So after 2 years of being flat chested after losing 3 stone and weight lifting I've finally decided to do it!!! Really excited to meet my surgeon but for now I'll take about my consultation at Harley Medical Group. I decided to have my operation there after researching surgeons and also going to a few other consultations. I cannot fault the woman who took my consultation! Lucy was lovely and answered all my questions. She helped me to try on sizers and come up with a comfortable size for me. She explained to me how my surgeon consultation would be structured and advised me to go away and list all my questions so I could ask as many as possible in the session. We decided to go between 400-600cc but I'm leaning towards 500cc+ due to my height and broadness but she said the surgeon will let me know what's doable. Right now I'm so excited for my surgery, it seems a little bit like a life makeover and I'm treating it as such. This is a life changing experience and I cannot wait to get my new breasts! Pre operation preparation: at the moment I'm training really hard in the gym and trying to get in good health and good shape to help my healing process and also for confidence. I'm saving up for my new wardrobe!! (Any excuse to shop). And I'm constantly online looking at pictures of women's breasts and sending them to my boyfriend (poor sod)!!

I'm exactly the same iv lost 3 stone and soo excited for my new boobs with Mark Solomos this Tuesday (1st March) :)
February 28, 2016
Ah wow can you post some pictures afterwards and let me know how it goes!! So nice to meet someone using the same surgeon!!
February 28, 2016
Good luck with your procedure, I had a BA and lift with Mark Solomos in November and he's amazing.... You will be in very professional hands [RS bleep]
March 1, 2016
So nice to see someone who's had a good experience with the same surgeon! What did he suggest for you recovery wise?? I know every surgeon is different!
February 29, 2016
Good luck with your BA!!! I will be getting mine March 25th! I chose to go with 600cc hp under the muscle. Like you I started out with wanting anywhere from 400 to 500cc then the more I looked I started liking 550 and 600cc. Tried them both on at my consultation. I am also tall like you, I am 5'7" and weigh about 155 or so. I think you should go with at least 550+. You never want to feel like you didn't go big enough:)
February 29, 2016
Oh really! I'm looking forward to seeing your before and afters!! Yeah I'm thinking 500-600 now but don't want them to affect me in the gym etc so need to talk to my surgeon and work closely with him to decide what size is best and not sure on over and under. I cannot wait to hear how yours go!!! Are you excited!!???
March 1, 2016
If you are really into fitness and go to gym a lot then they will probably suggest you get over the muscle. Under the muscle is a lot more recovering and you aren't able to do lifting and such for a long time. And yes I'm super excited!!!!! I feel like I've been waiting forever, a whole 8 years! Let me know you the surgeon says and I will definitely check your updates!
March 1, 2016
Yeah I did think that! I will let you know what the surgeon says!! I'll be checking your updates!!! Hahaa I feel like I've been waiting forever too - totally overrides any nerves I could have
June 3, 2016
How did your ba go!
June 3, 2016
It went great!!! I am 2.5 months post op! Will post some more pictures for this point in time! Did you get your BA yet?
June 3, 2016
No I have 2 weeks left to wait! I'm itching to get it done now! How did you find recovery?
March 2, 2016
So excited for you!
I saw my BA as a life change too and it's such a refreshing feeling once it's done.
* I've lost my phone so all my pics have gone so that's why I've not been able to update my blog*
One thing I'd suggest to any one before the surgery day is to get a nice back massage!
I didn't and ended up riddled with knots throughout my upper back and shoulders and struggled with that for afew days.
Best of luck! And enjoy your new amazing body :)
March 2, 2016
Let me know when you update it!!! And good top do you have any other things you would recommend?
June 3, 2016
I hope you don't mind me following your journey :) I'm researching implants as I've just had a lift and decided to wait 6 months before having my implants. I'd love your opinion on my recent post as my surgeon recommended under the muscle initially but following a seminar he's now recommending over the muscle because of my significant weight loss of 5st 4lb. I discussed implant size also and he said I could only have a max size of 330cc if I had the lift and implants in one op which is why I decided to separate the two so that I can have bigger boobies. I've mentioned 360cc but I'm now wondering if that's too small to achieve a DD/E cup? My waist is 31 inch and I'm 5ft2 x
June 3, 2016
Your surgeon will know what is best for you is exactly what I have learnt during this process. I am having mine a mix of under and over due to implant size and my breast shape. They will give you a maximum size as this prevents stretch marks and also bottoming out where the implant is too heavy and drops below where it is meant to. Also don't get hung up on sizes as it all looks different on different people and also changes from store to store too! Like weight loss and getting hung up on the scale and clothes size. At your height that'd be a big old implant!!! And I'm sure it'll look amazing!! I bet you cannot wait!! Please follow my journey as much as you like and ask me anything you want:)
June 8, 2016
Great advice! Thank you :) I originally agreed to wait 6 months after my mastopexy but I'm already feeling impatient haha I'm researching implants like crazy!

Hi
Hope you don't mind me commenting on your post however, I had 325cc high profiles 2 days ago and have gone from 34a to 36DD which does feel very tight. I believe once swelling dies down I will still be a large D if not still bordering on DD.
My surgeon said he wouldn't go any bigger for me due to my size/frame etc. I'm 5ft 7 and have had 4 children and fluctuated dramatically with weight. I currently weigh 9st7 and have been that for some time however, while carrying children I reached 13st and breast DD. I had BA for fuller breast but surgeon was right not to go bigger as I can assure you, nothing else would fit it... I am 2 days post opp and can't tell you how happy I am with size. Obviously still very tight and uncomfortable but know the surgeon was right...
I wish you all the very best and hope you achieve what you are looking for because I know I have and it's all because the surgeon knew his stuff after all, he does this for a living and does what's best for you. Happy boobies xx
June 8, 2016
Yay I love a happy booby ending!!! I'm so happy you're glad with yours and that's so nice to hear when I am a week out!

They look great! I just had a Septo-rhinoplasty done in the states.

I'm 5'11" 155 lbs and am about 11 days post-op with 695cc silicone unders. LOVE the size, was initially petrified by the thought of 550s, thinking they would be enormous. I didn't have much to start out with, and the 695s balance perfectly with my height/frame. Best wishes to you! :)
March 1, 2016
Thank you for commenting I'm really intrigued in seeing people who are a similar height etc!! How are you finding them? Yeah I thought omg that's massive initially
March 1, 2016
I love love love them! I will take a new pic and update my review a little later today. They are still quite high on my chest, and I had very wide-set breasts to begin with, so seeing them progress with dropping and fluffing has been fun. Yesterday I threw away a whole drawer full of bra pads. It was liberating! And now, when I shop for clothes, I don't have to think about what kind of weird combination of padded bras and stuffing I'll need. I just slip clothes on and look proportionate for the first time in my life.

I like to think the size I ended up with is not so big that people know they're implants, but that they see them and wonder if I'm just really lucky to have great, full breasts.
March 1, 2016
Congratulations I cannot wait for that day!! And the day I can go to the gym in just a sports bra and feel confident and not have anyone say anything about my 'pecs' ever again. I know my boyfriend loves me either way but it'll make the world of difference to my confidence. Planning my new wardrobe now!!!
March 1, 2016
Yay! I'm so happy for you!
May 26, 2016
Hiya. I so wish I had 425! I had 300 hp under and they certainly don't fit my chest wall or fill out the sides. When I get a revision I want 400-425.
It really all depends on your breast width measurements and your skin/muscle to the outcome of what they will end up like..
425 would be a lovely Big handful for me x
May 26, 2016
Oh really how tall are you? Are you quite broad? I definitely am so am tempted to go a little bigger even so have another consultation to discuss
May 26, 2016
I'm only 5'2 and about 125lbs but I'm quite broad shoulders and triangular shaped top half. My breast width was measured by 1 sugeon at 13cm so that's why 300 mod plus choose as they are 12.2cm wide so should fill our my breast but look natural. But instead hp were only 11.1cm wide but stuck out more .
I like the height in these (well one as one going flat (possible rupture).
I'll be honest I had Dr solomois as my surgeon last minute as mine was taken ill. I personally first met him and thought he was rushed as I had 5 mins with him and he didn't seem to want to listen to what I wanted he would only di what he wanted to my body.. I really was desperate so went along with it. I rang worried and asked to change 3 times that week but he rang me himself and seemed really caring and reassured me that these were right. On the day he was really lovely and my scars are fantastic hrs so neat but I'm just so upset these are not the shape I wanted. Has I have originally seen him since the beginning I think we would have spent alot more time discussing what "I wanted" but the 5 minutes I got were at the end of the day when he Was running 2 hours behind...
Did he measure your breast width ?
May 27, 2016
Yeah he did measure my breast width and everything. I am happy with what we discussed but going back for a second consultation to show some images of wish looks and further discuss what I want

Consulation Done

loumeg2
So I had my consultation with my surgeon and was so nervous I've had to book another one to go back and review my choices. In my consultation we went for the 435cc UHP unders (as I am broad chested and medium framed) which my surgeon predicted would take me up to a 34DD - but not I am suffering with boob greed after seeing so many women on this site who have gone for 500cc plus and I feel as though my proportions would benefit from a larger implant. I have arranged another consultation for next week to discuss this with my surgeon as I'd like to feel abit more at ease and reassured I am making the right choice as this is an investment. Have many other women changed their minds about size pre-surgery? And are there many who wished they'd gone bigger post surgery?

Go with what you want and not what they think , I'm so not happy with mine x
May 24, 2016
Really how come you are not happy x
May 26, 2016
I totally agree with that ! I wanted wider mod plus implants buy at the last minute I had to change sugeon on and he would only put in hp ones.
:(
Be strong and make sure your happy with the choice you want as once tgere in its too late unless you want to fork out another 4000.
I knew these implants wouldn't be wide enough for my frame but he was addiment and I was desperate to have boobs after 18 years of waiting so I went along with it even though my gut was saying no
