My Breasts looked like they belonged to an old woman.

3rd January 2008

Instead of her dreams coming true her life plummeted into a spiral of depression and self loathing.  She explained ‘I had been in pain from the bandages and wasn’t allowed to remove them but they were smelly. I knew there had been a problem with my breast surgery as soon as I saw the results.’ When she complained to the surgeon he offered her uplift and said his office would be in touch.  She never heard from him again. 

 

In the meantime her name came up on the public health list and she was offered an appointment to see Mr John Pereira. She decided to go along to see what he could do. ‘He was very diplomatic during the consultation but it was obvious he was appalled by the surgery she had. I had so much confidence in him, I just wished I had seen him first.’

 

Mr Pereira gave her breast uplift and removed excess skin and replaced the implants with the correct size. Now a happy 34DD and thrilled with her profile, Siobhan feels she had been given her life back. She stated ‘If I’d have known how bad things would have become after the first surgery I wouldn’t have had it all. But after meeting Mr Pereira my faith in surgery and surgeons is restored.’
