16 weeks post op and finally happy with my new 32E's!

It feels like it's been a long 16 weeks since I was in the hospital waiting to go down for my op, after the op I had a whole range of mixed emotions and even slightly regretted my decision to get 275cc implants. However I can now say I wouldn't change a thing and I'm so glad I trusted my surgeon in getting that size implant! I honestly think now that if I had managed my expectations more pre op I wouldn't have felt like I did. Seeing women on TV and in magazines isn't a real reflection of what boobs look like! I'm now a 32E and didn't feel big enough to start off with which is just crazy thinking about it now. My new boobs are perfectly in proportion with my body now. I really can't recommend sites such as this enough if your thinking of having a breast augmentation and looking at other women's before and after pictures.
I've recently got back from holiday and for the first time I felt so much happier in my bikini on the beach with my new boobs! The confidence boost is unreal! I'm still finding out what clothes now suit me though which is costing a fortune! Be warned anyone who's getting a BA make sure you have extra money put aside for new bras, tops, bikini ect ect.. 32E bras don't come cheap.
I've started using bio oil on my scars and they're getting smaller now but honestly the scars don't bother me half as much as I thought they would. I wouldn't let scars put anyone off getting a BA. They're only 3cm each now!
I'll upload some pics of how much they've settled down and the scars :)

7 weeks post op .. 32Bto 32E!
Emma_ludMay 27, 2015
So I finally went and got measured at Anne summers and was amazed when I was told I was a 32E in bras that have no padding!! Although I don't feel like an E or look as big as I would of hoped this was a huge comfort! I'm still finding myself going for more padded bras though which I hoped I wouldn't have to do after having a boob job. Looking back at before and after pictures has really made me realise how much of a change there's been though! Think I need to remind myself of this a bit more often instead of getting hung up on not feeling big enough. I've started back at the gym too but only doing light exercise on things such as the cross trainer. My surgeon said not to do any running or anything 'jiggly' for at least another month, and when I do I need to wear 2 sports bras! Thinking this might be a little over the top though? Off on holiday in 2 weeks time though, so can't wait to wear bikinis with my new boobs!

Hiya, I'm having exactly the same feelings as you. I started off as a 34B but to be honest, thats just the bra size I was fitted with a few years ago, I think in the past year I've been more of a big 32A/small 32B. I'm now 15 days post op after 315cc. I only wanted to be a small C/big D but now also have the boob greed which i was almost 100% sure I wouldn't get! I think wearing sports bras all the time don't help as they make me look so flat in clothes, but even when I'm topless I still feel like they're tny. Then I tried some old bras on from before I lost weight that were 34D/DDs. They all fit and I couldn't believe it! Its too early for me to be sized yet but I'm so hoping they don't get smaller and hoping to end up at 32D minimum. I also keep looking at old photos and having to remind myself at how small I was before and just be grateful that I have anything. I know I would never be able to afford surgery again until I need them re-doing in 10/15 years so I just need to learn to love them!
Anyway, my point is, you look great! They're really not small at all and an E is massive! They look perfect on your frame and if you were bigger you'd probably look a little top-heavy, which is something I keep trying to tell myself too. Also I've read that as they drop and fluff more they often look bigger :) x

Hiya, I wouldn't worry about being smaller than a D, you had a bigger implant than me and I'm minimum a DD! I wish I'd gone for the 315cc now, yours will look amazing! I've not really noticed them drop much but they just don't pop out as much now and look a little more natural! At 15 days post op I really wasn't happy with the results at all but looking back I'm miles happier now than I was then so I think it just takes time to adjust. Hopefully give it a few more months and well both be happy with our results! Haha x

I am having a breast augmentation in 3 weeks 5 days now and I am so glad I have seen your posts, I am having similar size implants and I was worried they would be really small but seeing your photos they look great and do actually look a good size :) I think as the weeks have gone on they look alot bigger as well ! Excited now :)
June 24, 2015
Oh good luck, hope it all goes well! I've just got back off holiday and I can't explain how good it feels to now have boobs! I'm really happy with the size now it just takes a little bit of getting used to but just trust that your surgeon knows what'll look good :)

3 weeks post op and thinking 275cc is too small..
Emma_ludApril 30, 2015
3 weeks post op and I've got no pain at all! Completely back to normal now! The scabs have started to fall off now and you can hardly see any scar! I'm deffo thinking I should of gone for 300cc though they just don't seem or look like the boobs I wanted :( might just be because I'm only wearing sports bras at the moment! I tried on a proper bra the other day though and they did look miles better! I'll upload a pic! I've noticed that one of my boobs now looks bigger than the other which is really bugging me, I don't know if I'm being too paranoid though?
Got my next appointment with my PS in 2 weeks time, can't wait to get the all clear to wear normal bras!

I think you look great! I'm getting 265cc under in 2 weeks.

How you feeling now? I have mine in 10 days and have similar stats to you. Just had my pre op yesterday and my surgeon said he thinks we should go for 275 or 315 but most likely the 275. I'm hoping to be a D cup so worried the 275 will be too small but trying to trust him. Your pictures make me feel better as they look great and a perfect size! Do you know what cup size you are yet? Would love to see some update photos of you have any to help put my mind at ease! X

I'm feeling great now, honestly I can't feel a thing anymore! I couldn't believe how big I actually am, I thought from looking that I'd be a C but I'm more like a DD when I tried bras on! Mine are still dropping and 'fluffing' too. I let my surgeon choose the size in the end, he said if I went any bigger than 275cc they might sag or drop too much because I haven't got a lot of tissue to start with. Have you tried a rice sizer at home? It'll give you an idea about really how big you'll be. And I'll put an updated picture on soon but to be honest I can't really see any change from the last pics haha! Anyway don't worry about it sure yours will look amazing! Good luck!
May 4, 2015
Oh that's brilliant, glad you're feeling better! And that's made me feel way better about the size, i think anything over a small D would look strange on me with my frame so the 275 that my surgeon suggested should be perfect! Thanks for your advice :) x

Hi. I am glad you are feeling well. I had my implants with Dr De gado last April. I trusted that he picked the right size for my chest. I had 290 cc tear drops. I also went through boob greed. I also went through paranoia about different sized boobs. All this is normal. This is something you have looked forward to for a long time and you are fixating on everything. Think of it that you have had two operations. One on each breast. They heal differently. And at different times. It helped me to take photos each week so i could see how the shape of my breasts changed. It took 6 months before i finally could see the final results. I have very natural looking breasts that suit my frame. Thats the beauty of Dr Degado s talent. He will have picked the right size for you. They will look gorgeous but you have to be patient which i know is very hard. The final results will be worth it Promise xx

Hi, I agree Dr Degado is a perfectionist, so glad I chose to go with him for my op. Still wishing id chosen a bigger size but I'm thinking I had an unrealistic expectation now. How do your scars look now? And are you happy with your results? and I really hope I do become happy with them too, at the moment they're just not the size I expected xx
May 22, 2015
I think we fixate on size a lot at first as this was our main goal. Now 12 months on i love how natural the breasts look ( had overs , tear drop). I can push them up if i want to look a bit more voluptuous but dont need a padded bra so i am so happy. My scars have healed well slightly above the incision line. Used bio oil for months. I love the gorgeous bras but dr de gado likes you to wear s sports bra so i tend to come home in the evening and change into one then. I also wear one for bed and dont sleep on my front Thats my choice. Just teturned to the gym properly. Was scared they would displace with being overs. But all is fine. Hope you are healing well be patient. You will come to love the size and look of your breasts soon xxxx

Hi. I got 290cc. I was 34 A. I am now a 34D. More importantly the breasts look natural and suit my frame. Hope all goes well xx
