I was an empty 34B I worked really worked hard to keep myself in shape, but nothing could change my sad little breasts.
so I decided to have breast implants I went with 310cc moderate profile overs and they are only 2 days old. so far the recovery has been more painful than expected but I do love the fullness I now have. I would guess im a large C small D cup but its too early to tell. my surgeon was very direct and would not allow any other size or implant type. on one hand this took alot of the worry about choosing correctly but it was also scary leaving my breasts completely in his hands (so to speak) I will but post op pictures on when I am feeling better. I wil then give a more detailed review.

I'm only 3 days post op and my PS has bandaged me up like a mummy lol so I cannot really show anything worth seeing at this point, however when bandages are off I'll post before and after photos and update my review x

I have wanted a BA since I was 18, after I had my daughter and I'm 32 this year... After consultations in my 20's and putting it off due to 'mum guilt' I finally went with Dr De Gado at the Birkdale clinic, Liverpool in the UK. Price was £3000 which is very cheap in comparison to other UK prices. However after researching and weighing up the pros and cons I decided this was the right place for me due to the location of the hospital and the reputation of the surgeon NOT because of the price!
I had heard that my PS was conservative and a perfectionist I felt safer knowing I was getting someone who would do what was best for me and not just whatever the hecked I said lol!
His bedside manner wasn't the greatest but he was thorough in his assessments and measurements and took into consideration my lifestyle choices.
I'm very active and enjoy running and interval training so huge breasts would be too restrictive for me anyway. I'm posting some before pictures below xx

Hi I've recently been to birkdale in Rotherham for a consultation and was just wondering how your found your experience with them? I have researched loads and the offer price drew my attention but my consultation was a totally different price. However like you I like the clinic and I think I may go with them. I just don't feel like I had much info about warranty/the procedure its self etc. I have been recommended 375cc natrelle under the muscle. I'm 5.6ft 9 stone and 34b wanting to be a nice 34d x

So I went in April 8th- yep 4 days ago!!
This is what happened:
10am- admitted to ward given sexy gown and paper knickers to wear. Lovely staff and nurses all introduced themselves and asked multiple questions about my health and wellbeing.
11.30am- met with anesthetist and PS was told exactly what was going to happen and my boobies were drawn on and photographed.
12pm- really nervous and anxious walking to theatre. Staff very reassuring. Cannula inserted into hand which hurt a bit!
Felt sick and like I was drunk!!! And then I was out!!
13.15- woke up to member of staff gently waking me I thought he wasn't husband and chatted absolute nonsense to him haha!! Realised where I was and fell to sleep lol.
2pm- woke up and felt like a man was standing on my chest, very heavy right feeling and some pain. Couldn't move and felt uncomfortable, realised I had to 'bum shuffle' backwards to sit up NOT use arms ouch!!! Was give codine by nice nurse and glass of water.
3pm- tablets working feel less pain and able to eat. No nausea as had anti emetic meds during op.
4pm- felt able to have a wee and get dressed. Sore upon movement but ok pain when sat still. Feel groggy but excited boobs look fuller but too bandaged up to really tell.
5pm- going home ! Husband collected me and he looked relieved to see me lol journey home was painful I felt every bump on the road! Eeeek!!
I pretty much slept rest of day. I'm wearing post op garment on pictires so boobs look small.
