Hello everyone, After many years of being small...
Hello everyone,
After many years of being small chested I have braved it and decided to get a boob job.
I've found this site incredibly helpful and will post everything I have stressed about, gotten information on and hopefully help a lot of you by sharing my experience. I've thought about getting this proceedure done for many years now and decided to take the plunge.
Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Consultation
So I went to my consultation with Dr Davood Fallahdar from the Private Clinic in London. I had done a lot of research about what would happen at this consultation. He measured both boobs and I discovered one was smaller than the other and my nipples were not symmetrical. He asked what desired results I wanted to achieve and I stated I wanted to be filled out and be more proportionate. I am a UK size 6 so quite small.
First he got me to try on 260cc in the sports bra which I felt was too small. Next, we tried on 300cc and I thought this was absolutely perfect for my frame. He gave me 325cc for my right and 300cc for my left to even them out. I put these in and he assessed my frame from the side and said it looked great. I asked if there was any way to go bigger and he said that if I did the implants would show on the sides because it literally wouldn’t sit in my frame.
Before this he asked if I knew what sort of profile implants I wanted and I said I didn’t mind which sort as long as it fit properly and looked good. He chose the high profile ones due to the fact I wanted more of a “lift” on my chest instead of going for something more like the teardrop style. The high profile ones are actually the best for my frame overall as the medium profile implants are too wide and wouldn’t sit as nicely.
I was happy with my choice of implant and the size.
I’ve done a lot of reading about “which size ccs to get x bra size” but at the end of the day it isn’t about this. Everyone has a different body. There is no point in comparing.
I am currently a 32A.
I then went to one of the coordinators who is really lovely, Becki, she gave me the price and stated when I could possibly have the operation if I wanted to go ahead. She said there *might* be a possibility of getting it done in just under 3 weeks if I was interested. Otherwise end of August or October. I said I would be incredibly interested in just under 3 weeks.....
The next day I got a phone call from her stating that date was available and if I wanted it I would have to decide. Given that I had only just decided to get the consultation done this was ridiculously overwhelming for me. I thought about it for a good hour. Moved money from my savings.
Sat again for some more time....and then decided "HELL YES".
I am now booked in for the 21st of July 2014.

1 week to go....
So time to get serious. I have found this is a difficult time. I've had to buy my own post op bra which I've been advised to purchase at M&S. I've done this in two different sizes as recommended by my coordinator 32D and 34C. 32D!!!!! Exciting! I am worried however that they may not fit.
They are literally "Extra high support" non-wired sports bras. Previously, I had purchased a "post op" bra and was told this is incorrect as the "shock absorber" bras are preferred (they strap everything in I guess).
1 week to go - what I am doing:
• Taking Arnica starting Monday (to help with the bruising). I have ummed and ahhed at whether or not to take this and have decided to go ahead. There are so many conflicting things about it but I do like taking herbal/natural remedies so will give this a go.
• Exercising 3 times a week as per usual
• Not drinking any alcohol or smoking!
• I have ordered groceries to come on the weekend so that I am sorted after surgery
• Asked the boyfriend to take a day or two off work
• Doing as much laundry as possible
• Cleaning the house
• I’ve been applying Bio Oil for the last week and will continue to do this to hopefully reduce any stretch marks I may encounter
Items I’ve purchased for post op comfort:
• Arnica
• V Neck pillow
• Arnica gel for bruises
• Ice pack
• Heat pack (for back only)
• Post op bras
• Groceries; includes jello, ginger ale, water, crackers, chicken, tuna, pineapple juice (good for healing) etc.
Is there anything else that you would suggest I get so I am comfortable post-surgery? Or anything I should be doing the week before my surgery that is not on the list above?
Thanks!
