So my story. I am 33 with 2 kids, height 5'11" weight around 9st (give or take a few pounds) current bra size is about 32aa ???? I live in Manchester England.
I have wanted this procedure since my teens. I have always been flat chested and it has caused many insecurities, everything from clothes shopping, swimming with my kids and sex is affected by my lack of self confidence, so now at 33 and after having 2 kids I have decided to go for it. I met with my surgeon Dr. James Murphy in April and instantly knew I would like him to perform my surgery, he made me feel so comfortable about my choice to go ahead with surgery and I felt like he really understands what I want to achieve (in fact I think he may know better than me what I want to achieve haha). So at my initial consultation we had a chat about my life how I feel and how I want to look, Mr Murphy then did a quick simulation using his 3D imaging equipment of what type of results 1 type of implant could give, it was amazing and I left his office on a real high but made no commitments.
The next day I had a consultation with a patient coordinator at MYA in Manchester. The PC was lovely but MYA just didn't feel right for me and I would have to travel (albeit not too far) out of Manchester for my surgery, I left the MYA consult and phoned DR. Murphy's secretary back and said book me in I'm doing it haha. My surgery is booked for June 23rd and my pre-op is May 31st, I haven't had to pay any sort of deposit just ensure the balance is paid 1 week before the op. I will be staying overnight as DR. Murphy likes to know you are resting and check you in the morning and he will also be providing me with 2 bras post op.
To say I am ridiculously excited would be an understatement. I can't wait to have my pre-op and look at more sizes and simulations. Xx

Yay! How exciting. I'm in with him on 26th may. I'm really tall too and he was definitely the most understanding surgeon I met with in terms of what implants to use to be in proportion to my chest width etc and didn't want to just shove the biggest implant he could in like another one I went to. I'll let you know how I get on x

Yeah definitely stay in touch. What cc and shape are you going. Xx

Anatomical and between 475 and 595. I'm getting giddy about it now, breastfeeding left me with saggy old aa's :/

I can't wait for my appointment on the 31st and to look at sizes. I'm an aa but they haven't sagged or anything cos even when pregnant they just didn't grow haha. I've only got a 13cm breast width so I think anatomical and maybe a higher profile will let me have an implant around the 400 mark. I could be completely wrong though haha. I am completely boob obsessed at the minute I think my husband is sick of looking at boobs haha x

You will not be disappointed. James did my surgery (a year ago today actually!) - and I've never regretted it. I had a full abdominoplasty, having had this awful stomach for so many years. Even though I waited for so long for it, the difference it has made is amazing. He is an amazing surgeon - you will be thrilled with your results. Good luck.

I honestly can't explain how excited I am. June 23rd can not come fast enough. James did my friends BA before I knew her and if she hadn't have told me she had surgery I would never have guessed, that is what prompted me to book my consultation. I looked for reviews before my consultation and the first few that popped up were really bad (this site didn't come up) but I decided to disregard them and go anyway, I'm so happy I did I honestly don't think I could have met a nicer surgeon. Then I found this site and it has just reinforced my feeling that I have definitely chosen the right man. Xx

May 17, 2016

Definitely haha. I'm thinking a tear drop high profile 450cc but gotta see what surgeon says. I'm very slim but I am very tall which surgeon said works in my favour for carrying a larger size off. I think 450 would be the biggest I could go cos of how slim I am. Xx

I've been out of surgery an hour. I LOVE them already

What cc and profile did you have and how are you feeling. So happy you love them. Xx
May 26, 2016
I ended up with 530 in one and 475 in the other. Anatomical high profile I think but not 100%. Got the nurse to take some photos I couldn't wait to see them, plus the surgical bras are dead pretty!!

Hiya! I'm looking to book in with James Murphy, just waiting for my second consultation however as I have asymmetry and need an uplift I really want to make sure I have great aftercare in case I don't get the results I want as I have a lot to correct! James emailed me and said he offers 12 months cover and doesn't cover for Capsular contracture if you have natrelle implants however he offers other implants (he didn't say the name) that do have CC cover.... I'm really wary of spending £150 on my next consultation if he only offers 12 months aftercare as this doesn't seem much at all! Do you mind telling me what aftercare package you have received with him / spire? A girl I know went to Newcastle Spire and she has lifetime aftercare with her surgeon :/ thanks in advance for any help :) X

So I had my surgery on Thursday 23rd June. The whole experience has been amazing. I turned up at the hospital at 0645 and was shown to my room. My nurse came in to do some obsessed and measure me for my stockings just after 7. Mr murphy came to see me around 8ish and explained there was a very slight delay and I would likely be taken to theatre around 10 rather than half 9. I then had a massive drama when I realised I'd come to the hospital and brought the car keys with me leaving my husband stuck at home with no key....oops. Anyway shortly after Mr murphy had been and drawn on me the anaesthetist came to see me and went through some questions and explained what would happen when I got to theatre. Finally one of the catering staff came and tool my food orders for after surgery, tea and breakfast, it was more like a hotel than a hospital. I relaxed in my room and at 0930 my nurse said they were ready for me. We walked to theatre and chatted all the way I can't actually remember what about as I was so excited, I felt so comfortable and safe though that I had no nerves whatsoever. I got to theatre and was asleep before I knew it. Next thing I know now I am waking up in recovery feeling so good I wondered if the op had actually been done my only side effect from the anaesthetic was feeling cold and shivering but that was soon sorted with a plastic blankets that had warm air blowing through it. Soon enough I was back in my room and eating some amazing food. The nurses came and checked my observations every half hour or so and couldn't do enough to help me. My friend came to get the car keys off me for the husband so that drama was sorted haha. In the afternoon Mr murphy came to check how I was doing. I spent the rest of that day just relaxing and watching TV. I slept really well and had no discomfort. The next morning Mr murphy came to see how I was doing and so did the anaesthetist they both said I was doing really well. Mr murphys nurse jack came and arranged my 1 week post op appointment and gave me a spare bra. I was given my pain killers and discharged. I've now been home 3 days I've had no pain just a slight ache across my chest, nevertheless my husband has done everything for me, I almost feel like a fraud though because I really do feel fine haha, I've had no issues sleeping either. I am absolutely over the moon with my new boobs I really do think once they are settled they will look absolutely perfect on my frame and I know I made the perfect choice in booking my surgery with Mr murphy, him and everyone else who looked after me have been absolutely amazing and I really can't thank them enough.
