Three weeks before the operation

But things have changed. I no longer work for the NHS and now work for a private plastic surgery company with some of the most famous named surgeons in Britain. (Check out Plastic Surgery Partners website). So now Instead of reading about It, I can see it with my own eyes. It's not nearly as bad as I had expected and read about. I guess I had always imagined It to be older women with more money than sense getting a face lift to make them look like Joan Rivers and young girls wanting boob jobs to be like Pamela Anderson. But while I did see that type of person over 99% of people we see are just your average everyday women ranging from young to old. Some requiring and wanting more 'work' than others. Most, once they explained their reasoning for the procedure they wanted to undertake I could relate to and understand. Also seeing our surgeons at work I soon realised these 'major' surgery operations were minor procedures In the scheme of things.

So when I was asked "Would you get anything done?" the answer was easy....the one thing I constantly joked about...Liposuction. Seeing and knowing how easy this procedure was and seeing the before and after effects of our patients, I wanted It for myself. There was no need to think about It. I didn’t need to work with Mr Vadodaria any longer to know he was an expert In this field. So It was decided I was going to do It! But he would have the final decision on whether or not I might be suitable for the surgery.

Katie's Diary - Why Liposuction

I'm 28 years old and have noticed the last 5-6 years my waist line slowly creeping up. I live an active life style going to the gym 3-4 times a week and have a healthy diet. But I am not going to lie, I do like the occasional dessert and probably more than the occasional wine!
I do try to cut down on these things from time to time to keep a healthy weight but….

I went from a perfect size 12 to a snug fitting 14 within this 5-6 year period. Some would say "that's not big for a 5'11''" frame or ”You carry It well". I also now find It frustrating seeing my "skinny" friends not having to worry about what they eat. I personally think of my self as a tall average sized woman who doesn't particularly look good In skinny jeans but can, with the right makeup and clothes, dress myself to the occasion with confidence.


My weight Is not something I obsessed about but I did rather wish that I had less of the weight and fewer curves. And of course, I do have a good moan with the girls occasionally over a bottle of wine where we would all poke and prod our "problem areas". We would all joke saying "Yeah, If I had the money I would get LIpo" but never followed It through. I guess I couldn't financially justify It and also the media surrounding this type of plastic surgery can be very negative.
