My Breast Augmentation is the Best Thing I Have Ever Done.

WORTH IT
For years I have been thinking about this surgery never being totally happy with my breasts. After looking weight recently I was even more unhappy and as I am 40 next year I wanted to make this the year for me, finally doing what I would like to do and making myself happy rather than doing everything for everyone else.

After extensive research i knew I did not want to go too big with the implant just fill out what I had and a little more. I was interested in the Motiva preserve method as it seemed the best for my lifestyle, the most minimal harm to the breast tissue and minimal down time were the biggest pull. After so much research I wanted to go with the best of the best therefore found Mr Paul Banwell.

From the first meeting I knew this was who I wanted to do my surgery, his knowledge, advice, support and care were perfect. We discussed size and he addressed any concerns I had about the procedure. Then his incredible team at the pantheons clinic addressed any other questions I had at any time. Harriet and Aimee were so caring and supportive also I felt so comfortable with the entire team.

I had my surgery at the East Grinstead clinic, the wonderful Mcindoe center where it was like being looked after by a team of angels. I felt very supported every step of the way. Arrived at 7.15 after fasting overnight before the general anaesthetic. Met the anaesthetist who was very knowledgeable and supportive. Met my wonderful surgeon again to confirm 165cc motiva ergonomix 2 implants, he drew on me all the details he needed and we were ready to go. I was told I was third on the list, I really didn’t wait long at all, lovely Tom and the anaesthetist team kept me calm before the surgery. The next thing I knew I was waking up, no pain just slightly dazed from the anaesthetic had some yummy food, Paul came in to check on me which was very lovely then I went home the same day.

Left with antibiotics & pain killers to help with sleep & healing. I am now 5 days post surgery and truly the only thing I have felt is a slight tightness across my chest and slight pulling on one side (my right side) I am right handed so this is my dominant side for reaching, opening doors writing etc so it’s understandable there is always one side that can hurt a little more but I haven’t needed any pain killers at all. Listen to your surgeons advice and take it easy after surgery it’s is still serious and you will take time to heal, if you look after yourself your implants will look after you.

I haven’t even passed a week post surgery and I LOVE MY BREASTS SO MUCH I can’t stop looking at them it truly is the best thing I have ever done. I can’t wait for the drop and fluff in a few months time but they already look beautiful I was a small 32b before and would say I am already a 32c/d but have to wait for all the swelling to go down. (Most of it has already gone!) I had a macron post surgery bra after of which I ordered 2 so I can alternate just to keep clean and I showered the next day 24 hours later! Was just very careful around the incision areas (they are taped with very strong surgical tape but be careful) I also dry my tapes after the shower with a hairdryer on a low cool setting before I put my surgical bra back on which is very comfy. They don’t look fake at all I can’t see any edge or even really feel them.

I had so many questions before hand so please ask me anything you want to I am so happy to answer anything you need.

Dr Paul Banwell is truly the best I am so so happy he did my surgery and I’m just over the moon with how perfect they look. Thank you Paul for making me like me again xx
