300cc Hp Silicone Overs-5ft 7, 120lbs; 25yr Old; 2kids - London, UK
ORIGINAL POST
Hi lovelies, So I'll try and keep my first post...
WORTH IT
Hi lovelies,
So I'll try and keep my first post sweet and short. As many of you, I have wanted a ba for absolutely ages. I actually went to my first consultation 4 years ago but decided to wait until we have had kids. So now at 25, being a proud mummy of 2 handsome little boys (we are not planning on having any more little monsters) so it's the perfect time for me to get it done.
I had my consultation on 23rd April with Mr Maurino Joffily at the Belvedere Clinic in Abbey Wood, London. This clinic has very mixed reviews but my experience with them so far has been excellent. My patient co-ordinator, Mia is lovely and always available to answer my questions. My consultation was short but informative, ps seemed lovely and professional with loads of experience. He does a lot reconstructive ops so he is familiar with the natural look I am after. In fact, he started off with the question "Natural or fake?" So I am sure he won't give me an uber fake look.
Some of my stats;
Height 5ft 7 (174cm)
Weight 120lbs (54.5kg)
size 6-8 (UK)
BWD 12cm
Ribcage 29"
Pre op Bust 31"
Pre op bra 34b (but don't fill it out!)
Hoping for a nice and full C cup.
What I am getting;
300cc high profile round textured silicone implant placed in a subglandular (over the muscle) placement. Pre consultation I was convinced by my research that I'd only be suitable for under the muscle placement as I am so slim, however it turns out I have more breast tissue than I thought. Happy days. It means that the implant won't look (too) stuck on.
My op is still 2 weeks away which feels like forever!! I'll keep you guys posted. Attached some before photos and some wishboobs. (One of them is actually from this website, greendragon4's boobs are totally awesome!)
Good luck to all my fellow ladies and those who are just recovering from their ba!! xx

11days to go...
The time couldn't possibly pass any slower than this! I just want to get it done so bad!
Anyways, I have bought 2 Macom Signature bras, they look and feel fab! Looking forward to wearing them actually.
I'll check in on the day of my op next... x

Hi missjane91. I'm getting my BA with Maurino Joffilly early June at Belvedere so I'll be following your progress.
I'm getting 275cc overs so similar size to you. I didn't want to go big as I don't want people to know. I just want to fill out my bras and not have to wear ultra padded ones anymore and feel more confident in myself. I'm a 34b but since having my 2 children I have even less tissue there than before. Over the nipple used to have a bit more tissue so I could create a little bit more volume if I wanted with a good bra but now they are more ski slope shape if that makes sense. You can't see as I haven't plucked up the courage to start a review yet and share photos but I am considering it.
I was a bit concerned about the fact that our doctor only seems to do over muscle and did check this. He just prefers to do them like that and thinks they give a better result. Plus I've heard that recovery is generally quicker with overs so I'm not too concerned now.
Good luck for 25th. X

Hi PearlyP, what a lovely name! :)
So you are starting out a little bigger than I am. I chose 300cc because I didn't want to end up with boobie greed as they say... Before my consultation I was so sure that I'd have something between 350-400cc. So when he first offered me the 280cc I was like... NO WAY! It felt soooo small. I was shocked.. but he kindly explained that because I want a natural look I can't go beyond my 'limits'. He said 300cc really is the max. I accepted this as I don't want to end up ridiculously big and now actually think that 300cc really is the right choice. Glad he likes a natural look too. I found him warm, welcoming and professional. What are your thoughts on him?
I was scared of overs too but now that I learnt they are not bad afterall, I am very happy with this placement. Easier recovery is always a bonus with 2 kids... ;) How old are yours?
I think it's a good idea to start documenting your journey, you'll have support from people that truly understand what you're going through. Also, even if you just take photos to keep to yourself - you will be able to see all the little changes your boobies will go through.
Thank you for your kind words, I shall keep you updated!

By the way, now I don't think that 275-300cc range is small - didn't want it to come accross like that! Hahaha x

Hi, I have 2 boys aged 7 and 4. The 7 year old is very energetic and the 4 year old constantly wants cuddles so I'm a bit worried about them getting knocked. Someone on here suggested lots of extra pillows so I'll try that and give the cuddles when they're covered with the pillow security.
I liked our doc too. I asked him loads of questions and he didn't mind. Actually said that other people ask more. This is his most common procedure so I think we're in safe hands but you never truly know til afterwards do you.
In my head I've been thinking have I gone too small but some days I'm thinking it's too big lol. I just have to trust him as he's the expert after all. I'm now confident with my decision though.
I'm literally glued to this app at the moment, looking at other people's boobs lol. Can't think about anything else at the moment, it's all consuming. The surgery can't come quick enough for me now.

I kno what you mean, I am totally the same! Keep looking up things online, by now it's quite hard to find anything new on the topic! :D
That's how I felt... time was just standing still for me. This until I caught a cold from the kids. I am fine now, luckily. Less then a week to go! Woohoo! My surgery admission time should arrive in the post any day now! I will be so relieved to be on the other side, I am sure you feel the same!
I will try the extra pillows cuddle trick too, thanks for that! ;) x

Hi I had my surgery with Maurino last year he's lovely , I havnt wrote a review but did post a question ,, after my surgery , he's very good put me totally at ease I was terrified and he gave me thumbs up sign before they put me to sleep :) I've got to go back as 1 seems to have dropped a bit more which can happen but they will sort it out , but from what I started with I'm still glad I had surgery , I asked for 500 cc and Maurino said no he did show me 280 and I managed to get 450 and he said absolutely no more lol I thanked him on my return as they are fairly big 34b - 34e , hope ur surgery went well [RS bleep]
May 25, 2016
That's nice to hear. He does seem lovely. However, my op has been cancelled as the anaesthetist didn't turn up. Not a happy bunny at the minute to say the least. They offered me 16th June instead. I won't keep my hopes high this time!
May 25, 2016
Oh no! You must be gutted. I'm gutted for you. Fingers crossed it goes ahead on 16th.
May 25, 2016
When is your op PearlyP? Looks like you'll have yours first and I'll be the one following your progress! ;)
I was super upset and very disappointed but got over it as there's nothing I can do! My husband has been a diamond, supporting me through it all. X

2 weeks today. So yes I'll be first. That is if the anaesthetist turns up!
I've heard of a few cancellations at Belvedere. Maybe that's the trade off of getting a good deal with the price.
I really hope we both get our surgery's on the 8th and 16th now.
May 25, 2016
I hope so! I read negative reviews of the belvedere too but thought I have to be very unlucky.. and here I am, still no boobies! Never mind, it's still better than just calling anyone in to do the job!
Fingers crossed for the 8th and 16th indeed.xx

UPDATED FROM missjane91
Day of treatment
BA rescheduled
So today was supposed to be the day of my op but had to reschedule due to a lack of anaesthetist-apparently he didn't turn up for his shift. Saying that I was very upset is an understatement. After a lot of crying and getting comfort from my husband I feel a billion times better and I know that time will fly by... I just try and not get my hopes too high this time! Expect the worst is my tactic this time so I won't get disappointed.
New date is 16th June. Wish me luck! X

Hi, it's such a shame, isn't it? So your admission time must have been early... mine was supposed to be 1.30pm so didn't even make it there.
Have you rebooked?
This doesn't change my opinion on Mr Joffily, he does seem very professional and that you said he looked annoyed too just makes me believe in him more! X

Sorry, half of my message disappeared :( I hope that you're okay. I'm gutted and feel like some of the magic of the excitement has gone. I was sat in my gown waiting to go down :*( Fingers crossed for the next op [RS bleep]

May 27, 2016
Awww bless you! I cried a lot too; it's just all too emotional. We can only hope that it will go ahead the second time around... fingers crossed. Keep me updated! :)
I try not to think about it really, just get on with my life. It's bloody hard though!
What are you getting?x

He must love hp overs! :)
How old are your kids? I am a bit worried as mine are only little. Although I will have plenty of help but still. I guess I can start worry about this once I have had my op! :D
Don't you fancy documenting your journey?x

:) it's winter and cold here, I wish I was in the UK! (My sister lives in Wales). I am getting 350cc teardrop textured, I'm a bit worried about the size. I am going to go back to my surgeon next week I hope and try and the 300cc and 359cc again just to be sure, I want to be and C cup and really don't want to end up being a D cup! I'll do the same, not sure if I'll be up to it post op, but hope to post pics the day after at the least :) x

Well, it's supposed to be summer here but don't get me started! Let's just say that we have to have the heating on!
I can totally understand your fear of going too big. You didn't say whether you'll get unders or overs. They say you should take away about 10% if you go unders. Implants around the 300cc mark should give you an increase of about 2 cup sizes. I also read on a lot of forums that most people with ba measure quite big but look at least a cup size smaller as implants look smaller than natural boobs. I was all over the place - first I thought 300cc is too small then it was too big for my frame but got to a decision that it will be perfect for my frame. Fingers crossed. X

Im going under the muscle, your going over right? Just realised your surgery is June, mine is July! Didn't see that before being so anxious about the while thing LOL :) I'm so nervous even with 6 weeks to go. Not long for you now, I hope your excited!
June 8, 2016
When's your op now Hun? I had mine done yesterday.....so pleased [RS bleep]
June 8, 2016
You're so lucky they could fit you in relatively quickly. Mine is a week from tomorrow! :(
I am glad you're pleased with your results! Xx

Oh bless you. Hopefully you won't get any issues this time, the anaesthetist is in the dog house lol. My pic are under Dr Joffily's reviews on here. [RS bleep]
June 8, 2016
I've just had mine too. I will do a review when I'm feeling up to it. But all good. Staff here have been really nice. Especially the nurse Tess. She's been (and still is ) looking after me and had been amazing. I feel better each hour that passes.
June 8, 2016
Awwwww! Sooo jealous!! I am glad yours didn't get cancelled, I am still so nervous it will happen to me again! :(
However, great to hear about your positive experience! Keep us updated! Wishing you a quick and easy recovery! X
