Hi there I'm new to this so bear with me ????
I had my 1st BA 10 years ago, I was 34a and had 280cc unders which took me to a small 34d. I was never happy with my result, the scar was in the wrong place about an inch above the crease and my boobs were too small, but after having my 1st 2 children, my new boobs were better than what I had. Let's be fair anything is better than an empty A cup
In the last 10 years I lived with my boobs, I got married had twins and another baby, 5 kids altogether. But my boobs took a battering and moved apart think from pregnancies and a crap PS. When I lay down on my back my implants were in my arm pits, not a good look, so I've now decided I've done my bit for the population so no more children from myself, time to get the boobies I've always wanted.
I started off researching lots of PS and decided I wanted nigel carver, so I emailed him, he was lovely we sent a few emails, he said to book a consultation, so called holly house hospital, (end of July) she said I could be seen end of aug, WHAT. No no no I have to of had my new boobs by then, I have 5 kids I need to have op done in6 weeks holiday so I'm fit for school run. Lady said I'm sorry that's all there is mr carver is fully booked ( good sign, but no good for me) I said ok I'll email him myself ????
So I did just that, I told him I needed my new boobs done ASAP and 3 days later got my consultation
He made me feel really comfortable and after all the measurements we decided on 590cc ultra high profile unders whoop woo
I booked in for 2 weeks later coz he had to order my implants
I had my op done on 11th aug, was very very happy with everything
Went home to recover
Everything was healing very well untill 3 weeks after and I got bronchitis, coughed up my guts for a week in bed for 3 days, got antibiotics from my GP, then to my horror as I was about to get showered I had split open one of my scars, on my left boob.
I've got some pictures to up load
I go back to the hospital tonight I hope that surgeon says my scar is healing, I feel gutted that it's split but not surprised with all the violent coughing I've been doing
I'll update soon
Thanks for reading xx

Just wondering how your wound is healing?

Hi thanks for comment, It's closed up but still sore, I think it's got to dry out but I'm still using ointment on it, I go back monday to see my surgeon. I'm still on antibiotics, finish them tomorrow. There's not much on your profile, have you had implants? Is everything ok? X

Hi, yes I had my first BA in London 19 yrs ago and just had them replaced in May in Thailand. I live in Australia but it was too expensive over here. I was really worried about wound issues so felt bad for you having this to contend with as the location makes it painful and hard to heal. I'm interested to know how it goes for you!

Hi again, just wanted to say I got 325cc high profile implants over the muscle and I find them very big. What size do your implants make you? I'm now a 34 D and started out 20 yrs ago a AA.

Hi I didn't realise it was more in Australia, were you worried having to go to another country? I did think about travelling coz it was cheaper, but now I'm pleased I had 5 mins up the road coz of this scar opening I don't know what size I am yet, I'm 6 weeks this Monday was going to go shopping but I'll have to put it off coz of the scar although healing it's still not dried out. Hopefully I'll be at least an E cup. But i had unders which you lose a bit of the size and im 5ft 7 so fairly tall to carry off a larger implant. I don't think they look too big for my size, I feel like this is how they should look

It's very expensive in Australia, between $12000 to $18000. I was afraid of going overseas as absolutely no support when you get home so I wouldn't entirely recommend it. At the time I was in so much pain as old implants bleeding through shell causing burning pain. Also they ran out of 2 implant sizes so I was forced to go bigger than I wanted. Better to be close to plastic surgeon! Hope that end heals nicely for you!!
