I've always wanted a boob job ever since I can...

I've always wanted a boob job ever since I can remember. My left boob never actually properly developed but I had a nice pretty (and little) right breast. I was so embarrassed that I had never told anyone, especially as the rest of the women in my family had majorly large boobs! I was always trolling the Internet and came across tubular breasts and diagnosed myself. I am sure lots of girls are with me... I've only ever worn padded bras, afraid to take my bra off and wear bikinis. It was only till recently I was in the financial position to get my breasts altered and I have a very supportive partner who loves me for who I am. He never once pushed me to have it done :). I'm sharing my story as I never found a similar one on the Internet and there must be girls out there like me!

When I turned 22, that was it. I'd had enough growing time and their time was up! My first Internet searches lead me to MYA, Transform and Harley Medical. Firstly, MYA was a pretty girl dressed up with her boobs above her chin... Not a look I wanted to go for. Transform were a little better, but again I'd only have one appointment with the surgeon. Harley Medical were absolutely pestering me even before I had my first appointment so it stopped there. After being fed up with these, I came across a clinic with 5* Reviews and lots of customer satisfaction in Liverpool called Sthetix. From the moment I called I felt assured with them. I managed to have several appointments with my surgeon Mr Alvi, no cover girl! I felt that he obviously took the time to invest in his patients, just like I was investing in him. He's been a breast reconstruction surgeon and I felt that was along the lines I needed to get the boobs I'd wanted all my life. I decided on 335/345 cc as I had assymetry there was only a certain range of allergan I could go for. Ideally I wanted 350-60 but there was no inbetween range! Mr Alvi recommended I go for a middle range size to not only stretch my skin but to avoid an uplift on my next augmentation.

After months of rescheduling work and arranging everything, the big day arrived. I was greeted in The Catherine Medical Centre and taken to my private suite. I was first on the list and taken all my precautions seriously. No alcohol for two weeks, make-up, nails, food and even had no drink from 6:30 AM. I had my magazines, throat lozenges and lip balm at the ready. I met my surgeon and anaesthetist and then off to surgery! I had told the aneasthetist my mother wakes up early on a aneasthetic, so he must of gave me a little extra as I was slurring words waking up, badly! My nurse Sharon looked after me brilliantly and poured my drinks etc.

What to consider: your dignity goes out of the window! I couldn't pull my nickers up, had a serious lack of appetite and you are by yourself a large majority of the time. I was so relieved to see my family, of which the centre were very accommodating with no strict visiting times and offered plenty of drinks. I am glad I stayed over night because I needed the assistance and pain relief (my partner can't cope so well now I'm at home). My 'boob band' really chaffed my armpits and took a good 24 hours of this before the nurse put my bra on before discharge. The car ride home was so uncomfortable! Why had no one mentioned this? Also, sleeping is in drips and drabs and when you eventually get comfortable, it's hard to get up!

I am 3 days post op now and in conflict with my boobs. I need them to move down so ive read not to have your bra on as gravity helps. Surely my surgeon should have told me this? I bought loose and tight bras, but I think I'm going to wear no bra during day and then have the support at night till my check up. I just dot want a bigger version of what I had! Plus lots of bruising has now surfaced as you can see.

I will keep you updated!

We are a similar pre-surgery size.. What size did you end up going with? I just booked my surgery for April 24th, so I am getting really excited now :D :D
March 13, 2015
335 & 345 CC. What surgeon have you gone with? I can't tell you how nice it is to finally have boobs, I think I'm just really impatient and want them to settle already lol!

Hi, it's very early days for you yet. I had my surgery on 27th November 2014, under the muscle 295 and 285cc anatomical silicone implants. Only now are they beginning to look and feel better. I went from a 32a to a 32dd. No real pain just discomfort. Forget the celebrity "I've had a boob job" thing. It can take a good six months for everything to settle down. Check out other ladies reviews on this site. It takes time and patience, the bruising will go, they will drop and fluff and look great! I have my 2nd followup appointment next Thursday. At the moment I still have micropore tape on my scars which I take off every 3rd night then apply bio oil and put the tape back on after a shower the next morning. Hoping to be able to stop after I've seen my surgeon. Scars are almost invisible and have healed really well, despite my being a diabetic! Don't worry, it will all be fine!

Thanks Merleuk, I've got a bit of throbbing going on but nothing major. I am glad I can still feel my nipples which ive read a lot of girls don't lol. I'm just really excited to have them after waiting so long... But as you say patience is a virtue :).
March 13, 2015
Just do what your surgeon says. I had what felt like electric shocks through my nipples at about 3 weeks. Normal recovery. Just nerve endings reconnecting. It will all be ok x
March 14, 2015
I had my BA on Thursday today has got to be my worst I feel like they're going to fall out I got 600cc with the hope of going to a DD also mine. My PS advised I keep my support bra on 24/7 until next appointment on Thursday (week after surgery) How are you finding the pain?
March 15, 2015
Hi, I have to say I've been feeling the pain until today really... 5th Day Post Op. The drugs have decreased as well on my last two and dreading tonight's sleep! How are you feeling?
March 16, 2015
I feel ok love its just going asleep and waking up that's the most pain and discomfort, I'm 4 days post op fingers crossed I can cope with just paracetamol! You sleep ok? I'm in Liverpool too.
March 16, 2015
Just having paracetamol too now, but the codeine really helped with sleep! Today I'm feeling like I can move around allot more, but slightly hesitant still lol. Boobs are looking great too. Have yours dropped much yet?
March 16, 2015
My right has a little I just don't feel like they're any bigger to be honest yet looking at before and after pictures I know they are, all this resting up is making me bored, I've already been looking at bigger implants, I was a 36b pre op 40f post op and changed to 38e last night as bra wasn't giving me the same support but they dont look that size, I still feel flat. I tried driving this morning, won't be doing that again, couldn't even take the handbrake off! Have yours dropped?

5 Days Post Op... Acne?!

Reese1990
The pain finally died down considerably today! My left arm is still weaker than the right, plus the left boob throbs allot more. I put that down to the fact the left was smaller and is stretching :). I'm washing at least once a day but this acne is developing. Especially on my lefty ????. What's that about?! Lol. Sleeping is still disturbed but my appetite is coming back again which is a good thing. I can't wait for them to drop!
