Lou Newton, 34, had been enjoying life since the birth of her daughter. After gaining weight during pregnancy, she worked hard to get back into shape, but found that losing the weight also meant losing breast volume.
“Getting back into shape was really hard. I lost the weight, but I lost my chest too. So I just thought ‘I’m going to do something about it’.”
When Lou decided to have surgery, her daughter was around six and at school. After spending so much time focused on being a mum, she felt it was time to do something for herself.
“At the time I decided on my surgery my daughter was about six. She was at school and I felt it was time for a ‘bit of me time’ focussing on me after intense baby time and do something for me for a change.”
Lou chose Transform after meeting with a patient coordinator.
“I went there to talk through what was on my mind and it was just a chat. I didn’t feel like I was being sold anything at all.”
She says she never felt pressured and felt comfortable throughout the process.
“I didn’t at any point feel pressurised, I felt comfortable and a nice atmosphere.”
Her consultation with her surgeon gave her the information she needed to make her decision.
“After that initial consultation the meeting with my surgeon was full of facts, he explained the procedure and what I could expect. He was very to the point, I wasn’t being talked into something.”
Lou says that her experience after surgery exceeded her expectations, including the aftercare she received.
“After my surgery all my expectations were exceeded. I had been told the facts and in the end everything that I was expecting was exceeded. Even my aftercare, it was really great from start to finish.”
She also appreciated the friendly atmosphere throughout her time at Transform.
“Even from the moment I was waking up in the hospital it all felt really friendly, the whole experience was great.”
For Lou, the biggest change has been how she feels about herself.
“You really can’t underestimate the power of feeling good and what it can do for you.”
“When you feel good on the outside you feel good on the inside. I really do believe that now and I never felt that way before my operation.”
She feels that having breast enlargement helped her reconnect with a part of herself after becoming a mum.
Looking back, Lou says she is happy she made the decision for herself.
“I know you’re not supposed to say it, but I think I look great and I feel like me again. I did it for me.”
I did it for me.
Lou’s experience is personal to her and does not represent the experience or results that every patient will have. Individual results vary.
Breast enlargement is surgery and carries potential risks. Anyone considering breast surgery should have a consultation with a suitably qualified surgeon to discuss their individual circumstances, expectations and treatment options.
Sometimes having a child means you lose a bit of yourself and in a way Transform gave me that back.
