I've been waiting a breast lift for 13 years.. I first started looking into it properly 9 years ago but had no way of affording it. Tried to put it to the back of mind and get on with life but I'm fed up of feeling disgusted and ashamed and going to do something about it!
I put on a lot of weight very quickly at the same time as my breasts developed. Leaving me with boobs resembling a much much older person who's had many kids! Gutting. Don't you wish you could just turn back the clock? I lost some of that weight which obviously didn't help my lost cause breasts.
So I've had a mini consultation which just felt right. A confident but caring surgeon and a quote I can just about afford. So I'm awaiting my full consultation and the start of my journey.
Yes, I may have kids and it would be best to wait. But feeling this way about myself affects my sex life and I just can't keep feeling this way.. I'm not happy. I just want to look and feel normal and surgery is the way forward. The feeling of excitement at receiving my quote and asking to be booked in was enough to know I am making the right decision.
Wish me luck!

Full consultation complete!

The consultation was an extension of the first mini one... with all the horrors that can go wrong before you completely commit!
After lots of discussion about risks and the procedure, came the part of taking photos and measurements and trying out implant sizes. How difficult is it to decide what to go for! "I just want to look normal" isn't a good enough decision!
So he has suggested round implants for upper fullness, over the muscle which I'm pleased about.
I know I don't want to be big, I just want to be pert! Can't even imagine how that would feel.
So the 175cc kept me at pretty much what I am. I liked the 210cc and felt that the 250cc were too big. I get the feeling that the surgeon and nurse thought they might be better (I would agree that they suited my frame) however I felt it was too big and heavy.. and I'm also thinking further into the future.. less weight less sag!?
Turns out the specific implants they have only come in 200cc or 225cc so I need to make a decision. I've been playing with bags of rice tonight! You'd think 25cc wouldn't make much different but it was enough to know I didn't want 250cc implants..
I'm completely undecided and will try my rice bags again tomorrow! Meanwhile I'll get booking a surgery date...!
The weirdest part was being photographed. Hiding my boobs and ignoring that they're there to avoid getting upset for the millionth time, compared to being topless and photographed was surreal. Can't imagine how surreal it'll feel when I'm photographed pre op and feeling (hopefully!) proud and accepting of myself.

Surgery date booked!
eggontoastNovember 30, 2017
I suggested a couple of dates that be better with work and am now booked in for 12th February 2018! So exciting! Now it's just a waiting game until a couple of weeks before when I'll pay up and have my pre op. Still need to make my decision on the implants, but she's ordering in the 4 smallest sizes anyway (175, 200, 225 and 250).
I can also prep with bits I need like the v pillow, front fastening clothes, a post op moisturiser... etc. Any tips please shout!!

Congrats on booking your surgery date! I also had a BL/BA with small implants over the muscle. I look forward to following your progress. :-)

A couple pre-op tips: 1. In addition to researching implant type/size do a little research on breast shape/ratio. I often see is a lot of focus on “bra cup size” (which is not really an accurate measure of the breasts) and not enough attention to breast shape (45:55, 50:50, etc) or areola size (i.e. 38mm). Imo a beautiful shape will render nicer results than a poor shape with extra cc. If you don’t know much about these subjects google “45:55 ideal breast scientific study “and “38mm ideal areola size” to find interesting articles and studies. As I’ve mentioned to others you don’t have to agree with the findings; however by reading articles on these subject you will learn the scientific terminology which may enable you to communicate better with your PS. 2. Secondly pick your PS wisely. I think choosing the right PS is the most important decision you can make - more important than the type/size of implants and all of the other matters mentioned above. Breast lift surgery is one of the most complicated surgeries with a very high revision rate. For reason I chose a PS that specializes in breast lift surgery and had many before/after pics to show in addition to numerous great reviews online. I probably did as much or more research on the PS I chose than on all the other subjects combined. I’m also linking you below to the breast lift surgery guide here at RealSelf which has a lot of other info that you may find helpful. Good luck.

Thanks it's an interesting read. I can't seem to find whether that's areola measured cold or warm!? If you know what i mean! I'd assume warm?
I'm quite confident with my surgeon as he has got good reviews and I felt assured by him (I did have other consultations) and his experience.
I don't spose you can link me to somewhere that shows real photos of ratios can you?
I'm booking another consultation to ask any more questions needed and try out the implants again.
Thanks,
A

Hi again, Yes that would be warm / not contracted. Per the rules of this website I’m not allowed to link to other websites in these forums. However if you were to google the words “45:55 breast scientific study” without the quotes you should come across articles with photos. I know I have. Just a hint: you’re more likely to find nude photos in medical journals (i.e. “American Society of Plastic Surgeons” news) than in fluff newspaper articles. I also sent you a private message. Good luck.
