Wow what a few weeks. Thought I'd post an update and progress pic. It's been a roller coaster. Whilst my healing has been good I have struggled with pain. Not so much boobs but my back and bowels!! Sleeping on my back has caused havoc with my back. Purchased a electric heat pad from Argos about 4 days in and that helped enormously. Still use it to sleep in 2 weeks po.
Ended up realising what an adverse affect codine has on my body and got very very badly constipated; as in 10 days not going constipated!!! Pain was horrendous and finally when I did manage to go I got serious anal fissures. Oh my word!!! Wish I'd known in advance so for anyone out there that may feel this is happening or are prone to this id recommend daily lactuose and eating foods that soften stools and drink lots of water. Not the greatest of topics but wow I wish I'd known as it really made me feel unwell.
My dressings were removed after a weeks and the nurse said my scars were healing really well.
I'm two weeks po now and I think things are settling. Swelling lasted a week to 9 days but that has now gone and things are looking slightly less high and pointy. I'm really pleased with the results so far. Mr Offer has done a great job. I had a few questions that I emailed to him and got a quick response too.
I'm still bloated around the belly area but I guess this will go as I resume a normal routine. Frustrating as many of my trousers are too tight to wear comfortably.
Anyway a few update pic from past few weeks

Hi, I had Graham Offer for breast augmentation too. I'm wondering how you are now several months on. I've had complications.

Here are a few pic. Some taken while I was changing my dressings. My prescribed meds have run out so using over the counter meds and boy don't I notice a difference.
It's strange but although I'm pleased with the result so far I feel quite down. I think it's the combination of not much sleep, discomfort and being at home alone so much. Like most of you my life is normally quite the opposite and I struggle to fit everything in. I have decelerated to 0 mile an hour and feel quite isolated.
Pain the right breast is minimal but the pain in the left breast is way stronger. I can't see anything of concern so assume it's the muscles and nerves coming to terms with the implant. My scars looked good under the dressing. Going back to the hospital on Friday for a wound check so I will ask any questions about pain management etc then.
Most of all The two things I miss most are I want to:
1. Give my son and partner proper big strong hugs
2. Lay in a normal bed on my side
3. Play with my two labradoodles properly. They are like two coiled springs right now.

Hello,
Just saying hello and to say how good you look for four days post. It is a roller coaster of a ride emotionally, I had a ba back in Feb and felt wonderful at first I think I was so surprised how good I felt, so much better than I had prepared myself for and then days later I'd be in tears. Sleep was the thing for me, I felt exhausted, not sleeping and only cat naps took its toll but it does get better I promise you.
Day by day things improve, rest though is essential in the early days, I had three weeks of work in all, I'd booked two but then thought sod it ill have another week off and by the third week was happy and felt I wanted to go back. I know some girls went back to work or did too much too soon and regretted it so try to make the most of this me time. I got so involved in the tv soaps and dramas on it was great.
Take care and keep in touch X

Thank you so much for your comment. It boosted my mood massively. I have read your threads and can echo so much of it. I have even just gone on line to order the bras you recommended early on. I went for a walk today in the sunshine (without the crazy doodles) and felt so much better. So much so; I probably overdid it when I got home so resting now. But felt much better for it. It's strange how we all take basic things so for granted. Anyway your pics look amazing. You got a great result from your cc. One of the best I have seen. You must be so so pleased. I'll look at your other threads for more tips. U.K. Based reviews are more rare so often the things recommended are state side. I had one week off work annual leave but the consultant gave me a note for two weeks so after much deliberation I'm going to use it. Not had a day off sick in 9 years so keep telling myself it's not that bad. I'll see how I feel after 2 weeks. Thanks again for your post X

Take the time off if you can, a couple of the ladies who had their ba the same day as me went back to work and also I think did too much and had complications which still arnt a 100% right . Sometimes I think you feel good and want to say to the world here I am but you body's not ready yet. I too have five ridgebacks and so missed our walks but it was so good when we finally went out over the fields and walked like we used to. Your right we take so much for granted, I love my sleep and so missed sleeping on my side and belly but it does come and you will feel so good. The bras I ordered especially the white ones are plain but so comfy that I still wear them at night now. Not that I have too but have just got used to wearing them and they at a later date make a super sleep bra if you like wearing bras to bed. I did buy the Macom anatomical bra and to be honest didn't get on that well with it I found these white and pink ones so comfy but it was trial and error and I also wasted a lot of money on bras I couldn't wear. one piece of advice I would give you is do what your surgeon says and don't take much notice of any other advice on this site. All the surgeons seem to advise different things I for example had anatomical implants, wore a plain support bra from day one, others with anatomical implants have been told not to wear a bra etc etc so just do what he tells you. One thing which you can do which won't harm or affect anything is if you can get someone to massage your back with oil. I so found this helped, it was so comforting and shifted some of the water retention from swelling especially around the area behind where the drains were, there must be lymph glands or something horizontal with where the drain sites were, I had a small amount of swelling around the back and the massage, just with me sitting up really helped. Thank you for your kind words re my ba, I too have had days up and down, it's normal. You look so great early on your going to be one of these ladies to sail through this and look amazing. Keep in touch and good luck on Friday x

Why are we so hard on ourselves? You do NOT have a tree trunk waist. You look amazing! Being alone at home after surgery is no fun. The drugs and aneastesia ( sp?) will mess with your emotions. I think you look great. I thought you looked great before your op too!!! Congrats on your new boobs :)

Hi just wanted to say what an amazing job he has done.... I am going for my first consultation with Mr Offer next week, he has done previous surgery on me before but nothing as big as this.... how did you find the whole procedure with pain, doing everyday normal things at home ect and how long did you take off work? Congratulations on the new boobs x

Well I did it. Really pleased with result so Dari know they need to d&f so am being patient. Ended up with 420cc. Mr Offer tried 470cc but he said one side couldn't take the size and would have looked misshaped. I trust he made the right call for the best result. A bit dissapointed but respect he would go for what looks best. I'd rather that than main about a misshaped breast. He's done an awesome job for few days op. Will post some pics tomorrow. Pain had even difficult but I followed all instructions to the letter. Have found sleeping upright is the only option and have found sleeping overall really hard. Starting to get wetter today though. Also purchased a heat pad firmly back today. Is working wonders on back pain. I'll post pics tomorrow. Not been wearing bra as PS said ok not to. Have ordered a Macom bra. Hope it arrives soon.
You are very similar to me..
except you have gone for bigger implants.
your 14 day post op pic is amazing. . you must be so happy :)
I am on day 2 now, very swollen and can't move around much..
I too decided with the Nuffield. .
Yes.. great to read a review from the UK.
Well done honey x x
