I've been on this site nearly every day since February, it's now August and I'm due to have my BA in 3 days time! I've been really excited and just want to get on on with the surgery, but now it's so close I'm more apprehensive….I guess it's because it's only a few days away and close to becoming reality. I thought it's about time I did a pre op post on here with photos to record my journey else I'll never do it. Thanks to everyone on here who has unknowingly helped me so much over the last few months to understand whats involved and what to expect/be aware of. I'm happy I did loads of research (hopefully enough!) and consulted with 3 great plastic surgeons recommended to me by friends who have first hand experience. My PS is obvs fully qualified - MB ChB, FRCS, MD, FRCS(Plast) and has been doing BA's for years. I'm just hoping my boobs and my body will react and recover really well to whats about to happen to it! I asked them loads of questions, firstly did I need a lift? Fortunately, although my boobs are quite saggy they all said I would be ok to just have implants. My ps also has a pivot table so he will sit me up during the op to check how the implants look before gluing the incision. I'm having mod plus, Mentor textured (fine 'imprint' texture as I was worried about ALCL - according to my ps most cases of ALCL have been with very rough salt loss texturing)
After breast feeding my 3 kids my boobs feel so empty, look lifeless & deflated. There's nothing I can do to make them bigger apart from implants and I'm really looking forward to having fullness back in them again. I keep wondering if I should have high profile but i'm worried about the projection as I'm quite slim so I'm sticking with mod +. I don't know if it's the right decision but it's the one I've made. I currently wear a C cup but I'm only a B cup, I just like the shape a C cup gives me even though the bra is half empty! I've attached some photos. Initially I only wants 250cc but my ps said it wouldn't give me the look I want so I had to go at least 300cc. I'm now booked in for 325…just hoping everything will be ok and they look great!

Good luck on your surgery. You definitely will have more fullness but don't expect them to be on the larger side or have a lot of projection. I had my first BA 13 years ago in my early 30's and after having 3 kids and breast feeding my breast were really sad looking. I always wanted to have large full breast (which I never had to begin with) I tried on sizers and brought in some wish pics of what I wanted unfortunately the PS didn't do what I wanted and instead put in implants that he thought went with my body frame. That was actually his explanation when I complained about the size not being what I wanted, and he also said well at least they are bigger than what had. I was shocked. He implanted 350cc mentor mod profile silicone under the muscle. I ended up being a large 34C. I was never happy with the size because it wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to be a large 34D to 34DD. They did look very natural but they never looked like Wow she has really nice boobs. I am 5'4" and 140 pounds I do have broad shoulders and large hips which may have contributed for my breast looking small on me. Just make sure the surgeon knows exactly what you want.

Good luck with your surgery! It's completely normal to be feeling nervous; I nearly walked out the day of my surgery! My breasts were somewhat similar to yours and I would suggest a higher profile and a bit of a larger implant if your surgeon gives you the option, but that is just my opinion. Ultimately you have done the research and know what you like on your body, so there's no need to listen to me :) Again, best of luck and we are all here to help if you need anything :)

It's done! Today is Day 1and I'm still in hospital, staff have been great looking after me. I'm on antibiotics to prevent infection and just paracetamol today. When I came round yesterday it was very painful so they gave me tramadol and the pain went straightaway. I didn't have the op til 3pm so had hours of waiting but didn't mind with the tv and a book, it was quite relaxing really! I couldn't eat or drink though. I was sick last night after eating too many grapes but this morning I feel much better and have eaten prunes (desperate not to get constipated) toast and porridge. Moving around to go the loo is a bit uncomfortable, I'm a bit scared of it hurting so really taking my time. Had a peak at new boobies under the gown and they look big on the side so hoping that's swelling which will go down. They look full so I've tried the shirt on I arrived in and it fits so I'm happy so far but I've got weeks of recovery to go yet....
