Breast Augmentation

WORTH IT

I’ve been wanting a breast enlargement for many years as I had no self confidence and the only thing stopping me was the fear factor !!
This year I decided to look into it and went to the Spire and met up with one of their surgeons Nigel Horlock.
Nigel put me at ease straight away and explained everything In great detail and it was clear it had to be totally my decision, and I went away to think about it.
In February I decided to go ahead and the whole experience has been a really good decision for me. I have confidence, feel great and am really pleased with the results.
Nigel and everyone at the Spire were excellent and very supportive during my stay and with the aftercare.
I’m totally amazed at how quickly the scars have healed and the recovery generally.
I would highly recommend Nigel Horlock for anyone considering this type of surgery ... he’s an excellent surgeon ????

They look great. What type and size did you get?

Hi, I left the decision in the end to the surgeon, because I was so small (less than an A cup) he wanted to try different sizes and shapes ... in the end I had 325 and shaped ... I’m a generous C cup now and I love them

Are they high profile ?

The surgeon knew I was worried about them looking too false, which is why he decided on the shaped implant in the end over the rounded ...I would say this makes them low profile and a more natural appearance definitely

Glad he was able to listen to your needs. So far so good. They do have more of a natural shape.

Hi SasLu, I am booked in for breast augmentation with Nigel Horlock in April. Something I have wanted to do forever but finally decided to go for it! He thinks 325 shaped implants would be best for me, can I ask if yours are under the muscle? That's what I need to go for.

Hi yes mine are under muscle
Nigel is very good and will definitely tell you what he thinks is best for you .... I’m a year on now and very pleased with how they’ve settled and the shape and size of them

Hi SasLu, I had my breast surgery on Wednesday with Mr Horlock, we decided on 325 shaped implants too and I'm really happy with the result. Feeling a little sore today, went for fairly long walk with the children and I think that was a bit much so soon. Feeling quite tight, was it the same for you? Can I ask if you had a breast band to wear on the top of the breast above the sports bra? I have one but didn't see Mr Horlock again before I was discharged to ask him about it. I've read it's to stop the implant riding up too high? Also, were you advised to do any massage to the breasts in the first week? I've read that it can help stop capsular contracture but don't want to do anything I've not been advised to do. My follow up appointment is on the 18th, did you get more information then? Sorry for all the questions x

Hi CLoui
Don’t overdo it... I’m a runner and took 7 weeks off and took it really easy as advised. Get help with anything you can ... even easing your hair !!
I just had the bra, no band ... they will settle down eventually. My aren’t high st all and yes felt very tight to start but they do soften lots in time. Mine still feel a little tight when I get my period but then I always had sensitive breasts st that time anyway.
Just take it easy, you’ll be happy with the results, I am

Thanks so much SasLu, really appreciate it, I didn't know what to expect so it's great to hear that it's all normal. I have some swelling and realised last night it's swollen between my breasts, suppose this is all normal. Think I'll relax more once I've seen Mr Horlock on Thursday. Going out today with the children but will take it easy and let hubby run around after them. We managed to wash my hair last night in the sink, so feeling better! Were you running again after 7 weeks? That's amazing. I run and I feel so worried about getting back to it. Do you find it ok and still enjoy it? Thanks again.

Yes I went for my sign off appt and ran from the hospital to the ferry
