UK 25years Old, Size 30G. No Children - England, UK

My husband thinks they are great, hes very happy with the result and cant believe the scars - think we both expected them to be so big and ugly! I have niggles of pain from time to time, my left breast at the moment feels quite painful on the bottom but I think ive possibly been doing a little much at times. Other than that all fine, I was back to sleeping on my front a few weeks ago which was so much better for me! How has your journey been?

The surgeon said prepare for a C cup. But he did say when I last met him that he didnt take too much as he couldnt put it back in if I didnt like them - and that sometimes the slight adjustment could solve my back issues. Dont get me wrong they look great, but I am in two minds about having more taken out. I have until January until my next appointment so going to see how they heal and settle. I do feel lighter, and I feel like ive lost sight of what they used to be so they are completely different. But my biggest fear is creeping up to that size again. Hopefully once I get back into more exercise I will feel a bit better, because I am really over the moon with how neat and tidy they are so trying not to focus too much on the bra at the moment!

I totally understand hun, don't lose sight on the reason that you had this procedure done for. See how things settle over the next few months. I'd carried mine around for 30 years and really had enough of the backache and felt so much lighter after having 3kg's removed I can tell you but like you say once it's out it's out so better to take less initially. Take care x x x

Im actually planning on going & getting some more bras today. But to be honest the 30FF im currently wearing I am starting to spill out of. Im really devastated some days. Then other days I think they look so much better and arent hanging at my knees so I dont want to complain. But then I think I wanted a reduction not an uplift! How do you feel? Ive been feeling totally not myself recently and I think its a mixture of doing too much too soon is taking its toll and the fact ive gone through all this to still have big boobs!

How frustrating for you both. I hope you will both complain to your surgeons? As I see it, they've not done what they were instructed to do have they. Go back to your GP and kick up a fuss, don't give in easily. My boobs got larger after I had my children too. X x

Oh no really? Sorry to hear you are disappointed! Im really pleased with mine now BUT I do have a bit of the same, I expected to be alot smaller. I had days where I cried and cried because I felt they werent any different! I have it in my mind now the surgeon knew what he was doing and planned them around my body shape so I just focus on the fact that they must be right! I was also told a C, and told myself even if they went as low as a B I really wouldnt mind. Think its a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, and in all honesty I think we will always look at them like they are big even if we had non at all? Try not to focus on them and give them time - my husband said he sees a change each time I show him them.

You're so lucky! I'm just getting started on the process. I can't WAIT to schedule the actual time.

Thank you. Good luck with yours!

Hi, I had them done in Newcastle through the NHS. Didnt expect to manage it but I did, and I could not fault them at all. The NHS have been brilliant.
