25 Years Old, 9 Stone, 5'6'' - Wanted to Look Like a Woman! Got 400cc HP Over The Muscle

Like many people on this website, I have found reading other people’s reviews invaluable during this process. Therefore I figure I should return the favour and document my story too.

Firstly, a bit about me:

Age: 24
Height: 5’6’’
Weight: 9 stone / 126 lbs / 57kg (give or take a few pounds)
Bra size: 32C
Bust measurement: 34”
Underbust measurement: 28”
Waist measurement: 27”
Hips (widest part of bum) measurement: 37.5”

Current boobs:
I wear a 32C and I fill out the cups sideways (the wire fits snug around the edge of each boob), however I don’t fill the top of the cup and always have a big gap. On top of that most of the volume is by my underarm, and I have at least a 2” gap between my boobs. In no clothes they look rather sad, and as you can tell from my measurements, I have quite a ‘pear’ body shape! Dresses never fit and I wear baggy tops as I either don’t fill them out, or they show too well how flat-chested I am!

I’ve wanted boobs since before I hit puberty, I don’t know – maybe it came from playing with Barbies or something. But I hit puberty and nothing happened. I remember searching through the laundry to find my mum’s bra size – 36E! So I reassured myself one day they would grow. They didn’t. Turns out my little sister got the boob genes; she’s currently about a 34F! I don’t want to be as big as either of them though.
At first I didn’t want a ‘boob job’ as I figured it was something for [RS bleep] stars and Hollywood. Then I came up with many, many excuses. What if I have a small-chested daughter and my enlarged boobs make her dislike her own figure? What if I get pregnant and they become TOO big? What if everyone notices and judges me badly? What if they think I’m a ‘[RS bleep]’? What if my parents find out? They would be disappointed in me. How will I tell if someone loves me for me or my new boobs? What if they go wrong or I don’t like the result? Wouldn’t the money be better spent on a car or going towards a house deposit?

I’ll stop that now.

So basically I really, really wanted bigger boobs for a very long time, but I convinced myself there was nothing I could (or would) do about it.

But I’ve been in a relationship for several years now. The first year my bf was all “I love your boobs as they are”, then as he realised how much I hated them he changed to “I love you and will love you whatever size they are” and then to “If you want them, just go for the surgery”. And now he’s all “just get them done already!”

Then while he was on holiday I stumbled across a youtube video on loving boobs, and as I clicked though to the next videos I ended up watching a video on someone’s boob journey.

And I realised.

My biggest thing putting me off a boob job was that I wished I got them done sooner (so less people would notice). And for the rest of my life I was going to regret never just going for it.

So I did a LOT of googling, and booked FOUR consultations with different clinics. I decided to just DO IT. And now, I’M SO EXCITED! It’s just a matter of choosing the clinic, surgeon, size, timing, etc…

So the first clinic I went to was The Harley Medical Group (HMG) in Watford (just North West of London). The clinic was just round the corner from the high street and looked like a regular office block. It had a shared reception so I felt I little awkward asking the man at reception the way to HMG.

When I went in the woman was very friendly and gave me a form to fill out with medical details, age, weight, etc. Then we went into her office/exam room. She told me she was a nurse and we went through my form and why I want the procedure. When she asked what my ideal size was I told her I was wearing a “2 sizes bigger” bra, and I basically want that size without the bra!

So off came the t-shirt! I told her I was a little nervous and she reassured me that she used to be a midwife so has seen EVERYTHING (the poor thing). She took a look at me in my bra and felt the cups to get an idea of size. Then off came my bra! She did some touching and light pinching to get an idea of how much tissue I had already, then on went the sizing bra – exciting stuff! She popped in a shaped sizer and asked me what I thought. I thought a little bigger so she put in mini shaped sizer under the current one. I got to put my t-shirt over the top and quite liked it. Apparently that was 350cc (I had no prior expectation on what cc I wanted). She said I’d get to try them on again with the surgeon, and he’d recommend round or teardrop implants.

Throughout the whole thing she was super nice and friendly and answered all my questions (I had a list). I got to feel one of the silicone Mentor implants and she told me they had a jelly baby consistency, could be cut in half, and Mentor had even driven a truck over them to test them! We also went over recovery and implant position. If I want a surgeon consultation it’ll be £100.

The following week I went to Make Yourself Amazing (MYA) in London near Euston train station. They had a big MYA sign outside (great, everyone knows where I’m going) and a white, modern reception room with huge pictures of z-list celebrities who’d had work done with them. It sort of re-ignited my fear of looking like a [RS bleep], but I tried to ignore it.

The woman there was also lovely, and really enthusiastic. She was a patient coordinator, not a nurse, which meant no getting the boobs out, boo. Although I got to feel the implants again and see some before & after photos. We went over everything the same as HMG, except she told we 95% of people get round implants as the shaped don’t make much difference. She gave me a brief-bio of two of their surgeons and strongly recommended one over the other due to friendliness. Although it made me wonder if she’s working on commission, rather than for my best interests. The price she quoted me was over £1000 more than HMG as well (I’ll go over prices and aftercare offered in another post).

However they do offer free surgeon consultations!
