- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

This is tricky!
So these things were very nearly chucked across the room!
I tried several times yesterday to 'attach' the domes to my breasts. I got myself in a real pickle and was near to tears. The problem I had was my boobs seemed too small for even the small domes! ( you get 3 sizes in the pack) Everytime I thought they had stuck, they lost suction and fell off- oh the frustration! Anyway, I emailed the company to ask if they had extra small ones- they emailed back to say no. But to try a couple of things and not to give up. So, I tried just the one dome on my poorly boob ( this one is smaller and more puckered than the other and the one that will benefit the fat transfer the most) they suggested using a clip that is generally used to secure a wrapper, to pinch off the air in the tube, instead of using the stopper that cuts off the air to both domes. After many tries it seemed to work, but only if after I got the suction I needed, I just lay on the bed for the 2 hrs it says you must wear it. ( today was ok as I finished my book)
Apparently, if I can do this, then the breast tissue will expand sufficiently for me to attach the dome more easily, then I'll be able to go about the house with it on. It's not ideal I must admit and I most certainly would not be able to answer the door with these things attached to me, I look comical to say the least! but I'll keep going, luckily, I work from home so can spare 2 hrs a day.

Now for the fat transfer journey
Well, having spoken to my PS back end of last year, I've decided to go for fat transfer. We thought I might not be a good candidate for it as I've little fat, but it seems that I'll be fine as I only want to plump out the wrinkly bits, not actually have big boobs. So after much research, in order to prepare my breasts to accept the fat more readily, today was delivered the Breast enhance system. This has taken over from Brava system here in the U.K.
I will be diligent with it as I really want this to work.
Wish me luck lovely ladies [RS bleep]

Over 3 months. A decision had been made.
So I thought I'd do an update as I've not been on here for a little while. It's over 3 months now and I visited my PS on Tues. he took 360* photos with different positions to show what is to be done.
Thankfully we've reached a decision to go for fat graft.
As you can see, my poorly boob is no better, and after the swelling went down, has decided to be a wrinkly little prune. No nice bras, bikinis or Naturalful cream ( being used diligently ) can disguise the hideousness that I'm left with.
My PS would not do Fat graft for at least 9months to a year, as he advises the fat put in straight after explant, very often dissipates, often by 40%.
He has suggested I buy the Brava System and wear it religiously. This he tells me is not for any great change in size but to prepare the breast tissue and cells to accept the new fat ( or words there about)
This I am happy to do, if it means I will get a better result. It seems, although I'm very petit, he will find enough fat to graft. ( it was thought that might not be the case originally)
I felt so relived on leaving his office. I'm very happy to go through the motions I need to in order to get a good result. He really is s most respected surgeon of whom I trust implicitly.
So dear readers, I will let you all know how it goes along the way and the eventual outcome.
If this helps any of you out there that had recently had an explant and is sorely disappointed after a good few months, then I am happy to help.
Hugs to all of you that has gone through this challenging situation.
