Patient Reveals her Surgery Journey to National Newspapers

    BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, August 14, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rhinoplasty patient Lowri Ryland has revealed the story behind her surgery to the national newspapers and leading consumer magazine take 5.

Lowri, from Caerphilly in Wales, sought rhinoplasty surgery from The Hospital Group after a bully taunted her profile on social networking site facebook.

The stunning brunette, 21, said: "I was so upset by the message. I could just imagine people talking about me and it really knocked my confidence. "I'd always hated my nose. It was too big, a bit off-centre and had a big bump on it." Having saved up to pay for a boob job, Lowri instead decided to plump for a nose job following the cruel remarks online.

The operation in 2008 at The Hospital Group's Dolan Park clinic in Bromsgrove has given Lowri a whole new outlook on life. She said: "It was a few weeks after my surgery had healed that I bumped into the facebook bully on a night out. She apologised and said she didn't think I would take it that far - but I'm glad she made those comments online. "If she hadn't written that message maybe I'd have never got it done and I'm so pleased I did. "I'm much more confident now and happier in my own skin."

Lowri, who has just graduated from her Law degree at Cardiff University, has been inundated with compliments since her surgery and has since made the final of a beauty contest.
And it's not just women like Lowri who are seeking rhinoplasty.

The number of people opting for surgery has soared over the past five years by a staggering 320 per cent. According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), an unbelievable 34,100 procedures were performed in 2008.

Boosting self-confidence is said to be the major reasons for people to undergo surgery, just like Lowri.

For those looking to hone their body, liposuction, breast enlargements and tummy tucks are just a few of the operations available.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group said: "Lowri is just one of our very happy patients. At The Hospital Group, people can be assured of a dedicated, professional service, with guaranteed results and a limited waiting time.
