I have a consultation with Mr Liew through MyBreast at St Helens clinic. Currently very small chested - wear a 34B in some bras and 34A in others! I'm looking to go to a full C cup maybe a D - I'll have to try on a few sizes I guess! I'm wanting to go for a natural look, and just generally feel more confident when it comes to clothing/underwear/swimwear! I live in jumpers 4 sizes too big all year round at the minute!
It's something I have been considering since about 18 however have always just pushed it to the side and prayed I was a late developer!!! I think it's time to take the plunge!
I work in a very active job that often means I end up in some rough and tumble situations - I'm hoping this doesn't massively affect having the implants, although I am expecting to have to work from the office for maybe a month or so. Has anyone else had a similar situation?
Also having had no children yet, but hoping to in the next 4/5 years, has anyone experienced any major differences in their implants or breastfeeding? My other half doesn't think I need the implants but it's supportive of whatever I choose to do, although I think he is getting bored of my constant talking about it!
I am hoping to throw all these questions at Mr Liew next week but would love to hear from some women that are in or have been in the same situation?
Thanks!

I have found this site so helpful! I have finally gone ahead and booked in for my surgery on 9th March!!! I will be having my surgery at Fairfield Independent Hospital in St Helens. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I'm currently a 34B at most and am just looking forward to feeling a lot more confident in myself. I have shown Mr Liew photographs of the type of look I am hoping for. I am wanting to be a full C cup small D cup. mr Liew said I would be best suited with 360cc in my initial consultation, although I only tried on 330cc which I liked. I am a bit worried about going too big. But I think I need to trust Mr Liew as he is the professional and is of the opinion the size will be in proportion with my body. I will upload some wish pics and also some before pics!
I have booked the first week off work and then will be returning on light duties (I have quite an active job) for 5 weeks before returning to full duties.

Had my pre op this afternoon. Took my Nan with me who agreed that everyone at Fairfield is so nice and it's a really comfortable place. Everything is good to go for Thursday now! I'm nervous/excited but more excited. I just hope that I am pleased with the results. The nurse said today that Mr Liew is excellent and everyone is always really pleased with their results.
I've got a night shift tonight and then another tomorrow before my op which is afternoon theatre on Thursday. Being admitted in at 12:30!!!!!

It's time! I've just been all marked up by Mr Liew! I'm sooooo nervous now - is it too late to back out? Haha. I think I am more excited. I just hope they aren't too big. See you on the other side! By bye little boobies

I did it!!!! I'm feeling over the moon but very tired. I'm not in a massive amount of pain just discomfort and feeling quite tight. I can see the skin between my boobs is pulling so I'm hoping that settles as the swelling goes down. Mr Liew has just been back in to see me and said that everything went well. I went with 360cc over the muscle. There was the option for 390cc but the sizers I tried were 360 and I didn't want to be any bigger! I'm excited now just to see the girls start to d&f. Staying in at Fairfield overnight then back home tomorrow. Feeling shattered already so hopefully sleep won't be too much of a problem!

Back home and all snuggled up with my monkey. Propped on on my two pillows and a 12ft maternity pillow to stop me rolling over in the night. I'm a side sleeper. We are currently renovating our house (hence the disgusting walls and mess) so I'm going to be staying with my nan for the next few days. So so tired so hoping to catch a few zzzzz's. Pain wise I'm feeling pretty good, I haven't had any painkillers since I left hospital this morning. Only moment that caused me to nearly pass out with pain was when my other half forgot I'd had surgery and whilst holding my hand started swing it!!!! Followed by an OMG I'm so sorry but which meant slamming me into his chest! Bless him. Back at the hospital Wednesday for my post op appointment.

Woke up this morning in not much pain at all just a dull ache and a bit tight. Popped a couple of paracetamol and my antibiotics and feeling okay. My only issue was I didn't sleep great. I was propped up on all my pillows which didn't help - but I kept on waking up with the achiest heels??! It was agony! I've taken off my surgical stockings this morning and I'm going to give myself a wash down with a flannel as I can't shower til Wednesday and feel grim already!!!
Last night I think I went through all the emotions. I went from thinking I hadn't gone big enough to wondering if I should have even done it at all. Forgot all that nonsense this morning though! Feeling good and can't wait to see them start to change!!!

I am obsessing over the littlest things, even though I know that they are things that I won't know until they have settled!! I'm like are they too far apart are they to small are they too big etc. I need to CHILL. But meanwhile I snapped a pic pulling down the compression bra which is actually starting to hurt a bit now! Got to keep it on til Wednesday though when I go back for my post op.

So my hair was so majorly greasy it was disgusting so I just got my other half to help me and washed it in the shower. I was super careful and tried not to let any water get on them but unfortunately they got a little bit wet, and the way I was positioned I feel like I may have over done it a little bit :( I've changed bra into a dry one but just hoping this won't affect things! Two days til my post op....

I had my post op on Wednesday and Mr Liew said everything seems to be healing well. He said to get fitted with a normal bra by the time I come back for my next appointment on 5th April. He said I also didn't have to continue wearing my support bra if I didn't want to but I spent damn near £80 on them so I'm gonna be wearing them until they can be worn no more!! My incision is bleeding a little bit - I don't think I am overdoing it massively but maybe I am doing just a bit too much! I just get so bored not being able to do much but I wouldn't want to scupper my results. Added some photos. Just waiting for these girlies to drop on down!!!

I'm so in love with my new boobies!!! I feel like they have dropped loads and softened up quite a bit! Although I hope they still have lots of softening to do! Got my 1 month PO with Mr Liew tomorrow
