I don't often write a review, but I am absolutely thrilled with the skill and care given by Professor Malata. I have undergone 3 x procedures, and every time he has surpassed my expectations. My most recent procedure - a revision abdominoplasty - was to put right an awful attempt by other Cambridgeshire plastic surgeon, has been a huge transformation and I will be forever grateful for the care that he has given me. If you're looking for an amazing surgeon, look no further.
Brilliant doctor. Very happy with the result. I saw Dr Malata in 2017 for breast implant replacement. He removed my ruptured implants. The operation went really well. I recovered quickly. I am now a 36DD.
Such a kind caring and very professional surgeon. A perfectionist. I had full tummy tuck,muscle repair and boob lift and reduction. I feel amazing. I was size 16 now a size 12. Was a 38ff bust now 34e. This man is full of advice and really does know what he is doing.
I'm just a few days away from my reduction and can't wait ! I super excited and super scared. Want to be a full C or small D Like many of you, having smaller breasts is something I have dreamt about for so long . Whilst I suffer with neck and back pain , it isn't the main reason I want this surgery . I want to wear clothes that flatter me, not hide me away. I want to wear a swimsuit that doesn't require scaffolding . I long to blow dry my hair in the summer without feeling sweat trickling from under my breasts. I want to avoid gravity taking hold to such an extreme that my boobs will be all people see. I look like a weeble that's doesn't fall down ;). I long for pretty bras that don't look like you can pop a 3 month baby inside of! Anyway ladies , any top tips I'm all ears . Updated on 31 Jan 2017: Sorry for late update , I was keen to rest up and let the anaesthetic leave my body just enough to make some sense . All went well and I am delighted! Haven't needed much pain relief at all. Left breast rather bruised , but still I can appreciate how I look . Dressings come off Friday . Surgeon feel I haven't much swelling at all so this should be more or less my size . 34 D/DD. Happy bunny ???? Updated on 2 Feb 2017: I will be pleased to get the dressings off as they're beginning to itch a little where the glue is . Today my right nipple went hard as a reaction to the cold and the left less so. The left breast is significantly more bruised , more was removed and apparently this accounted for the bruising - I imagine there was a bleed to warrant immediate bruising . However no problems that I know of resulting from that. My PS has been really pleased with my progress . I love my new boobs ! I feel like a new woman Updated on 4 Feb 2017: Dressings came off yesterday and I all is well . As you will see from the photo the left breast still has 2 patches on. There were 2 minor spots that my PS put iodine patches on to help dry out, I can remove them tomorrow. The bruising should start to fade in a few weeks . Love my new size. I have to say though, they look bigger in the photo than they are in real life . The itching was crazy this morning , but I think I'm allergic to glue on the dressings. Hopefully that will all calm down over next few days. Updated on 6 Feb 2017: So the patches came off on the left breast, and as far as I can see it's all ok. I was totally shattered yesterday after cooking for my family. Thankfully I had help with the pots and pans and lifting the roast out of the oven, but omgg I was done in ! Slept from 10.30 pm thru to 10.30am so be warned ! 2 weeks post op you feel more energised.... until you start to do something !! I'm pleased to report the itching has settled, but I think the Benadryl is really helping there ! Happy healing girls and good luck to those that haven't quite got there yet. X Updated on 9 Feb 2017: Hi, I'm coming up for 3 weeks post op and I love my new shape and size and so excited about the Summer months so I can wear strapless dresses. My problem right now is that as the regeneration of nerves starts to happen sleeping is difficult. Whilst I try to sleep with 3 pillows so i'm not completely lying down, my bra still rides up and seems to irritate to my incisions. I'm so exhausted with wearing the compression and sports bras because theyre so damn restricting when all I want is freedom of fabric against them and rubbing. Any recommendations ? Updated on 13 Feb 2017: Everyday a lovely improvement. Still find night times a little tricky, mainly because I hate wearing a bra in bed. I'm really e joking how clothes are fitting and can't wait to buy a nice bra in a week or two . Updated on 15 Feb 2017: Hi, I'm almost 4 weeks post op and I'm really struggling with what must be hypersensitivity- it's like a sunburn feeling - right breast particularly bad. Has anyone else had this ? Other than that I'm doing well and today bought my first bra 34dd! Certainly beats the G cup I was wearing . Updated on 20 Feb 2017: So I'm just over the 4 week mark and much stronger and less vulnerable. Able to do a little housework and even went out partying Saturday night. Other than the people that already knew I had a breast reduction, people just assumed I'd lost weight. I have been trying on bikinis ???? and lots of summer tops and dresses and I have to say I'm so looking forward to wearing them without big bras underneath . My new boobs are so perky , I imagine going bra less in some dresses is a real possibility. I feel I'm over the worst now, the insane itching and hypersensitivity has settled to a more acceptable level. I still have zero sensation in my nipples, but they do react to the environment, so I guess it's true when my PS said you will regain protective sensation but not erotic. I'm praying his wrong about the erotic part as I'm going to miss that! Im also hopeful that my nipples won't remain numb. I'm now needing to look at my diet all over again as this recovery lark is nothing but temptation to eat when bored!! Looking at Lean in 15 with Joe Wicks :). Exercise I hope will resume in 2 weeks. Happy healing everyone and lots of luck to those who are about to have the op x Updated on 26 Feb 2017: Just wanted to share with you some photos of how I'm progressing. I am so pleased with how I have healed so far. I have one small manuka honey strip on my rt breast to help heal a small ulcer. Not painful and I'm not worried . My scars are now in the red phase and sometimes can feel sore , whilst other days nothing at all. I have started to do more , driving , housework and shopping etc so at night the scars feel achey , but TBH a small price to pay for my lovely perky boobs. Bruise on left boob is fading nicely . The Numbness I had on the breast is now much better, but still unable to feel my nipples , again, a small price to pay I feel. I'm seeing my very clever surgeon again on Friday so will report back after that . Good luck ladies with your healing and your upcoming ops xx Updated on 4 Mar 2017: Saw my PS yesterday and got the all clear to stop wearing the surgical bra and wear whatever I like. I can start massaging the incisions now to help reduce any lumpiness left in the breast, this will soften them and help them drop a little. Three weeks from now my PS feels any swelling will have left and I will be the size that I am. Right now I am Measuring a DD, in England that's the most common size it seems . I know the UK sizing is different from America. I am so happy with my size . It suits my frame and I still feel sexy. I have a lot of feeling in the breast and aerola but still not in the nipple, but he is confident that will come . So, last night I had my best nights sleep. Scars felt calm and I slept mostly on my side the entire night. The itching and sunburn sensation has completely left . Just one thing left to say at this point, and that is ... I am OVER THE MOON HAPPY! Happy healing ladies and good luck to those about to have theirs done . Xx Updated on 7 Mar 2017: No regrets. Feel so happy as my smaller breast feel nothing more than completely liberating . I love the way I feel more in proportion with my height and shape. Dresses and tops are far more flattering on me now. No need to keep my arms folded the whole time when I'm in crowds . I would say to anyone wanting this procedure to go for it. Updated on 8 Mar 2017: Scars are healing nicely now and I'm going to try an underwire next week. Updated on 14 Mar 2017: Just need a drop a few 1lbs and I think I'm going to love them even more . 2 bra less looks - not bad for someone approaching 47 who's has 3 babies. Updated on 18 Mar 2017: At last, some nice bras - I feel fabulous in them. So pleased with how I look. Updated on 22 Mar 2017: Progressing really well now. Regularly massaging the scars and my breasts to even out any lumpiness. In the photo you will see that one breast looks lower than the other - it actually isn't as pronounced as that . My left breast has a small dark spot below the nipple - this is where I had a small opening - I am told this will fade along with the scars. The right breast shows a small dog ear - this also looks more pronounced in the photo than it really is - it also has days where it is completely flat . Happy healing ladies and good luck to all of you still waiting on your surgery x Updated on 12 Apr 2017: Massaging scars twice daily, not worried what I use, I just simply use something that allows for massage and isn't heavily fragrances. I switch between Bio Oil, aloe gel and a her scar herbal balm. I'm really pleased with how they're settling down and feeling is all returning. I can wear any bra I like - I have slept on my front since 8 weeks and have zero discomfort now . Any questions, just ask . Updated on 25 May 2017: All I can say I am so delighted with the outcome. Scars look better week on week. I have gained several pounds, but tbh my new boob size doesn't make me look as big as I would have done when I was a G cup at this weight . I'm a very happy 34DD. Updated on 29 Jun 2017: I have had a fairly painless journey with my reduction and can honestly say I am so delighted with the results. Getting dressed feels likes a luxury these days. My confidence has improved tenfold. My only worry right now is lack of nipple sensation. I haven't lost hope though. Anyone else waited longer than 6 months for it to return? Updated on 6 Jul 2017: No heavy breathing and chronic neck and back pain ! This op went exactly the right way for me. Updated on 29 Jul 2017: So good to be able to wear a boob tube dress! Updated on 4 Oct 2017: Hi ladies, just thought I'd do another update for you as I'm now almost 9 months down the line. I am still loving my reduction , but only regained a very slight sensitivity in my nipples. However, what I did gain for sure , was 12lbs in weight! I'm not sure if the gain has caused my breasts to grow a little, but definitely my back is way fatter, so bra overhang is getting me down ! I found that when I was large breasted I always watched my weight to prevent me looking any bigger - barrel shaped . I'm only 5ft 2. Now my boobs are small (to me anyway) I became so happy and contented that I stopped worrying about weight ! I also stopped exercising (I sprained my ankle) before I knew it, I was 12lbs heavier and now my clothes are all tight. Don't do what I have done ! Respect your new boobs and keep healthy . I will re post again in a few months and pray I dropped that stone ! Updated on 19 Jul 2018: A quick update - I can honestly say that I haven’t ever had a moment of regret. I love the way they look and feel (so does hubby) and I feel a great deal sexier than I did as a G cup. My surgeon worked with my body shape and left me with a full bust and a sexy shape I feel. I have some bra overhang, but I think it’s impossible to completely avoid. I feel great in a triangle bikini top and would leave the house everyday bra less if I could, but I want to look after them. I had an incredible surgeon and the best aftercare. Good luck ladies xx
Saw Professor Malata for a consultation- he was very understanding and professional. Went in for the operation and had it done under local anaesthetic. The injections were extremely painful but I couldn't feel a thing during surgery. Local anaesthetic was my personal choice. He was very considerate of my feelings and that it was a rather undignified surgery. I saw the plastics nurse for a check up a week later and have just been for my 3 week check up where he discharged me. I have healed exceedingly well, had no infection or bleeding. I've had worse visits to the dentist quite frankly. This surgery has helped me in many ways and I am so grateful to Professor Malata and for his skill.
.Pr Op 34B After 34D Now After Kids 30E! I've had my implants in now 8 years and i'm ready to go natural.I use to be a 34B then i had my son and breast fed and decided to have implants 6months later.After i went to a 34D and had 300cc silicone gel over muscle.Since then i have had a further 2 children and breastfed both for 2months and i'm now a 30E.Its taken me a while but i have learned to accept myself and im now comfortable in my own skin.I wish to explant as i feel its the one thing that isn't mine to love i don't want to continue with risky procedures every 10 years and i dislike the coldness of the implants and feel.Want my little warm natural breasts back and i am aware they won't be as small and perfectly formed as they once were but i can live with this. I've seen a consultant and have booked in for 12 April to explant under local anesthetic implant only no lift.I'm excited although my husband bless him will miss them but he is supportive and im sure he will love the little ones eventually. Updated on 21 Mar 2013: Managed to negotiate the cost from £3200 to £2850.00 including initial consultation really pleased they were able to review the price due to limited funds.Huge thanks to Dr Malata have now definetly booked in 12th April to go ahead with explant only non removal of capsule.My left Capsule is slightly firmer grade 11 capsular contraction may have slight gel bleed as its in early stages Dr Malata has agreed to remove implants only capsule would only need removing if it progressed but hopefully there will be no change over next few weeks.Really excited feel its actually going to happen and is a great relief.Little worried about being awake during the procedure but hopefully it will be nothing in comparison to child birth lol. Not expecting perfectly formed small breasts as thats just expecting a miricle after 3 children so trying to get into perspective that they will be flat and empty and anything more will be a bonus at least they will be mine and i have chosen the right time to have them removed :-). Updated on 24 Mar 2013: Thank you all for sharing your stories feel hopeful.Feeling a little down today its almost like waiting to give birth.Really excited and really wish they next few weeks would fly by because i can't wait to have my implants out and i know it will come round soon but can't help feeling impatient.And its the unknowing i mean your aware of what you want and what to expect but at the same time u just don't really know untill it happens and its the anticipation of finding it out.Need to take my mind off it for a bit i think [RS bleep] Updated on 4 Apr 2013: 1 Week tomorrow! I'm so excited as my date is getting closer but i won't lie i'm also nervous and i hope the surgery will go well and won't be too uncomfortale being awake!!! I've taken a few pics for my own records but thought i'd post them also. I really hope i'm happy with my decision to explant, if these were my real breasts i would be thrilled but to me they're not mine and i feel strongly about being just me again.I guess what will be will be and i hope that i will grow to love them no matter the shape or size they will become. At least they will be mine! I was running this morning and it was so cold out my boobs felt like cold uncomfortable rocks which reinforced why i'm making this decision i just want to be natural and to be accepted for me.I feel i'm getting ready to say "goodbye" to my implants that have been apart of me for 8 years (longest relationship i've been in :-))And i feel like i'm going on a blind date to be introduced to my natural breasts that i will live with for the rest of my life almost like an arranged marriage "i hope i grow to love them". xxxx Updated on 10 Apr 2013: Friday couldn't come quick enough i feel like a bag of nerves yet excited trying to keep busy luckily the kids demand most my time and attention but its the evenings thats the worse as it is time when i can't help but think. Had a fantastic weekend i think my husband realizes this is it he seemed to be making the most of them lol.I hope he will still be attracted to the new look.can't wait ..........:-) Updated on 11 Apr 2013: Wow can't believe its tomorrow!!!! Actually feeling quite calm yet excited got on top of all my cleaning so i'm organized over next few days and hopefuly won't have to lift a finger lol.My husband has taken Friday and Monday off to help with the kids and to be honest i'm looking forward to a little break with someone waiting on me for a change :-). ......so excited will update as soon as i'm able xxxxx Updated on 12 Apr 2013: At hospital now waiting to go into theater feeling so excited yet scared and nervous can't wait for it to b over.can't believe this is the last time I will have big breasts hope it all goes smoothly and good luck to those who r also explanting today :-) x x x Updated on 13 Apr 2013: Well i've finally done it :-).Had surgery yesterday at 4:30pm was home by 7pm.Had it done under local only with no other drugs the surgery went really well but was the most weirdest experience.The local injections were't too bad and it was pain free but a strange sensation to feel everything they are doing and when they washed out the capsules it was like feeling a warm bath on my rib cage i could feel it was under the skin.I would reccomend it under local if you are having a straight forward removal and if you are good at coping with anxiety etc as the procedure isn't bad but like i say very stange.It was crazy to look down and see my boobs totally gone.It turned out both implants were 350cc bigger then i thought and my breasts were all implant as don't think i have anything left.My left implant was intact but my right had gel bleed so it has reasurred me i've done the right thing.I'm all taped up apart from my nips poking out looking very sorry for themselves and i won't see the result until friday when i get the tape removed. Already even asthough i have nothing left i feel relief and i can actually feel my breasts again not the hard rocks i use to so i just hope they heal well.I'm not in any real pain sometimes feel a little sore around incision but nothing thats unbearable or intolerable was in more pain when my breasts were encourged when breast feeding. My husband bless him can't believe the've gone think hes struggling to get his head round it but he is supportive and has been a great help with the kids and i've told him hopefully it will only get better. My surgeon Dr Malata and the staff were fantastic. I have posted a pic but will update on friday :-) Updated on 22 Apr 2013: Had a crazy week everyones had a stomach bug and i was ill Friday when i was due to go in to have my tape removed and steri strips replaced so i removed the tape and cleaned the incision and replaced the steri strips myself as they gave me a little kit to do it at home that my husband picked up for me.Feeling so much better now though and so are the children. When i removed my tape i was so worried in case something nasty was lurking underneath but i have to say i was pleasently surprised with the results especially after all i've put my boobs through.The pics were taken just after i removed the tape.Apart from being a little bruised and sore and my nipples kind of turn in a little i think they look ok and over the last few days since i removed the tape they have gotten better so i will update the pics every 2 weeks to show progress. Overall i am happy with the results.I've tried to take things easy but have found it hard especially with having young children as i have perhaps slightly overdone things at times but i try not too.I will update Friday [RS bleep] Updated on 28 Apr 2013: Hi just a quick update love being natural definetly the right decision for me.Very pleased with my results considering everything i have put my breasts through.they are not perfect but they are mine and i'm hoping they will continue to heal nicely anyone considering having this procedure done i would definetly say go for it if you fel strongly and are happy to accept the results.Picture updates taken 13 days post op.nipples slightly sunken but overall very pleased :-) xxxx Updated on 12 Jul 2013: Hi,Just wanted to let you know it has been almost 3months since I explanted and it is the best thing I did. It feels great to be natural although it has taken a little while to ajust to my new shape .I feel healthier and I'm still confident in myself. Occasionally I look down and I think wouldn't it be nice to just fill an A cup as I am 32A but even this is sometimes too big but I see how much I have put my body through and as nice as it would be I have accepted them.(hoping they may just fill out that little more over time :-) or that may just be wishful thinking :-).) My partner has got use to my body and is happy although I had to tell him to stop saying " i'll pay for you to have them redone tomorrow") He was very much a boob man but now he's noticed my behind :-). Its weird to think I had such large breasts when I see the pics before I'm thinking was that really me how crazy I don't miss the feeling of implants at all. Good luck to all those who are choosing to explant xxxxx
Hello all! I've been reading all the reviews and stories and I just had to join! It's so encouraging and informative to have you ladies post here and share your journeys. I am a 28 year old mother of three girls. I have had big breast since I got my period in middle school, and by my senior year in highschool I was 118 and a 36 D. That increased to a 38 E/F over the course of 8 years, after Depo, three pregnancies, and almost 75lbs weight gain! Also came the back aches, headaches, neck pain, intercostal pain, and so on...the usual. I have been on my reduction journey for three years now, I got pregnant in Dec 2009, so it went out the window! I am an AF veteran (non retired of course) turned Air Force wife, so I am covered under Tricare Prime and medically qualified for a BR. I am currently 187lbs and I work out as aften as I can, from brisk walks to running/alternate walking at the gym. So I plan to continue to drop weight. My PS is Dr. Charles Malata and he is one of Britains leading PS. The hospital here on base referred me to his office. I had my consultation on the 3rd of April, and he pretty much pre-op'd me then...lol. He plans to take out 500 or a little more from each breast and I'll stay 2-3 days before I am released and the reigns are turned over to my husband ;) I am very excited and will take all the advice, encouragement, warnings, concerns, anything you have to offer! Thanks so much ladies and I'm glad to become part of the family here. Also, I am willing to take photos for a picture journey companion, anyone wanna give me the quick way to post pics? May God bless each and everyone of you, swift recoveries and safe surgeries to all who are taking the big step soon as well! Blessings! Updated on 20 Apr 2012: Hello Ladies, I hope everyone is well! I am attempting to add a few before photos to be able to compare with after photos later. They are different poses to show my breast size currently, my body type, and such. Thanks for all you ladies do. Updated on 20 Apr 2012: Hey Ladies, I did it!!! Bless the Lord...lol...I updated my before photos, with my husband's permission. You all just don't know how much your pics have helped me! I'd like to help others as well by posting all aspects of my journey. Seven days to go, and I am beyond excited! Ok, so the trick for the photos, in case anyone else runs into trouble: I switched browsers from Firefox to IExplorer, they uploaded fairly quickly after that change! You guys be blessed! I am also losing weight, so I guess you'll get to see that progress as well! Updated on 23 Apr 2012: 5 days to go ladies, and I can say that I am SUPER DUPER excited and a little bit nervous. I sent in my pre-Admission package on Friday, and it takes a day for it to get there. I have to be at the hospital Saturday morning at 0700 and I have to stop eating at 2300, which is going to be hard for me, as I am a midnight snack chica! I like to get up, grab water and a graham cracker or townhouse crackers! I'll survive tho, thinking about getting sleep medicine, or not, I may very well catch up on that lack of sleep with all the drugs that will be in my system! I can hardly sit still, the journey to no back, neck, and shoulder pain, and smaller boobies is almost here...5 days!!!! Updated on 23 Apr 2012: Hey y'all! One more thing... What's the best bra and scar treatment to buy for post op healing and such? Updated on 26 Apr 2012: Good day to the awesomely wonderful women of the BR forum, and to all lurkers...unless you're creepy!...lol. I am T-2 Days y'all, and my excitement is raging and my nerves have seemed to peek out a bit. I am totally looking forward to Saturday and so is my wonderful, amazing, and supportive husband. I asked him the other day was he really ready to say farewell to my ladies and hello to better ones, and he smiled and said yes, he is, he is ready for change! I'm so glad, because under all my joy and excitement, I couldn't help but wonder how he would feel about his beloved breasts being reduced, I mean really feel, despite telling me that he was okay about it. So yeah, I'm elated to know that he is ready as well. My husband is the man!!! It's so funny that this is happening, but the past few weeks, I have been waking up with more noticeable pain in my upper back and shoulders, I guess it really was time to have the BR. It's not horrible, but I guess maybe I am actually paying a lot more attention to what my boobs have been doing to my body! I'm not too thrilled about having to limit my cuddles with our baby girls, well not so baby girls, 5, 4, and 18 months, I've been telling them that mommy won't be able to give big hugs for awhile, but daddy will have an abundance of love to give while I'm healing. Lastly, as I responded to Ms. Kate30 below, this is just the beginning of a bigger journey in my life to get back to where I am smaller and more healthy. Get back to a more healthy weight for my height and be rid of this belly, the "letting go" effect of three pregnancies in about 5 years! I need to be a healthy wife and mother for my family, and my best bet is to kick it into to high gear once I'm all healed up. Well take care ladies, and I'll update again tomorrow, and Sat before I go in, Sat after maybe, and I'll try to post pics of right before the surgery and after once I'm all rested and have come down from the drug high, as well as eaten, I'm a grumpy person when tired and hungry. Until next time, you all take care and as usual, happy and blessed journey to you all and happy healing to the sisters on the other side! Updated on 27 Apr 2012: Okay guys, it's the night before my surgery and I must say that I am so very excited, and at the same time a little nervous. Of course about the anesthesia, that always freaks me out, but I'm gonna be just fine! Well guys, I'm gonna try to get some rest, and then I'll post and check in right before and after surgery! Blessings y'all! Updated on 27 Apr 2012: Hi ladies, I have checked in and am just waiting to go back for all my assessments! See you guys later!!!! Blessings! Updated on 29 Apr 2012: Hello Lovely Ladies! I've missed you guys...lol...I've finally been able to actually focus on what I'm doing and not high right now, at least until my next round of drugs! :) The surgery was a success, instead of the 500 g per breast, he was able to remove 690 g per breast...yeah...wowzers!!! I can see and feel the difference, and tho I have not seen them with the bandages and bra off, I can definitely say I have itty bitty boobies compared to my E/F's...more than likely a C cup with swelling and a small C once the swelling goes down. My phone died and I don't have my charger right now, my hubby will be bringing it later, so I will be able to upload my pics for you gals to see. I am thoroughly excited, and am going to go ahead and switch my button to "worth it"!!! Oh yeah, another thing, I was a little worried about my nipples, as they are the most sensitive thing on my body, and TMI, but they are what gets me going, and I didn't share this before, but I was absolutely terrified of losing the sensation. Welllllll... I didn't lose a drop of sensation, not even a little bit. I feel so blessed to have a meticulous Dr. Thank you all for your love and support, I'm gonna get some sleep, and I'll upload later! Blessings! I also may not go home until tomorrow or Tuesday, more than likely Tuesday, this hospital is all about the patient's care and rest! Updated on 29 Apr 2012: Here are the pics lovies! Updated on 30 Apr 2012: Hello all! As stated before, at the hospital that I am at, they do things a bit differently than what we're used to in the States. I am still in the hospital, have been here a total of three nights now. I am actually enjoying myself and this quiet time. Don't get me wrong, I love my family to pieces, but it's been a relief to know that I didn't have to struggle as soon with our three girls, I miss them terribly. I have been missing my hubby so much as well. My doctor comes back in the morning to see me again, and prayerfully, the dang drains can come out. I messed around and bent at the side and pushed one of those suckers deeper into my side, OH MY GOSH, I almost screamed! I am doing fine with the pain, it took me a whole night to pee, the anesthesia did a number on my body, I'm honestly still not the same yet. I feel kinda groggy and sick from the pain meds, and CANNOT fathom how people can do these types of drug recreationally...wooooo... I'm doing fine other than that and my breasts are continuing to heal just fine, with 100% sensation everywhere in them! You guys continue to take care of yourselves, in love~Apple Updated on 2 May 2012: Post Op day 4: Hey gals! I came home last night, after 3 nights in the hospital, no complications, they just prefer to keep a very close eye on you in the hospital I was seen in! Well since being home, I've been attacked by my 18 month old who was over the moon happy to see her momma! My husband's quick reflexes kicked in like Chuck Norris and prevented serious damage! Anyway, I was happy to see my family, despite leaving the luxury of room service and around the clock attention...lol! So being me, my silly self thought it would be a good idea if I didn't take my codeine because it was making groggy, so I skipped two doses last night and just took the anti inflammatory, the paracetamol, and my antibiotics....bigggggg no no, because this morning I felt like I was shot in my chest, my back, and my legs... my arms, and torso too! So most definitely back to the codeine, I'd definitely rather feel groggy! Lol, so lesson one learned on day 3 post op!!! I also switched back to my open front bra, it was messy at the hospital so I washed it and in the mean time they gave me a back closure bra, same compression type, but Iike the front closing better. I don't know what size I am, and I have my first follow up on Friday, and another visit on 15 May. I will take pics when they change my dressings on Friday and post the pics of my new boobies then! Blessings ladies, xx! Updated on 2 May 2012: WHAT IS UP WITH THE DANG ITCHING?!?!?!? THAT IS ALL!!! Lol Updated on 6 May 2012: Sorry BR Sisters and hello! I have been out of it since my appt Friday! I am still, my 18 month old got me by sneak attack this morning after my husband left the house to go to his TDY to Iceland! She put all her weight on me climbing into my bed, yikes! We kept our babies up so I could sleep in and them too! Now my left breast is sore and the anchor site is burning and very sore, I prayed to God the my boob was still attached! Lol. Overall, I am happy with the results so far! I had the "Great Unveiling" on Friday after getting those thick bandages off, however I began to feel everything shortly after. The thick bandages were literally holding everything in place. Now I feel the result of every movement and twitch! I'm not in a lot of pain, just what is expected. Though I had to dose up this morning after the bed incident. I will post pics later and give a better update! I have missed y'all! Updated on 7 May 2012: Thank you ladies, the wee one knows that she hurt mommy, now she climbs slowly and says, "boo boo?". I have no forgot about the pictures, will have my friend take them tomorrow, but I haven't been able to do much with my hubby being away now and trying to rest in between entertaining my stinkers! I have a few friends that have been with me since after my husband left yesterday and they've been a huge help. Of course they aren't live in, so I'm having to tackle bed time and they crowd me at night when daddy leaves! No more attacks since then, but my breasts are still feeling the impact! I put some frozen green beans on them and feel better. However I've developed the stinging/ burning pain in my nipples and at my sides where the ends of the sutures are. The itching is slowly easing up, but I have good back scratchers on hand for the bra strap bugging! You guys be on the lookout for me and the pics, and hound me if I don't post, I get the email notifications for every post and update on here. I'm looking forward to my next appt on the 15th and maybe the steri strips come off then?!?!? Well good night for now sweetsies, I'll see ya tomorrow with the "perkiness boobs I've ever had" pictures! Xx Updated on 7 May 2012: Okay y'all, I'm going to give you some self taken after photos, but will get better pics taken by my bestie later... You're welcome! I couldn't resist ladies, I love you guys!!! Updated on 12 May 2012: Hey ladies! I just wanted to write and let you know that I was doing fine! Other than the occasional BAD pain and swelling on and off, I have been doing very good! I feel a lot more pulling and tugging at the sites the more I move around, and my nipples are starting to be sore when hard, I guess more sensitive. I have my first follow up on Tuesday and will let you guys know how that goes! I am exactly two weeks since the day of my surgery! Where did that time go? I'm still working on getting picks, but my girl friends and I have been trying to keep up with my kids, their kids and their lives as well! I am so blessed, I know we say that all the time, and it may even be a military thing, but the amount of support from my church, my husband's job, and neighbors is a bit overwhelming, in a good way, I cried the other day! I was extremely joyful and felt so loved and at the same time, I felt so helpless, not being able to reach my very high cabinets ( I'm 5'2 and they are high), can't get my babies... Ugh, but I'm learning humility! Well until next time ladies! Xx Updated on 22 May 2012: Hey guys! I suck, I know!!! So it's been three weeks since my surgery, 3 weeks and 3 days to be exact! Everything is pretty much the same, except I'm not in as much pain, only the burning and stinging pains around my sides and nipples. My check up went well, and they took off the remaining steri strips. I also have to be in my support bra for at least three more weeks. All of my scabs have come off, except for the tiny ones around my areola. I am still without my hubby at home to help me at night, at least for another two weeks or so. My help has been dwindling down and rightfully so, they have their own lives, so I've been doing a lot more on my own, and so very grateful for my wonderful friends. I have taken pictures of my breasts steri strip free, and they look decent, lol. My husband has not seen them since I had the bandages up close, but I sent him pics so he could see how well my scars are healing, he says he doesn't want to see them in person yet, it might traumatize him :/ . I did try on some old lingerie, and it's amazing the difference huge boobs make! I am still very restricted until my 13 June appointment, so I'm looking forward to freedom. I will upload my pics in a few hours, I'm on my iPad right now. I pray all is well with you gals and YESSSSS, I LOVE MY NEW BEAUTIFUL BREASTS! I'd do the reduction 100 times again! Xx Updated on 2 Aug 2012: Hey guys! I see thousands of updates! I have to read each and every new post as I have my quiet time! Everything is great here, all appointments have been well and I am a 40 C or 38 D and losing weight as well, ten pounds so far. No pain, no fuss, scars are healing great, fading as well. I have found a new hobby, and am keeping busy as you can see by my absence. My hubby is heading on a six month very soon, so we've been spending an awful lot of time together as a family, and I have neglected our Internet. His Iceland trip was good, now he's right back out the door. I have my next appoint in September, and I will see what happens as far as doggy ears and such then, and when the time comes, I'll let you guys know. I'm so sorry I have negletcted the forum, but truly, you all have been in my prayers! Updated on 2 Aug 2012: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! My hubby loved seeing my new bboobies, and loves them even more now, will post pics later! Updated on 27 Dec 2015: I have to do a killer update later... Hang tight.. TBC Updated on 23 Dec 2017: My breasts are fabulous!
So I've never had big boobs unless being pregnant and breastfeeding. Thing is about nursing your baby's is that the more you do it the more it looses your shape and firmness from when you first started out. Was only a 32A cup when I fell with my first child but went to a DD and loved it!! Want to be a 32E natural soft bouncy boobs that can be used like pillows lol. Updated on 19 Jan 2018: So as I was saying I went to a DD size with my first child and it was the same for my second child but when I decided to have a 3rd child with my current partner I am now.. well my boobs increased 6 sizes and not once was I given any stretch marks.. so that made me the biggest I had ever been, a huge F cup and the more I saw them the more I knew I wanted to be at least an E once I stop feeding again and loose all my size and shape, and that's exactly what happened and I knew I would be depressed looking in the mirror having nothing but small deflated boobs once more :( before falling pregnant I had been working out 5 times a week intensely at the gym.. some would call it body building as I would train to transform my shape and add weight to my tiny frame. So I've not been training since Oct 2014 and I miss it like crazy and can't wait to have surgery and get my tummy back to its original toned self again. Updated on 19 Jan 2018: As you can see mine are deflated.. these pics were taken 6 weeks ago now and have deflated a little more since so I'm really a 32A/B cos of a padded bra I wear. All these models are natural and a big size. So lucky and wish I had natural big boobs but I don't lol. Guess that's why we are all on this site. These lovely ladies all vary from size 32E- 34G Updated on 20 Jan 2018: Ok so I'm literally on my way now to see my surgeon for a second time to be re measured now my boobs have gone back to their natural size from breastfeeding my 4th baby. Had to leave it a good 3 months and allow all the milk to dry out which it has cos I can't squeeze any milk or of the nipples anymore.. result :) So I will be getting re measured and trying on the different implants to see what suits me best. I know I want to be pretty big but still the natural look. Not sure if I'm going to be round or tear drop yet but today will determine that and I have brought along a few different tops to see what looks good on my frame whether it's a vest top or a jumper. I've already tested the theory that wearing a jumper takes a lot of size of me from my 32B size I am so the jumper will help me decide exactly how big I would like to be.. Really hope I can try for an E cup possibly an F but it really does depend on how good quality breast tissue I am left with after nursing. Wish me luck lol Updated on 20 Jan 2018: So second appointment went better than I thought it would.. was supposed to of only been with my surgeon today for a 30 minute follow up but we ended up being a good he talking things over and re capping on first appointment also. He asked me if the E size was still the size I wanted to go for and I said yes with a possible F cup if my tissues and skin will allow it as well as my smallish frame. Well we tried on my sizers starting with quite a small implant until we reached the size I was liking in the mirror on me and without going too big to prevent stretching sagging or even bottoming out. So we have decided to go for a 475 or 495 cc which will be determined on the table when I'm opened up, medium height but can't remember if it's a moderate or high profile but I'm happy with what he has said and it's the cohesive gel tear drop shape as this will give me a more fullness to the top of the breast which I have lost due to feeding. I showed him my wish boobs pictures to give him an idea of the desired look I am wanting and this is when he increased the width of the implant too. Overall I am satisfied with my surgeon and walked away feeling very confident and ready to go for the next step.. the BA itself but won't be for a few months yet.. keep you updated
