When I told my husband I was planning to have implants he thought i was quite mad- he liked me as I was, and he couldn't understand why I would want to go ahead with unneccessary surgery. But when he realised I was determined, he told me to look into  it all very carefully , and choose the right surgeon.

I have had some facial surgery in the past, including a poor rhinoplasty by Dai Davies and needed no reminder that I had to choose the right surgeon very carefully.

I looked at many different internet sites on breast enlargements, read books , sent away for CVs, and after very careful consderation  I decided to make an appointment with Peter Butler.

He was so helpful, made me feel completely at ease, took time to answer all my questions,gave me lots of literature to read and  told me to go away and think it all over. Absolutely no hard sell there !

I had made appointments to see other surgeons, and went to them, but Mr Butler was so much more helpful and understanding that it wasn't a difficult decision to choose him. I made another appointment to see him and finalise my operation. That time he helped me choose type and size of enlargements. I decided to have 325 cc high profile implants, placed under the muscle with crease incisions. That would take me from a 36A/B to a 36 C/D

Understandably there was quite a waiting list for operations. However one of Mr Butler's staff told me that there was a lady who had booked an operation with Mr Butler, but she was a smoker and he wouldn't operate on her until she had given up, and if she hadn't stopped in the next two weeks I could have her operation time.

Fortunately for me, but not her she didn't stop smoking and my operation was scheduled for the end of October at The Princess Grace hospital.

The hospital was faultless, clean, modern and with very helpful staff and  I had a very comfortable en-suite room.

Mr Butler and the anaethetist I would be having came to see me just before my operation and then I was taken to the operating theatre, and given an anaesthetic.

The next thing I knew I was back in my room feeling a bit sore and uncomfortable, with a drip and drains in, but the nurse in attendance showed me how to control the level of pain relief and that was a great help. Mr Butler came to see me again, and told me the operation had gone very well, and I should be able to go home the next day.

My anxious husband arrived soon after with a lovely bunch of flowers. He had a look at my new boobs and told me how good they looked. He stayed in a nearby hotel that night (we live in the Midlands ) and came the next morning to collect me.

When I arrived home I went straight to bed and stayed there until the next day. I had taken two weeks off work to  recover. I'm a company director and the second week  I was able to work at home on the computer. 

Over the next few days I bacame a bit concerned that I had chosen implants that had made me too big, but it was just the swelling that came after the operation, and after about three weeks I was absolutely delighted with my new boobs - and still am. They were  a surprise to me every time I got undressed for about the first six months, but now they have become just part of me and I feel as though I have always had them.

I can now wear low-cut evening dresses, swimsuits,beautiful lingerie, in fact anything I want to. I am so pleased I went ahead and had the operation, and chose the very best surgeon to do it.
