The idea of having breast augmentation surgery was something I had considered for many years.

I had always felt my chest was not in proportion to the rest of my body which was tall and athletic, and this had troubled me during my adolescent years and adulthood.

When I left school, and was studying and working, I tried to accept the way I was. I wanted to believe and that it was fine to look the way I did.  But when I would go shopping to buy a dress or an outfit.

As a flight attendant and operating theatre nurse for over 25 years, it was only a matter of time before I would end up with varicose veins, all of those hours standing on my feet fighting against gravity whilst flying and standing in the same position whilst assisting surgeons in the operating suite.

Also both of my parents had suffered from varicose veins and it is hereditary. They both had them surgically removed 20 years ago.

After commencing work at the Me Clinic, I was interested in the treatment of these ugly veins in my legs that would not allow me to wear dresses or skirts or even go to the pool for fear of people seeing my ugly veins.

“I have always been fit and active, and love to exercise. I love fresh, healthy foods, and steer clear of junk food. When I was growing up, I rode horses competitively and played basketball several times a week."

"When I was in my early 20’s, I started worrying about what my body looked like. I’ve always had a womanly shape, but no matter how much I exercised, and how well I ate, I couldn’t lose weight around my thighs and stomach.

Or if I did lose weight, I looked drastically underweight with a sunken face and no breasts.

"I run my own business so finding time every fortnight to visit the salon and have my eyebrows waxed, tinted and growth serum applied is a challenge. Generally, it's left to last and after 6 weeks I visit the salon to which my therapist shrieks, asks where I've been and commands I'm back every, single, fortnight."

"I mean I just don't know how anyone has the time." 

Turning 40 didn't bother me, it wasn't about the number. It was the evident changes in my face, the loss of volume and youthfulness.

I noticed it looking back at photos. I knew that time had passed, and I was tired of looking and being told I looked tired, with or without makeup.

The thought of actually turning 40 did not bother me; it was not about the number. It was about the visible changes in my face, the loss of volume and youthfulness that was concerning me.

"My earliest memories of being overweight started many years ago, at primary school."

"I was teased right through school with all the usual nasty name calling. I tried to exercise in my teen years, bike riding, walking and swimming but it just never made any difference. Eating was my comfort zone."

"I feel like my entire life I have looked different on the exterior to how I felt on the inside."

"My eyes made me feel and look tired and much older than I was. Having inherited my fathers eyes and genetics, I always had a small degree of loose skin over the top of the eye creating a hooded look and bags of skin that hold fat around the eye, making them look puffy and under slept. No matter what I did- creams, laser, fillers, peels … nothing improved the appearance of my eyes. It made me look so much older than I actually was and felt!
