Famous Page 3 model chose Rochdale based Profile Cosmetic Surgery

Date published: 15/11/2004

In the late nineties a young 19-year-old by the name of Joanne Hicks arrived on the topless modelling scene resplendent with her 32DD breasts. Jo went on to become one of the most in demand Page 3 girls ever and was voted the most popular Page 3 girl by Sun readers for 25 consecutive months in 2001/02.

However, the passage of time and working out at the gym meant that Jo's breasts lost the fullness they previously had and this began to eat away at her confidence and self esteem and so recently, now age 26, she took the decision to have cosmetic surgery to restore her breasts to the size they had been when she first started modelling.

For someone whose living depends on her breasts it was obviously very important to find the right surgeon to carry out the procedure. Jo did her homework and chose to have consultations with four different surgeons. Three of the surgeons did not give her the confidence that she was looking for, being very brief in answering her questions and basically just saying she should trust them. The fourth, Mr Lawry Iregbulem of Profile Cosmetic Surgery, stood out head and shoulders above the rest and helped Jo to feel relaxed, reassured and comfortable immediately. "Mr Iregbulem answered all my questions in depth, he is such a nice man and really put me at ease. His professionalism and attention to detail was clearly evident", said Jo.

When the time for the operation arrived Jo could have been forgiven for being more than usually apprehensive given her living was at stake. Surprisingly, Jo recalls being excited rather than nervous, she said: "The hospital and the staff were superb and Mr Iregbulem had given me so much confidence I couldn't wait for the operation to start."

Jo was on the operating table for just over one hour and had implants under the muscle. She stayed overnight in the hospital and has nothing but praise for the staff who attended her every need, including alleviating the inevitable discomfort that follows any operation.

Jo got her first look at her new breasts when the bandages came off the following morning and was overwhelmed with the results: "I wanted my new breasts to still look natural and I had been careful not to choose implants that would be too big. I could not have been more delighted when I saw them: I had the breasts back that I had when I was 19, it made me so happy, and it has really helped my self esteem and confidence."

I asked Jo what she would say to other women thinking of having cosmetic surgery, she said: "The most important thing is to do it for yourself. Having decided it's what you want the next important step is to choose the right surgeon and I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Iregbulem of Profile Cosmetic Surgery."

The people who probably know Jo's most important assets better than most, the photographers she works with, say her breasts are now even better than when she first arrived on the modelling scene age 19. High praise indeed for Mr Iregbulem and Profile Cosmetic Surgery.

Cheryl Butterworth owner of Rochdale based Profile said: "It is obviously great to have such a high profile satisfied customer. Jo is a lovely girl and we are delighted at how pleased she is with the results. However, cosmetic surgery is no longer the exclusive preserve of the rich, it is now widely available and everyone who wishes can now take positive steps to enhance their appearance."
