ORIGINAL POST
Hi everyone, have decided to write this review...
WORTH IT$6,000
Hi everyone, have decided to write this review after really appreciating reading those of others! I have always felt self conscious of my small breasts and loved the fullness of them when i breast fed! Of course after breast feeding they were left pretty deflated and with more nipple than boob!! A close friend had this procedure last year and seeing the impact on her confidence and happiness with the results really inspired me to take the plunge ???? i have been very up and down since making that decision -sometimes dreading things going wrong, guilty about spending the money etc but other times feeling really excited! So i actually went ahead and did it and am typing this on my hospital bed! I am sore and tired but very happy with the care ive recieved and from what i can tell the results too! I had the anatomical 410 soft touch MM (medium profile and width i think!) Anatomical implant 12cm bwd to fit in my 13cm bwd breast - it was placed dual plane due to thin skin on my chest. The tape i have on is disoting them a little but my surgeon feels it hepls hold them in place whilst they settle. He said he was very pleased with how the operation went and the look and size of the implant. Apparently the next size up wouldnt have fit and the smaller size would have not filled the space as well. One of the nicest things is my nipples look much more like my pre breastfeeding days ???? obviously it is very early days (in fact day two!) So i know to expect lots of changes. I'll try to keep updating if other women seem to be finding my story helpful. Feeling quite sore but drains are out and pain meds are helping. Hope this review is useful and good luck to everyone else out there going through the same!

Filling a bra!!
Just a quick one of the girls in a sports bra - this one is a 34D which i got to allow for swelling and it fits snuggly.
Just am update on recovery im finding the pain meds of paracetomol and codine good at taking the edge off - always a background feeling of discomfort and tenderness but very manageable. Sleeping a lot and drinking lots of water -just trying to take it easy and let my body heal.

Thank you! Early days and know they're still swollen but im happy. Just trying to take things easy but the pain isn't as bad as i'd feared!
October 23, 2016
Congratulations on your surgery! Be kind to yourself and get lots of rest. Your results look beautiful already!
October 23, 2016
I think your results look lovely and natural so nice to be at the other side of surgery isn't it
October 23, 2016
Thank you so much! Yes, so nice to be on the other side. MOST of the worrying is gone now. ;)
October 23, 2016
Yep me too.. excited to see the changes over the next few months...how many days since your op now?

I am! I actually really like how they look now and don't want them to settle much more! I feel that I'm in the minority here. ;)
October 23, 2016
(Again only posts the first part of my comment!!) Anway was going to say - me too! Already happy with the shape and size just want them to soften up now...
October 23, 2016
Oh it's so nice to meet someone in the same boat! Softening with minimal dropping would be ideal! Let's keep in touch. :)
October 23, 2016
Will do! Fingers crossed for us both...just settling down for night 2 post surgery hope its less rough than last night!
October 23, 2016
It should continue to get better, day by day. Rest is the most important thing. Sending you positive thoughts and lots of healing energy!
October 25, 2016
Congratulations! Take it easy while you drop and fluff over the next several weeks. Feel free to join the October 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some post op support!

How you feeling? I had 420cc moderate,overs on 21st oct. my before pic is similar to yours as I breast fed two children also.
I'm getting more pain in one breast underneath than the other. Starting to feel more human though. Morning boob is the worst! Are you happy with your results?
I've felt all different emotions at the mo. x

Hi there...just woken up to some 'morning boob' -generally the pain hasn't been as bad as i'd feared and not much difference between the boobs. I went 'dual plane' so the top of part of my chest where the implant is under the muscle probably feels the most tender. So far im happy with my results but its hard to tell with the dressings and sticky strap still in place...i get these off on saturday so will get a better sense of what they look like then i think. Are you pleased with yours? I havent seen your profile yet but will have a look after writing this
October 26, 2016
I've heard of dual plane but not sure what it actually means?
Glad your healing well and not too much discomfort. X

Hi there - i think it basically means partially under the muscle so just the top part of the implant has muscle over it to disguise the edge of the implant if the skin is too thin (which mine is) when people talk about under the muscle i think this is the same as dual plane in most cases. Your results look lovelg btw. Are you getting really sleepy? I keep sleeping for hours during the day which is really unlike me!
October 26, 2016
Ah Thankyou for that info. Make sense.
Yes it's crazy how tired I am through the day, probably as I'm not getting as much sleep as I probably feel I am through the night due to sleeping slightly upright.
When walking around in the home in really takes it out of me and find myself falling asleep. X

How are you doing today? Im finding things a lot easier now no pain meds and went into work for a bit..are you loving your new additions?
October 28, 2016
Hello :) glad you are feeling good.
Today I get my dressing changed and get to see the incisions. Hope they look neat.
I took paracetamol yesterday morning but nothing since. In the mornings I feel slot of pressure but now only a few twinges through the day. Every days getting easier now!
Still not sure if I'm happy or not lol, I think from today they are allowed out an hour a day so I will constantly look at them and decide lol. Are you happy? X

Yeah i am i think! I love the look of them -the size and shape is just what i hoped for but they still feel quite alien and tight if that makes sense! They definately feel softer during the day but hard at night?! Its such a change isn't it! Im sure we will both love them once we get to wear dress them up and ditch all those uncomfortable padded bras!! Hope today is a good one :)

Removed photos after worry over security but totally unfounded and just the medication making me paranoid! I know seeing photos helped me so have put this one back on
