So I’m less than two weeks away from surgery now...excited more every day aswell as still feeling some nerves. I’m happy with the sizes, currently rocking a deflated barely fill a b cup after feeding my kiddos, don’t really care on the size I end up, just want them to look natural and fuller. I may also need a nipple lift but Mr Offer won’t know til the day.
He’s been great throughout, seen him lots of times pre to double and triple check I’m happy with size, each time he reassures my choice and has given good advice. Pre op all done, buying the supplies for after now and then I’m all set

Before front and side, don’t realise how wonky your boobs are til you start this process! Hopefully the next pics I post will be post op and I can compare the two. Trying to eat really clean and stay hydrated in the build up to the op, determined for a smooth recovery. Any tips on how to help in the first few days post op would be great

Busy getting myself sorted today. I feel excitement but also massive anxiety over the size that they will look huge!! It’s so hard to judge so fingers crossed I’ve made the right choice on the advice of my PS. I’ve been scrawling the site and others looking at before and afters, trying to get a sense but one size on one person looks totally different from another. So I’m stepping away from my phone and will see what tomorrow brings. Pics in my macom bra hopefully to post a lovely comparison in the next few days. Wish me luck!!

So I’m all done, feeling very tight and high but other than that ok. Surgeon used 255...to me now they look absolutely huge so looking forward to them settling a bit and getting rid of the swelling. Also actually looking forward to the macom bra going on to keep them in check a bit. Everything I’ve read on here says how swollen they are at first so keeping that firmly in my head

Adding before and after pics, the bra feels like a safety blanket at the mo so it’s not coming off! Pleased with side view just look wide from the front due to swelling. Keeping up with the pain relief but so far so good and I have quite a good range of movement, much more than I expected to

3 days post op, I’m still feeling really swollen. My boobs feel huge to me still and I’m in the irrational stage of thinking they are never going to get any smaller. They feel ok first thing but then by the afternoon they seem to fill up!! I’ve ditched the macom bra today and gone with a normal sport bra and they feel less restricted. I’m hoping I’m just being impatient and the swelling will go down and I’ll have a lovely result. But at the mo they feel really high, really wide and solid. Fingers crossed for a day 4/5/6 change

Feeling slightly less swollen, 9 days po now and it seems to get significantly better day by day. They still feel big to me but gradually getting used to them. Saw family today who didn’t know I’d had it done and none of them even noticed! That was the aim that I’d look the same or similar in clothes just better naked! Not seeing surgeon til 20th Jan, feels ages away but unless I’m concerned about anything, that’s when I’m booked in. Dressings on for another 7 days or so then should be done. The nipple lift is probably the one that’s last to settle, still feels a bit tender, although I’m pleased to be getting some feeling back in the nips! Whoop!
How did everyone approach exercise? I’ve been going for short walks this week, mainly to keep me from going mad but the lack of movement is really starting to get me down now. When did everyone get back to running, gym, lifting etc. I’m hoping a few more weeks and I’ll be back at least doing lower body. Anyway pics attached of front view, and one side, the other side just looks wrong with the nipple strapped down. They still look like engorged breastfeeding boobs to me, fingers crossed for more reduction of swelling and less veiny! Happy with shape so far, albeit still high and a bit stuck on

I’m having a tough time this last week...just over 3 weeks post. They seemed to be getting better swelling wise but today feel huge again, but mainly on one side. I’m worrying they will end up one bigger than the other. I know everyone has a little asymmetry but at the mo they look like very different boobs. It’s the right one that has the nipple lift that looks bigger, particularly the nipple itself. Sitting lower though than the one without the nipple lift. For the first time since procedure I’ve actually wanted my old boobs back vs my current wonky swollen ones....Wearing the sports bra is doing my head in now, feel uncomfortable 80% of the time. Trying to stay positive but finding it hard. Did everyone else go through this? I feel it necessary to point out I am due on so potentially a bit of swelling going on due to that and generally hormonal. Hoping week 4/5/6 brings a better state of mind and more settling. Everything I read says swelling is mainly gone by week 3, guess I was expecting to feel different than I do

6 weeks today, feeling better and better by the day. Everything feels like it’s settling nicely and scars are looking good. Had my check with PS, he’s happy with everything. Got the ‘ok’ to start running again which I’m made up about, a few more weeks til I can go for it on upper body but I’ll take my win on the run!
And I can wear normal bras....which leads me to being in bra hell! After the supportive post op bra, everything just feels funny. I can wear under wire if I want to. Size wise I’ve ranged from 32E (WTF) to 34D depending on where I shop. I seem to have bra consignments being delivered to my house daily
Where is the best in the UK?

So I got my pics today from PS....sent via mail vs email so this is a screen shot. Wowzers I forgot how much volume I didn’t have, so pleased with the results, feel like I’m loving them more every day

Loving them more every day, scaring is improving and things deffo feel more normal if that makes sense
The side with the nipple lift looks better and once that scar fades I think they will be great
Started back doing some light upper body stuff which feels fine. I teach Pilates so have been gradually getting myself back into it for a few weeks but only just incorporated upper body. Still find a full stretch a bit uncomfortable but can support my own body now which I’m pleased about. Running is no problem and my lower body is on point with al the attention!!

Just had my six month check a couple of months late due to covid but could not be happier. Implants are settling really well and my scarring is fading nicely. I’ve had amazing care from Mr Offer and his team throughout and can highly recommend. He listened to what I wanted and I got it, a very natural but fuller look. All the worry I had before the op feels odd now but I took my time and wanted to be sure which I’d definitely recommend. Loving the girls
