26yr Old, Mastopexy Reduction, Implants Due in 6 Months - Nuffield, GB

WORTH IT$9,379
I had a mastopexy reduction just 12 days ago at a private hospital called The Nuffield in Exeter, Devon. My surgeon is amazing and I'm so happy with my lift that I am waiting 6 months to decide whether or not I would like implants. The implants used here are Nagor, manufactured in the UK with an excellent reputation. The total cost for both operations for me was £6410.
Usually it would cost £5042 for the lift and £4800 for the implants.
I was offered a reduced price to have a "mini-lift" and breast augmentation at the same but I decided I wanted two separate operations because I might be happy with the results of the lift and not want the implants as I have a good amount of breast tissue (a full C cup)
I am SO happy!
I am lacking in upper pole fullness which the implants would achieve because a well-fitting bra will only give me good cleavage but I've decided to give myself 6 months to decide whether or not I want the implants and my surgeon offered the reduced price still, which is incredible!
My reason for doing this is because I am only 25, I went from a UK clothes size 12 to size 16 and now I am size 10 and in weight I went from 9st 7lb to my heaviest at 14st 12lb to now being 9st 1lb and my breasts went from 34E pre-pregnancy and severe weight gain to a whopping 36GG to a droopy 32D / 32C but I had A LOT of excess skin.
I wish I had it done sooner! Don't wait! You will not regret it x
I will keep updating my journey and if I decide to have the implants I will of course tell you all about it ????

You look amazing! My surgery's next week and my current breasts look a bit like your before breasts. Hopefully, I'll get a similar result!
May 31, 2016
Aww thank you! I'm very happy with them in comparison to what they were like before. I had a mastopexy reduction with anchor incision. Good luck!

Congratulations on your successful surgery. Your results look great. I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress.

Thank you, I'm very happy. Yes of course :-) if I have implants in 6 months, would you recommend I update this post or create a new post for that journey? If I create another, is there anyway of linking the two?

Well done and thank you so much for sharing, your results are wonderful.

You're welcome and thank you! It's nice to read such lovely comments x

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing!! I have the same EXACT kind of boobies like you do!! I lost weight and gained weight and lost weight again due to a yoyo diet which caused loose skin :( one thing I need to ask though, I'm not at my ideal weight right now (I'd like to be around 10 Kgs smaller), do you think it is better to wait until I'm at my ideal weight? will the breasts sag if I lose weight after the lift? Thanks!
June 5, 2016
You're so welcome! It's crazy that prior to having my uplift, only 3 people have seen my breasts like that in 3 years! Now they are all over this site haha That's my concern also, for now I've been told not to lose or gain anymore than 4lb but I'm unsure if that just whilst I'm healing or not. Something I will definitely ask him because I'm going to Turkey next month and last year I lost 9lb whilst on holiday! I'm worried

I had nagor implants and have just had them removed they had both ruptured were leaking silicone into my body, my left breast had capsule contraction, if I could go back I would never have had them in. I've had a explant with a mastopexy and I'm so happy. Please before you have implants do your research on silicone poisoning and breast implant illness.
October 22, 2016
Oh my god. When did you have them in? Did you have to pay to have the explant and mastopexy after or was that done for free because the implants went wrong? I will research that now. Thank you

Hello, my name is Lesley I had my explant on 10 October 2016' I had my nagor implants for almost 12 years to the day. My surgeon told me that after explant he could see that they had ruptured and had been leaking for a very long time.
I was seeing a neurologist for pains in my neck, swollen lymph nodes, numbness in my arms and legs, hair loss, chest pain, I could go on and on. The neurologist after MRI scans, X-ray, mammograms, blood tests could find nothing wrong.
It was never picked up to associate all my neck pains my head lumps my depression with silicone leaking in my body.
It was only when I was told to look at silicone leakage and breast implant illness and to follow many people on the BBI site that I realised what was causing all my problems. I explanted on the 10th October 2016. The following day I noticed I could breathe, I could take deep breaths, I didn't have the pain in my left shoulder blade.
It's now 12 days after explant, I can brush my hair without feeling pain in my head and scalp, I have no more lumps and bumps on my head. I know I am on the up and up.
If you don't believe, read, read about Hugh heffners wife and what she suffered.
My daughter is 25 and wants a 'boob job' I have told her and she has seen what I have suffered from day one.
It's your choice, but do read all the contraindications before you go ahead.
You have perfect 'boobs' .. I am so happy now that they are gone.
Much love and best wishes honey

I also had to pay £5,780 to have the mastopexy but the removal was done on the NHS because of the effects to my health . I was originally quoted by a plastic surgeon for both surgeries it would be a total of £8,800 . I decided to do the NHS/private route. The only down side to this is the plastic surgeoun I used did not take out the capsule to the left implant, which I've now been told will still hold silicone.
October 22, 2016
Wow. Thank you for sharing. 12 years is a long time, do you know at which point they started leaking? Like, after how long? My surgeon has also said it's something I really need to think about which is why he has arranged another consult with me in Dec to be absolutely sure I want to go ahead. I need to do some more research. My boobs look so good in comparison to what I had before my mastopexy but I don't 'love' them and because they have dropped so much, I don't feel like they are what I had hoped them to be for the amount of money I've spent.
October 22, 2016
When I look back I started having problems of rejection right from the start, I suffered with numerous kidney infections, I started having pains in my neck and joints, never once associating it with implants. I was tested for MS, nothing shown, I was tested for chronic fatigue syndrome (M.E.) again no sound proof. Apparently as soon as you have implants put in your body, your body's own defences and immunity starts to fight off silicone and 'any' foreign body. As far back as the 12 years I now realise I was slowly being poisoned. I have had capsule contracture to the left breast for the past 8 years I do not and have not got valid proof of how long they have been leaking silicone but when I had them put in the PS told me they were the best and would last up to 15 years.
All I can say is research, natural is the safest.
Take care lovely [RS bleep]

"Mummy's boobies looks funny" says my darling 3yr old at a family BBQ

I haven't told everybody what I've had done. They know I've had skin removed but not from which body part. I want to avoid the stereotyping of "she had a boob job" because like many of you, this means a lot to me and was not done in vain.. people will eventually see when I have my implants because I will be slowly sharing my journey and people will notice a huge change in my personality. Besides, when you're paying this much, you're going to want to show them off! Here is my first boobie purchase; a bathing costume for my holiday to Turkey in July :-D

They look amazing!! I have been thinking of what to do if I just do the lift first too.
May 31, 2016
Thank you! I'm really pleased :-) if it's not too costly for you, I would recommend it. For me it worked out cheaper and allows me time to decide. One thing my surgeon said was if I have the one operation, a mastopexy augmentation, I would be restricted with the size of my implants. He said that inserting a large implant would defy the lift because one procedure is trying to tighten the skin and the other is stretching it. I can now have larger implants if I wish because I've separated the two and I'm allowing my skin to heal in its new position before adjusting it again. Hope this helps x

You don't need breast implants your breast look fantastic like that of an 18-year-old girl those huge boobs fake looking women don't look good and if you asked Selma Hayek more than likely if her boobs are real and you saw her without a bra or something else lifting them up they wouldn't be looking perky. The implant will weigh your breast tissue I eat the skin down and eventually you'll have to deal with surgeries to lift your boobs back up and revise your implants 10 years down the road. As it is now if you don't have anymore children to stretch your booby's out and you maintain your weight reasonably as you age your boobs are going to stay looking awesome into your old age!!!

I hate the fact that you cannot fix typos! I didn't mean eat the skin down , i mean ie. weigh your skin tissue down over time. As you get older less big breasts with a nice shape are less aging looking because most young women at the ages of 17-20 years old don't have big huge breasts unless they've had implants. When I was young I had a B-C cup breasts now that I'm older I have 38 double D's , yes at times it can be fun when you wear certain things that you can show off your cleavage but as I'm at the age that I don't particularly feel that unless I'm at the beach I'm not comfortable showing off that part of my body. I have to live day after day with the pitfalls of having a larger breasts. The pit falls like; heavy breast weight when you're lying down trying to sleep at night. When doing physical activities they can get in the way !!!uncomfortable bras, sweatiness particularly in the summertime. Try reading about breast implant revisions and see if that's where you want to be later on down the line. Very big breasts can be fun like a new toy or fancy, expensive car at first, but after a while when it's not so new and exciting anymore, will you still be glad ? Because I think that you look perfect right now. What does your husband think??

Seeing my incisions for the first time! 10 days Post-op

I'll be honest it wasn't a nice experience, changing my micropore tape, but if I want to heal well then it's something I must do every 3-5 days. So far I'm happy with my incisions but I have been advised that they will darken as they heal :-( hopefully not too much!

You're healing nicely! I hope to get results like you as I have similar shaped breasts as yours pre-op :p Be diligent with your incision care and keep up the good work!
June 1, 2016
Ah thank you! I've just now changed the tape and updated my review with photos of my incisions which seem to be healing well. I'm so pleased with my results so far. Good luck to you! I will look out for your review. You honestly won't regret it! X
