It's five days pre-op and I'm suddenly questioning my decision

ORIGINAL POST

Breast Augmentation - 180cc - Aged 47 - Runner

After four years of 'thinking' and looking for the right surgeon I finally booked an augmentation with Paul Banwell for May 2024. Mr Banwell was great during the consultation and the numerous calls we had - he was everything I was looking for non judgmental and very clear on what was possible.

I am an avid runner - usually training 6/7 days a week so was very keen that the size was right, and not too big for my small frame and activity levels.

It's five days pre-op and I'm suddenly questioning my decision - why am i doing this? Why have I prioritised this? Right now I'm questioning why I decided to get this done.

I'm sharing this in case someone in the future has the same emotions. The opp will lead to 6 weeks off training - in retrospect my body may welcome the rest - but right now i'm questioning why and how I will cope with this.

Having fed three babies and lost a lot of body fat from running - my natural breasts are a shadow of what they were. Sharing before pics now.

I will update once on the other side.

I kind of went through the same thing. After so many months of getting excited, I feel like the nerves really hit the week before and I too suddenly questioned what I was doing for the first time. The reality that I was actually doing this just kind of hit hard. On the morning of surgery it surprisingly went away and all my excitement came back. Now 3 months post op I’m so glad I did it. The time has gone by so fast!

Good luck with your surgery!
Thank you!! All happened today - already quite happy - so glad you hear all went well for you. Thanks for the comment
How's it going? Keen for an update and pics as I'm considering the same with Dr Banwell! Thanks
