So far I have had 2 consultations in London and have 2 more booked in with other clinics. Felt really overwhelmed with how to pick a clinic/ surgeon so thought I'd see a few. So far:
Hospital group: average consultation, very rushed by the surgeon. Offered me £500 off if I paid then and there which I found very unprofessional and don't think girls should be pushed like that! Have also read about their terrible aftercare so I doubt I would go with them.
MYA: from the moment I walked in it was 100x better than the hospital group. Only met with a patient coordinator who was lovely and knowledgeable and recommended a female surgeon who specialised in small natural implants who I meet with next week. Quoted me £4995 which is £1800 more than the hospital group but price is a small factor for me, would rather go somewhere I feel comfortable!
NU cosmetics - seeing today!
Surgicare - seeing next week - although I already have a feeling they will be similar to the hospital group as I think they are linked together.
I dislike my current breasts so much that I haven't gained the courage to post a photo yet! I will aim to soon however as I know it's helpful to be able to compare.
If anyone does have any advise or feedback on going through the procedure in London/ UK it would be very well received!
Thanks all! Love reading all the posts and experience, it makes the whole process a lot less daunting! Xx

Ekkkk, can't believe I am even going to post these, they show JUST how flat I am.. Even when I'm wearing a my very padded AA bra they are tiny and in low cut tops my bra still gaps awfully. The worst part is that I'm not even very thin so they are completely out of proportion.
I struggled to find people just as flat as I was to start with so hopefully these will make others feel better and have something to compare with once I've gone through with it!

I hear you, girl! I can't fill out any bra, even an AA cup! I felt weird posting my photos, too! But it's really helpful to other girls! I'm excited to see what you decide on, as we are in similar stages of our BA journey ;)

I know how you feel about gapping in tops, ugh! Ladies with large breasts worry about their cleavage showing when they bend over, but we have to worry about showing people the full nipple! LOL!
I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see your results!

I know you've already had your surgery (I think lol haven't gone too far into reading) but I SO appreciate you sharing your story!! It's extremely frustrating having nothing up top! I feel it's a right as women that we have at least something and when you get absolutely nothing passed down to you it's a total jip!! Thank you for sharing! Ok, I'll keep reading now lol

Size confused!

Had my consultation at NUcosmetics today and it went pretty well, I really liked the coordinator and the surgeon. I was measured up and tried on some sizings before I was told what ccs they were. I was very surprised to hear that they were 350cc - 390cc that seems far to big! I thought I would achieve the look I wanted with 275cc - 300cc.
I am worried that they will come out far bigger than what I want but maybe thats because the girls I'm comparing this to all seem to have tiny frames. I don't have a very small frame and as the patient coordinator put it I have "broad shoulders and a good booty". She took a few photos for me but they aren't great.
I have two more consultations to go so it will be good to get sized with other surgeons and see what they think!

Having had implants 7 years ago to take me from a AA to what I thought would be a C please take care not to go bigger than you really want...... I have recently explanted due to the fact that however hard I tried I simply could not cope with such large breasts, I finished up a full D!! I lead an active lifestyle and ended up almost embarrassed by the size of my chest - please take care and be 100% sure you make the right decision and be happy with you as that's what really counts xx
April 10, 2016
Thank you for the advice! I guess I need to try lots on with clothing and get a feel for what I want, I'm wanting to achieve a C cup at the most! Have you had yours taken out and replaced?

Hello, I agree with bubbles24. Are you able to do the Rice test? I would really recommend it. Also, I would recommend moderate or moderate plus profile. This will give you the most natural look. I had 245cc and 265cc extra high PIP implants which look me from a 30AA to a full C cup. I asked for natural B/small C. But I got fake missile looking breasts!!! They projected by 5cm!! I'm 4'11 tall, weigh 6 stones. They looked ridiculous. Better to go too small (as you can just wear some padding :-) than too big, where you'll probably want to have them removed. I went to a consultation today and asked surgeon for 200cc max, he said he normally uses 380cc.....But why is he comparing me to his other patients? I'm probably half their sizes!!!! He wasn't happy with me for me for not agreeing with the 380cc implants. That's way too big....Lol think he wants me to look like Dolly Parton!!! Ha!!!
I think you should find out what your BWD....Also if you're 30/32 approximately 100cc corresponds to a full cup size. 34/36 approximately 200cc corresponds to a cup size and so on. For me 85-90cc corresponds to a cup size as I'm small.
Good luck xxxx

Thank you! I will try the rice test, that's a really good idea. I think I'm a 34AA currently and telling the surgeon I wanted to be about a C it would make sense that 200cc for me would equal 1 cup size. You are very right though, I'd much rather have a modest size and be able to push them up with a good padded bra if I did want to show them off a bit! Thanks again xx
April 10, 2016
You're very welcome. But definitely do the Rice test. I have to say, for me personally, even though I was going under the muscle, I think the test was accurate. Other people on this forum, say it wasn't. But then I am not sure whether they were weighing correctly? Also remember if you go under the muscle, they say 10% will be lost, for me I would say 5% was lost. It all depends on how far your ribs concaves etc. That's why sometimes you can get 2 women who are the same size and who both have the same amount of cc's and projection, and both have either under or overs, but one may end up slightly smaller. I am so pleased you undestand that it's better to be slightly smaller than you wanted than slightly bigger!! Yes I definitely think women who wanted to be bigger but end up smaller seem to be least disappointed than those who wanted to be smaller and end up bigger!!! My last op, the surgeon put in 285g TRX Allergan Natrelle inspira into both breasts even though I needed a smaller implant in the right!! I queried as to whether grass was the same as cc's. The surgeon, no grams and cc weight are different. He said 285g equals 265cc. I wanted to go smaller than I was previously with my PIP implants and I wanted less projection. He told me I would be smaller. Anyway, I ended up being a full C in the left and a D in the right!! They were Soooo big, I hated them! I cried everyday. Anyway, I couldn't afford to get them removed until after 10 months of having them. When I did I opted for no replacement as I was traumatised. Can't tell you how they implants looked and felt. I couldn't even breath properly! The surgeon who exoplanets them, not the same surgeon! Said the right ribs had concaved!
After 3 years of being flat as a pancake and spending approx £11k, I have finally decided to get new implants. I'm getting them on Tuesday. I wanted moderates, but because of my asymmetry the only implants I can choose from would be
Motiva, Ergonomix Demi (mods) 230cc and 245cc or
Motiva Ergonomix Full (high). 205cc and 220cc.
Problem is, I wish the 205 and 220cc were available in the moderate profile. So I have no choice but to go with the full as I don't want as many cc's as I had with my PIP implants (245cc and 265cc). Too much for my frame. I'm tiny.
You can have a look at my history in my profile page.
Also I would recommend smooth, if you're surgeon says no, ask for Motiva ergonomics velvet. They do a silk which is smooth.
Textured have been linked to a new form of cancer ACLA. I think it's called! Women with textured normally get this apparently. The Motiva velvet is textured but not as much as some implants are and it is less invasive on your tissues.
I am soooooo nervous about Tuesday!!!! I pray I don't end up heavy duty and fake looking. I wanted less than 200cc but because of my asymmetry, not available :-(
Good luck xxxxx

Also, something else, if you are choosing between 2 or more implants, please don't listen to surgeons who say there's not much difference between them! There is! Remember a large person will almost 'swallow' up 20 cc's, a smaller person won't! 15cc correspond to 1 tablespoon. Xxxx
April 10, 2016
I went with 375cc and my look is PERFECT for what i wanted . don't be scared for the cc's. I think I could have pulled off 400+cc and been fine with it. Although that sounds HUGE to me :p
April 10, 2016
If you check out my profile I have pictures of before and after. I am 5'6 and 130 lbs. And was a 36B before. But just barely. I'm only 3 days post op and they look amazing already. I agree with the other poster in regards to going a bit smaller and then adding extra padding if needed. Naked , my boobs don't look as big as I wanted. But in a bathing suit they look perfect size
April 10, 2016
Thanks jessibelle! It is good to see girls with different stats and how sizes vary so much depending on that. I think I am similar stats to you, 5'6 and 140 lbs so it is good to compare and look at your results which are fabulous by the way!
April 10, 2016
Thanks! I'm in absolute LOVE lol!! I think you'd be able to pull off between 375-400 with those stats. I know it sounds huge, but it's really not . My boobs got about this big when I was breastfeeding my son, so in a way I'm kind of use to it.
April 10, 2016
I've had mine out with no replacement, they had long since served their purpose :)

A lot of the size will have to do with your BWD measurement. I am on the smaller side and had very little breast tissue to begin with. I had to get high profile to get any cc's worth making the surgery worth doing and I only got 275. He could not have fit any bigger. That being said, you want an implant that fits your BWD so they aren't too small. If you are as broad as you say, the 350-390 may be the smallest implant diameter wise to be appropriate for your BWD. Also, the profile plays a part. A moderate/moderate plus profile will be wider with less cc's than a high profile. You're still going through the consult phase. Find a doctor you trust and let him make the suggestions. I trusted mine completely and he didn't steer me wrong. Good luck!! You will be so happy with yourself for doing this. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner (I was 51!). Take care and have a great day!
