WORTH IT$3,990
Hiya everyone,
Seen as I spent and still do spend so much time on her reading reviews I thought I'd write a quick one myself!
I am 29 years old and had wanted boobs since I was 14 and they never grew! At 5ft 6" and size 8 my 32A chest made me feel boyish and self conscious, particularly after breastfeeding two daughters. Finally decided to go ahead with surgery earlier this year and was thrilled to bits to get booked in so early. I went with the Harley Medical Group and had my consultations in Nottingham and surgery in Preston with Dr Mahadev (who was absolutely lovely). He made me feel completely at ease, explained the prosedure in detail and answered my queries clearly.
Under his advice we ended up going with the 350cc HP mentor overs, I was super flat chested previously with very little breast tissue. I was aiming for a D cup to make the surgery worthwhile but keep me in proportion.
Dr Mahadev actually ordered 3 sizes and on the day of surgery I asked him to go for the biggest he could fit which was the middle of the three in the end.
I'm now just over 4 weeks post surgery and I am undecided on the size however I appreciate that he fitted the best he could. He got it spot on in terms of not making me look too fake and keeping me in proportion which I'm thrilled with! However like a lot of ladies on here I do wish if it had been possible I could have gone bigger as in clothes I don't feel a difference to pre surgery as I wore triple gel bras. So unfortunately in that respect my confidence hasn't boosted as much as I'd hoped it would. Don't get me wrong without clothes there's a difference and I do look better but I still think a size bigger would have looked ok it was just unfortunate I couldn't go bigger.
Dr Mahadev did listen to my requests and did fit the biggest he could, whilst maintaining a fairly natural look (as natural as fake boobs can look). I'm only just over 4 weeks so I've not been measured yet but I'm wearing a 32D sports bra.

Hiya everyone, hope you're all well and happy with your new boobies!! Unfortunately for me I'm suffering with the dreaded 'boob greed' and it's really getting me down. I have always felt super self conscious of my ugly flat boy chest so finally after years of wanting it decided to go ahead and get my boobs done!
I only went to one clinic (which after reading some reviews I kind of regret cus never got the opportunity to get second and third opinions). In terms of size I told my surgeon I was aiming for a d/dd as still wanted to look in proportion and not too barbie like. Obviously was told they don't work in cup sizes implants are measured in cc's and was given some to try in clinic. But I thought either way I've given him an idea of roughly what I'm aiming for. I asked for the biggest he could go considering how flat chested I was as I knew they wouldn't be huge!
On surgery day he went with 350cc as this was best he could fit bless him and I appreciated his honesty. But I immediately felt they weren't big enough and I've tried to convince myself otherwise ever since and tell myself in time they'll 'grow on me' parden the pun haha! I'm still feeling super self conscious though, so much so that at 5 weeks I'm nervous to go get measured for bras incase they tell me I'm only a B cup which is my worst nightmare after paying £4000 and having this over me for the next 3 years I'd actually have preferred to have left my body alone and stuck to wearing my gel bras.
I emailed the clinic yesterday to ask for a copy of my before and after pics in the hopes this would cheer me up and make me realise the difference. I'm waiting to hear back! I'm just so gutted that I took this huge step I've been wanting to do for so so long and I was certain I'd instantly feel better but I don't it's not made me anymore confident in my own skin.
I don't think it helps that my boobs feel really weird at the min and I'm still getting used to this foreign body in me, which I've read can take months or even a year. At the moment my nipples are super sore and painful to touch and the rest of my boobs just feel totally numb touching them actually makes my skin crawl.
I would strongly advice girls to really give it some serious thought before rushing in, for some it's the best thing they ever did for others they're not so sure it was the right choice.

Hiya Hun, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling pretty crap about your results. I think your results are great - as you know - and hopefully you've got potentially another 4 months of d&f which could improve things? Would be good to know what your PS thinks? Whilst I'm not in your shoes, the thought has crossed my mind - what if they're not the size I want, after paying a small fortune to get me there. Fingers crossed your before and afters show you how much you've changed and it lifts your spirit. Made me think about what you said in a comment earlier about all the ladies who are lucky enough to be able to get 400+ cc's but you can only do what's right for your body and doesn't create a monoboob on your chest. I know it doesn't take the boob greed away but maybe it will help a teeny bit to think you might not have been happy with larger anyway because you wouldn't have got the natural result? I dunno, just stick in there :) xx

Hiya Hun, thank you for your comments. I know deep down I'm being ridiculous as they're a million times better than before!! The scars are better than I was expecting and so far (fingers crossed it stays that way) they've both dropped and are fluffing evenly which seems rare as I've seen loads of reviews where one tends to ride higher for a long time, so I'm super lucky so far.
I am far too critical of myself and my looks, I think a lot of it is psychological as everyone tells me how great they look, I do think in my head is the issue not the boobs are too small but the rest of me is too big?! It's madness I know!
I also know that my surgeon fitted the biggest he could whilst keeping me in proportion which I'm hugely grateful for. I'm glad I got a surgeon who is about creating a more natural look rather than just shoving anything in there to keep his patients happy and ending up with bad results. I cannot and would not fault him in anyway as he's absolutely amazing at what he does. I'd highly recommend him infact. I know the issue is in my own head and is not down to him at all.
I think it also stems from me losing lots of sensation at the moment, I'm grateful to not be in any pain but it's weird having these things and barely being able to feel them!! I know it sounds crazy but it almost goes through me to touch them, I'm hoping that fades and eventually passes over time.
I also agree with you that I had I gone any bigger I'd probably have felt just as self conscious still. I personally don't like that barbie stuck on beach ball look (but each to their own) and I've also noticed on friends I know that when they go too big (in my opinion - I wouldn't tell them though) that it makes them suddenly look really broad and top heavy, I don't feel this has happened to me (fingers crossed).
I'll brave getting measured up some point in the next week and update my details, people keep telling me I'll probably be surprised. To be honest I think it'll make a difference when I'm trying bras on ill suddenly feel better in myself. Let's face it there's nothing sexy about sports bras is there and after been stuck in one 5 weeks it'll be a welcome relief to wear something pretty!! Also it sounds like madness but because I was so flat chested before as long as it was triple gel (lol) I wasn't too fussy bout bras cus I had nothing to fill them anyway. Now I've got these beautiful boobs and dunno what to do with them, I've no idea what styles suit me or anything! So hopefully I'll conquer my fear of being measured up and enjoy the experience of buying new bras!!
I'll keep you updated and thank you again it's so nice to talk to girls who understand. X

I think you look great - very natural, not at all fake. I'm still in the researching phase, planning to have my surgery in September. I would love for my results to look as good as yours!
June 5, 2016
Hiya chick, aww thank you so much for your lovely comment, it honestly means so much to me.
By no means would I ever want to put anyone off going ahead with surgery just to simply give it plenty of thought.
I had been wanting boobs since I was 14 and everyone else seemed to growing except me! I never wanted to be in any debt though so put it off for years and years as I also dislike the completely fake look where it's blatantly obvious if you know what I mean? But at 29 (30 in sept) I thought sod it I deserve to do something for myself, I saved up £1000 and paid that off then had the remaining £2990 on finance over 3 years. The interest was actually much better than I thought and if I ever want to pay more off I can do and get it paid sooner, which is fab! I booked a consultation which www much quicker than I expected (I emailed the company on a Friday and got a phone call on Saturday that I could go in Monday). I then tried on sizers (didn't understand a deal just got swept up in the excitement), paid £500 there and then and booked apmt with my surgeon which was only another week and half away so again much quicker than I expected! They managed to get me booked in for surgery on 30th April which was about 6 weeks from my initial consultation. I was expecting to be waiting at least 6 months or something but just wanted it booked before I had time to talk myself out of it!!
My surgeon dr mahadev is wonderful and I cannot fault him or his work, he did as we discussed and fitted the biggest he could whilst maintaining a more natural look. My scars are clean and tidy and healing well and so far both boobs have dropped and are fluffing evenly. He listened to me and comforted me through out the process making me feel completely at ease. So I would hate for anyone to think bad of him just because of my own daft insecurities.
I think I'm overly critical of my body and I can find faults with anything I've got amazing boobs now but I still tell myself they're not big enough which is rubbish really as they're ace and a billion times better than before! It's because in my head I see the rest of me as being fatter than I probably am if that makes sense?! I need to work on overcoming my insecurities.
I am going to conquer the fear of getting measured up at some point this week, I'm hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised but I'll let you know.
Good luck and all the best and please keep in touch [RS bleep]

More pics at 5 weeks
Hey girls, I'm 5 weeks post op and just 1 week away from being able to wear pretty bras or even go bra less for the first time in my life!!
If you've followed my review you'll see I've had a wobbly week full of insecurities, but thanks to some beautiful followers (thank you girlies) I'm beginning to feel better in myself and appreciate my results!!
So I thought I'd post some pics at week 5 so you can see some progress! I have been alittle naughty over the past couple of days and slept braless (1 week early but the sports bras are really driving me mad now) and slept better for letting them breathe!
I am thinking the more I look at photos the better they look and I'm just being overly critical of my body thinking they should be bigger cus I'm not as slim as I once was!
I've included pics of the scars and again I must admit I've not been massaging and creaming them all that often as I'm squeamish but would appreciate any advice on decent creams to use to diminish the scars?? I've just been applying pure aloe gel and coconut butter at present as I'm all for natural remedies where possible. They're still pretty visible but I guess it's early days?! They are clean and tidy though!
Keep me posted on your updates too love to read all your stories xxxx

I was just like you I initially wanted to aim for a D then I decided I wanted to aim for DD ideally but as plastic surgeons have prob told you they don't work in cup sizes they work in cc's so it's sort of waiting game really. I wear either a 32D sports bra or 34C I'm generally a 32 but initially when scars were healing and itching I found the 34 comfier round the band but the 32D fits better if that makes sense? I'm going to get measured up soon as in another 2 weeks I'll be free of the sports bras wahoo...can you tell I'm excited?!
I have always been super self conscious so I think in a way I'm just paranoid over the size, all my friends reassure me they're perfect for my figure and actually quite big.
I weigh around 8 stone 7-9lbs it fluctuates and wear size 8 clothes. I'm hoping when I get measured up I'll be a D but I reckon more likely going to end up a C which is ok I guess!
I'll keep posting pics and updates. I'm just over 4 weeks and have days they feel completely normal like I've always had them, days my nipples are really sore, days they feel weird can't describe it and days one feels sore and other doesn't, but I read that's all normal!!
I've no regrets about having the surgery and I hope I'll feel better not worse after ive been sized but I'll let you know!
Go with whichever company and surgeon makes you feel the most comfortable, listens to you and explains everything clearly. X
Don't worry about the bra cup size. It varies with different manufacturers anyway. No one walks around with a measuring tape and it would be weird, if they did.
Your breasts will continue to look even better over the next couple of months. They're looking really good after only 28 days.
Thank you for your kind comments, I agree so far they're looking good especially after a pretty short space of time! I think it's my own insecurities that make me think they could do with being bigger as everyone tells me they're perfectly in proportion which is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I just need to find some self belief!
