The Man Behind the Women: Jacek Zmijewski
Out of bikinis and into boxers, today we’re going to take a ‘brief’ (get it?) look at the man behind Secret Surgery’s designer vaginas. Jacek Zmijewski is our expert gynaecologist surgeon, with years of experience with women’s bodies! Today, we’ve managed to get a few minutes with him, and I can tell you – he’s one of the nicest guys in EMC Hospital!
Hi, Jacek! That’s Jack in English, right? “Yes! My name is Polish, of course. I graduated from the Medical Academy in Wroclaw in 1986, and then went on to study my Second Degree Specialization in Gynecology-Obstetrics, and finished that in 1993. I completed my PhD. In 1996, and am a member of the Polish Society of Obstetrics and the Polish Society of Gynecologics.”
Wow, a filled resumé, then. But, enough about work. What do you like to do in your free time? “I’ve got a beautiful wife who is also a fabulously talented and famous Professor of Gynaecology too and a wonderful daughter, so I obviously love to spend time with them. My hobby, it has to be said, is women! But I also enjoy travelling – to Asia, America… anywhere that’ll take me! I’m also known as a bit of a joker.”
Known as a joker and a great Gynecology Doctor in Poland? Jacek is doing well! He’s an invaluable part of the team here at Secret Surgery, and, as well as being a highly-skilled surgeon, he’s also just a lovely guy.

Considering Pectoral Implants?
About procedure:
Having a pectoral implant means undergoing a cosmetic surgery to change the appearance and the size of the pectoral muscles. These are the muscles in a male chest, which are impressive and good to look at.
Pectoral implants are solid, silicone prosthetic devices, which are specially carved and shaped for every individual who is having the implant done before insertion. After the implant, they should look and feel natural, yet give them the desired chest according to each individual body shape or defect. Bicep and triceps implants are the ones most commonly used to shape, enlarge and firm the upper chest and arm areas and if they are correctly inserted then they give a natural appearance of the chest and muscles in both the flexed and relaxed condition.
An incision is made in the armpit and a pocket is created in the fascia of the upper pectoral muscle. Once the implant pocket is created, a soft, solid silicone implant is sculpted to the exact size and most esthetic appearance.
Usually, this sculpting requires vast knowledge from having placed many pectoral implants before, to know specifically how the final implant will look after healing. Once sculpted, the silicone implant is inserted into the pocket and it is secured with a few small self-dissolving sutures. The external incision is closed, and a very small dressing is placed under the arms to promote rapid healing. The patient can typically see the change to the pectoral area immediately after surgery.
During the recovery period, the patient is instructed not to lift their arms after surgery. When the dressings are removed the patient is told to follow a gentle exercise program for the next few weeks to permit a full and comfortable range of motion of the arms. This allows the pec implants to settle into the fascia pockets that surround the muscle. Generally within a week or two, physical use of the upper body muscles may be resumed and within one month, full pectoral muscular activity may be recommenced.
PLEASE NOTE: This method may result in the appearance of stretch marks on the chest (tattoos can become distorted)

Nuala: My Breast Reduction
Today, Nuala from Edinburgh has got more Secret Surgery gossip for us, with details about her breast reduction procedure, undertaken earlier this year.
“I’ve wanted a breast reduction for many years now, being a mother of four, but I never thought I’d see it happen. I used to hate the way I looked, and so I started searching for surgeries online, and this is how I found Secret Surgery.”
“I looked at pictures on the web, and then got in contact with Angela Chouaib, Secret Surgery’s MD. She was so helpful, and made me realise just how viable surgery with Secret Surgery would be. Angela put me through to the Secret Surgery Facebook group, where I could talk to other people in the same position as me.”
“Talking to past patients, I just knew I was making the right decision. As soon as I made up my mind and paid my deposit, I could sit back and just let Angela take over. I never regretted my decision – not for a moment.”
“Angela was great the whole way through. She talked me through every step, and I never felt pushed into things. All I had to do was turn up at the airport and fly to Wroclaw, where Aga was waiting. She was lovely, and explained everything to me.”
“I was also introduced to Dr. W, the surgeon who would be performing my breast reduction. I really felt like I was in safe hands with him, and I was right! The procedure was fantastic, as was the care I received after it.”
“I’d like to thank Angela from the bottom of my heart, for you have really helped me to make my dream a reality. I’m eternally grateful!”
It’s always lovely to hear genuinely moving stories like this one, and at Secret Surgery we’re just pleased to be able to make a difference. Thanks to Nuala, we’re able to offer first-hand patient stories which might just help more people to take the plunge and change their lives.

More Than Just an Operation: Pre-Op and Post-Op Care
It’s too easy to think that cosmetic surgery is just ‘surgery’. In actual fact, there are three stages in cosmetic surgery abroad: the pre-operative preparation stage, the surgery itself, and the post-operative care. When you’re looking around for surgeries and considering your options, it’s important to think about pre-op and post-op care, too – because they’re just as important as the surgery itself!
Preparing for surgery abroad includes both mental and physical preparation. Physical preparation consists of refraining from drinking alcohol and smoking, staying physically fit and maintaining a healthy diet. It also means making the plans for your surgery and post-op care, such as travel plans and accommodation. Psychologically speaking, it’s important to feel ready for the big change you’re about to undergo.
After your surgery, you’ll also need to make sure you receive the right post-op care. This will vary surgery to surgery, but in many cases you’ll need to take time off work, and make sure you rest properly following your surgery. Aftercare is important to make sure you’re feeling psychologically and physically well after your surgery.
At Secret Surgery, we’ve got pre-op and post-op care covered. In our VIP package, we offer medical and emotional support from Glasgow to Kent, both before and after your surgery. Our UK Doctors are GMC Registered and nurses are plastics trained too! If you are concerned about anything going wrong or if you just need to talk – we’re always here for you. Now that’s what I call care!

How NOT to End Up with Wonky Boobs…
A fascinating story appeared on the Shanghai Daily news site the other day, warning about the dangers of buying your own silicone implants. Reportedly, a female university student in Shanghai purchased a 35 yuan – or $5.50, for those of us who understand American money a little better than Chinese money – silica gel implant, which she then took to the hospital, asking the surgeons there to reshape her nose with it.
It’s all well and good to laugh – after all, who knows what you’re buying online when you purchase a nameless, unbranded ‘implant’ – but if the doctors had not refused, this woman could have suffered some serious consequences!
You can’t just go sticking anything inside your nose, bum, boobs or cheeks and hoping it’ll plump you up without causing any damage. At Secret Surgery, all of our silicone implants are made to order, after being measured for the patient. Not only does this mean that our implants are clean, safe and reliable, but they’re also tailored to fit you. We often find patients who are asking for breast implants have asymmetrical breasts and need two different sizes of implant, anyway.
In other words, just in case you ever get tempted: don’t buy implants online! No doctor in their right minds will operate with those, because they’re dangerous, risky, and – frankly – unsafe. The Shanghai university student should count her lucky stars that her surgeon did refuse to use the implant she had bought, or she might have ended up with a painful and expensive post-op infection!

Video Testimonial: My Girlfriend’s Breast Implants
Another day, another Secret Surgery story. Today, we’ve got someone who wants to tell us his story about accompanying his girlfriend during her trip to have breast implants at Secret Surgery.
“My girlfriend and I decided to book breast implants with Secret Surgery, because we felt secure and positive with the info given to us by Angela Chouaib when we met with her for a consultation in Kent. Everything was well-organized on our behalf, including travel and flights, and we were told where to go and what to bring with us weeks before the trip.”
Great! And what about when you got here? “When we both arrived we ere taken to out hotel by Jack the taxi driver, who was great. The apartment was very ‘designer’ – up to date, spacious – we’ll definitely stay there when we go back again.”
“The next day, we were met by Aga, who picked us up and took us to the hospital for our consultation. Jack and Aga were both very polite and talkative, and they spoke brilliant English. We also met the surgeon, who was very understanding, humble and caring; we were both very glad that he would be the surgeon performing the operation. He was great with my girlfriend – making her laugh and checking up on her – and he also spoke to me personally to say how glad he was to have done the surgery.”
But what about the service you received with Secret Surgery? “Nothing was too much trouble – I had just lost my mobile phone on the plane, and Angela kindle gave me a spare one to use, which was so helpful. The nurses were lovely to me, and even took time to print me out a tram map so I could travel between the hospital, my apartments, train stations and shopping centres. The Polish people also are very helpful if you get lost!”
Are you both pleased you came to Secret Surgery? “The operation was a success! I would definitely go again soon, to have teeth veneers done. Another reason to go back: I fell in love with the restaurants, buildings and scenery out there! Thanks Secret Surgery, for making our trip perfect!”
Thanks to you both! It’s always great to hear positive stories from our patients! If you’re a previous patients of ours, why not tell the world about your experience with us?

Mary: My Vaser Lipo
Mary, from Ireland, has got more news for us today about the surgeries she underwent with us earlier this year. Mary came to Secret Surgery for Vaser Lipo on her thighs, and apparently hasn’t looked back since. Here’s what she’s got to say about it.
“Three years ago, I started attending Weight Watchers after seeing a picture of myself at a wedding. I was disgusted with how I looked, and after two and half years at Weight Watchers I managed to bring my weight down by six stone and eight pounds!”
“The result was fantastic, but it also meant I had a lot of saggy bits and extra skin left over after such a large weight loss. I looked into cosmetic surgeries in Ireland, but they were all too expensive.”
“This is when I came across Secret Surgery. I contacted Angela, and she was so quick to respond! She was considerate, and I had so many questions – but to her there was no such thing as a silly question!”
“I left with my sister-in-law, Valerie, for Wroclaw on April 28th, and I was so impressed when we got to the hospital. It was immaculate, and the staff were amazing and friendly. I had the vaser lipo as part of my second operation, and it was painless, comforting and easy!”
“It was the best decision of my life. Angela was great, and my experience was made so much better by being there with Valerie, and meeting Sacha, another patient there at the time. We explored the hospital together, and had a great time.”
It’s always wonderful to hear that people have positive experiences here at Secret Surgery. If you’ve got a story to share with the world, don’t hesitate to drop us an e-mail with your Secret Surgery Story.

Is Rihanna Going to Plump For a Little Cosmetic Surgery?
It’s easy to think that it’s only us ‘norms’ who constantly see the flaws in our own bodies, but that’s not true; in a recent interview, Rihanna – who, let’s face it, most of us would kill to look like – has her insecurities too.
The 24-year-old star is going to be seen in the upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar. After losing some weight, it sounds like Rihanna is lamenting the loss of one of her favourite features. “I miss my ass,” she says. “It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”
Cosmetic surgery could well be the solution that Rihanna turns to in a few years’ time; if the young star if after a fuller, bouncier bum, then buttock augmentation surgery, or even a Brazillian buttlift, could be just what the doctor ordered.
Of course, I don’t think Rihanna is desperately in need of cosmetic surgery, having a body to die for, but that’s not for anyone to say but her! After all, cosmetic surgery is all about feeling happy with your own body.
Angela Chouaib, MD and founder of Secret Surgery Ltd., says that “Rihanna’s got a gorgeous body, but if she wants to fill out her bum a little without putting on more weight, cosmetic surgery might just be her best bet. Unfortunately, the only way to get a bigger bum without surgery is to put on weight – and you never know where it’s going to end up!”

Why WE Love Cosmetic Surgery!
Just because we offer cosmetic surgery, doesn’t mean we don’t treat ourselves to it, too! At Secret Surgery, we practice what we preach, and when you work in the cosmetic surgery industry, it’s tough not to be even more aware of your own appearance – as well as every wrinkle and blemish – as you go about your daily business. It’s also important to maintain your image; our company is all about beauty, both internal and external.
That’s why Angela Chouaib, MD and founder of Secret Surgery Ltd. has recently undergone a liquid lift with Persona Cosmetic Medicine. This involved Botox injections all over her face, as well as Juvederm Ultra 4 and Voluma injections into her cheeks.
If this is all gobbledegook to you, let’s slow down a little. Botox injections effectively work to relax the muscles of the face, reducing the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles. Juvederm is a brand of facial filler which is used to restore the volume and perkiness of the face, often in the cheeks and under the eyes.
In other words, if you’re feeling that age is taking its toll just a little too quickly for your liking, than a liquid face lift is just what the doctor ordered. Angela Chouaib says “I had my liquid face lift, done by Dr. Lisa Delamaine at Persona Cosmetic Medicine, and I feel fab! It looks great already, and I can’t wait to see the full results in a few months’ time.”

Just Ask! Asking the Right Questions Before Surgery
Before you actually take the plunge and pay your deposit for cosmetic surgery, you’re likely to have a few questions. You might think of them as questions, or you might think of them as doubts, worries or concerns. Whatever they are, I’ve got just one, tiny piece of advice – ask them.
It’s too easy to feel shy and intimidated about asking questions before something like surgery. Well, let me tell you: there’s no such thing as a stupid question in this business. When you’re about to go under the knife, it’s a big deal, and you’ve got to be 100% sure it’s what you want; if that depends on the answers to a couple of questions you have, then you go get those answers.
At Secret Surgery, we don’t want you to walk in here, give us your money, and leave dissatisfied. If we don’t think you’re right for surgery, we’ll tell you that. But it’s not an easy thing to figure out; and you’ve got to a do a lot of the work yourself. My advice? Ask questions. Write a list of everything you might want to ask before your consultation, and tick every question off that list during it.
Ask about what you can expect from the results of the surgery. Ask to see before and after photos of previous patients. Ask about the risks, the recovery time, and any marks you could possibly left with after the surgery. Ask everything. The only way you can know you’re going to be happy with your surgery is by knowing exactly what you’re walking into when you take the plunge.
Angela Chouaib, MD and founder at Secret Surgery Ltd., says that “Asking questions is the one thing you just can’t do too much of when you’re about to undergo serious surgery. One of our patients, Sacha, really hit the nail on the head when she said that ‘although lots of people think that if they have surgery they will be happy with themselves, my advice is to be happy first – then you will truly love yourself.’”

Secret Love for the RX8
Today the MD & Founder Angela Chouaib talks about her Company Car….. I bought my Mazda RX-8 sports car four months ago when I was looking for a swanky new car that would do a little more than just get me from A to B and back again. I promise I’m not a man going through a mid-life crisis, but you don’t need to be forty – or a man – to see that the RX-8 is a thing of beauty.
I had a modest but substantial sum to spend on a new car, and I thought – what the heck – why not treat myself to a sports car? As an MD in my industry of cosmetic surgery, appearances are everything, and I just knew that turning up to galas, events and meetings in a beautiful black RX-8 would do wonders for Kudos…
I’m not exactly a car fanatic, but I’ve seen a few episodes of Top Gear, and I know a good car when I see one. My RX-8 runs like a dream; just hearing the purr of the engine is enough to get my motor running!
The last trip I took in the RX-8 was when I drove over to Luxembourg from Rochester, where I live in Kent. It was a fantastic experience; I could see all the mountains and the beautiful scenery of Luxembourg around me from the warmth and comfort of the RX-8. With my Bose system on and my air conditioner blasting out cool air, I felt like I could be in a road movie. Of course, it’s not all about style and showing off. I like the fact that owning an RX-8 doesn’t mean I put the rest of my life on hold. I’m not loaded enough to be able to afford four or five different cars for different things, and the RX-8 does everything I need from a car.
I know that the RX-8 is the only sports car with four seats on the market, so I didn’t need to put the kids up for adoption when I bought it! It gets plenty of use, getting me to Client consultations in the morning, picking the kids up from school, and taking us all on holiday a few times a year. In fact, the kids love me for getting it… their friends all want a ride in the black Lightening McQueen!
My favourite thing about the Mazda RX-8 has got to be the suicide doors. Mazda actually call them ‘freestyle doors’, probably so they sound less morbid, but they’re really great fun. The doors open from the back; it takes a little while to get used to, but getting in and out of the car is easier and much more comfortable, and it gives the car a fantastically unique style! All my friends are jealous of the RX-8, so I have to appease them by letting them have a spin in it every few months! I can’t believe I’ve managed to get through this whole thing without boasting that is goes from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds… oh! I absolutely love my car; it’s fast, fun, and functional, and it makes driving anywhere and everywhere a joy.
I even get to tease my hubby that it goes faster than his 3litre S-Type Jaguar, and he’s the petrol-head – not me! Still, I’m a bit of a girly-girl at heart, and deep down I just love the way it looks – smooth, sleek, and a little bit sporty. There’s really nothing more important than aesthetics in the cosmetic surgery industry, and at Secret Surgery, the Mazda RX-8 is definitely our car of choice.
As a special bonus to fellow RX-8 lovers, Secret Surgery is offering a £150 discount on all cosmetic surgery procedures to RX-8 Club Members. Us RX-8 fans ought to stick together, and I just know we’ll have something in common if you come down to visit us in Kent!
He’s Got the Moobs Like Jabba…
Never mind Moves Like Jagger – we wish – more of us ladies have to put up with men that have got moobs like Jabba! Moobs, or man boobs, as you might also call them, can result in men for two reasons, though both of which are correctable with cosmetic surgery. I’m sure I speak for more than just myself when I say that moobs are not the most attractive
The first is medical; a condition called clinical gynecomastia, also known as male breast enlargement, can be caused by a hormonal imbalance of elevated levels of oestrogen or lowered levels of testosterone. While this condition can go away of it’s own accord, it can also hang around, and in these cases it’s certainly worth seeing a doctor to find out about the possibilities of medication or surgery.
Of course, not all men have that excuse. Most moobs probably come about simply because the chest area, like everywhere else on our bodies, is somewhere that excess fat can be stored. I know enough from my own body that when you pile on the pounds, they end up everywhere you least want them. Women aren’t the only victims of this!
Now, you could go out and buy yourself a manissiere, but let’s face it: that’s hardly going to make you feel any more masculine, is it? One way to really eradicate those moobs is to opt for liposuction, which can remove the fat from the pockets on the chest, thus bringing your man boobs down to a more manly size.
Male breast reduction is becoming more and more popular in the UK, as men stop seeing cosmetic surgery as a vanity, and more as something that they sometimes might just need to do for themselves. All jokes aside, ‘moobs’ can make a man feel very feminine, and it’s obviously not great for confidence or self-esteem.
But, don’t fret. It’s pretty easy to turn yourself from Jabba the Hutt into Han Solo, with a little nip here, and a tuck there… At Secret Surgery, we can arrange the scans to determine whether you need a gynacomasty or liposuction, and the surgery, flights and accommodation will all be sorted out by us.

Kim Kardashian’s Cosmetic Surgery Confessions!
More celebrity plastic surgery gossip today, as Kim Kardashian has recently announced her – well, we wouldn’t exactly call them ‘plans’ – to go ‘crazy’ and indulge in cosmetic surgery one day. Good for you, Kim.
Kim Kardashian is the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a hit US reality TV show which has recently gone down a storm here in the UK, too. She’s not the only woman in her family to think of plastic surgery, either; her mother, Kris Jenner, underwent a facelift last year in preparation for Kim’s wedding to Kris Humphries.
Kim said she’s got no current plans to go under the knife, though she won’t rule it out when she’s older. “I haven’t had any surgery.” She told ‘Now’ magazine. “I know they always say, ‘she did that to her butt, she did her nose’, and all that stuff, but I haven’t.”
Kim is quick to point out her views on the matter, though. “I’m not against it – my mom had her neck done and I think they did a really good job, and she did exactly whats he wanted. So when I get older, knowing me, I’m so crazy that I will probably have something done.”
Having previously treated herself to some Botox injections, we don’t doubt that Kim will take the plunge and opt for cosmetic surgery one day, too! And it’s a good thing – because it would be a shame to see those good looks fade!

Fancy Your Own Fifty Shades of Grey Fantasy?
If you’re anything like me, the last few weeks will have gone by in a flurry of pages, as I just haven’t been able to put down the latest hit bestseller, Fifty Shades of Grey. Obviously it’s got a good story, but Fifty Shades is popular for more than just its gripping plots.
Unfortunately, I doubt there are going to be any wild office affairs happening in my life any time soon, but you don’t need a Christian Grey in your life in order to keep things exciting in bed; if you’ve found that your love life isn’t quite what it used to be, there are other ways to spice things up in the bedroom.
Cosmetic surgery is, of course, one of these options. They say it’s only skin-deep, but actually a little cosmetic nip here and tuck there can make all the difference; your new-found confidence can make you dare to do all those things that you never dared to do before!
And cosmetic surgery available at Secret Surgery also includes vaginal tightening, which can physically make the sensations of sex all the better for both partners, too! Making your life a little more like the life of Anastasia Steele really isn’t that difficult; why not live out your own Shades of Grey fantasy with the help of a little cosmetic surgery?
