Today I had a consultation with Dr Amir Tadros, at the BMI Albyn hospital Aberdeen, Scotland for a breast augmentation.
A bit about me: I'm 23 years old, 5'10", slightly heavier than I should be/used to be, no children, 34A bra size. I have wanted a breast enlargement for years and with my first job after university I will be able to pay for it. Researching before the appointment I thought I would want anatomical implants under the muscle to make a large B/C cup.
Arranging the initial appointment was easy and I didn't have to wait long. Helen, Dr Tadros' secretery was extremely friendly and helpful. She phoned me a few days before the procedure to explain what will happen and the basics, and also gave me an idea of how long I would have to wait for a surgical date which was good as I had to readjust my expectations! I'm obviously impatient.
The appointment was pleasant. Dr Tadros introduced his self, took a brief history, offered a chaperone, and examined by breasts and took measurements. He told me that I have accessory breast tissue, in both armpits (I thought it was just fat!) which makes the breasts look smaller as it hollows out the upper portion of the breasts. The options were to bulk out the hollow with implants and/or remove the accessory tissue surgically during the procedure. This would require a larger scar and the risk of excess skin. He advised that I get sub glandular round implants! Totally different to my expectations but he explained it well and I agree. Thinking about it, I would like if the accessory breast tissue could be removed at least partially as I can't wear anything strapless at the moment, and I always have flesh sticking out bras/swimming costumes.
Dr Tadros likes his patients to have a 2-3 month cooling off period, then have a further consultation to discuss the implants more, then the date of surgery can be booked. I left the consultation feeling excited and confident in Dr Tadros' judgement. Can't wait for the next stage!

March 1st
So excited. After weeks of trying to find an available date for surgery that fits in with my rota and swapping with colleagues, I've finally booked March 1st! It doesn't seem like a long time away. I'm sure the time will fly by. Currently trying to get in shape and lose as much weight as I can, since I'm at my heaviest I've ever been (relationship, new shift work job, general love affair with bread) and I know I can't do strenuous exercise after the op.
I will have an appointment in February to try sizers and decide on what size to go for. I wish I could bring my boyfriend along for a second opinion but he is in Australia at the moment. I'm hoping for a full C or D.
Also, I only have 12 days off after the op to recover. I hope that's enough. I go back to a busy and active job.
Would love to hear about a few things:
1. I'm nervous to tell my parents, I think they will be angry and disapprove! Anyone been in this situation?
2. I'm wondering how to deal with colleagues and acquaintances who will notice. How have people found the reaction?
Thanks ladies!

Oh that's nice to have a cooling off period. Lots to think about and perhaps plan. ;) Glad your appointment went well. While you're waiting, feel free to post any pre op and/or wish boob pictures you may have collected. It's fun for the community to get an idea of the look you are seeking. Looking forward to following your journey!
