WORTH IT
Hi everyone I'm just updating you all on my progress with pics so u can see how I'm healing. I am thrilled with my results. My right boobs is a bit bigger and my nipples aren't circle lol but I LOVE THEM. I am able to do everything as normal now. Nipples are fully working and sensitive. I am between a 34c&34d cup size. I would have loved to have been a b if I'm honest... But I think that might have devastated my bf. I only told people about my op on a need to know basis I.e family, best friend but some people have noticed - a lot of people Immediately thought I'd lost a lot of weight. I just said I'd lost weight and people accepted that. If u have any questions ASK me. I'm happy to help and answer any queries!!! If ur thinking about this think long & hard. Sometimes j tyhink I can't believe I actually did this. Its crazy. But I am 100% happy with my op and outcome.

P.s the red link between my boobs was cuz of my bra that's not a scar lol

Staff professionalism & courtesy
Payment process
Wait times

My PS is an NHS doctor what he lacks in personality he makes up for in skills. I am very pleased with my results. He is very talented and quite forthright in telling you what he thinks is best. I would recommend him 100%. I now have beautiful breasts. He isn't a talker but then again he is a PS not a psychiatrist. Direct and informative answers given to my questions. From first consult to operation day was 10 weeks and this is on the NHS. Operation was completely free. No payment at all. I saw Mr Koshy at the first consult for 10 mins, then before the op to mark me up for 10 mins and then at my post op for 10mins.

"You will grow to love your chest" Hahaha, best line ever from someone who's not living in them (the doctor). I was 55 years old when I had my BR and I certainly never grew to love them all those years! You look great, dear!

You look great - glad to hear it BR has had such a positive impact - thanks for coming back with an update. I am from UK but live in Texas now. got my surgery in 8 days - hope I can remember everything to do to heal well. Thanks!

Thanks. Good luck for your op. I didbt take anything extra to heal. Just rest and my right badgepeel off a bit which I was worried about and now my right breast looks better. Perhaps letting air to it helped.. enjoy the experience because it definately has a fantastic outcome!!

Thanks - yes there seems to be mixed advice from PS. One lady was told just to wear a cami or keep them bare. Mostly bound up. thanks!

Hi amarie300, Hope you are doing well after your surgery. I have recently had a an appointment with mr Koshy at whiston hospital and have been told I am eligible for a reduction and have been put on the waiting list. What I wanted to know was whether you got a confirmation letter from the hospital to say it all definite and when you would receive your op date?

Hi!! Good luck with everything! I got a phone call exactly 1 month after my inital appointment with koshy. The a letter in the post a few days later to confirm my date which was 2 weeks later! Eek! So exciting!! I love my chest now. It is apparent ive had an op but in time that will fade as its only been 7 months. The nurses and everyone took such great care of me. My appointments were in Whiston but my op was in st helens.

Thank you so much for your reply. I just can't believe it's actually going to happen. I thought I would have receive a confirmation letter about a week after my consultation as the surgeon said she was gonna write to my GP. I think I just need to see it writing b4 I can believe it. Your boobies look great from your pictures. I hope I end up with a similar result. Thanks again.

Glad to have read your boob journey, I'm 8 days away from a reduction and having a panic! Should I shouldn't I! Am I going to manage to do things after, how sore is it going to be. I'm sure everyone has all these doubts!

Can i just say! I REALLY noticed a difference today. I went to a boxing class this morning and was able to put in 100% without and discomfort/ bra straps digging, sweaty boobs, wires prodding me, boobs giving me a black eye. I am so happy!

What do you mean by Mr Koshy "lacks personality"? He did my reconstuction surgery and I would say he's got bags of personality - matching his amazing skills!

I just didnt find him particularly chatty or anything. His work is fantastic ans for that I am thrilled. I hope u are pleased with ur results!!

Hi Amarie, Thanks so much for your review. I'm also a UK girl and find it rare to read UK reviews on here! Your results look great and I'm glad you finally got it done :) I am going to have to get a loan for mine as I don't think I will get approved through the NHS - my GP's are all quite mean near me! How are your scars now it's been a few months?

October 26, 2013
Hi! Sorry its taken so long to reply!!! I need to update!! Il post with pics tomorrow hopefully. Ny scars look good. The vertical scars look great the horizontal scars are still quite colourful. I would def recommend ti EVERYONE! I Would try the nhs because u never know. But even if u have to get a loan id say it will be the best £ u ever spend. Were r u located. If u have any q's just ask!! I felt quite blind going into this so I am happy ro give advice or info to anyone!!! Good luck xx

Thanks for your lovely message! I live in the southwest, my sister lives in Liverpool though! I have another appointment with my PS in two weeks time, quite nervous but excited! Your scars look so good and the shape is really natural! It's nice reading you're 100% happy you did it, it feels so scary before hand!! xx

6 week mark

marie300July 25, 2013
Today i am 6 weeks and 3 days PO. I am very happy with my results. I am now definitely a 34c cup size and loving it! I can start wearing underwired bras but im only wearing them a day or so a week and mostly sticking with my non-wired bras so as not to cause an irratation. My right under boob scars are better than the left, but my left nipple scars are better than the right. Tried on an old string bikini which used to cut into me and now it feels great! Also got some pretty bras for just £5!!!
How exciting!
I dont think many people are following my story any longer but i do hope this can help at least 1 girl! I really adore t new boobs my bf is sick of hearing me talk about how much i love them :)
He is also really pleased with them! I would far more prefer to show people my boobs now with my scars than before with my horrible massive boobs! I still cant quite believe that ive has this done i half feel like I might wake up with massive boobs again!
This really is a dream come true!!

You are looking great :-) again well done for beating the NHS system. The NHS is great for routine appointment or emergency but crap for cosmetic. :-) :-)

I'm still following your story! :) I think you look absolutely brilliant! :) I know what you mean about feeling so much more comfortable people seeing your boobs now, even with scars. I'm exactly the same! I don't care about the scars at all! How my boobs are now cannot even compare to before - the scars are irrelevant!!

Still reading your updates :) Good to hear everything is progressing nicely, and a c-cup! At 5 GBP. Not bad at all! I'm still a bit miffed that I'll still have to go to pricey lingerie stores to get my size. I went from 32G UK size to 32DD. Well, either that or order online from M&S.

I can get some variations but i look online for the beast ones even though im a 14d now. All the stores 14d bras have padding and pfft hell no! I love thin lace demi bras and i really like pretty full cups. ^_^

No padding for me either ;O) The last thing I want is to make the boobs appear bigger than they are. Ah, lingerie. I just ordered a book on Amazon on lingerie making. I've been dabbling a bit in it, and after the reduction it's so much more fun!

Haha im still watching your updates! My boyfriend is sick of hearing about mine too and just says "yes dear..." Lol. Your boobs look lovely and very natural sitting. If your not happy a year down the track there are always revision options for scars and fatty areas but just to let you know i think they look amazing :) x
