It has been about 6 months since my surgery with Dr Jesus Benito in Barcelona and I have to tell all that was involved with my surgery, and those of you who are reading this contemplating some form of surgery to enhance your appearance, that it was worth every last penny.
The waiting and the anticipation of the final results over the past few months has not only made me look younger and made me look happier, but it has also allowed me to stop being so conscious about my looks whilst out socialising.
As with most people several factors contribute to ones confidence, my lack of confidence was coming from my looks and there was no option but to commit to having surgery in order to improve them. The only choice that I had to make was with whom to allow and trust to perform such a skilled operation that would change my life forever..
I had done much questioning with people who had had surgery and searching on the internet to find the right surgeon. I had already managed to narrow down the search considerably by deciding to have my surgery done abroad, because of the price which is cheaper by some 30% - 50%.
Naturally, the final choice would be mine, so I had selected a few surgeons that I had found on the internet and started to arrange appointments; all were based in Harley Street, London. To my disappointment, I was either greeted by ill mannered surgeons that did not have a bedside manner as one would expect, or they gave a response that they were unable to do the operation that I was after. I was just about to give up all hope, thinking maybe that was not meant to be when my last appointment was due, (yes you have guessed) with Dr Jesus Benito, arranged by his friendly and efficient Patient Coordinator (Aida).
From the moment that I stepped into Dr Benito’s office in Harley Street, my life changing experience had started. The beautifully decorated building with equally matched with soft furnishings and the attention to detail, gave me an inclination to the type of person that I was about to meet. Only waiting for a few minutes in such comfortable surroundings I was greeted by Dr Benito himself and shown to his consultation room, unlike the other consultations where I had to make my own way through a labyrinth of corridors and stairs and ask several times am I going in the right direction.
Already feeling relaxed, Dr Benito increased this by his calm and gentle mannerism, this allowed me to think clearly with regards to the questions that I needed to ask him, to be able to consider having the surgery that I wanted. Dr Benito was very upfront and answered my questions without hesitation, confirming that he was an honest surgeon. Dr Benito did not try to inject his opinion as to what he felt I needed done, he asked me what it was that I wanted to change about my appearance, which impressed me. After an unhurried consultation (which is not what you expect considering it was free), feeling more than happy I asked for the cost of the surgery, the price quoted included everything (except flights) surprised me tremendously as it was £0000’s cheaper than having it done here in London. With all of my questions answered and Dr Benito able to perform the surgery that I wanted, I gave the go ahead.
The following day I phoned Barcelona and spoke to Aida (patient coordinator) to set a date for the surgery. Amazingly, I only had to wait 6 weeks. This gave me enough time to prepare myself emotionally for something I had been wanting to have done for about 15 years.. Aida had kept in close contact with me throughout this period, answering new questions that were developing as time drew closer, naturally expected, most of all giving me great support and encouragement. By the time I had arrived in Barcelona, I had felt that I made a friend through our weeks of contact by phone, which is a great comfort, trust me, because I was becoming increasingly anxious, yet excited at the same time.
Before we knew it, we were in Barcelona, being chauffeur driven to our hotel, courtesy of Dr Benito. The following day I met Aida at the hospital for my pre-operation tests, as expected I was greeted with a big smile and at last a face to put to the reassuring voice of the past few weeks. The tests were quick and I was soon on my way to see a little bit of Barcelona before the surgery. I urge all that go to Barcelona for surgery to go a few days before your operation to see the city, it is beautiful.
The good thing is that if you go with a friend or partner, they are also allowed to stay with you in your private suite for the duration of your admission (yes for free), this is a comfort and much needed both pre and post op, mainly for support and someone to talk to.
On the day of my surgery, I was taken to my suite, shown around and had the procedure of events explained to me by one of the nurses, so I knew what to expect. Within an hour Dr Benito was there in my suite, asking how I felt and explained the surgery to both myself and my partner and reassured me as I was obviously showing signs of anxiety.
Just some 4 hours later after my anesthetic , I was back in my room, the surgery was successful ,my partner by my side and the nurses doing their things. The recovery was made much easier than I had anticipated , the attention to keeping me pain free was great, even for the weeks to follow when I had returned to London. I was able to recuperate comfortably and the staff were always happy and very considerate and respectful every time they attended to my needs. I have to say that the food and service made it a 5 star stay.
Within 3 days of having my surgery, I was flying back home to London, pain free and happy.. Within 2 weeks I was back at work receiving compliments from my fellow colleagues and friends.
It only took a couple of weeks for the bruising and noticeable swelling to go and the staples were taken out by Dr Benito, as he flies to London every 2 weeks for consultations and will meet with you on a couple of occasions after your initial follow up consultation to make sure all is well and that you are happy with the result of your surgery..
On my last meeting both Dr Benito and myself were more than pleased with the results and the speed in which I had recovered, the best thing of all is that you really can’t see any scaring as all the incisions were done in my hair line and even with parting my hair, the scars are just not visible.
A few months later all the swelling has now gone and the final result can be seen, I tell you I am more than happy, I am a new me, a more confident me and most of all a happy me!.
I know in the future, that I would not hesitate to have further surgery with Dr Benito and most definitely recommend him to anyone that asks for a cosmetic surgeon of repute.
Thank you so very much to Dr Benito, Aida and all the staff that were involved in my surgery and post operative care.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I arrived with a friend at Dr.Benito's office at 7pm for my consultation as I had opted to travel from Kent and have surgery the next day. He was very welcoming and answered all of my questions and put me at ease. I was told to arrive at the hospital the next day at 830am for blood tests etc. I was understandably nervous (to say the least) but my whole life had been taken over by the fact that I was not happy with my breat size.
I went from a 34a to a supposedly 34 large B but I am still buying C and D cups in England so that's fantastic! I can honestly say that I do not have any issues with my breasts and in fact, I get a lot of compliments on how 'real' they look. I did years of research and I do not believe any other surgeon can make them look so natural. Just check Dr Benito's profile as he really is an expert in his field. I am so happy with the procedure I'm actually saving up now for liposuction so anyone reading this that's wondering who to choose- go with Dr Benito and pay that little bit more as it's your body after all
