Implant Replacement. 410cc Round to 485cc B-lite Anatomical.
I initially had breast implants aged 19, which I later found were PIP implants. I had them replaced around 10 years ago. I previously had 410cc moderate plus profile round implant which I loved until a couple of years ago. I’ve aged since having them in and lost breast tissue, and I just felt like they looked very unnatural and “stuck on”.
My breasts have always sat quite low on my chest wall but I felt like this looked more exaggerated over time. As I was no longer happy with the look of my implants, and they were over 10 years old, I decided to get them replaced.
I found Petros Yiannoullou on social media as I was looking for surgeons in the UK who offer teardrop/anatomical implants. There are 2 surgeons at Art Breast Clinic (that I’m aware of), Petros and Ashley Topps. I did my research but couldn’t find any reviews for Petros on real self, but he has lots of great reviews on another site.
I booked a consultation and from the moment I met Petros he made me feel at ease and really listened to what I disliked and what I wanted to achieve.
I really liked the “gentle slope” look on the upper breast, instead of the high projection, rounded look that I currently had. We went through options of different providers and sizes and decided on b-lite 485cc ultra high profile anatomical.
I was advised that these would look more natural than my current implants and not look as projected in the upper pole.
Because of how thorough and knowledgeable Mr Yiannoullou was, I didn’t feel the need to see any other surgeons for a consultation, so once I got home I booked a surgery date via the patient coordinator, Katie, who has been nothing but helpful and super-responsive so far.
I then started to worry that the ultra high profile would still look too fake, even in the teardrop shape, so I messaged Katie and asked for some advice from Petros. Within a few hours Petros has rang me and had an in depth conversation about my options again and reassured me that there was no pressure to decide on implant type at this stage. He explained that although the implant is UHP, because it’s anatomical, it won’t give that fake, round look like my current implants.
I thought it over for a couple of weeks before deciding to go with Petros’ recommendation on 485cc b-lites, as previously agreed.
My surgery was booked for approx 4 weeks later, on 8th April.
I had my surgery yesterday at Hale Private Clinic. My admission time was 11am, but there was a slight delay so I didn’t go down for surgery until around 1:30pm. Petros was still in surgery with another Patient when I was admitted, but he came to see me once he was free, went through everything and marked me up.
The nurse, Cathy, went into surgery with me and held my hand whilst the anaesthetic was administered - which was so lovely of her.
When I woke from surgery I felt quite sore (and very sleepy). I had a nurse (Shona) sitting with me in recovery, and Petros came in to say the surgery went ok, and went through a few more details with me. This is the first time that I’ve had anaesthetic and not felt really shaky and cold afterwards, I felt “with it” very quickly after coming around.
I was then moved to a bay and advised that I needed observations periodically, for at least 2 hours post op. I also needed to eat something without being sick, and urinate, before being considered for discharge.
The nurse, Amy, kept a close eye on me and was checking that I was ok and comfortable.
I was discharged around 2.5-3 hours after surgery and given antibiotics, pain relief and anti-sickness (just in case).
The initial soreness I had, faded very quickly, and I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I’ve had b-lite implants which are lighter, or another reason, but I haven’t had any pain at all since I first came out of surgery, and even then it was only a little soreness.
It’s still very early days and the lack of pain may change, and I’m not sure what my new boobs look like, but so far I’m beyond pleased with my experience with Art breast clinic and Mr Yiannoullou, everything went smoothly and I felt like I was in very safe hands.
