Ruth aged 71 yrs.
I had been on Hormonal Replacement Therapy for 12 years due to menopause, which had resulted in my breasts exploding to an F cup. On my small frame it was revolting – I hated my breasts passionately. I felt so out of proportion and unbalanced – exercise had become difficult and I had indentations in my shoulders like my grandmother – oh how I hated that!
My breasts were dictating my wardrobe. The clothing I liked I could not wear, if I wanted to do the buttons up! My large breasts made me feel like a big woman.
The procedure itself was long although I watched a DVD throughout to pass the time.
There were times when I felt some pain – similar to a big workout at the gym – but nothing I couldn’t bear and certainly nothing compared to childbirth – and that was 50 years ago! I still remember that well!
The first day after the operation, I rested. I was out of bed but resting-up.
After that it was business as usual! No down time, but I did wear a support garment for two weeks. Bit of a granny corset but nothing too dramatic.
I just have one thing to say, and that is: “it is absolutely worth it! I am thrilled – I can’t believe I am so tiny and beautiful again".
I am now a C cup and am so proud of my breasts. I love them! -And so does my husband.
No one noticed what I had done. They just said I had lost weight. GREAT!
Dr Paul Salmon has changed my life!

I was always conscious of my large breasts. I could not find clothing I liked that fitted over them and I had to wear large unflattering sizes.
The love of my life kept calling me names referring to my breasts. I wore a crop top constantly to hide them which again drew comments from my partner. Prior to the procedure I was really nervous. In fact on arrival I was going to bolt out the door – however Dr Paul Salmon and his awesome team seemed to understand exactly how I was feeling and instilled a sense of – “Yes I can do this, this is for me!” And I was given medication to relax me, which worked beautifully.
The whole procedure was kind of surreal. It wasn’t painful – just a tugging sensation. It wasn’t comfortable but it wasn’t painful – it was just weird!
After the operation I was really tired but I had worked long hours building up to the procedure as I work in television.
I did go for the recommended walk but I was really tired and I just wanted to get back to my bed. I wasn’t in pain though. I was tender – as if I had done 100 too many sit-ups, and messy with the draining fluid, but nothing I couldn’t handle – and I am a 'wuss' at the best of times!
I am an emotional type of person. I was warned about the release of oestrogen due to the procedure – (oestrogen is stored in the fat so when it is removed by liposculpture, oestrogen is released causing a pre-menstrual tension type of scenario).
I only told one friend I was having the procedure as I thought people generally might be judgmental.
I was certainly tender for quite some time afterwards and I felt very trussed up.
My breasts did not decrease dramatically. Probably I went down a cup size which is what I wanted.
I went out and bought lovely bras. My clothes fitted for the first time since puberty!
I put on weight after my procedure and I did put it on my breasts but it was just where I was at in my life. Dr Salmon had warned me this would happen if I put on weight.
Having now lost the weight again I am pleased to say it has come off my breasts.
Proportionately now they are still smaller. I feel great about my breasts now.
Simple things really affect you - I was in America and there was a heat wave and I could just wear a tank top and no bra. The top came down to expose my cleavage. Normally I would have pulled the top up but I feel so good about my breasts I left the top as it was.
Dr Paul Salmon is just lovely, but he is staunch as well. He was cross with me when I put on weight and did his best to encourage me to lose it which I did. I will one day have my stomach liposculptured as well.
