I've always had an issue with how my breasts looked. Three only time they looked normal was after i had my daughter and my milk came in. Even then, the shape looked weird, they were just bigger. I decided i was tired of how i looked one day and decided to make a few consultations.. I set my date to april 21st. I can't wait to finally get this over with and move on!

What have you been advised to have done? I had my consultation 2 days ago. My breasts are very much like yours and iv wanted them done for years. I'd be interested to know what you have been advised to go for.

I was told 2 things
1. I could have the implant placed through the crease inciscion.
2. I could have a periareolar inciscion and also remove some of the puffiness of three nipple while the implant is placed through there.
Most of the surgeons suggested the areola inciscion. Although im not exactly sure what Im going to do yet. I really hope i can get away with a crease inciscion Although im willing to do What's best. Im thinking of getting around 300 cc of sillicone.

Very much the same as I was advised. Iv been advised to have 550 cc allergen teardrop implants moderate profile extra full projection with 14.5 width base. I don't need to have the restricted lower pole scored he said it doesn't need that but will put a tight band at the top after to help bottom out. He also advised I had areola reduction to reduce the puffiness but he said he wouldn't want to do it all at once as he will be streching by putting the implants in then if he was to do areola reduction at the same time it's tightning it all aswell as stretching. He's advised I have the implants in a crease incision then after I'm recovered to do the areola reduction. The areola reduction can be done under a local anaesthetic. To be honest the slight puffiness of my areola doesn't bother me it's the lack of breast so think I'm just going to stick with the implants alone. How much have you been told it's going to cost?
April 1, 2016
Yep i totally agree! What bothers me the most is probably the lack of breast tissue. I could deal with a bit of puffiness if the breast has a normal round shape. The dr i chose quoted me $7,050. The other ones quoted me just about the same or pretty close. What about you? I have to admit it's more than most people i know pay but it might be more because of the whole "tuberous breast" problem. Im sure its more work

Completely agree I just want lower pole fullness. I want them as natural as possible. He's going for dual plane so part under and part over the muscle. I'm in the UK iv been quoted £5,235 so a bit more than you again. I found this mire expensive than people I know too so maybe your right and it's to do with the "tubular breasts" he did say to me that he's got to create me a whole set. I'm still in the saving process so won't be having mine till February of next year 10 months the feels ages to wait :( but iv waited over 10 years now so I'm sure 10 more months will be okay. Just now iv had the consultation I want them NOW. So your all booked in for yours?
April 2, 2016
Yes i am. Its on april 21st. I had always hated my breasts but never thought i would actually do it. I decided to one night when i was so upset while out at a pub i started crying cuz my bra didn't fit lol. My bras never fit properly for some reason and i always have gaps in the cup. I decided i was just going to do it and not look back.
April 2, 2016
I can't wait to see your results! Mine look so similar and I feel just the same as you. They are such a big issue for me! I bet you can wait!
April 2, 2016
Yes I'm so excited. It's hard waiting but I've only got about 19 days to go
April 3, 2016
I can imagine how you must be feeling! The end of a chapter hey! I keep dreaming of it, I so wanna do it! I need to just get the ball rolling! Ha

I hope it goes well would you mind sending me after photos and letting me know what you went for. I'm very interested to see as I say mine are very much like yours and as I won't be having mine done for at least another 8 months it would be amazing to see your results. I'm saving hard and have worked out it will either be December of this year or Feb at latest of next year. I hope it all goes smoothly and your results are amazing.
April 4, 2016
For sure! Ill do that. Im also going to update this as it happens so I'll keep posting stuff.

Just booked my surgery date I have a long 8 months to wait. But finally after wanting this for over 10 years the 19th December will be my day :)
April 5, 2016
Less than three weeks until your surgery.... Eek! My three week post op is coming on Wednesday! I promise that you'll be so much happier with your results than you ever imagined. Leaving your tuberous breasts behind is a great feeling! I will warn you though... You'll look funny for the first few weeks! My breasts have yet to drop but I'm starting to feel more confident. Once your three weeks PO you will forget about your old boobs, the pain of surgery, and the first few days of surgery. Amazing how we adapt! :) Can't wait to see your progress!
April 6, 2016
Totally! I can't wait. The fact i might not see "normal" boobs for a few months really bums me out. Honestly though, anything is better than what ive got lol.
April 6, 2016
I'm going to the beach in two weeks so I'll be five weeks PO. I'm dying to go shop! I almost make fun of mine now and think, they won't be like this forever! They look like rectangle torpedo block things naked, but under a shirt they're looking amazing! Small progress :)
April 5, 2016
Hi! We look so similar!! I´m schedule for next monday! Do you already know which size are you getting? Im between 325 or 350!
April 6, 2016
My pre op is tomorrow. Im thinking 325cc. I really don't want to make the mistake of 300 being too small.
April 6, 2016
I think 325cc is perfect for you!!! Im also going 325 since I think 350 can be a little bit too much for me :) Good luck!

Day of treatment

home from surgery

Surgery was this morning and im pretty sore. I can't take my bandage off until tomorrow and i can honestly say that's bothering me more than my chest is. It seems like its pulling me down and making me slouch ( could be the implants too i guess). Pretty excited to take this thing off tomorrow. Ended up doing 300 cc sillicone, moderate plus implants with crease inciscion. Im having a bit more pain than i expected but it's not completely unbearable

They look a better shape already with the bandage on! I bet they will look amazing! They take a while to settle thought don't they?
April 23, 2016
For sure! I woke up this morning and don't wanna speak too soon But the lower breast seems to be filling out a tiny bit. It's exciting for me because i had nothing there lol

Congratulations!!! Your life will be forever changed. I know what you MEAN about the slouching! I felt like Quasimodo for a couple of days before I began to feel more like a Homo sapien. Staying up on those pain meds is key though. It's so important that you are comfortable because that's the fastest way to recovery. Only problem is the constipation, but that can be augmented for the time with MORE DRUGS :-P.
April 23, 2016
Omg yes. My back was literally burning all the1st day. I've always had a problem with tight/restrictive garments and my posture. As soon as her Took it off my back felt so much better.

Hello little ladies! Well, my sleep has been horrible but luckily i haven't felt the need to sleep much. I can't sleep more than about 1 hr before waking up. On and off slept about 3 hrs this morning. I'm Feelin a bit better today and got to take off my bandage yesterday. Now wearin a pretty loose sports bra. Have not been having too much pain but im still swollen and my left boob is noticeably more sore/swollen than the right. Im going to give it another day or 2 before i ask the dr about it..I'm assuming its normal. Here are a few pics !!

Today is my first day post-op and I'm in so much pain.. I'm glad u feel good. Happy healing!
April 23, 2016
Sorry about that. I had mine thursday morning so i guess technically today is my second day post op. Im still pretty uncomfortable myself. Im pretty sore arpund the underarm area, although i had a crease inciscion. I hope you feel better soon!!

Your breasts turned out similarly to mine! I also kept my areolae intact and got the crease incision. Mine are also far apart; even over a month later I can barely smoosh them together, and I, too have a stubborn left breast. Honestly though, I think our results turned out really good! My doc told me that six months after my surgery, the tuberousness would go away, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the shape we both dread, in a small form anyway, might be here to stay. Nevertheless, it looks like your surgeon did an excellent job on improving the shape of your breasts. They look round and pretty! Although it's easy (especially when you have a lot of down time to analyze), I encourage you not to get too down on your lack of improvement at this point. Time has made a huge difference for me and I know it will for you too. Lookin' good!
April 25, 2016
Yes! I was thinkin about this today. I've seen some improvement already in the lower pole fullness.( very little). But for being only3 days they are dropping a bit. My right was more tuberous and seems to be doing a bit better. I had a bigger implant placed in the left so i think more work might have been done on that side. Im definitely glad i didn't have anything done to my nipples. I thought about it but the fact i form hypertrophic scars just wasnt worth it. I like to think anything is better than what i had lol
