I've finally done it! I've booked myself in for...
$3,420
I've finally done it! I've booked myself in for the procedure I've wanted all my adult life!!
I have never been blessed with boobs. I've gone through life basically blagging the world into believing I have something up top by using the most padded, underwired, cleavage enhancing bras I can find and/or using large chicken fillet inserts. That said, I don't lie to people....I just don't go around showing my true flat-chested self in public or shout it from the hilltops that I'm flat as a pancake, so yeah, the world is pretty much clueless and think I have a "perfect figure". The sad truth, is that I do not. :'(
I have always been really self-conscious about my breasts (or lack thereof). I hate wearing swimsuits/bikinis and I stress majorly before any holiday about having to try and conceal myself in such small attire. I have also been unable to enjoy swimming and my child is therefore unable to still swim aged 9. :( Not good I know, but this lacking of breasts really does interfere with my life on a wider level. I owe it to her and myself to get this "issue" fixed so that I can feel normal about such things.
I've always said to close friends and family "If I could afford it, I'd have them done!". They've never seen me bra-less, so they don't understand....but they're not judgemental about it (in the main anyway).
I've researched boob jobs for years, I've looked at the different types of implants on offer, I've read reviews, I've seen the horror stories, I've watched the procedures being done on TV.....but I just feel like I'm going around in circles.
Anyway, I've finally saved enough to do it, and I'm taking the plunge! I can finally afford it because I'm going abroad to Brussels to have my procedure done at the Beaucare Clinic (I live in the UK). I've only told a handful of people about the op. My husband is very supportive. He loves me as I am, but he's supportive of my choice and has been nothing but a rock about it all. My little girl is also very supportive. I've been very open and honest with her about it all. I've also explained to her that this is not about vanity and wanting to look good for everyone else. This is about looking good to me! I want to feel good in clothes (and to have them fit properly), I want to be able to go swimming and not have to fear that a chicken fillet may slip out! It happened to me once several years ago and I've not gone swimming since.
My daughter doesn't want me to go big, and neither do I. I want to look as natural as possible. To the outside world, there may not look to be a lot of difference in my overall look (I already look to be a full B/C cup with my wonder bras and fillets), but when the clothes come off, I'll still have what I project to the world after I've had surgery. This is all I hope for. :)
To be clear, I want this for me. I'd also love for hubby to have a pair of boobs in his hands for the first time ever! lol I'd love to be able to wear sexy lingerie and to dress up nice for him. We've been married for 16 years, things are good....but I'd like to give him something more.
My 1st pre-op consultation is with the Harley Group in London on 31st August. I'm really confused about the sizing in CC's. I've tried looking at lots of before and afters - trying to look at girls who are small like me and then to see how they look after, but it's still confusing the hell out of me....Every one of those girls have had something different! And the difference between saline and Silicone changes immensely. :(
I'm hoping my PS will be able to advise me properly based on my selection of wish pics (which all look the same pretty much in respect of size, profile, slope, distance apart etc).
I know that I'm having Round cohesive gel implants by the company Sebbin (10 yr guarantee on the implants). There is no choice offered in respect of the implants from my clinic, but I've researched and am happy with the brand etc. I just hope I can achieve the look I want from them. I am not sure yet whether I'll need to have high profile or moderate profile (based on the final result I want). I'm hoping my PS will be able to advise me better on this also. I just don't want to look like a Barbie doll with beach balls stuck on the front of her chest wall. I want to look pert and beautiful like the ladies in my wish pics. I'm not really sure what bust size these girls are but I'm guessing a full C-cup?
I am nervous....mostly about the post op (recovery). I've taken 10 days off work so I'm hoping this will give me enough time to recover. I work with children, so I need to have a lot of energy in my line of work. Here's hoping I'll be okay.
Anyway, I'll post some Wish pics here for now...and over the next few weeks I'll post some before pics (naked and in clothes) and some pics of how I look with all my padding/fillets (which is not too far removed from the look I'd like to achieve - I may like slightly bigger but not much).
I'll try to update every step of the way. Wish me luck guys!! And thanks for sharing all your stories on here. It's been good to read them.

I understand about doing little tricks to give yourself cleavage. I have a super padded bra and wear a tight sports bra too and it helps push everything together and gives an appearance that I have boobs lol. I also want my partner to finally be able to have some boobs to grab. He says he doesn't mind and loves them but he loves me and would never hurt my feelings. Although he is afraid of them looking completely different . I keep tellin him my boobs are still there it's just a bigger version of my boobs

My husband is the same. He loves me as I am. I never had boobs when we met, so he knew what he was getting. However, he knows how much this means to me and is excited for me to be fially getting my dream. He's been really very supportive and i'm sure he'll love having them there too. It may be weird at first, but he'll love them all the same. Hope your hubby loves yours too. :) x

Hi there!
It's brilliant you're taking the plunge! I'm now 4 days post op and can't stop looking and touching! My before frontal pic actually looks bigger than I was. I'd say 34 a and a half, never filled a b unless they were heavily padded and I could push the little bit I had got upwards ! I asked for a d cup . I had 300cc overs and who knows what they will measure up to be , I'm guessing full c maybe small d, either way I love them and sure you will do too! Like you I never thought this day would EVER come for me
Good luck
Donna

Hi Donna, Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate the support. :)
I've been looking over pics for weeks now and know how they change so much that first month after surgery, so I know you're still in the "wait and see!" stage. I really hope they turn out to look how you'd hoped.
I'm still worried about asking for the right size. It's so hard!! I know what I want, but knowing what to actuallyask for is the difficult part. I think I'm edging towards 375/350cc moderate, but I guess the PS will be able to better advise me next week. Here's hoping he makes me feel a little less "lost".
Please keep me updated on your progress. :)

Pre-op boobies (or lack thereof!) :(
Here are some pics of my pre-op boobies. I don't even fill out a 34b bra. :(
I just want to feel like a woman!! I want to fill out my clothes, to be able to wear a bikini/swimsuit and to look the same when the clothes come off (e.g. Not look flat as a pancake the minute my chicken fillets/padded bra comes off).
When I wear a hugely padded bra and/or chicken fillets (which add 2 cup sizes to my size), feel like a woman, but I am sadly reminded of my true self every evening when the clothes hit the floor. :'(
I don't want to go much bigger than my look with all the padding.....but I don't mind going slightly bigger (as long as it looks natural on my frame). My wish pics are perfect in size, shape and overall look!! What size would you say these are? having never had boobs, i'm really not sure...I'm thinking a C/D?

I mean I don't even fill out a 34A bra (not 34B - I wish!).
September 13, 2016
Your size is similar to mine and I know what u mean about bathing suits. It's horrible
September 14, 2016
Yes it really is! :'( It puts a real downer on my holidays. I can't wait to fix that! :)

Hi there!
Well done for taking the plunge :) I'm 6 days post op and recovering reallyou well. I was half cup 34b and loved the look in my 2 sizes bigger bra. I had 34d in mind and luckily my surgeon came up with the same figure. I think it suits my frame really well and couldn't be happier and I'm sure you won't regret it :)
