So I'm 22 days away from having my BA and I'm so...
WORTH IT
So I'm 22 days away from having my BA and I'm so excited. Ever since I had my daughter 20 years ago I've felt self conscious about my figure, I'm 5ft 5, about 110lb and a UK 6-8. I've always had a curvy bum and small waist but no top to balance me out. (I'm a small 32b) Pre children they were small but pert, but having breast fed both my children for a year each I lost all upper fullness. In my thirties I suppose I relaxed my attitude, my husband says he loves me figure the way it is, but hey I really really want to fill a decent sized bra and basically feel more womanly!!!
Size is sooo hard to judge, I've been back and forth to the clinic several times to try the implants out, how on earth do you cope with a 10 year + decision!! I'm pretty sure I'm going with 470cc Natrelle overs, (it sounds scarily big, but I've been assured that my pockets are big enough)
The whole don't go too big or small dilemma occupies my thoughts constantly. I've read so much about boob greed versus they're to big I hate them!
Is 470 too big for me???
This site is full of "under" reviews, but here in the UK it seems overs are more the norm...
I had my pre-op with the lovely nurse yesterday - all fine and well, she advised my to take Arnica one week before and after to help with the healing.
Now all I can do is wait..... Hopefully the next 3 weeks will fly!

How did it go?
August 29, 2015
Hi, the op itself was pretty easy to cope with - I was on minimal painkillers for the first 5 days. I felt no real pain - the tablets just helped with the tight and somewhat sore feeling across my boobs. I pretty much did nothing for a week though to allow myself time to start healing - I read so many times how women are driving day 3, cooking dinner etc, But honestly I just wanted to protect my investment and take it easy...
I'm over the moon with my results - I've loved them since day one. I promised myself I wouldn't keep scrutinising them while they healed and it's really kept me calm and relaxed. All a very positive experience!
Are you booked in or are you doing a little background homework while thinking about it?

Can I say thank you very much for bravely sharing your experience .. For all the positive reasons . I'm having my ba in December and I too am having sub glandular silicone high profile implants .. Ive preferred to read reviews from uk as this is where I live. The opportunity to see photos of your surgery and your post surgery shape is most informative, re assuring.. And an excellent resource. thankyou again
October 7, 2015
You're most welcome - I fully remember how scary and maybe even lonely it can getting through a BA - this site for me has been invaluable and I'm really glad my review has helped you :-)
I'm so pleased I went for subglandular hps - I have the exact result i had hoped for.
Wishing you lots of luck and happiness on your soon-to-be BA :-)

What made you do saline overs? It is good that you are happy, but I think they look very round, like balls stuck onto your chest. That is just my opinion, and I was hoping to hear your logic in choosing this method.
August 30, 2015
That is so rude. All that matters is that she's happy. I think they look great. Plus it takes a while for them to fall into their final shape. Think about what you're writing and keep your mean thoughts to yourself. You could have worded that differently and gotten the answer. :(
August 30, 2015
Thank you perfectionpro for your comment. I do not have saline implants, I have silicone overs. As I am only at week 5 they haven't taken on their final appearance and softened up yet - early days, so I'm not panicking in the slightest, and yes I'm very happy with the result so far. I have seen my surgeons work in two people very close to me, and the change in appearance from 5 weeks to 5 months is dramatic! I'm not sure why you felt the need to write negative words on my review - but I fully accept that we all have different opinions.
I'm sharing my review for other lovely ladies to show that the results take time. That's all :-)

Peony poppy - thank you so much for your support - it is quite an emotional ride having a BA - but negativity is never nice - you are lovely :-)
August 30, 2015
Omg how rude I can't abide rudeness totally unessissary perfectionPro! Mine look exactly the same as PussicatEF and they do not look like balls on either of our chests!! At 5 weeks they are no way near dropped and fluffed yet. Saying things like that is not helpful in the slightest and I believe if someone says that to you, you would be very upset. PussicatEF don't not let negativeness ruin your PERFECT boob for you. I'm very emotional at the mo and would definitely not found that at all helpful xx
August 30, 2015
Ahh thank you lovely lady for your support xx I am on a real roller coaster of emotions at the moment....
A thoughtless negative comment to some could be extremely damaging at this fragile time!! I shudder to think. BUT I refuse to let the negative opinion of one individual ruin or change my perception of how I feel post BA :-) :-) :-) xx

Thank you, Pussicat EF. Do you mind sharing why you chose the over the muscle method instead of under? I did not know that Natrelle made silicone and saline, interesting. Also, thanks for posting, and I will continue to observe what you mean by 5 months later, they could look totally different.
Also, to your other commenters, personally I think they look really round and stuck on NOW. Pussicat EF did explain that she expects them to change. The whole reason for following this site is to learn and see what results and doctors we would want to use. I was very careful to preface the thought that is was just my opinion, and that personal happiness is most important. Believe me, there are some atrocious results on this website in general, and if I think something looks terrible, I do NOT comment. On the spectrum of breast implants, these are too round looking in my opinion, and I as trying to ascertain the differenced as were explained to PussicatEF in choosing "over" vs. "under".

Thank you for your reply
I consider your initial approach to be rather negative - I wouldn't dream of offering a negative opinion to a stranger in the street.
Yes, this is a public forum but the community offers guidance and support.
Your negative thought was not helpful and potentially very hurtful.
I am totally bewildered why you thought you should make it - you are onviously very interested in the mechanics of a BA but please bear in mind a lot of ladies post BA feel quite fragile while everything settles - It is scary looking at your figure while it's healing.
This all adds up to me really not wanting to enter into a conversation with you about my BA. You have me on the defence and I feel no friendly vibes from you -
I politely request that you do not leave further comments on my review.
Thank you.

I was a little shocked to read the initial comment from perfectionpro and my initial reaction was how bloody rude!!! Have to say that's still my opinion...
It was a negative comment and could of caused upset... And interestingly I couldn't find anything that suggested this person had undergone any BA surgery merely some comments on others choices which on the whole were not helpful...
If somebody decides to undergo surgery it's for thier own personal reasons and the fact they choose to share things on here is a very brave move... We all go thru this to make ourselves feel better about our bodies and share our journeys there is no need for people like that to comment .
PussicatEF looks amazing as do many of the ladies on here...
Oh and just for the record I have Natrelle silicone overs too...It seems overs are the most popular method here in the uk...
Hope your ok pussicatEF don't let this person get to you... There's always one where ever you go! x

Thank you so much for your support drumingdiva - means a lot. I can't even begin to fathom why another woman would wish to be so openly negative. Why would they leave a comment - just move on to someone that is asthetically pleasing hey! :-/ x
August 31, 2015
There is nothing not to like your results are amazing ... I don't know how someone could do such a thing... It's just rude!
I know it's easy to say but don't let it get you down... your looking great x

Perfectionpro you just can't quit, huh? People ask you to play nice and you STILL say "they look too round". They haven't settled yet and so far look pretty damned good. They actually look a lot like my boobs when I was breastfeeding!
You look great, sweetheart. Don't worry about this chick or anyone else. I can't wait to see them in a few months!

Thank you so much for your lovely words, it is a nail biting time wondering if they're going to look ok.
But, their shape is definitely starting to soften so I'm staying calm - I love my boobs, actually it's great just to have any boobs!!! ;-)
I really don't understand how anyone could be so openly negative, attempt to justify themselves, then proceed to carry on sticking the proverbial knife in - it was like errrrr really????
I'm sticking with my journey despite the negativity and will keep posting updates for other ladies considering my placement to learn from.
Your support means a lot, thank you lovely lady x

Paranoid I'm getting a cold ????
Did anyone else feel like this?? I'm 3 days away from my BA and I'm convinced I'm going to come down with a cold and that surgery will be cancelled arghhhh!!!

I feel the same way. Did you end up getting a cold? I'm 3 days away and my son is sick and my nose is running. How do they handle a cold before surgery?
August 30, 2015
Hi, ahh I feel for you - children bring every cold home it seems, hopefully you'll just shrug it off.
Luckily it was all just my mind and body playing tricks - the nerves were really kicking in!
if you're running a temperature they may prefer to postpone - if it's the simple sniffles and you are not unwell in most cases they're happy to proceed so I believe. It's really up to each clinic and surgeon. I don't think I would have wanted to have my BA done with a full blown cold - all the sneezing and nose blowing!!
Fingers crossed for you, good luck and wishing you lots of happiness on your booby journey :-)

i was worried about getting a cold too. Yes ... I believe we all feel this away -and I'm wondering if I went big enough
September 7, 2015
Luckily I didn't come down with a cold, it was just stress and worry before the op! When did you have your BA?
October 13, 2015
just anxiety
October 13, 2015
Completely that - I was so scared that the op I'd waited so long for was going to be cancelled!
October 17, 2015
lol this is me now
October 17, 2015
I'd waited so long for my BA I was a little paranoid it would be cancelled! Good luck, when's your op date?

BA 3 days ago 445cc really happy????
So I had my op on Saturday and it's now Wednesday morning. Took these photos yesterday. Just thought I'd post them for others to look at as I found making a decision on size so hard! I must have looked at hundreds of pics! So here they are. Thought I'd have frankenboobs but they actually look pretty symmetrical and round, just sitting really high and a bit swollen. I cannot stress enough how relieved I am to be on the other side, the run up to the op was so nerve wracking!!! I have boobs yaaaaay!

Congratulations!!! They look great! I am glad you are posting pictures and your review because lime you I am considering over the muscle implants. It was recommended by the first PS I consulted with. I am having a second consultation this week with a different PS and see what I decide.
August 27, 2015
Thank you :-) I am so pleased with my overs, even though I only had small boobs to start with the subglandular placement has worked really well for me. I'm sorry my pics are a little out of order - but under each pic I've said what stage they are :-) Theres not many overs reviews on here so I will keep posting picture progress updates. What size are you thinking of going with?
August 27, 2015
Love your review! as u say not many over reviews on here and most the friends i have that have had BA all have overs here so i was wondering if it was the norm or not so what profile did u have they are lovely and pert! Exactly what id like :) x
August 28, 2015
Thank you :-) x Does seem that overs are more the norm here in the UK. I'm quite petite, only a 28/30 bra so I went for high profile, 445cc and I've loved them since day 1! I had so many nerves about the size I was going for - the 445cc is a pretty tight fit in my pocket. I originally wanted the 470 but my surgeon said I'd end up with 2 shelves!! So although I know they will still change appearance and soften up loads more I'm not going to loose the upper pole which I love!
Do you have your op date yet? What size and profile are you thinking? I've realised that the sizers only give you a rough idea - I felt huge and matronly with the 445 sizer but I took the plunge - The real thing is so much better :-) x

I am not sure yet. I am 5" 3' 130 pounds and want to lose 10 before my surgery. I want my boobs to be full since they are deflated after breastfeeding my youngest for 2+ yrs... I look at them and it's like they are so depressed LOL I am thinking 450-475 cc's but I don't want them to look hard or super fake. I have some sagging :( which is not too bad and the PS did not recommend a lift unless I want one but I don't want it at this time. I think that after they are full they will look great even if there is a little sagging. My husband says he does not want me to get huge boobs, I don't either but I don't want to pay all that money and not be noticeable or end up referring not going bigger. I appreciate your review. It's very helpful :)
September 9, 2015
You look amazing! I was just wondering what width implant you went with? I'm having my 2nd BA due to a rupture and want to go for 375cc implant (bigger) but narrower in width and I'm so worried about making the wrong decision! Like you, I'm very skinny and have hardly any body fat and my current implants are 325cc with a 11.5 width
Hope my second time round boobies look as good as yours!

Hi and thank you! I'm super pleased with my result.
Unfortunately I couldn't tell you what my implant stats are - I had complete faith in my surgeon to achieve the look I was after so all I knew was the cc's - I left the rest completely up to him.
So sorry I can't help more - wishing you lots of happiness and success on your revision :-)

No problem! It's not a detail many people know tbh! It's only because I've had problems that I'm like totally over researching these things! Thank you for your reply and best wishes to your life with your amazing boobies!

Hi what bra did you wear I've just got mine done on the 16th indeed but am in a lot of pain I think it's the bra? Thank you
September 18, 2015
Hi, congratulations on your new boobs! :-)
It's pretty common for your rib cage to measure an inch or two bigger for a couple of weeks after the surgery - I'm a 30 inch usually and a 32 was really tight and made me feel so uncomfortable!!
I then swapped to a Macom longline bra - they specialise in post surgery bras - it was perfect and like wearing a little bit of heaven!! (Macom have an online shopping site)
You're going to feel pretty uncomfortable for the first week no matter what you do, but a comfy bra would really help! Take it really easy, rest lots and lots, painkillers when needed, and if you're at all concerned with your pain levels then I'm sure a quick call to your nurse would be good.
The week will fly and you'll soon be enjoying your great boobs. Happy healing :-)

Hi , what made you choose Inspira TSX over Mentor or other Natrelle implants ?
October 13, 2015
Hi
As far as I can remember, my chosen PS here in the UK offered implants from the Natrelle range - the soft touch and the responsive.
I told him I specifically wanted a look with lots of upper pole fullness.
Due to my petite frame (28" underband on 5ft5) presumably the only way I'd fit the measurements of a 445cc implant was to have either a TRX or TSX as they have a narrow base and more projection. Moderate plus, high etc would simply have been too wide for my chest.
Finding a surgeon I was completely happy to put my trust in was a huge relief and I ended up with the exact look I wanted to achieve :-)

Apologies that I can't be more specific with my measurements - I did want the 470cc but was firmly told by my PS that it was too many cc for my frame on an ultra high - he said I'd end up with a pair of shelves - I just thank goodness I listened to him.
October 13, 2015
i see, so he didn't bring up the subject of rippling, cohesiveness and the like.
im reimplanting in 3-6 months and hope to make a better choice this time around
