34 Years Old, 480 Cc UHP Textured Silicone Implants, Scared and Excited, Lost 6 Stone and Ready for a New Me! - Kent, GB

Hi ladies, so I'm the other side and wow the surgeon and hospital were just amazing. I was first down so not much waiting around and he ended up going to 480 ultra high profile under the muscle and said there really was no room for any bigger, it was quite a stretch to go that big. I came around after an hour and a half of surgery apparently and my husband was waiting for me, I barely remember seeing him before he had to go and do school and nursery pick ups bless him! I had hardly any pain just discomfort but manageable and slept on and off until the next day! I got out of surgery at 5.30pm and was on and off through the night until 6am. Had pain medicine throughout the night but feel as though I would have been ok without it. Checked out the next morning and was told I have to wear a tight sports bra and this instrument of torture... The band! .... As tight as I can bare it around my boobs at the top to press them down as much as possible and help them drop. Day and night for 7 days... I can't tell you the relief when I take this band off! It's killer! But as my husband keeps saying, they are an investment! Do what the doc says and you'll get the best result... So I'm keeping up with all pain mess, ibuprofen, paracetamol and codeine.... Laying is honestly the only way I'm comfortable.... Does anyone else feel like they can't breath very well standing up?! I think it's the band.... But laying down takes the pressure off as standing just feels so tight and heavy and a little sore.... So have spent all day in bed today. Officially day 2.... When do you start to feel normal again!? I thought.. Hoped I'd feel a bit better today but actually feel a little worse... Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. I have taken a couple of pics straight after surgery, yesterday and again today... Think there's little change but have to say, I am loving having boobs... Every time I look down I'm so happy and it takes away the discomfort for a moment! Can't wait to see the end result... Post op appointment is in 5 days... Hoping to end up a DD but not sure... My sports bra is a 34 D and seems to fit ok... Will keep you posted tomorrow on progress.... Oh has anyone had pain down the centre of your breasts? Your sternum area? That's where it's actually most sensitive.... But my boobs were quite far apart and think it's pressure of going under the muscle... Hoping this dies down tomorrow a bit. Went on scales and have gone up from 128 pounds to 132 pounds since surgery and hardly eaten... It's true the bloat is unreal! But on laxatives which are helping.

I woke up so early this morning after more dreams of boobies gone bad! i just hope it all works out ok... worried about my recovery allot as I am such an active person with 2 kiddies and addicted to hoovering! so need to begin getting my head around not doing allot for the next couple of weeks. I am due on my period the day of surgery... worst timing ever! and need to go out tomorrow to get all of my last bits in prep for surgery. I only have standard sports bras (brought a large as wasn't sure what would fit!) to wear in the weeks/days after surgery, is this ok do you think? Thanks ladies! x

Very excited and also equally scared to finally be getting new boobs. I have not been a fan of my reflection for as long as I can remember... I have always battled with my weight and been teased about my size and the way I look by both strangers and people I love... so I made a change and lost 6 stone... worked my butt off with moving more and eating clean and now am a little more comfortable with what I see in the mirror but my boobs... no weights, cardio or clean eating can help. I get changed in the dark and run past mirrors so as not to see my horrible deflated chest... so i have never been more ready for this! Feel as though it has been 20 years in the waiting. I am set to go in this Thursday and have been told i have very little breast tissue and over developed muscle in my chest so under the muscle is really the only way... and 425-480cc has been the suggested size to give me a nice size but still a little natural. I am like other mums trying to get my entire life in order to be able to go in on Thursday and not worry to much about work, and cleaning etc! fortunately I have an amazing husband who can look after the kiddies whilst i heal. I have a week of work and am hoping for a speedy recovery... here's hoping! [RS bleep]
