imagine a scarless breast lift

"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! 

"I reached the mature age of 63 and felt happy with my fitness level and the strength and shape of my body. I have always kept active and balanced my lifestyle with healthy eating, plenty of sleep and lots of laughter, but I was unhappy with my face. My jowls, my loose neck and very drooping eyes. No amount of exercise could fix that."

"I looked into what kind of cosmetic surgery would suit my situation and decided on a lower jaw and neck lift, as I didn't feel I needed a whole face lift.

At the same time I decided to have a blepharoplasty (eye lift) because for someone who laughs a lot, I looked quite sad. The results were amazing and I felt like I had gained 15 years."

“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.

"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."

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 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."
