Ialways felt like an alien growing up – an alien with double H breasts. They were just too big for my frame and it was awful. So, when I first discovered breast reduction surgery at 19, I immediately knew it was what I needed to do.
Unfortunately the transformation itself wasn’t as simple. My body rejected the initial surgery, triggering a relentless 11-year journey of corrective procedures to fix the damage. At least 12 operations later and now 31, I pray that I am nearing the end of this surgical nightmare.
I grew up with my mum, my dad and my older brother. As one of the oldest girls in my year at school, I was one of the first to go through puberty. I started gaining unwanted attention from around 14 – all the boys would make jokes about my breasts. I didn’t have many relationships
