1 year Boobiversary TODAY!

Oh my, I can't believe that today is 1 year since my operation. I have NO REGRETS at all with my decision and feel happier then ever!

Its a very emotional day for me - because this time last year was the day that has changed my life for the better.

CONFIDENCE and HAPPINESS is just many of the ways that surgery has changed me as a person!

I used to be embarrassed of my body before - previously I spoke about my Polycystic Ovaarian Syndrome and Hormone Imbalances and that really effected my confidence with the effects it has to your body. So having this surgery has really lifted me.

One question I have been asked a few times is whether I would go any bigger and my honest answer - I'm extremely happy with the size I am I went for the smaller implants knowing that I can always go bigger if I'm unhappy. I feel that the size I chose is perfect for my frame and I feel in proportion to myself. When I have them replaced I would possibly consider going a tiny little bit bigger but, I didn't get my breasts done for them to be Huge and fake so going from a 345cc I would only consider going up to the maximum of 400CC!

So just a final overview of what I ended with -
Natrelle Round Silicone Soft Implants
345CCs
Under the Muscle
I had my surgery at the Mcindoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead, UK with
Surgeon Paul Banwell!

I really hope you've enjoyed following me on my breast augmentation experience. I will try and post a yearly review if possible to mark my Boobiversarys!

Going through this experience has also made me really want to support and help others in their journey. So, please don't hesitate to ask anything I'm happy to support you and answer your questions on my experience and help you on yours!

So I'm going to push the post button and this is also wierd as I happened to be in surgery this time last year.

Thanks again for everyone that has been there reading my journey I look forward to reading yours and replying to your messages.

I'm back from Holiday - update And I Can WEAR BRAS!

Hello all you lovely real self ladies!!!
Sorry I haven't updated for a little while I have been on holiday in sunny Turkey with my new assets for the first time.

I was very careful with my scars when abroad as I didn't want to do anything that would damage them. So my week consisted of sunning by the pool and sea and a one day trip to a waterpark still not overdoing it. (I have read reviews where people have tested their incisions after 10 weeks post op and I'm currently almost 9 weeks).

I made sure that I brought bikinis that perfectly covered the scar so that the sun wasn't affecting it in anyway. I also put some silicone scar serum on in the morning along with a factor 50 in that area just as a precaution and in the evening I moisturised and massaged the area.

While away I wore my sports bra on the way out and when I went to bed every night as at the time I was a few days befor 8 weeks. In the daytime I wore bikinis and in the evening bras.

Overall I have had no problems with my boobies at all and they have definitely made me so much more confident in myself and in a bikini now. Nope bring on September for the next holiday!

Il post a few photos of me on holiday with the new boobies and a few of my actual boobs on show. I even wore tops that I went braless in. Never was I ever able to do that before as I couldn't hold one up.

Since my first consultation with Paul Banwell he made me feel at ease he sat down with me and made sure I was 100% clear with everything. We went through risks, procedure, incisions, placement, implant, what I want out of the surgery, why and answered any questions I had and told me to go away and think about everything before I go ahead with anything etc. Even up to the point I was wheeled down for surgery I was excited for the outcome. He spends a lot of time with you to make sure that your completely happy and he's bedside manner is impeccable. His proffsionalism, sense of humour and care throughout was phenomonal. I could not of asked for a better surgeon to perform this procedure and I will highly recommend him to anyone who considers cosmetic surgery and will definitely return for any future cosmetic surgery procedures in the future. He has given me my confidence that I never had and he really is a perfectionist and artist! I can't thank you enough.
