35, 3 children 32a having 365cc b-lite implants
I had gone from a 30C confident but small chested lady to a lucky if I could wear 32a insecure mother.
I struggled to be naked in front my husband and hated the stuck on cup look when I wore clothes. I could not bring myself to wear my thing less than Heavily padded bras. My confidence was gone.
My goal : just to feel feminine, personal confidence and body balance. I was not worried about cup size but nor did I want judgement of “wow she’s had. Boob job”. My confidence levels could not cope with potential criticism or questions.
I’m approximately 120lbs, I rarely get on scales 5’5 and a UK size 8.
I have hips and a narrow waist and would be ‘hourglass’ shape if classified in the body shape guide.
I chose b-lite implants due to my small frame. I like to work out, I have a very crime e lifestyle and my surgeon thought the reduced weight was the best option.
I originally wanted to anatomical ‘teardrop’ show as I was looking or the natural look & drop of a 35-36 year old. Due to my lack of body tissue on my chest we opted fo sub muscular, hiding the edges of the implants so it made sense to have found implants as the muscle would squeeze the top.
I thought I would share my journey as I have valued the knights offered by others on here...
Day of surgery
All went well.
My chest felt very heavy but the pain was not too bad. Manageable with paracetamol & ibuprofen. My body was exhausted though nd the general anaesthetic was not great. I was so wobbly, I really struggled to get up. I tried to go to th toilet, a nurse was with me as had to assist me with the drains .... I had pipes everywhere it seemed at first! As I got up my head spun and I nearly fell. Not nice my Blood pressure plummeted. Had to use a commode ???? I’m very private person. Ended up staying in two nights, dizziness & smll children do not mix! Day 1 I moved more, day two I could stand up again and felt much better.

Symptoms of healing
My bandages came off day 8 and I found that a great relief. They were so tight, it felt like a badly fitting bra digging in, especially under my arms. I was struggling to do the exercises the physio had given me.
My first shower was heavenly
In past two weeks I have had lots of nerve rebuilding. It’s like lots of mini electric shocks, mild but noticeable. They don’t last long but are often.
Still feeling very numb around my lower breast and my sides, still a little numb on my back but sensation is returning. It was weird at first as I had not read anything about numbness on my back.
My breasts are gradually moving in to place, it is hard to describe but it’s a stretching slightly heavy feeling. The feeling changes position every couple of days.
Post op days 21-28 have definitely been my biggest change so far. I was told off for doing too much before. Mum of 3 and self employed it was tricky to do much less. I have been good and not been picking up my 18month old until this week. Even now I do as little as possible.
I am so itchy! My scar sites worst of all but I feel a bit like a snake by the dead skin I am finding every morning when I change my bra! Loads of laundry!!
I’m looking forward to trying new bras, no idea what size I am yet. Still very firm & tender to touch. Awaiting my 6 week appointment to know I can look for other underwear out of surgical & sports bras.
