I've always had small boobs and liked them. I felt good in bikinis and was happy to go braless in strappy dresses but since having my two children they have been flat. Even padded bras don't look good as they gape at the top.
I started thinking about this back in June and thought I'd wait until next summer but once I have an idea in my head I'm hard to stop and last month I thought "I'm doing it!". Luckily my surgeon had availability in October and here I am today writing from my hospital bed!
I had two major concerns - what size to go for and what to tell the kids (who are 3 and 5).
I had been given two options for sizes - 295cc and 360cc. I was adamant I wanted a natural, fuller look rather than an increase in size but after weeks of dithering I opted for the 360cc implants. I'm 6 ft (183cm) tal,l size 12 and think they are in proportion with the rest of my body.
I didn't want the kids to grow up with negative body issues so just told them my boobs have been hurting and the doctor was going to make them better. Much better!!
Pain is bearable but I'm probably still dosed up and they fell rock hard. My surgeon doesn't recommend bras and bandages,
Looking forward to my overnight stay and maybe even a lie in without the kids!

Hi, can you please advise me what type of bra I need to purchase for after my BA. Do I wear it straight away ? Or what does Dr Carver like you to wear and when? Thank you x

Hi, I was told not to wear a bra so instead just wore vests. Zara do some nice ones! When is your surgery? I think once you've had your 2 month follow up appointment you can wear bras but the most comfortable bra I've found is a Calvin Klein crop top. Good luck!

My surgery is on 27th March.
I'm so confused with what I need.
I emailed his PA on Tuesday but haven't heard back.
I like to be organised lol

So feeling ok but tired today. Didn't sleep that well with night time checks on my blood pressure. A bit bruised (nothing to see, but can feel it) around my ribs.
My surgeon discharged me this morning and I'm back at home! I have to take paracetamol and anti inflammatory tablets for seven days and have a follow up appointment in two weeks to have my dressings changed.
I've been advised not to wear a bra, just a vest or crop top. I think I'll have to go shopping before returning to work next week.
My husband doesn't seem to like them - he wasn't expecting them to be so big! So after being super excited yesterday I feel a bit down today. I'm sure he'll get used to them... Did anyone's partner have the same reaction?

Welcome to the community, thanks for starting a review. I think your results look very good, your husband might just need time to get used to them. Also, it takes up to 3 months for breast implants to settle before you see your final results. 

I found a discussion that you might want to join in, it's old but you can get it started again: Husbands Reaction to Breast Lift and Augmentation 

Keep us posted on your progress. :)
