Gillian Russell ask how we can create - or perhaps regain - our Personal Best body confidence when life takes an unexpected turn? Sarah Russell, exercise specialist in rehabilitation and coaching, talks about the extent to which her body image changed (ultimately for the better) after major surgery... while Stephie Simpson describes the impact colitis had on her own body image as she was growing up. Elaine Davidson explains the effect her hair loss had on her body confidence and how she managed to create a more positive body image. How confident are you about your teeth? If you missed out as a child would you consider braces as an adult? More adults than ever now want treatment so what's it like taking the plunge when you're older? Anna Welander explains why she decided to get train tracks as an adult. When you've undergone something major like breast cancer surgery, how do you begin to regain your body confidence? For Carol McAlpine, the decision was to have a tattoo done to cover her scar. Producer Richard Forbes went to meet Carol - just after it was completed - along with tattooist artist Kenny Howden, at the Inverness Tattoo Centre.
