22yo, 30J Hoping to Be a DD

So I just received my before and after photos from my surgeon and honestly I don’t think there’s been a defining moment quite like this where I’ve been 100% completely and utterly astounded and in love with my new chest.
The difference to my entire body is unbelievable. I really didn’t even realise quite how large they were before. Just having that weight taken away means that I’ve been able to move - and clearly I’m a lot healthier now.
If you’re thinking of having this procedure done, don’t let anything stop you. I can now 10000% say that this is the best decision I ever made!

Hello! I just had my 6 month follow up and I thought I’d share my final(ish) results with you all! If my boobs do change at all in the future I’ll be sure to update but as it stands I guess they’re basically the end product now - it’s crazy to think that 1 year ago I had a completely different body!
There’s not much to update on really, my scars are improving bit by bit, the shape is still great, my nipples have feeling and get erect (sometimes completely at random!) and my final size is somewhere between a UK DD/E, but it depends on the band size and the brand and how I’m feeling.
It’s safe to say that my life has changed in ways I didn’t even know were possible, and I’m 100% confident that I made the right choice in having the procedure, and I would like to reiterate that my surgeon has been consistently excellent. He regularly made me feel welcome, was caring when things didn’t go to plan (hello breast biopsy I’m looking at you) and sensitive to my needs and concerns (EMLA cream for my fear of cannulation, understanding approach when I said I still feel quite large chested) without ever being pushy. This is one of the most important things, I think, when you’re ‘shopping around’ so to speak - that your consultant isn’t just giving you a sales pitch and trying to get you to give them your money. I would have no qualms about recommending any of my friends to Mr Hurren and no complaints whatsoever about the care I received from him.
I’m so happy with my results, with my life, and although yeah I do have moments where I still feel large chested, i look at my before and afters and I just can’t believe the difference.

Every time I check in here and see my previous reviews I’m so grateful that I wrote them, because reading about my progress is one of the most affirming things.
Well, it’s month five and things are continuing to go well. I have regained feeling in my nipples (maybe a little too much feeling in my left so far - it’s sensitivity means it can be a little painful to touch sometimes) and definitely have been on the receiving end of some zingers!
My scarring is continuing to improve and my breasts are keeping their shape nicely. Just a disclaimer - I haven’t done ANYTHING for my scarring - no oil, no silicone strips, no gels, not even moisturiser. It just never made its way into my routine and I’m not really bothered about the scarring at all. There is just a small patch under one of my nipples that is a little bit wider than the rest of the scars (I think it suffered a bit when I had my reaction to the dressing), but even that doesn’t bother me much.
I’m very pleased with the shape and the perkiness - I did that test where you put a pencil under your breast and see if it stays there the other day. For the first time in my life it didn’t! I finally feel like my breasts belong to my body.
That said, I’m still trying to come to terms with how I perceive myself. I’ve lost some weight since I started work (about 8lbs) and per my suspicions, my breasts have not shrunk at all. It has been hard to feel like I’ve still got large breasts when I compare myself to others, but the times I look at my breasts and like them is becoming more and more frequent.
In terms of sizing, I went and got fitted in Debenhams, and they measured me as a 32E. It was a bit disappointing, so I’m still wearing 34DD bras because they’re easier to find and I don’t need the support of a tighter back.
Overall though, I think my results are great, my surgeon has done a fantastic job and I keep finding new ways my life has changed for the better because I made the decision to take this leap.
