Would like to say a big THANK YOU for ever one who has shared there story here it has helped me so much . I do not any one that has had a BR so this site has been great for tips and advice . OK I am 37 and been wanting this done for a long time tried on the NHS but that did not get me any were and was a waste of time. So decided to pay for it myself which was not easy as its a hell off a lot of money .Once I got the money together I went to my GP and he recommended eva mithoff. She was my first consultation but I liked her and so did my mum so went for it . The only thing is that she will not show before or after pic,s which I would have like to have seen .But she has a great reputation so fingers crossed lol . Have my pre op on the 12th nov hopefully ever thing will go ok bit nervous . Stopped smoking on the 5th which is only 2 days at this point really hard as I am nervous as it is but has to be done . Oh my girls are a saggy 32 G hoping for a 32D .Will put pic,s up when I get some will have to ask one of my friends to help lol not xxxx

hey ladies hope you all had a great christmas and new year !!! Sorry I have not been in touch been so tired had a rash over my body which was driving me mad could not sleep for itching for 4 weeks but its cleared up know. So I LOVE MY NEW BOOBS thank god it was just a big shock at first. Been taking it easy and resting alot .The boobs are still sensitive the right one is the naughty one it is still swollen and slightly brused .About 5 days ago I was taking my tape off and gunk ran out of my downward scar it was mostly blood but I had a hole that you could stick a pen in about 2cm when to hospital and nurse cleaned it for me there was no infection thank god seen my ps today and she thinks I was spiting a stitch the hole is nearly mended together to use inadine and plaster so glad that it looks better got new flesh coloured tape today which looks better. Put all my pics on be glad to delete them from my phone was so scared incase I lost it and everyone saw my frankenstein boob lol x Hope you,s are all well and healing nicely xxxxx

Lexi D 30 Nov 2012
Hey huni, glad the op went well & your'e ok. Been thinking of you. It must be a total shock to the system seeing completely diffrent boobs after surgery...but you look ace & sure it's gonna take time to get used to the new perkier you! Healing hugs to you xx
RosieRoo 30 Nov 2012
I think they look perfect!! They will drop and fluff a bit and they won't seem so small to you.
Echeal 30 Nov 2012
I felt exactly the same. Now.. I think they're too big!!!! I am 3 weeks post op, and hoping they are still swollen and will go down. My belly was swollen. I went up a back size and was wearing a 34e I used to be 32h. I am now back in a 32. The operation will make your whole body swollen. Give your self time to heal, and get used to your new body. Relax and take care of yourself, you will love your boobs, I promise!!!
cariad 30 Nov 2012
check out my belly puctures honey and you only have to read other posts on here to know that our tummies swell and even when they go down they look bigger because they are not over shadowed by boobs! we all freak out, for me personally even though I have nursed hundreds of patients post operatively nothing prepared me for seeing my own body looking so different. We may have wanted and prepared for this for years but the change is still instantaneous regardless. We go to sleep with big boobs, next we are waking up completely different. Its like shock even though we thought we had prepared ourselves. Nobody tells us what to expect during the first few days and weeks. Its shocking that we have to hear so much from the experts about risks/complications but no one tells us what to expect! I am quite annoyed about a few things especially after paying so much but all that matters right now is letting time pass by, healing and getting a little better everyday. You will love them when you adjust. This can take weeks even months. The noobs don't even feel real for a while! xx
