情態副詞

So, Nelly, you've had this procedure, too.

I had my breast reduction about seven years ago,

Right, so you're quite a petite frame as well. Yeah.

So I felt like I was very out of proportion.

We actually have a picture of you. Oh, yeah.

So when I found out what breast reduction surgery was, I booked

to see a surgeon that week and I had the surgery the week after.

That's very quickly, to go from consultation to surgery. Yeah.

So it was about four or five days after surgery,

I felt what I can describe as a ping under my left boob.

I wasn't supposed to, but I took off all the dressings

and it looked like a stitch had popped and my breast was bulging

through this hole in the bottom of my boob.

We have a picture of that, too. You have that? We do.

And it was pushing and it was hurting, because you can see my skin

is trying to hold itself together but not quite winning the battle.

We called the surgeon straight away and he saw me, I think,

And he said, "It's actually nothing to worry about."

But then, I think it was only a day or two after that,

I started to feel these pings everywhere, at every corner and

every crease around my nipples, under my boobs, the sides

and the centres - just ping, ping, ping! -

And that opening had happened everywhere.

Every single line and crease and where the skin

had been sewn back together. And so what did your surgeon do then?

He suspected that my body was rejecting the internal stitches.

So I was left with just open wounds over both breasts

We thought the best thing to do would be to remove

all these stitches and just start again, basically.

and he said the only thing he would really do for us was to let

but that's when you can then look at scar revision,

because I was going to be left with really significant scars.

So I then spent the next eight months healing these open wounds.

I had to go to hospital three or four times a week to get

redressed, which was painful enough as it was.

So I spent a long time just trying to recover from what my body

had kind of done. So that was eight months. It's a long time.

And then came the scars. So the scars were much bigger than what

So, two or three years ago, I found a surgeon who would do scar revision

surgery, so that was two operations to cut out those scars.

Yeah, I mean, my scars are still pretty significant.

You just can't know how your body will heal.

or you could heal perfectly in a matter of weeks.

Regardless of all that happening, are you more comfortable

with how your boobs are now or how they were before?

For me, the size they were before was really taking away

I was just so cripplingly self-conscious.

that's been my life for the past seven years... You don't regret it.

We've got a stat, actually, from the survey that's relevant to that.

So it was 62% of people surveyed felt that cosmetic surgery is fine

in principle but were worried that it could go wrong.

Yeah, that's very unusual for that to happen, actually.

I think, you know, another interesting statistic

for this particular operation is it has a very high satisfaction rate.

The important thing is to be well prepared for it.

And that's really where the consultations come in, when you go

There's lots of really good guidance on websites such

as the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and

Aesthetic Surgeons, or the British Association of Aesthetic Surgeons.

They've all got guides on there about what the potential risks are,

what the aftercare is like, what your recovery

will be like. It's all there on the website.
