"Thank you thank you so much to Dr Sherif El Amari at Signature Clinic Rochdale, you have truly changed my life more than I ever thought could be possible. I had my buccal fat removal done by Dr El Amari 2 weeks ago and he told me on the day “in ten days you’ll see the difference” today as I write this is the tenth day and I almost cried with joy at how I look now 🥲 thank you Dr and the whole team who have called twice since then to make sure everything is ok. My life has genuinely changed and I can’t thank you enough ❤️"
"I’ve been self conscious about my cheeks for years and I recently got buccal fat pad removal, this is the best decision I’ve made! I’m so happy with the way this has turned out, I was so scared to go ahead with this and Dr Nesi and the surgeon carlo made me feel so much better about the treatment, Doctors where very helpful and made this experience much better for me. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who is wanting a better bone structure on their cheeks, I was also scared about how long this recovery would be but I could go back to work the next day and so this was also great."
