Sarah Flowers cosmetic plastic surgery story

All my life I had been teased about the size of my breasts, over the years I have bought every new invention on the market that swore to improve the size of my breasts and give me a cleavage to die for! From wonder bras to Gel filled bras even those chicken fillet inserts but still every year it was the same, I couldn't hide the fact that I had nothing to fill my bikinis with when I went on holiday.

I had said for years that if I won the lottery the first thing I would have done is my boobs and had left it as being a pipe dream until about 2 months before my 30th birthday my husband told me that for my birthday I was getting a boob job. I was totally stunned and very dismissive at first thinking it was some big joke until he explained that he had been researching the whole process and that he had found a company called Europa that specialized in breast augmentation in Prague.

After I had come round to the idea I felt I had to go and have a consultation with Libby as I had a lot of questions to answer and I was very apprehensive about going to a strange country to have an operation without any of my family or friends.

Once I had been to see Libby I was totally ready for Prague she had such an understanding about her and made me feel really at ease about the whole process going through the stages and answering all my questions.

I flew out to Prague and John met me at the airport and took me back to the apartment which I was overjoyed with, it was a lovely apartment not far from the clinic and the airport and I was so pleased that I was sharing with a woman called Pam. Pam was also going to the hospital to have her operation the next day so we had a chat about our fears and hopes then swiftly went to bed to be ready for the next day.

It was nothing like what I expected when I arrived at the hospital the next day, unlike our English hospitals this clinic was very clean and modern with a friendly atmosphere I was taken for some tests and then I saw the consultant that was going to do my operation. We discussed and finalized the size of my implants and then I was taken upstairs to get ready for surgery. After the surgery I extremely sore and bandaged up like a mummy so I was totally unaware of how big I had become but I knew instantly that there was a lot more than before and so it must have been worth it.

It took a few days before the pain started to subside and I had the bandages removed so I could see my new breasts and at that point I knew I had done the right thing. The rest of the week seemed to drag as I was so excited about showing off my new assets back home but I'm very thankful to Pam and John for helping me through it and taking me out to see a little bit of Prague.

It has now been 2 months since my operation and my scars although have not gone have settled down quite nicely and I have just come back from a fortnights holiday where I wore with pride my new 34d cup bikinis all I can say is thank you Europa.
