Hello, The realself site has been invaluable to me...

Hello,
The realself site has been invaluable to me to help me make the decision to go ahead and have implants. It is something I have a thought of but never thought I would do.
I breast fed my boys and really enjoyed the feeling of larger breasts at that time and also felt my most confident. I have done lots of research, I also saw four consultants before choosing my lovely lady consultant who I have every faith and confidence in. She has always welcomed me and been very patient with all my questions and worries and has been nothing but understanding and kind. I am at present an empty 34b cup and hope to be a 34dd at the end of my procedure. I have had my pre op and am set for admission on the 11th at 11.20 . I have bought just about everything I need with advice taken from the lovely ladies reviews I have read on this site.
I have left it to the surgeon for the final size. She has ordered 380 ultra high profile and also 425 ultra high profile polytec polyurethane anatomical implants for me and depending on what looks better on the day and fits well I will have. I have a 33" rib cage and a bwd of 11.5 so I don't have much to play with size wise, hence going with the uhp to get the size I wish. I am having them dual plane , inserted under the breast crease.
I have to say today I feel very calm but I have moments of sheer panic and fear. I have been in contact with a few ladies on here in regards to their ba and they have been so incredibly brave and strong and have inspired me to go on and follow my dreams and to hopefully feel happy and confident once more.
My husband is quietly supportive, he loves me as I am and can't understand why I am doing this but is by my side if I go ahead and has booked two weeks of work to look after me.
Feel incredibly guilty for taking our savings and spending them on me, and therefore no holiday etc this year for any of us.

You sound just like me. I was also a 34b who nursed 4 children and loved the look and balanced feel of being a 34D when pregnant and nursing. My husband was also very smart and said he would not say he was in favor of my getting implants for fear I might think he was not happy with me smaller. He would not say he was against them because he believed it was a decision each woman must make according to what she wants and was afraid of influencing me one way or another. Like you I felt guilty about the cost so I waited until I was 65 to get the look I had wanted for 15 years. Both my husband and I wish I had not waited. For whatever reason I also felt more confident or womanly at the larger size. It was me. I also went under the breast crease and beneath the muscle. My surgery went so much easier than I expected and within a year the scar had faded to almost invisible. From what you posted, I think you will be very happy with your decision, and it sounds like your being happy makes your husband happy too. Keep us posted.

You look great! Not too big, not too small. Some I see on here look like water balloons plastered to their chests. Yours look very natural. Good doctor.

Heard from the hospital that I am first on the list for surgery on the 11th. Feel happy about that, I did ask if there is no real order or preference could I go first to get it over with and they have now confirmed that for me.
Feel incredibly calm at the moment thinking this time next week it will be all over.

If your PS is like mine, you will appreciate the early time slot bc there is no eating or drinking as of 12am on the 11th :) Mine is scheduled for 9am, thankfully. I have read about some women who didn't go under until after 12pm and they were either starving or very thirsty.
Btw - I totally get the calm and also the sporadic moments of panic. I have kept them to myself as I dont want my family to think I am backing out, far from it. It's just a surreal experience, hard to explain to someone not going through this process.

Hi,
I don't have a time yet for the op, they say they will call me the day before, but yes your right, at least we won't be waiting around like if we were third or fourth when they run late to which they all do. I'm sure after me things will get late and run over as my surgeon is doing a couple of breast reconstructions which take a lot longer and I'm sure will go over time.
Agree with keeping the total panic moments quiet.
Keep in touch [RS bleep]

My list for surgery and preparation.
Jemel6February 4, 2016
Hi,
I've read some amazing lists of items bought before surgery so have listed mine and my own personal preparation for surgery.
Firstly I have given up alcohol since Christmas. I am an avid wine drinker and would drink probably a bottle a night with a meal so have knocked that on the head and to be honest feel much better for it.
I have been oiling and moisturising my boobs morning and evening.
I am having my hair cut on Saturday, just to make me mentally feel good and I will wash it the morning of surgery.
I have tried to be healthy with my diet all mainly because I am an asthmatic and am on a lot of drugs for this so just trying to support my body as much as possible.
My bag is packed!,in it I have
Slippers,
Socks,
Bras, a Macom anatomical bra, a couple of sports bras and some bra extenders
Dressing gown,
Book,
Flannel, wipes, toothpaste etc
Eye mask,
A couple of drinks and straws (lucozade recovery types to rebalance your body)
A box of chocolates to keep in the nurses good books,
Button up nightie,
Loose track suit bottoms to come home in
Slip on shoes
Morenga balm (my desert island must gave)
Track suit zip up top,
I will also take my own pillow, (good for when travelling home)
Phone, I pad,
Paracetamol and codine
Think that's it, it looks like I'm going on holiday!
Anyone think I've forgot anything?

Hello I have almost similar stats like you I am also tiny 32 small A and I recently had my surgery on the 2nd I also got UHP 480cc i would love to hear your journey I think you shouldn't forget some cocoa butter for stretch marks you never know right:)

Will do, I'm just about to read your post, how are you and are you happy with them.
February 6, 2016
Super organised! :-)
If you have long enough hair to tie back the op staff prefer you do - it needs to be a band with no metal on it.
Good luck lovely lady :-)

Bless you, don't know why I have just burst into tears.
You look so amazing and I never have any luck or things going right for me and I think when I took those photos this morning reality hit me how awful I really look. I never look at myself in the mirror with nothing on and I wouldn't even let my husband see my photos as I am so embarrassed, thank you for your sweet comment, I hope your well and I'm sure very happy with your amazing outcome x

Ah bless you too - the dreaded before pic can look pretty stark - hair back, freeze frame unnatural pose - but actually you've got a pretty nice base to work up from, you've just lost your upper pole fulness. Take a look at my before pic - it's pretty horrendous!!! I had no upper pole either, just empty nothing's - and now look at what I have :-)
I too cringed when my husband wanted to see my pic, so i totally get what you're saying - let this small thing you're doing for yourself be a definite onwards and upwards - I'm looking forward to seeing your happy progress! Don't forget we are all going to be here supporting you every step of the way :-) x

Even though your husband is quiet supporter, it's nice that he has booked 2 weeks to help you out. If you haven't already, feel free to join the February 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Good luck and keep us posted!
P.S. Maybe you can do an inexpensive overnight trip somewhere for a small scale holiday trip. ;)
