Tear Drop / Gummy Bear Implants, tall, moderate plus, 380 and 430cc, subpectoral - Cardiff, GB

So, I've wanted implants since I can remember. As a teen I was lucky to be an 34A cup, now I'm 38 I'd say I have a little more (also a bit more weight on me at this age) being generous would say I'm a 34B.

I went for a consultation in my early 20s however, some life events prevented me from moving ahead. Now at 38 there is nothing stopping me. My husband and family are all supportive.
So I started by doing my research and booked some consultations. I went to my first with MAY in Cardiff. I love all their advertising and the lady was lovely. However, I didn't realise that I would still have to go to London for my surgery. For me this isn't an option. With such a big operation the last thingbi want to do is be away from home. Anyway, they quoted me £4,999 with basic round implants and day patient! Have to say i was a bit shocked by the price. Especially if you consider a number of things: travel to London for 2 people (you need a chaperone) on the train is very expensive, 2 night's stay could easily add another £500 onto the cost. Plus being away from home just did not add up to me.
Following this I called the other agents I had set consultatuons with the check location of surgery. All were outside of Cardiff.
Therefore, I cancelled all appointments and went direct to the local hospitals. I found a surgery I liked the look of and who specialised in reconstruction surgery( plus much more), with tons of experience, Mr Amar Ghattaura.
I met with Mr Ghattaura and he was all I hoped he would be.
He was very thorough and recommended tear drop implants and explained he likes his patients to stay overnight. This made me feel more comfortable about his professionalism. Due to the lack of tissue and the height of my chest he recommend tall tear drop implants, under the muscle, from 330cc -400cc.
I know that tear drop implants cost quite a bit more, plus an ovetnight stay can add an extra £500 so I was worried about the quote. I was relieved when it came back at £4,850 :).
I am now booked in for my sizing on 28th March. I want a natural look but I also want to make sure they are big enough. I will be gutted if they are too small, I really want a good cleavage, not bothered some much about the projection.

Any advice on sizing would be welcomed.

So, so excited to get my boobs...

Operation day today! Was in by 10am and out by 12:30. I had opted for 400cc, jnder muscle, teardrop tall, moderate plus profile with some flexibility around that for my asymmetry. I ended up with 380cc in my right and 430cc in my left. They have been amazing at Spire. They insist you stay overnight due to having drains in and to ensure they can monitor you overnight.
Came out of surgery with no funny anaesthetic story, just aching arms where they had been in a strange position for 2hrs. Once that had calmed, I slept most afternoon. I have not had any pain, only a little niggle this morning 2nd day as I caught my one drain. Apart from that just minor aching. So happy with that, i think stopping drinking a weeke before, cutting down caffeine and eat well before the surgery has really helped me out. Looking forward to recovery plus the drop and fluff! :)

Home at last. The hospital was amazing. They have provided me with co-codamol, ibuprofen, antibiotics and all important laxatives. Pain is at a minimal, most annoying gas been my throat and bloat now! I'm due my period so have lovely bloat from that, mixed with post operation bloat and constipation! I'm feeling like a blob today, but still very happy I've eventually got my boobs x
