2 Year Birthday!
Can't believe it's been just over 2 years now - where has that time gone?!! I thought I would put up a couple of photos of how things are looking now. I'm pleased to say the dryness to the nipples finally cleared up and all feeling has recovered in the nipples again. On the whole I am still very pleased with them. They have well and truly dropped and look pretty natural. But, I have to say, I do wish I had gone slightly bigger - probably because I have put on a little weight and so would like a bit more shape! Having said that, they settled down to a 34E which I guess is a good size. However, I am thinking I will probably need them done one more time in my early sixties - so maybe I will decide to go bigger then. I would really like to be a couple more sizes bigger - but then again, would that be sensible going forward as I age? I will see how I feel in the next few years.
My only concern has been the scars. Whilst a lot better than they were, they are still quite raised and a bit red. I can't remember how long it took for them to fade first time round.
I guess this may be my last post for a while now. Good luck to all you ladies out there thinking of having yours done.

More New Bras and Dry Nipples
Went shopping again this week - I've lost track of how many new bras I have now! Can't seem to buy enough of them! For you British ladies - it's interesting to see how sizes vary from one shop to another. But Marks & Spencer definitely seem to be on the larger size. I bought a few of the Rosie Collection silk bras and thankfully I am a 34E in their sizing - the lovely bras only go up to this size, so pleased I didn't need to buy an F. However, Boux Avenue I fitted a 34F, but felt it a little tight around my back, so finally opted for 36E. Also bought some new bikinis and looking forward to wearing them in the sun very soon!
My nipples have still been very dry and sometimes sore - particularly my left one. I think the nurse may have been right originally, that it is something to do with the nerves to the areola. When I touch that area there seems to be less feeling there than in other parts. So I am hoping this will recover in time. In the meantime I have used Vitamin E oil and moisturiser, but have just started using lanolin nipple cream for breast feeding. This also contains Vitamin E. It's Boots own brand and so far has been very effective. I'll keep you 'abreast' (no pun intended!) of how it works out!

New Bras!
After my visit to the PS I decided to treat myself to some new bras. Have two soft ones and three underwired. Wearing the soft most of time and underwired on occasions. Tried wearing no bra last night, but found it a bit uncomfortable. Every time I changed sides, I felt pulling on the outer edge of my boob. So will continue to wear compression bra for sleep a little longer.
First two bras (pink and black) have no wiring and very comfortable to wear. Brand - Panache, Purchased from Bravissimo. Size 34F
Pink dotty bra - Brand - Freya, purchased from House of Fraser. Size 34F
Black bra - Brand - Marie Meili, purchased from House of Fraser - bargain at half price - £11. Consequently size not accurate 36DD. Could have done with a cup size larger, but figured I could wear on an evening out for 'va va voom' effect!
My favourite bra - just adore the Brighton design! Brand - Tutti Rouge, purchased from Debenhams. Size 32FF.
Lovely sets, have all the matching pants too!!
How exciting to get out of those disgusting compression bras!

Provider Review
David Floyd is a lovely, approachable man. He is clearly a very knowledgeable and skilled Plastic Surgeon with excellent qualifications. I felt very at ease with him, and felt he was happy to talk to me for quite some time during my two consultations - I didn't feel at all rushed. I felt he wanted to listen to exactly what I wanted to achieve and was willing to 'go that bit extra' by providing a number of choices on the day to make sure I would be happy with the final outcome. I was also impressed by the fact he does a lot of remedial and reconstructive work for cancer patients. I came across articles on him in newspapers/magazines and tv.
