel than a medical facility — elegant, spotless, calm and welcoming. Every member of staff strikes the perfect balance between friendly and professional. Dr Amir is clearly exceptional at what he does; he communicates with expertise and honesty, manages expectations clearly, and makes you feel completely safe and confident in his hands. The surgery itself lasted around 2.5 hours. The overnight care was also fantastic — the night staff were incredible, I was able to order complimentary Deliveroo, watch Netflix, and my husband was able to stay with me for most of the evening, which made a huge difference. I also received a beautiful bouquet of flowers once I arrived home – such a thoughtful touch. Recovery-wise, I think it’s important to be honest for anyone considering this surgery: the first week is tough. I would strongly recommend having family or friends around to help with moving around, meals and keeping on top of medication. Between the anaesthetic and pain relief, I felt mainly drowsy, swollen and nauseous during that first week. However, the clinic were incredibly reassuring throughout and always available to answer questions, which helped enormously. The second week was significantly better. I was still walking slightly hunched over but was moving around the house much more confidently. Sleep improved and I became more comfortable wearing the compression garment. By the end of week two, I felt physically and mentally much brighter. I’m now at the beginning of week three and the difference compared to two weeks ago is incredible. My posture is almost completely back to normal, and whilst I still need to rest in the afternoons, I look and feel like myself again. One thing I would strongly recommend is taking a full two weeks off work if at all possible. I had optimistically scheduled a couple of work calls during week two and ended up needing to cancel them because my concentration still wasn’t fully there. In hindsight, I should have completely blocked out those two weeks from the start. Overall, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel very grateful to the entire Bella Vou team.

Fabulous experience. Full 360 tummy tuck with fleur de lys and thigh lift. I am 2 weeks in and the tapes came off and the scars are so fine it is unbelieveable. 8kg taken off in total. The aftercare is magnificent as well. I realise Bella Vou is significantly more expensive but I did my research and I wanted the best. Seems that I was correct in my surgeon and his great team.

I’m two weeks post tummy tuck and fat transfer to breasts and am recovering better than I thought possible. The results even this early are quite amazing. The experience on op day was lovely, you genuinely feel like you’re staying in a spa hotel, the environment is gorgeous and the nurses and theatre staff were all so lovely and could not be more helpful and attentive. I was laughing away with the theatre staff before I went to sleep. Amir is an artist and his work is exceptional. My scar is so neat and my belly button already looks like it’s going to be great, I have definition despite a bit of swelling (swelling which has been pretty minimal compared to others whose journeys I have followed. The after care is amazing too, someone on hand all the time for any questions and they get back to you really quickly. I would 100% recommend Bella Vou and Amir to anyone looking for something similar.

I had a breast uplift and implants with Bella Vou two weeks ago, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Every single member of the team has been outstanding—nothing has ever been too much to ask. Although it’s only been 2 weeks and I haven’t yet seen the final healed result, I can already tell I’m going to be really happy. My surgeon made me feel completely comfortable from my very first consultation right through to going home, and the aftercare has been just as amazing, always there to answer any questions I’ve had. I would highly recommend Bella Vou to anyone considering surgery, and I will definitely continue to do so!

A week on from surgery, I can honestly say that choosing Bella Vou was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had consultations elsewhere, but from the moment I walked through the doors at Bella Vou, I was met with nothing but kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. After meeting Rado and my wonderful patient coordinator, Josie, I knew in my gut that this was the right place for me. I had a breast uplift with implants, and whilst achieving a great result is obviously important, surgery is a huge decision. I needed to feel safe, supported, listened to, and completely confident in the people looking after me. Bella Vou gave me that from day one. Every single member of staff has been incredible. From the reception team, nurses, anaesthetist, photographer and chauffeur, to all the amazing people supporting you before, during and after surgery, everyone has gone above and beyond. The clinic itself is beautiful, but what truly makes Bella Vou special is the personal care and attention they give. You never feel like just another patient; you feel genuinely valued and cared for. Rado is exceptionally talented, but he’s also kind, funny, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. During my consultation, he took the time to explain everything in detail, answered every question, and made me feel completely heard. I never once felt rushed or pressured. Instead, I felt empowered to make the decision that was right for me. Josie was equally wonderful. She carefully talked me through all of my options and supported me every step of the way. What I loved most was how open and honest the whole process was. There was never any pressure to commit, which sadly I’ve experienced elsewhere. Everything was explained clearly, and I always felt respected and supported in my choices. As a mum, I carried a fair amount of guilt about doing something for myself. However, this is something I had wanted for a long time, and even at just one week post-op, I am already so happy with my results. I know they will continue to improve as everything settles and heals, but I can already see the difference and couldn’t be happier. I did unfortunately experience a very rare post-operative complication that required me to return to the clinic for treatment. This was absolutely no one’s fault and simply one of those rare risks that can occur with any surgical procedure, despite everything being done correctly. What impressed me even more than the surgery itself was the exceptional care I received afterwards. The support, reassurance, responsiveness, and compassion from the entire team have been outstanding. Knowing that you’re genuinely looked after should anything unexpected happen is invaluable, and Bella Vou has been there for me every step of the way. Their aftercare has been nothing short of phenomenal. What has amazed me most is how much better I am already feeling despite being only one week post-op. I genuinely believe the outstanding care, guidance, and support I have received throughout this journey has played a huge part in that, and I couldn’t be more grateful. To every single member of the Bella Vou team — I wish I could remember everyone’s names — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for making me laugh when I was nervous, reassuring me when I needed it most, and consistently going above and beyond. The care you provide extends far beyond the operating theatre, and I will never forget how supported you’ve made me feel throughout this entire journey. No amount of thank yous will ever feel enough, but please know how incredibly grateful I am. I would recommend Bella Vou without hesitation to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. Thank you for everything.

Three weeks ago, I underwent an abdominoplasty at Bella Vou, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From start to finish, the care I received was exceptional. My surgeon, Rado, is truly an artist. His attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to really listen to my concerns gave me complete confidence. The results have far exceeded my expectations — it’s not just a physical transformation but an emotional one too. I also want to extend my gratitude to Ravi, my anaesthetist, whose calm and reassuring presence made me feel completely safe throughout the procedure. The nursing staff were equally outstanding, with a special mention to Gabriella, who consistently went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease Another standout in my care team was Renata, who provided expert MLD massages. She quickly noticed a fluid collection and immediately informed Amir, who promptly drained it — their responsiveness and teamwork were truly impressive. Bella Vou’s pre- and post-operative care is second to none. Every interaction felt personal, and I was genuinely made to feel like royalty. Their holistic and patient-centred approach turned what could have been a daunting experience into a journey of trust, confidence, and healing. Thank you to the entire team at Bella Vou for your outstanding care — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

I genuinely have only positive things to say. My patient coordinator, Victoria, has been absolutely amazing throughout my entire journey. She has been there for me at the drop of a hat, offering reassurance, guidance, and constant support. Without her, I honestly think I may have chickened out — her encouragement and kindness made all the difference. My first consultation with Mr Amir Nakhdjevani completely exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by his knowledge, professionalism, and reassuring manner. He is incredibly positive and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I had complete confidence that I was in the safest possible hands. Even at just two weeks post-op, I am already blown away by my results — they are far better than I could ever have imagined. Having done extensive research into plastic surgery and skin removal following massive weight loss, it became very clear how vital it is to be in the right hands. While going abroad can be tempting due to lower costs, the aftercare at Bella Vou is exceptional and truly sets them apart. The included lymphatic massages have been wonderful and have helped significantly with swelling, and the nursing team is always on hand to provide support and reassurance. I would 100% recommend Bella Vou and Mr Amir Nakhdjevani to anyone considering surgery. Despite the extent of the operation, my entire experience has been incredibly positive from start to finish. Five stars simply isn’t enough. Finally, a heartfelt thank you for the beautiful bouquet of flowers and the thoughtful goodie bag I received when leaving the hospital — such a lovely and personal touch.

Amir and his whole team have been amazing. Absolutely thrilled with results, highly recommended. I had 360 total body lift and thigh lift. 2 weeks post op healing well and now looking forward to the rest of my life.
