Rachel Butler, who was told she needed ducts removed from her breasts by the surgeon in 2005, heard from the prosecution that her surgery had been entirely unnecessary.
Ms Butler, now 41, said: “It has been a long and trying battle, but it is worth it to see Paterson finally being convicted of his horrendous crimes and the team at Thompsons Solicitors has been unwavering in its support.
“He has ruined the lives of hundreds of men and women like me, some of whom are no longer with us because of his incompetence and greed.
“We are still waiting to be financially compensated for what has happened to us, and we demand that Spire now takes seriously the responsibility it has to me, and all of the people they’ve let down.”
