Mother whose breasts went from an F cup to a 'saggy' B after she shed her baby weight spends over £10,000 on implants inspired by NASA technology 

  • Ruth Davies, 38, went from an F to a B cup after breastfeeding her children
  • Shed two stone through fitness and healthy eating, but her breasts 'vanished'  
  • Breast uplift and augmentation cost £10,900 and saw her go up to an E-cup
  • B-Lite implants are 30 per cent lighter than traditional all-silicone options
  • Made up of tiny hollow microparticles fixed and suspended in silicone gel
  • Same technology used to reduce weight of protective tiles on the Space Shuttle

A mum-of-three desperately unhappy with her 'saggy' post-baby breasts has spent more than £10,000 on pioneering implants inspired by NASA technology.

Ruth Davies, 38, from Oxfordshire, says her once ample bust 'vanished' after breastfeeding her twin girls, now 11, and her son, now six, and by the time she'd shed her post baby weight the mum had gone from an F to a B cup. 

Now the self-confessed 'gym bunny' has her confidence back after undergoing surgery to boost her breasts with ultra light implants inspired by the technology NASA used to build the Space Shuttle.

The mum of three says her breasts were droopy and flat after breastfeeding and her fluctuating weight took its toll on her figure.  

But after surgery Ruth, who is now an E cup, says she's once again happy to don tight gym gear for running and chest pressing in the weight room, and is finally confident enough to wear a bikini again.

'I had always been quite confident with my body and my ample DD bosom. Then at 27 I had twins, which I breastfed for a couple of months,' she said. 

'After that I lost two stone, dropping from a size 14, with dieting and running around after toddlers. My boobs just vanished. 

'They were fairly saggy and I wasn't happy with them but I just thought it was one of those things and mums like me didn't really get boob jobs. 

'Five years later I had a son and I breastfed him for a whole year. My boobs were a size F at this point, and when I stopped and I got back into health and fitness, lifting weights and clean eating, I lost quite a bit of body fat.

'The more I went to the gym and the more weight I lost, the worse it became. 

'My breasts shrank to a B, they were very droopy and were completely flat against my breast bone. 

'When I lay in bed at night they would be under my armpits.' 

Ruth, who works at a marketing agency, says she was initially put off surgery by the idea of having over-inflated breasts synonymous with glamour models.

'In my head it was just people like Pamela Anderson who had them done,' she said. 

'But I started speaking to women in the gym and mums at the school gates who told me they had also had work, and it opened my eyes. I had no idea.' 

Ruth says she was desperate to maintain a 'natural' look, and decided to proceed with surgery after she was introduced to B-Lite Implants. 

The more the mother-of-three went to the gym to work out the flatter her breasts became. Ruth is seen here a week before her operation in August 2016

The implants are 30 per cent lighter than traditional all-silicone options and were introduced to the UK market last year. 

They are made up of tiny hollow microparticles fixed and suspended in silicone gel - the same technology used by NASA to reduce the weight of protective ceramic tiles on the Space Shuttle.

It is hoped the super-light Israeli-designed implant will reduce the need for follow-up operations in future, as there is less risk of sagging. 

Ruth said: 'I'm 38 and a mum of three. I didn't want to be walking around with the boobs of a 16 year old, and I also didn't want to have droopy boobs again by the time I was 60 or 70.' 

Ruth underwent a £10,900 breast uplift and augmentation at London Bridge Plastic Surgery in September last year.

She said: 'For me it wasn't about a new body, it was about getting my old body back. 

'The pregnancy and the breastfeeding really stole my boobs but I feel like I've got them back now. 

'I'm over the moon with how natural they are. 

'Not many people know what I've had done and sometimes I forget I've had them done too. 

'I'm back doing chest pressing in the weight room at the gym and I feel totally confident again.'

Ruth's quick recovery was aided by manual lymphatic drainage at the clinic - dubbed 'breast stroking' - which involves a light massage to reduce swelling.

Surgeon Christopher Inglefield, who carried out Ruth's procedure and was the first surgeon in the UK to use B-Lites, said: 'Ruth lost a lot of breast tissue following a twin pregnancy and then a third child.  

'The B-Lite was an obvious choice for implant because women are increasingly looking for a more natural breast size and shape. 

'The technology means Ruth will still get the same fullness but as the implant is lighter, she will not get the same sagging over time that is associated with all-silicone implants.'
