BA with Dr Fazel. 42 Year Old Mother of 3, All Breastfed

At the age of 42 and having breastfed three children my breasts had lost all of their fullness and firmness, and I couldn’t help but feel that my best years were definitely behind me in terms of my body. My self confidence had been affected by many things since having children and this was one that bothered me every time I undressed to take a shower and saw myself in the mirror.
I decided to look into breast augmentation procedures and did a lot of research. When I read everyone’s stories and realised that an augmentation is not just for young women wanting big breasts to conform to some messed up societal norm, I thought about how I would feel if I had fuller breasts again. It was then that I rang the private clinic for a consultation just so that I could start asking some questions.
I chose the Private Clinic because of their reviews and because of their before and after photos which looked more natural than others I’d seen. I went for a consultation in Birmingham with Steve who was so lovely and made me feel at ease with considering having surgery. There were also other women my age at the clinic which also put me at ease. Steve answered all my questions and never tried to ‘sell’ the procedure to me.
After a lot (A LOT) of procrastination and deciding not to do it, then deciding to go ahead, I took advice from a friend not to overthink it and just got for it if that’s what I wanted. So I booked up and paid.
I chose to go with Dr Fazel because his profile looked amazing and his before and after photos resembled the results I wished to achieve (natural looking) so I made an appointment to meet him. He was pleasant, down to earth, knowledgable and sounded well experienced. He got what it was I wanted to acheive and I felt sure he knew how to achieve it.
Surgery was uneventful and recovery was so much easier than I had expected after doing all my research. The most important points are that I had no side-effects from the GA so no sickness or nausea. I also had no pain when I woke up. I felt tight and a bit strange but no pain. Some people had said that they felt like they had a weight on their chest or something stuck on their chest. I did not feel anything like that. Just a little tender maybe.
I took the painkiller as prescribed when I got home and the next morning then after that I took no painkillers because I wasn’t in any pain!
I had no constipation, mainly because I didn’t take the painkillers, but also because I ate clean before and after surgery.
And I had minimal swelling. I was scared to look at my breasts post-surgery because I was expecting them to look horrid and really high up, but they looked perfectly fine. They were just tight and solid but they were already a gorgeous shape.
I did as I was told during the following weeks but recovered more quickly than expected. I was able to do things comfortably before I expected to have been able to. Don’t get me wrong, the process takes time and patience, but given that I’d had major surgery, I felt good and felt like I did really well, making the decision to have a breast augmentation well worth it.
I am now 6 week post-op and my breasts are just what I hoped they would be. A fuller and firmer version of what they were, about 2 cup sizes bigger than before at most.
I have been happy with my choice of surgeon and am happy with my results and the process to get here.

These are two before pics. You can see there is no fullness above the nipple line. This is a B-cup bra and it was gaping much of the time. I am now filling out a D-cup bra and happy with my shape and size. I feel good naked and when I’m dressed I don’t feel like I have big boobs, just normal proportions.
