So hi everyone! I've been poking around here for...
WORTH IT$5,500
So hi everyone! I've been poking around here for months but not had anything books or the guts to book.
I've decided to take the plunge! After huge amounts of research, I went to a few consultations. I currently live in China and this made things more interesting. (I am from the UK originally, but my job is here now)
China is not known for its huge breasts and so I didn't feel reassured by having it done here. I went for a consultation in Hangzhou, Victoria Hospital but the communication was not great and I didn't feel they understood what I wanted. I don't have unmeetable expectations or anything! Just they wanted to make the breast pointy, which I was not cool with.
After thinking I should leave it in the back of my mind, I was hit with an email from a friend who had used this place for another procedure. Beverly Wilshire Medical, Malaysia.
I emailed to just enquire and the more I emailed the more I felt reassured. The women, Carla emailing was so polite and every question I asked, she had the answer waiting! Explained the procedure and said that they can arrange the hotel afterwards and transfers etc. I am one for less stress the better and this was a dream! No stress!
I have decided to go with them as the complex has a good reputation and after checking out all the medical boards they claimed to be on (on the Website and via email) I was satisfied with the whole idea.
I have uploaded photos! I know compared to everyone, I'm not huge! But I am big enough to cause myself pain. This morning is a great example, I am sat here with another headache and I'm trying to take painkillers to make it go away but no such luck :(
I am a 34GG (UK Size) and I hate it. I remember being a 38C and as I started to lose weight, I felt my boobs didn't get the memo. I never ever in my life ever wanted big breasts. Ever. I remember going for my first bra asking the women, "They wont grow anymore will they?"
Unfortunately so. I stopped going out in my 2nd year University because I never felt I had anything to wear and all guys did was stare at my chest. Being blonde on top of that does me no favours!
But alas! Working in China, I have finally got savings! And as much as I know my family would've preferred a return to the UK or start looking at the housing market, I just don't feel that's right for me. I want this more then anything!
I will update as things come up but so far:
~ I have booked my flights to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) which cost £253.
I am just waiting to get my confirmation price and pay the deposit :) will update you on the prices of the hotel etc!

More emailing!
So today was finalising totals for me to start giving away my big earned cash! (FYI - This is actually so easy, I'm worried I might have a spending issue soon!)
I booked my one night hotel for when I get there, as the clinic have arranged to pick me up and sort out getting me safely to the hotel. I have booked into one that is close to the clinic. This will be because I have to get myself there the next day and I cheekily would like to walk!
Cost? Drum roll please! ... £19.30 for a double bed basic room. SCOREE!
So with my hotel and flights being less then £300 I'm already feeling my savings going far.
Carla sent me the final total for the hotel that they have arranged for me, it is a 5* that is used to having their patients come stay while they ask whatever higher power to take the discomfort away (Bit of humour coming out...)
My booking on MiCasa hotel for 11 nights from the 14th of March till the 25th with transfers from and to airport and 3 diary nurse visits at MiCasa hotel – total of 4190RM (100% payment up to 30 days before arrival).
That is roughly £730! Which was a bargain, I am so lucky. The person I email Carla is always keeping my updated and making sure I have everything, a lot of repeated information which I am glad for because she clarifies everything! And anything I disagree with we sort out.
This has been one of my most least stressful hospital trips, it's definitely got myself thinking about having private medical care!
So I said I would keep updated, I mainly feel that anyone in the UK looking at a surgery abroad needs more reviews as I found nothing!
Oh and the operation cost is 18000RM which equals about (Roughly) £3330.
Well everyone have a happy new year! I know I will :)

Good luck to you - sounds like you have made a great plan. I just hope you wont be lonely and will have the emotional support you may need. Have you met or spoken to your surgeon? Check about drains and how they manage the incisions - ie internal sutures and tape - do not get a shock of being stapled as one young lady did. Also find out about your premeds for nausea etc. Look forward to your updates - best wishes

Aw thank you! I am a sod for planning stupidly!
After reading your comment, I did email and ask! Thank you! I didn't think of the incisions as I assumed they were all the same (Mainly as I saw no one with anything different!)
As for meds, I emailed to ask in the same one. As soon as I know I'll put it up here :) although as for shock factor, I sat on google for hours most nights before booking looking at photos of people's operations gone wrong. I know that sounds so cruel to look at others misfortune but I need to see how bad it could go!
I will update when something happens :) my next update will be around 13th January when I send payment! :D so excited as I intend to send full payment. I like to keep things less stressful!

internal sutures and tape! Just had my email reply :) Med's I haven't asked about! I forgot to. But have emailed now :) xx

sounds good - there was only 2 ladies on here with staples but it looked shocking and they were pretty upset - you have time to sort out the meds. My surgeon avoided complications such as nausea by giving me a pill to take 2 hours prior the morning of surgery. also had anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxants and the painkillers and anti biotics - it was a lot but I healed well with no complications - I wish that for everyone.

oh dear :| staples sounds more painful too!
oh wow, well without putting my eggs into one basket! This place have been picture perfect so far so I'm not feeling worried, is that terrible?! lol [RS bleep]

Glad to see things working out for your upcoming br - its truly one of the best decision's that i have ever made - Im 12 day post-op and haven't felt like this since I was 12.
December 29, 2013
Oh my goodness! You were one of the people I was following! Truly lovely to hear from you! I saw you got yours and it went well :) I am so happy for you!
I just remember being 12 asking/begging that they wont grow anymore. 10 Years later, I'm getting rid of them! :P
Thank you for your comment, I continue to follow your blog and feel inspired :) xx
December 29, 2013

70 day count down!!
I am literally so excited! I couldn't hold it in any longer!
Job number 2 have given me consent for time off, although as far as all my work places are to know, I am going for a wedding. I don't wish to really tell them and with my extra tummy weight and my always wearing baggy clothes I'm hoping they wont notice!
Job number 1 are just finalising the plans but the department have said I will be ok to have it off. So that's jobs sorted! And I am aware of needing to take it easy. My job isn't physically demanding, it's more a mentally demanding job as I lecture on photographic content and then the odd oral english. It's very handy as back home, my jobs are completely physically demanding. It's why I feel now if the perfect time in my life to do this. I'm not freaking out as I expected to, just like everyone here. I cannot wait to have this weight lifted and live a normal healthy life :) x
