So I’m BFF’s with Mya again.
It feels like its been a really long journey, and if im completely honest I felt a little hesitant writing in the forum again in regards to my journey because I havent had my op yet, and there is still the little niggling feeling of “what if something goes wrong” or “what if they let me down again”
So basically, in my older post I said how I felt hugely let down due to a string of little things that happened pre op and as a final straw they changed my surgery date and I couldnt make that new date. I even went as far to secure a surgery date with THG instead and cancelled with Mya.
But to my surprise I had one of Mya’s directors get in touch almost immediately, and from there on Mya have done a complete 180 with me. Upon reflection I feel we had a huge miscommunication. And I think we both agreed there was room for improvement and it was salvageable. Not only that but that it was obvious that my experience was rare (thank goodness) and overall they are a really great company.
So it didnt come without a huge amount of talking and negotiating (mainly with my family) as me having this surgery was never just my choice. It was something my mom and fiance had to agree with also as my health, well being and happiness affects them also, along with my 2 sons. But Mya did make me a great offer of letting me have my original surgery date, different surgeon (with similar styles to Dr Schivone) and as a good will gesture, a substancial discount. I wont reveal how much as I don’t think it would be appropriate or fair on other girls who are patients. But it never was really about the money, and I’m so happy that they understood that my confidence had been lost in them completely, and even partly in the whole cosmetic surgery industry. And that this was actually hugely personal to me and a really difficult journey more than perhaps I had let on initially.
But they did understand, and its all worked out in the end.
So my surgery is 14th in Preston. A little further away for me (2 hours or so) but its do-able.
I still have a few reservations, and I’m just hoping as I make my appointments (new consultation, and pre op) that these will be seen as more opportunities for the staff to reassure me and install that confidence that I lost so quickly. Going back with Mya is not a decision me or my family took lightly and I think they understand and appreciate this.
I’ll keep you all updated, but for now, I’m very excited! 🙂
