So i'm currently in the recuperation period for my breast augmentation with Mr James Murphy, In Manchester, UK.

275cc Motiva 'Mini' (Low Profile) Silicone Implants
Under muscle / submuscular / dual plane / sub pectoral
Crease incision
Natural size - 34B/C
BWD: 13.5cm
My height: 5ft7
Dress size 10

Pictures to come in the following days!

Straight after surgery!

Feeling great! Snuck a peek at them and they didn't look as Frankensteinish as I was expecting! 275 was the larger of the two sizes the surgeon was going to choose from. I told him when he was marking me up before the surgery that I would've preferred to go for the 245, but in the end I knew he would make the best call based on my anatomy.

My stay overnight in the Spires hospital Manchester was really comfortable and I was really well taken care of. Having done it, I would never want to be discharged on the same day of having a breast Aug (which I know is common practice) - even though I felt pretty okay after coming round from the anaesthetic, I only Felt truly firm on my feet the following morning.

Home and surprised and how easy this has been already!

I've been at home for a couple of days an the pain/discomfort factor is a thousand times lower than expected.

The only the pain I've been experiencing is a sharp discomfort from time to time on my left incision, Which only seems to affect me when I'm standing up, And as soon as I lie down it goes away. I'm able to walk around, sit, stand, lie down and get up with no discomfort.

I've been sleeping perfectly fine on my back, And seem to have avoided so called 'morning boob' which is great.

They seem to already be dropping into place and i'm really happy with the way they're looking so far.

Both breasts are still completely numb from nipples down which is actually quite an unsettling thing, hoping it comes back asap.

I saw 6 people (3 in UK, 3 in US) and James Murphy stood out by miles as the classiest guy. Easygoing, tactful, didn't try and ram ideas or beauty norms down my throat, didn't put my body down. Nice offices (I travelled halfway across country twice for my pre-ops and didn't even mind) in a fancy private hospital in Manchester, which was where the surgery was. I received totally stellar care whilst there and was treated like royalty. Lovely guy, good portfolio of work, lovely staff. I got a free consultation but I would happily pay retrospectively for the patient and friendly and professional advice I got.
