Had my first surgery with Alan Park in 2016 (Breast Augmentation & Lift) Second Augmentation in January 2021 and a breast implant adjustment revision in May 2021. Every single time I've been to see him he's been brilliant really professional and makes you feel at ease. Loved my results from my first surgery and I'm already loving the results for my recent surgery. I pretty much gave him free reign of size both times and just said what I was hoping to achieve and he's done that everytime, he really knows what he's doing!
Well that's it! Finally had my BA yesterday and I'm now 11 hours post op. Not feeling too bad to be honest. Didn't sleep much last night..felt like jet lag from the anesthesia! Very pleased with the result and keep having a peek down my pj top ! The pain I'm experiencing is more muscle at the moment. It's bare able though with the help of meds Updated on 20 Aug 2016: Updated on 21 Aug 2016: Suffered with burning sensation yesterday afternoon and through the night in my left breast. Pain relief didn't touch it. The tightness that comes and goes I would liken to when your milk comes in after giving birth. Better nights sleep last night. Sleeping almost upright, finding that's helping. Breaststroke are softening slightly and have noticed swelling is stating to reduce. Still feeling lethargic so it's a definite do nothing day today Updated on 22 Aug 2016: Had really strange intermittent buzzing feeling in my right breast last night. It lasted for an hour or so then disappeared. Much better nights sleep. Finding getting in/out bed or from lying to sitting is pulling around my armpits so have adopted some of the most obscure sliding techniques! Feel much more human today have managed to wash and put on my own sports bra! I have achieved! Still feeling tired though so just sleeping when I need to. Lovingredients the look of my breasts, the pics just don't do them justice. I'm liking the new areola/nipples look too, hoping that stays! As soon as I get a visitor I will post more pics Updated on 23 Aug 2016: Return of the sting/burn in left breast yesterday and noticed that because I'm trying to avoid using that arm that the muscle was stiffening and hand clench felt weak. Odd because the right side is recovering at the rate of knots! Felt up to and managed a slow walk out yesterday and felt good for it. Still no bowel movement despite the fluids/Prunes and senokot! Next stop rocket factory! No meds needed through the night, comfortable upright sleep , I feel it helps with gravity, moving about pain and meds free so far today. Breasts feels like they're becoming more me rather than glued on objects that are just in the way. Loving how good they're making me feel Updated on 24 Aug 2016: So..last night my twins made it through the night with nothing to help either them or me sleep! Bowels have finally been opened, complete meds free for over 24hrs and a short walk in the sunshine to the coffee shop for an americano. Did receive some odd looks though as my hair that hadn't been washed for a week was neatly tucked behind my ears and I was sporting my baggy gym top and 3/4 leggings in 29° of heat...there was no way my unshaven legs were coming out as well as being in public with no makeup !! Who cares though?? I was out and nobody knew that the big grin was because I'm almost back in the land of the living and my top is hiding my precious new bigger/fuller breasts!! Can't see any physical changes from yesterday so pic. Did notice that when I took my bra off that the "buzzing" in my right breast had made an appearance again. ROM in my left arm is almost as good as the right now a though will need the help of my boyfriend this weekend to shave both armpits as can't quite see how I can do that myself yet. Surgical stockings came off today as I'm more mobile now and am checking breasts lots for any changes positive or negative . At a bit of a paranoid stage thinking something may go wrong with them Updated on 25 Aug 2016: I've gone into paranoia mode! Things have gone so well that I'm looking for problems now. I've become completely obsessed with looking at my boobs! I'm feeling slightly spaced out today and quite tired so instantly I start thinking there's a problem brewing..I've noticed that my left breast is definitely the slower twin in terms of swelling reduction. I've been for a gentle walk because I'm wondering if being stuck at home is heightening my sensitivity with everything physically and emotionally Updated on 27 Aug 2016: Finally managed to have a bath yesterday after a weeks strip washing. Not because I couldn't but because I was scared to. I shook with nerves and shaving my underarms was an experience! Trying to do it when not lifting up too high was like trying to feel your way in the dark. Breasts felt strange just sitting there, they look like they belong but just don't feel like it. Today I went shopping with my OH looking at bikinis for our holiday in 2 weeks ..now that was exciting! I'm so so pleased with my size..I think it suits me perfectly and I don't feel I'm suffering with boob greed but I did think they were going to be a little bigger than they are at the moment ..just hoping I haven't got too much more swelling to lose. My left breast is still quite swollen in comparison to my right. Feeling pretty good today in the grand scheme of things, more energy and movement and so looking forward to enjoying the new me. For the first time ever I look at my body and think I look good! Latest pic..my left nipple looks slightly turned out but it's not ..thinks it's the angle I took it at Updated on 28 Aug 2016: Couldn't resist trying and buying a couple of sexy little bralet's to be kept in waiting for my holidays in 2 weeks. Never thought I'd see the day!! Thought they'd tide me over until I'm measured and have an idea of what my bra size will be. All good today, just a bit of sunburn type stinging, more so in my right breast which surprises me as this has been the best behaved of the two. Updated on 30 Aug 2016: 1st day back and so tiring. Driving was better than I thought it would be but I did cushion the seat belt strap. My back was aching a bit. Nobody noticed any difference but then they wouldn't..I've been wearing heavily padded bras. Apart from mild sunburn sting my breastson felt ok..Although the minute I walked in through the door my sports bra was off for some relief!! Post op appointment tomorrow Updated on 31 Aug 2016: Consultant very happy with result. Talked through before and after pics and concerns. He reminded me I'm still healing and despite being back at work to take things easy. Mega happy with result so far. Felt tired all day. Mild burning sensation all day in both breasts relaxing after work and trying to ignore the mounting dust!! Updated on 2 Sep 2016: Happy boob day to me and my girls! 2 weeks ago today I want sure I could look at them let alone touch them (minor meltdown as foreign objects had taken residence in my poor excuse for mammary glands). My God I wished I'd done it years ago! Feeling sexy and confident. Went back to work this week but kept it simple and office based. Tired and bit achy at the end of it but loving the new me Updated on 3 Sep 2016: Decided today that I would pop along to have my new breasts measured to see where I'm at. I have been told I measure at a 34d but to use it as a guide as we all know that bra sizes vary from store to store. Odd thing was that I tried on 34d and 34dd in the same store ,same bra and fitted both nicely, don't quite know what to make of that! Be interested to see if my breasts reduce in size any more. I hope not they are a perfect size as they are now for me. Irritable burning sensation across both breasts all day today. I'm seeing that as a good healing sign . Got back into my pj's and spending the rest of he day resting up and watching tv Updated on 6 Sep 2016: I've never been so obsessed with breasts! As soon as I'm home from work sports bra has to come off..the tightness is sore and restrictive. Thinking of switching to bralet's. Burning sensation has become more in the background today. Mild strangeness still to knowing these babies are here to stay! I've been lightly applying bio oil to the scars. Tried sleeping on my side last night. Slight stabbing pain but soon settled...did feel odd though. I put a pillow under my breast to support a little Updated on 22 Sep 2016: 3 weeks post op with the ok from my ps I took my beautiful girls on holiday to Turkey. I was very careful and applied factor 50 for the first few days then dropped to factor 30 with 50 on the scars and nipples. The heat made them feel like they had swollen more so initially but they soon settled down. Was such a great feeling sunbathing top less, I even stood up top less! And to top it i walked along the beach top less!! At 48!!. I'm out of support bras now and into pretty bralet's. My scars are healing so well. Bio oil is the way forward! Lying on my side still feels a bit weird but getting there. My OH is as pleased as I am. He can't believe how natural they look and feel. My confidence had soared. I'm happy beyond belief. I've a couple of people I considered friends who have been less than so, hard to get your head around, my OH thinks jealousy..I hope not. Still experiencing slight sunburn sting and boobs feel heavy in the morning ( holding them for a few minutes helps to regulate) little bit of bruise lie feeling just under left breast (rib area) from what I've read it's normal. Updated on 3 Oct 2016: Normal service is being resumed! Post op review today and PS as happy as I am with result and recovery. Had a mini meltdown at the weekend as my boyfriend took a pic that made my boobs look a bit wonky, I panicked and it was all for nothing. Boyfriend now sacked from taking pics til he can do it properly!! Girls very much feel a part of my body now instead of being on the outside looking in. Practically full range of movement back in arms. No more morning boob or sunburn sting. Nipples still a little sensitive but I quite like that as I've never had any feeling before lol still obsessed with every little thing to do with my girls and love every inch of them. OH loves the constant stream of pics he receives on daily basis..bit like a new mom showing off every little change in her new born ! Hard to believe it's only been 6 weeks! Comfortably wearing 34dd underwired bras now . Look back at my old boobs and find it hard to believe that was me Updated on 3 Oct 2016: Lying flat and side profile Updated on 14 Oct 2016: I'm not going to bore you with a ton of pics of my girls in every outfit I've got . No pain whatsoever, my nipples feel normal again, in fact I've been lucky as had no feeling before my BA but now I do! Bonus! They are soft and feel great, perfect size for me, not as big as selfies portray but feel full in my hands (OHS too) looking down on them doesn't seem as big as looking at them full on. They're not as big as I conjured up in my mind before hand but am not disappointed in the slightest. No boob greed which is great and boy do I feel sexier! They feel like they belong to me now in every way. Updated on 15 Oct 2016: Updated on 20 Oct 2016: Soft enough now to make my boobs as big or as indiscreet as I want! They've been a little on the uncomfortable side this week after a slightly more 'adventurous ' massage with my OH last weekend. Still needing to remind myself I'm only 9 weeks post op and still fairly early days. I think because they've settled in remarkably easy I'm forgetting they're undergoing a massive change Updated on 24 Oct 2016: Finally managed to push myself to get back out and start my running again. I'm coming up for 10 wks PO and had been cleared by my PS at 6 weeks. It has been a combination of laziness and fear of developing a problem that's stopped me. So am starting off by power walking to get my legs and my girls used to it again lol. Last night I incorporated light jogging in with the walking. It felt good to pick it up again and boobs feel fine. Have been wearing 2 sports bras together to make sure they go nowhere!!! Just for this week :) Updated on 1 Nov 2016: Couldn't wait to try out my new running bra! It came well recommended from a friend with larger (natural) boobs. It's for high impact activity from the SHOCK ABSORBER range on Amazon. My precious cargo did not move as the bra flattened and held really well and it felt comfortable and good to get back out there. My twins feel very much a part of me now Updated on 6 Nov 2016: Quick update at nearly 3 months. Life is very much back to normal. Dropping and fluffing seems to have occurred. To me my boobs are perfect now. They feel soft and squidgy like normal boobs. I can't feel the implants and neither can my OH. No pain, heaviness or anything. No boob greed just happy happy happy feelings all the way...long may it reign :) Updated on 6 Dec 2016: I really can't believe how quickly time has past a incentive my BA on August 19th. My final bra size has stayed the 34dd that is was when I first got measured at around 4/5 weeks. The only difference being they've dropped,fluffed and found their final resting place! They feel and look completely natural and to be honest I forget they're there most of the time (which is how it should be ) on the very odd (and I mean very odd) occasion they feel a little heavy. The feeling/numbness has all but returned now. Nipples can still have a mildly sensitive momemt but not painful or uncomfortable at all. In fact I have been lucky as I now have some feelings in my nipples that I didn't have before the op. I can morph my boobs into what I wan to suit any occasion which is fab! Low key for work and 'Hello boys' for a night out! My post op sports bras have not gone to waste either as when I feel they should have some TLC on it goes as despite the fact all is good here I'm still aware that they're still in their infancy. It's been such a fab journey and I've been very lucky :) Updated on 15 Dec 2016: I'm 4 months PO now and for the last week have been experiencing what I can only describe as the return of mild morning boob. My nipples have the return of the slight sunburn sting feeling and boobs feeling a little on the heavy side when my bra is off. Getting occasionally flickers of slight pain too. Noting that needs me to take any medication though. Just seems a bit odd as my body had felt all had returned to normal. Boobs are still soft, they haven't become misshapen in any way and there's no redness indicating infection. Could this be hormonal? I don't have periods as I have the mirena coil and I'm 49 sof who knows if I'm starting the menopause. Any one else experienced this or have any ideas? Updated on 9 Jan 2017: Went for my final post op check up today. I'm 10 days away from 5 months now and very pleased with the outcome. I was reassured that the feelings I had in my previous post were normal (this lasted for about a week) my bra size has stayed at 34dd but I'm not hung up on what the label in my bra says tbh. The size I am is perfect for me and if my bras were 34c I'd still be happy because for me it's all about what suits me and my shape. I think we can get too hung up on cc size. If the size looks good and suits you be happy. My PS has done an amazing job and my recovery has been fabulous. Good luck to all those about to embark on what I can only describe as the journey that has changed my life so much so for the better :) Updated on 11 Jan 2017: I would like to ask the question to any surgeons reading this..why does post op information/aftercare vary so so much between surgeons? Some patients are advised to ice, wear restrictive bandaging/bands, have exercise regimes to follow, are encouraged to massage their breasts to help them drop yet others, myself included, did not do any of this and yet the result is still a good one. I'm just curious :) Updated on 19 Feb 2017: Where has that time gone!? How do they feel now? Like they've always been there! They have completely changed my life...for the better. Don't get me wrong I still get the rare, very rare twinge or feeling of heaviness and that's when I think "oh yeah I had a BA" full feeling in both boobs, even underneath, no numbness and whereas I had no feeling sexually in my nipples before, I do now!! Weird eh?? rekon I was wired up wrong before and the BA put me back to how it should be ha ha. I've never felt sexier and my confidence in my own body has soared. No boob greed whatsoever and absolutely no regrets. It's a waiting game and those talented experts who perform the procedure are so right, changes have kept happening over the last 5 months I'd say, even small ones. It's been an exciting experience and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat :) Updated on 14 Mar 2017: Going away in a few weeks and can't wait to take the girls for their first proper trip out in a bikini! Started out as 34b ( absolutely not a full cup) Had 300cc over muscle Nagor silicone. Moderate profile. Now 34dd. I will be 7 months post op on 19th March Beauty being they can be played up or down. Absolutely love them! Updated on 19 Jun 2017: Updated on 30 Dec 2017: Never dreamed having a BA could be this good! Best decision of my life and would definitely do it again! 16 months on and sleeping on my front comfortably, able to have a back massage without fear of pressure popping them. They feel like a complete and normal part of me, no pain, no twinge. Perfect size for my frame and when I'm topless on holiday everyone we meet can't believe they're fake. My OH was dubious about me having them because he was worried about the fakeness and the feel. He cannot believe how natural they look and feel. All credit to my fantastic surgeon. Still can't believe they're mine and absolutely no boob greed! Good luck to all about to embark and hope your experience is as fulfilling as mine :)
I finally bit the bullet and had surgery on 15 February. I am 5ft 5inches tall 140 pounds and have gone from a UK 34G to approx UK 34D. Despite them looking like party hats at the moment because of swelling I no longer look like a serving wench but a normal proportioned woman. There has been very little pain but I didn't anticipate how much the surgery and anaesthetic would knock me out. I am very pleased with the more youthful appearance and light weight. My husband's first word (who thought the procedure was completely unnecessary) was "phwooor" . My PS was great and thorough and gave me realistic expectations. I asked him to just cut the damn things off and although I was concerned that he wouldn't make me small enough I trusted his judgement and am glad I did. Updated on 28 Feb 2011: Hi two weeks in and had steri strips and dressings removed today. What tiny nipples I have! But oh so sensitive. I had a little moment yesterday when I felt they were still a little too large but when i walked into The PS consulting room and saw a couple of zepplins on the screen that were allegedly mine 2 weeks ago I realised that i was being a bit silly (blame the meds). Also PS explained that bruising and swelling will take up to 3 months to go. Im sure that I'm not alone when I say that the things that repulsed me the most and that would reduce me to tears are now my best asset. I'm tempted to do the school run in a bikini despite it being -1.
Hi, I’m a 25 year old who has been wanting a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I can finally afford to get it done, and want to achieve a natural look. As I’m petite and lean, and do exercise (weekly run, and some strength and lifting exercises) I want to keep a small natural look, but just finally have boobs!! I’m 100lb and 5’2 and always been small. 34a is what I’m currently and I’m looking for a large B / small C type of implant. I’ve gone to a first consultation and got told a 250cc silicone implant would be best. However after doing a sizing appointment, I got a bit scared and decided a 200cc implant would be better for me. What do you think? Updated on 5 Sep 2018: Just had a second surgeon consultation and I’m much happier. He was a lot nicer (I thought) and seems to understand what I want. He examined me and recommended OVER the muscle - which I was surprised about since I thought he would say I have no boob but apparently I have enough tissue. Gummy bear, round, between 210-240cc. He would be using Nagor Impleo so either 210 or 240. I’m leaving towards 210cc as I liked that best when I did sizers. Would also need to spend an overnight at the hospital. A bit more expensive but honestly when it comes to such an important surgery, money doesn’t matter. I’d rather pay more and be happy and healthy than the opposite. Updated on 11 Sep 2018: I set my date for surgery! 18th Nov so only 2 months away. The fact that it is now getting real is freaking me out a bit and I’m now overly obsessed with looking up everyone’s boob results lol. By the way did anyone else’s surgeon tell them to get off the pill for 6 weeks prior to surgery? Ps I’ll post better pictures once I’m back from holidays as well as wish boobs Updated on 15 Sep 2018: Here are my 34A boobies - they don’t always fit a full A cup. My right boob is smaller than my left one. I’m hoping to achieve a full B or very small C. I really don’t want to regret going too large because 1) that’s not my personality 2) I do like to workout (sorry a bit bloated from vacation food haha) and 3) I don’t want large hanging heavy boobs. Do you think a 210cc Nagor impleo over the muscle would make me achieve this goal? A bit scared of 240cc. Updated on 2 Oct 2018: I had my pre op with the nurse yesterday. She took my blood, did a blood pressure check, and let me try on sizers however they had size 1, size 2, etc on them so they’re a “range”? Weird. Anyways I wanted size 1 and nothing bigger. She also mentioned she didn’t believe I was a 34A which made me think... am I?! So I measured myself this morning according to a RealSimple article I found and apparently I’m 32B? But on different websites it tells me different sizes... confusing much!! She gave me guidelines of recommendations before and after surgery etc. Gonna buy some things off amazon next week and get prepped up for 18th Nov! Updated on 2 Oct 2018: I tried 210 and 240 rice sizers again, and I honestly can’t see why I should go more than 210cc. It looks great on me! Especially since I’m going over the muscle- meaning I probably won’t lose as much as I went under the muscle. Hopefully the doc agrees! Updated on 6 Nov 2018: Here’s my list of things I got for my surgery post op: - back pillow (triangular and super hard) - maternity pillow (or Vpillow) borrowed - neck pillow (travel pillow) - antiseptic wash - wipes (for after surgery cleaning) - vitamins C - 2 bras (1 from Yianna on Amazon and one from M&S) - hot/cold packs - bio oil - straws I think that’s it. But it’s now 1 week and 5 days pre op and I’m super excited! Anxious as well, but now I just want the surgery done and over with. I hope my surgeon makes the right choice of implants on me so that they look appropriate, natural, and still cute! Updated on 19 Nov 2018: I’m a day post op! It was a great experience with the NWIH team. Woke up with 210cc moderate profile Nagor over the muscle. Really happy with the size so far! Spent the night at the hospital which was helpful and made it comfortable. Now I’m home and def more in pain. I get random nausea and cried out of nowhere but I know it’s only a day so I’ll take a couple of days to be back to normal. Pics to follow! Updated on 20 Nov 2018: I’ve posted my post op pics, now remember they are swollen as well lol. I’ll try to take more pictures throughout the week but I’m having a hard time actually taking off the bra without feeling queasy :/ Updated on 28 Nov 2018: So last weekend was 1 week post op! Had my first appointment Monday and nurse removed the bandages - she said my incisions are healing well, and to apply Savlon cream 2-3x day from now on. I went to buy a second post op bra from M&S (I had the sports bra but it didn’t fit correctly) and I ended up getting a post op bra at size 32D!!! That’s a bit scary to me lol they do still look huge to me, but I guess I’m not used to having anything there either. Back to work today! Updated on 9 Dec 2018: Im now at the 3 week mark! So beginning of week 2 I had this real strange feeling in my left boob, whenever I bent forward I felt a pressure on the top of my breast. I think it must have been the implant moving or some fluid. Felt uncomfortable but it was gone 2 days later! I feel great, able to do most things and reach up as well. I just don’t lift anything too heavy or do exercise, nor the vacuum and ironing. I don’t think there’s much change between week 2 and 3 as far as the pictures but my right boob seems to be dropping and fluffing faster than the left? So far I love them, I’m getting more and more used to them and so glad I went with a small size because it’s a huge difference when I’m naked!! Updated on 16 Dec 2018: It’s been 4 weeks today and loving them more everyday! I’ve got some new pics for you - they don’t look like they changed much since week 2? I do love though how they’re getting slowly squishier and falling naturally to the side when I’m laying down. I always wanted natural breasts and since I had to get implants, I’m glad they fall like a natural boob :) Updated on 2 Jan 2019: It’s now hit the 6 week mark and I’m all ready to buy bras! I actually bought two bras, one black and one nude, from Sloggi and they are super comfy. I’ll need to post a pic of them too! I’m currently at 32D in most bra brands even though my back size is more like 28-30, but a lot of brands don’t start at those back sizes. Been sleeping on and off without a bra and it’s not too bad! Still can’t sleep on my front (any suggestions on how to do it?) but fine sideways. Updated on 20 Jan 2019: And loving my boobs! They feel like part of me most of the time already, except when trying to lie on my stomach and some grabbing movements. The size hasn’t changed so I got some VS bras at 32D and then some bras in other bras at either 28E or 30DD. Our friends finally noticed after I put a low cup top with some push up bra, and it was really funny to realize that they were afraid of asking me about it!!
So I've been considering breast augmentation for years. I had a tummy tuck 10 years ago and held off on the BA because I was worried about being covered in scars. I suffer with keloid scars and always assumed to get a good result I would need a lift as well as implant. I'm 5 7 and currently weigh 126 pounds. I've always weighed about 140 to 145 so after 2 children and weight yo yo ing I do have some sag. First consultation I said I wanted natural look and assumed I needed a lift. He advised against it and said they weren't actually that saggy. After Aton of research I decided I actually prefer more rounded so went back for a consultation. I'm starting as a deflated c cup and going for silicone over muscle 340cc. He said I should be a D to DD. Surgery in 2 days! Updated on 24 Mar 2015: Just seen my surgeon, pictures taken, discussed everything and I'm under 2 hours away from my new breasts. We are heading for a d to dd and over muscle because of my exercise. See you on the other side. Will post before pictures shortly. Updated on 25 Mar 2015: One day post surgery, feeling good and loving the results. 340cc was too big so surgeon went for 300cc
