So in November 2014 I began researching BA after discovering some of my colleagues had implants which looked very natural. I spoke with them about their experience and figured it was something viable however have been back and forth about whether to do it because I am comfortable with my body already but like other women want to wear those dresses, strapless, backless etc without a bra and swimming costumes without padding! So I decided to book some consultations;
the first was with Transform, I was very unimpressed because the surgeon tried to sow seeds of insecurity but indirectly, i.e. drawing tubular breasts implying I had these, noting and reiterating all imperfections with my breasts and not really having any other method of salesmanship other than trying to make me hate my breasts as they are. I left annoyed and questioning "wow are they really that bad?" I decided to go to another consult and see if they had the same opinion
I then went to The Hospital Group, my patient care co-ordinator Sara Shone was fantastic, very empathic, reassuring and thorough. I explained what had happened with Transform and she was as shocked as I was at what their surgeon had said. So then I met my PS Mr Marcos Sforza who I had researched prior to the consult and was so far impressed with the amount of information online for him (Transform had very little apart from their own bias testimonials). Mr Sforza was fantastic, he made no attempt to highlight the negatives and answered my questions in detail. He was so laid back but in a professional manner and appeared very honest and trustworthy. I then tried on some sizers and decided 350cc looked good for my size however after reading a lot of reviews I'm wondering whether to go bigger, to the 380cc perhaps? Any advice on this would be welcomed!
I left the consult really confident and excited then returned home to tell the BF I would be going ahead! BF has been extremely supportive and will be helping me through recovery :).
Shortly after with an obsessive amount of research I started to panic about capsular contracture as the rates of this vary with some saying up to 25%! I emailed my patient care co-ordinator and she rang me to explain that in all her years working there she had seen a couple douzen and the rate was more like 2%. I hope this is the case because cc would just be devastating after going through all that! She was very reassuring and most of all she was very genuine, I cannot commend her professionalism along with the PS enough!
So I'm still waiting to hear what dates are available for May but hoping for around the 12-15th mark, once I have one booked I will update but in the mean time any words of advice, comments or input would be massively appreciated!

Good luck on your surgery!!! Did you decide on the 350cc? Size all depends on what you start with and what your hoping to achieve. I started a flat 32A and 350cc brought me to a full 32c/34B small32D. You may have more breast tissue than me so you could get more out of the 350cc's. The best advice that I could give is to know your bra band size and get professionally measured. A C cup on a 32 is much smaller than a 34C which is more commonly found in stores. This is what confused me the most cause I had always worn a 34" bra and never imagined that my doctor would think that I wanted a 32C. Also, try on different sizers and go with the biggest one you are comfortable with. They will definitely shrink smaller than the sizers! Best of luck! I can't wait to see how they turn out! Keep us updated :))

aw thanks for your advice :)!! I feel I'd be a bit gutted at a 34 tbh but what got me thinking around the 350cc mark was that at the first consultation, the surgeon suggested 285cc so when I suggested 350cc at my next consultation it seemed like a big leap in what I'd become mentally adjusted to. My profile picture is the 350cc sizers but I'm starting to look at these like hmm I should go bigger. My friend had her boobs done and I dont know what cc she had but you'd never know she's had them done, I think I want less of a subtle look. I've measured myself and think I've put on weight recently and am now at a 34A so worried that 350cc would only be a b but I would like to leave it up to the surgeon 400 sounds so big but yet 50ccs is nothing! argh it's so confusing! I have 39 inch hips too so would like to have a decent hourglass figure. I'm at the point now where I just want someone to decide for me! Thanks again :)

Im wondering whether to go bigger? the number 400 sounds so scary for some reason even though the difference isn't huge. I've read a few reviews say their ps has 5 different sized of implants during the op, I've never been told this is in the UK not sure if it's standard practice?

Thank you, yeah this is also what the PS said. I'm just so tired :( hard to focus on the positives when I've had such little sleep all week.
