Real Weddings With Sara – Feeling Your Best for the Big Day
Hosted by award-winning wedding expert and author Sara Kennedy, Real Weddings With Sara explores every part of the wedding journey, from planning inspiration to the personal choices couples make along the way.
In this episode of the Bridal Suite Series, Sara is joined by Dr. Salman from Aurelia Dublin, Ireland’s first internationally accredited private hospital dedicated to cosmetic and bariatric surgery, located in Park West, Dublin.
With more than 25 years of experience and over 35,000 Irish patients supported on their health and wellness journeys, Aurelia offers consultant-led care in a fully certified hospital setting — from initial consultation through to long-term aftercare.
Sara and Dr. Salman discuss a topic that can often be sensitive for couples in the lead-up to their wedding day: how people approach feeling their best in their own skin. From lighter “tweakments” to more significant procedures such as breast surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, and eyelid surgery, the conversation explores the options available, the importance of informed decisions, and why personalised medical advice is key.
This discussion focuses on confidence, wellbeing, and responsible care, highlighting the importance of expert guidance and realistic expectations for anyone considering treatment. If this is something you want to know more about, this one is for you! Dr. Salman answers all your cosmetic questions!
