STANDING in the queue at the supermarket, Hannah Davison feels a burning sensation in her neck.
While it might be alarming for some, the is all too aware of what is causing her .
Her 36H breasts are the culprit with Hannah claiming she was ‘on the way to having a hunchback’ like the famous bellringer .
But Hannah, 33, can now hold her head (and neck) up high after having to reduce her boobs by five cup sizes to a 34C.
She flew to Wroclaw, , on April 14 to have surgery where over a kilogram of tissue was removed from her chest.
The two-hour long surgery cost £3,373 after Hannah received a discount for paying through her card.
Now five cup sizes smaller, Hannah feels the hunch at the top of her neck caused by her boobs is “already going”;; and her daily pain has “disappeared literally overnight”;;.
Hannah, who lives with her husband in Greater Manchester, says: “I felt like I was on my way to having a hunchback.
“It panicked me at first because it felt like there could be something really wrong.
“I’m a hairdresser so I’m on my feet all day and using my arms.
“I struggled to stand up for periods of time.
“I’d have a burning sensation in the top of my neck.
“I’d have to sit down for half an hour until it stopped.”;;
Hannah says that even simple tasks like eating proved a huge challenge.
“Even eating a meal before I was hunched because my boobs would mean my back was pushed down,”;; she explains.
“My posture was a huge problem.”;;
The hairdresser says that her life has totally transformed since her surgery, and she’s not the only one who has noticed the difference.
“Everyone has just been looking at them so shocked at how good they look and how it completely changed the frame of my body as well,”;; she says.
“I look smaller, they were so big and pronounced and changed the frame of body.
“Now they look a lot more natural as well and the pain has been severely reduced.
“It’s a better quality of life and I’m a lot more comfy in my own skin, which I can say I’ve never had because I’ve had big boobs since I was 14.”;;
Hannah’s back pain began when she was just 21 when she began hairdressing.
She said: “As the years have gone on – I’m 33 now – it’s just got progressively worse, and I had a hunch at the top of my back.
“Standing up and moving my arms in a certain way gave me a burning pain in the back of my neck.”;;
Hannah first heard about the procedure after a friend flew abroad for a breast augmentation in March 2025 at Europe Surgery, a clinic in Wroclaw, Poland.
She says: “My decision to go was very last minute.
“I’d wanted surgery done since I was 21 but it was always unreachable due to the price in the UK.

“I went to Mya Cosmetic Surgery about six years ago and got a quote for £8,000 for the same procedure.
“It was way out of range for me.
“The last thing I heard was that the wait list [on the NHS] was six years and you had to go through extreme mental health screening.
“I didn’t want to wait any longer.
“I had the savings anyway but I didn’t want to dip into them, so I worked six days a week for six weeks to make the money I needed for my surgery.”;;
Hannah emailed the clinic in January 2025 and had her surgery just six weeks later.
She says: “The clinic has a Facebook page with over 17,000 members so you get to see loads of different people’s point of view.
“I’m now four weeks post-op and I feel absolutely fine.
“I started back at the gym two weeks post-op.
“My best friend is a nurse and she can’t believe how neat the incisions look.”;;
Hannah stayed overnight at Europe Surgery’s clinic before staying a further five days at a hotel, while she waited to be fit to fly home to the UK.
She says: “A few times I was worried I could feel fluid inside my breast, so I just went straight in.
“All the nurses are so lovely.
“The whole experience pain wise was a five out of 10.
“The only annoyance of the whole process is the healing as you have to do nothing.
“Other than that, it was a great experience.”;;
She estimates that “just over a kilo and a half”;; of breast tissue was removed in the surgery.
She adds: “I’ve always been into the gym and training, and I feel like my body composition would never change.
“No matter how much I trained it would never make a difference.
“Now I can wear nice gym clothes.”;;
