Been using the site for nearly a year to research, found it really helpful. Only thing not alot of people from the UK. I live in Scotland booked with Dr Ben Chew through Nuffield hospital in Glasgow. He has great reviews and was really a nice guy when myself and my husband went for the consultation. Usually conversation, medical history, what size would I like to go. He took some measurements tried on some implants in a really attractive bra lol ???? decided 375cc would fit my size/shape I'm quite petite 5f 2 around 120 pounds and like to keep in shape. All booked for 18 November 2016 as this suited both mine and my husband work schedule. So looking forward to having more shape, all the rest of the woman in my family have good size breast mine have always been small. Will up date closer to the time, with information on the pre op. He did advise 34D size sort bras for recovery.

It's great to hear that RealSelf has been helpful with your research. Thank you for paying it forward by sharing your experience! Glad you found a time of year that works well for your surgery. I'm assuming your husband can help you the first few days post op. ;) Looking forward to following your journey and counting down to November with you!

Hey!! I'm going with Ben in October!! Oh he is lovely!! DID HE RECOMMEND A SIZE SMALLER IN YOUR PIST RECOVERY BRA? Sorry did not mean for that to be caps! X

Yeah he's really nice. No, he just said for to buy 34D sports bra, not sure if 34D will be the exact size I go too as you won't really be able to tell untill the swelling goes. Please keep in touch with your progress as we are both going with the same surgeon.x

Hi I had surgery with Ben in March & delighted with my results, I went from 34 aa up to 34e was only wNting to go up to a c they look so natural & no one has noticed I've had them done, which is what I wanted, good luck with your surgery you have chosen the right surgeon xx

I'm going to Ben Chew in two weeks, also been advised 34D in Post Sports Bra. Got my pre op on Tuesday at 9am. Felling Nervous now, I'm also a 32C. Ben Chew was so lovely and made me feel very at ease. I'm worried about the pain, but after two big babies I'm not sure why hehe. I booked months ago also to work in with both mine and my husbands work. I have wanted this for so many years and can't believe I'm now more nervous than excited. How long are you taking off work? Ben Chew said i will be fine with the two weeks. Also are you under muscle? I am. He is using 430cc on me. [RS bleep]

how come your surgery was so cheap, are they over the muscle? i saw ben chew in a consultant but i wasnt happy with him as a surgeon. i also wanted a dual plane method with anatomical gummy bear implants in which he couldnt do so i ended up going to elanic, with a surgeon called vivek, its was 5,071 but the team and his care where fanominal, even follow ups they respond 24 hours to answer questions.
