Dr Hywel Jones was the anaesthetist for my breast augmentation on 4th July. I first met him on the morning of my operation. I wasn't feeling 100% and I had a temperature. Dr Jones and the surgeon, Mr Simon Smith, advised that I shouldn't have the operation that day because of the risk of complications that an infection may cause to the implants. Although I had geared myself up for having the operation that day and was disappointed that it had to be cancelled I am so grateful that Dr Jones and Mr Smith made this considered decision, despite the theatre already being prepped and the staff ready to operate! It shows that they both put the health of the patient above anything else. Dr Jones and Mr Smith were extremely kind and rearranged their schedules so that the operation could be performed 4 days later. In a previous operation I had taken a long time to come round from the anaesthetic and so I was nervous of going under anaesthetic again. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly I felt back to my normal self following the operation and I did not suffer any negative side effects. Dr Jones has a very caring nature and completely put my mind at ease. He fully explained exactly what to expect and checked on me a few times before and after the operation to ensure that I was ok. I felt very safe under the care of Dr Jones and would want him to be the anaesthetist at any future operations I have!
