I went from being too scared to have a lift to knowing it was the right/best choice for me. In the end, I had BL woth BA. I am an expat living in the mid-east so finding the right surgeon was very important to me. I had a few consultations & felt very comfortable with Harley Street Medical Centre & Dr. Christoph Reuter were the right fit for me.

Day Three
Have had some issues with allergies to medicine. So heading back today to see what I can be prescribed. Think it is the antibiotic. In terms of pain, I think discomfort is the better word. I feel really top-heavy with all my bandaging & too scared to peak underneath it all. Nothing new to photograph.

Congrats on your surgery! I'm curious to know what size implant you ended up getting? were over or under the muscle?
I'm having a similar surgery (ie. BL wth implnt exc over muscle) this week. I look forward to following your journal. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hey there, Sending good vibes to you as I know the days leading to surgery can be quite intense. I started as a 34DD (in most brands) & was not looking for the usual augmentation. I just wanted my shape & perkiness back. I went with 250cc in each as other than one nipple being slightly lower, my breasts were symmetrical. Pretty sure surgeon went sub-glandular but we had discussed possibility of going under so will confirm this.

I had a Lejour (Lollipo or short scar) lift with 250 cc round smooth Mentor medium plus profile implants. Placement is subglandular to get a good upper projection of the breast and prevent any future snoopy nose deformity. All this was discussed pre-op & according to my measurements, skin, tissue etc. Hope this helps? How big will you go, have you decided?

Thank! Sounds like you did your research. I plan on downsizing my implants (currently 400cc, moderate mentor siltex) to somewhere between 215 - 235cc, moderate/ round smooth gel... along wth a lift. Haven't decided on the exact size yet.

Day Four
Woke up feeling still sore & was hoping last night I may not need pain medication or perhaps not need it as often. Ho hum!
I am still feeling a little anxious as I haven't really seen my nipple area or where the incisions are as I had a very quick bandage change on Day 1 & yesterday but as I was laying down, I couldn't really see. Here is me with waterproof bandaging so I can shower. My husband helped wash my hair as didn't want to extend my arms up over my head just yet. Am still feeling like, agghhh what have I done?! Hoping my healing goes well & smoothly.
You can see in the pics, my left breast is a bit more swollen than the right. I think they are looking ok in terms of height & size. Just need to be patient & let myself heal.
