Had a very successful 2nd consult with a surgeon locally who has made me feel very excited about finally getting my boobs done. Now I'm awake every night thinking sizes and shape!!
I have a prominent chest bone, lack of upper pole fullness and a wide cleavage. Currently a 32b/c hoping for a D.
I have been told I can go no more than 270cc round overs. Anatomical will lay funny on my uneven chest wall and any bigger than 270 will
Also emphasise this. I have added pics of my current situation.
I tried on the sizers and 270cc felt very Comfortable now just worried what look they will give me!
The doc I consulted with was Mr Barabas at My Breast.
My measurements...
Sternum to nipple - 13
Nipple to IMF - 7
Base width - 13.5
Areola - 4
Upper pole pinch 2.5
Anterior pull 2

It's quite common to lay awake thinking about boobs. You've come to the right place! Glad your research is going well. Looking forward to following your journey!

Hello, just came across your review. I had 270cc overs on 9 Feb. Similar stats to you. I was a 32 dd straight after op and have now settled at 32 d. Good luck with your surgery x
March 7, 2016
Aw Thankyou that's really reassuring. How have you got on? X
March 8, 2016
I was so anxious with sizing at first then preop nerves!
But it has been a great experience, not painful and it has made me happy
March 14, 2016
Your current breasts look a lot like mine so I'm so excited to see your outcome! My surgery is scheduled for June- could not come any faster hehe
March 14, 2016
Ah how exciting! Do you know what size you will be having? I am T-27 days now :D x

Call me crazy but I actually love the way they look right now! I'm sure you'll get such a beautiful result given how they are already nicely shaped. Best of luck for tomorrow :)
March 23, 2016
Aw Thankyou the surgeon said I have a nice shape and slope but just need them a bit fuller up top! Not long now, in on the 11th X

Bringing the date forward ?!?!

cheb05
So they have offered me April 11th now if I want it rather than July 15th!

The idea of having them sooner gets me so excited. The only down fall is that's the day I am due to go back to work after Easter holidays. I am wondering if I can take the week off. Do we reckon this will be long enough? Then the week after I will return but not dance just have my assistant help teach for me?
April seems so much more exciting as then we have 4 weddings throughout the summer to attend and I will be bikini ready for summer without worrying about wearing my sports bra every day. Help ?!?!

These are my wish boob pics btw :)

Eeeee date is booked! 11th April! 6 weeks to go

cheb05
Wooo today I booked my date! 3 months earlier than planned but so so chuffed.
44 days to be precise. 1 week off work booked, cover sorted! Even ordered myself 2 zip front sports bras, v pillow, arnica supps and reusable ice packs today.
I have my 2nd consult on 16th March. I have now understood DD may be a bit of an extreme for me after seeing a few DDs so I am happy my doc said no more than 270. A few people have raised concerns about me being slim and having overs but 2 consultants have said I have enough coverage for them and unders may make my muscly chest situation worse.
Any recommendations for compression bras?

What size sports bras did u buy? Iv not bought mine yet as I'm unsure of what size to get. I'm having 265cc overs on the 8th April, my surgeon has said that this size should get me a Dcup as I already have quite a bit of breast tissue there.
March 1, 2016
Hiya, I've ordered a 32d zip front shock absorber, a medium zip front low support one and a non wired bra in 32d and 32dd just Incase. My surgeon has said I don't need a compression one just a non wired bra that lets them sit naturally. X
March 1, 2016
Thanks I'll probs buy a few different ones just incase. Just my luck I'll buy D's and end up a C, fingers crossed we get the D's that we want X
March 4, 2016
My 32D came and looks so small so now ordered a 34D too!

Awesome. Sooner the better because really that's all you will think about anyway! You sound prepared already!
March 2, 2016
Think I'm overly prepared for it now :) bought a cute overnight bag and a case for all things il need within arms reach. Roll on 39 days to go!!

Hiya, how exciting that they moved your date forward!!
Have you heard of the Macom bra? It's a compression bra designed especially for post op - they're sold on line. My nurse recommended it to me and it was like wearing a little bit of heaven after I'd struggled the first couple of days in a sports bra. You don't need to guess your cup size either as you order by back size only.
I still wear mine now on lazy days under jumpers etc, it is just soooo comfortable, and very supportive.
March 2, 2016
Hi Hun! So excited. I spoke to my surgeon regarding a bra and he wants my boobs to sit naturally so I have to just have a non wired bra. I did initially plan to buy a Macom bra but apparently not anymore

Ah that's fair enough :-) all surgeons have their own particular aftercare advice.
Good luck with everything, only a few more weeks to wait now :-) :-)
March 2, 2016
Thankyou :) is there anything I can search on here to bring up more people with overs? Really struggling to find anyone x

Have you typed in subglandular?
Unfortunately there are not many overs on this site - as I found when researching my BA. American surgeons favour submuscular.
Mine of course are overs, as are Frankees and Onyxgals who regularly comments on my review.
March 2, 2016
Yeh come across a few! Nothing what I supposed is classed as "small" implants over, still looking though :) I've seen two surgeons now who have both said I can deal with overs and can't manage unders due to muscle use at work. X

I will keep my eye out for smaller overs reviews for you too :-) x
March 3, 2016
Aw Thankyou :) I've been told 270cc is my max. I posted a question to the doctors on here... Most put how you can't tell without measurements and the rest put "don't think you'll reach a D cup". Bit disheartening but suppose I have to put faith in my doc! Xx
March 22, 2016
I have been told to only get bras that zip at the back ? also I was scheduled in for 11th of April for my surgery but have had to postpone it
March 22, 2016
Good luck :)
March 23, 2016
Aw I was told front or back just not over head X
