It's been a week post op and for some reason I still feel quite weak like I can't move around much. I also have a feel of constant sickness I think I'm worried I'm going to hate them. At the moment I'm too scared to even look at them it's almost giving me anxiety that they're not going to make me feel how I wished they would. When I open up the surgical bra I just feel like my skin is being so stretched. It's something I've wanted for years and years and I never thought id regret my decision to have it done, which I doubt I will.
The overall procedure was fine, I just have to be patient I guess. Has anyone else felt this way?

Hi! I am going for my surgery a week on Sunday and have decided on 250cc as well. They say that the first week is the hardest and you can't help but have some anxiety and negative thoughts, especially if you are still feeling weak and in pain. The stretched and tight skin feeling is quite common but should pass soon, you could use bio-oil or something similar if you feel comfortable to. I hope you feel better soon! I am so nervous and excited, I just hope I don't hate them and freak out afterwards, e.g. "what have I done" "they are so hard and high" "they look really fake". I'll be scared to even look for at least a week until some swelling has gone down a bit.

I'm sure you will love them! In a few weeks i will probably be wandering what I made the big deal about. It's just hard being stuck in the house not being able to do hardly anything that is most frustrating for me. Thanks for the reassurance :) what size are you going from? I'm sure you won't think they're too big, mine are starting to feel a bit softer now just need to wait for the skin to stretch a bit more!

thanks for making me feel better! It can make you feel down if you are stuck in the house all the time. let me know how you get on! going from 34A what size did you go from? I hope for a full B or small C. are they bigger than you expected? was it a shock when you first saw them? are you getting used to having boobs now? would you have gone any bigger?

I went from a 32a but not even that I was totally flat! Luckily because they're quite small I wasn't too shocked. They still feel foreign at the moment. If you want a natural look they'll be perfect. No I definitely wouldn't of gone any bigger but I have a small frame I'm a dress size 6/8 so any bigger would look too fake. I don't want to scare you by the way I'm sure your experience will be better than mine :)

You've actually made me even more excited! I'll let you know how it goes! :)

I have been thinking now for a few days if I have chosen the right size for me. I am not as petite and small framed as you, 5 ft 6 and 60kg. I am seriously thinking about going slightly bigger to 275cc
wm123
September 24, 2015
275cc is certainly not too big either so go for it if you feel that is right. I'm sure you won't regret your decision. Just think what is worse for you.. Would you rather regret going too big or be disappointed too small?

How did your surgery go? What size did you go for in the end?

its on saturday, so the day after tomorrow! cant believe it! I think I'm going to go for 250cc Over the muscle because, as you said I would rather be on the small side and maybe wear push up bras sometimes if I want to than have them too big! I have a final consultation tomorrow though so we will see. How are you feeling? hope you are feeling better. how long post op are you now?
wm123

Ah that's exactly the same as mine! Are you going round or teardrop shape? I'm feeling much better now 15 days post op, it's crazy how much they have changed in that time already. Looking forward to being able to wear normal bras and be totally pain free!!

My implants will be round, were yours? what size do you think you will be?
wm123
October 1, 2015
Mine were teardrop shape but high profile. I'm really not sure I think a small 32c but I'm not sure to be honest I'll probably get measured in a few months. What size did you want to achieve?
irw1995
October 1, 2015
I would like to be a C cup too, but bra sizes are so confusing, like a 34 C holds as much breast tissue as a 36 B so its very hard to try to communicate implant size with bra size if you know what I mean. I cannot wait to go bra shopping in a few months!!
wm123
October 1, 2015
Yeah I know what you mean! your PS won't guarantee a bra size because everyone's different. Tomorrow explain exactly how you want them and trust their judgement on size to go for - they're the experts!! Good luck for the upcoming procedure

I am just in my hospital room recovering, feeling good though. Went for 265cc in the end! They feel so heavy like they will fall off if I move, can't wait for them to settle and heal

Aww I'm pleased for you! you just have to get through the first week. It will be tough with the frustration of not being able to move and do things for yourself but before you know it you'll be back to normal!

thanks so much, just got home now, so glad to be in my own bed! not in any pain at all but going to take it easy, just going to stay in bed and watch netlix all week haha! I can't stop looking at them, so in love!!! thanks for reminding me to be patient :) How are you feeling?

It's on Saturday! I am going for 250cc overs, because as you said I would rather still be on the small side than go to big. How are you recovering? Hope you are feeling better

Just sat in my hospital room! I am so excited, can't wait to see them when I wake up

Sorry for the delay in replying, I'm feeling good, they're finally starting to feel like my own. Only frustrating thing is that my PS said I must keep my surgical bra on for 3 months which is a bit of a pain! How are you feeling?

Oops sorry for late reply too, only just seen your message! Glad that you are feeling better now and they have settled in. I'm feeling just back to normal now, apart from a bit of itching on my scars, I know that's normal though (10 days post op now!). I've got my post op appointment with my surgeon on Friday and everything has been great so far, they are perfect! Bought loads of non underwire sports bras to wear for the first few months, primark had loads to choose from! Have you had any numbness or lack of sensation? I find the skin surrounding the incision and on the lower part of my boobs has lost feeling a bit, I'm sure it will come back as they heal :-)

October 13, 2015
That's great news :) yes I still have numbness on the bottom half of my breasts. My nipple sensation went too but is slowly coming back now. Am glad your pleased with your results, I just want to fast forward a few months now so I can get some nice bras!!

October 18, 2015
me too! and bikini shopping!! so exciting. my surgeon said I can wear normal bra's now, don't have to wear sports bras but I probably still will for the next few weeks until pay day!

How long before they feel my own?

Just wandering how long it takes before they won't feel foreign and totally my own. Also how long before the pain stops in mornings? Thanks!!

Excellent results. Highly reccomend Mrs Kat to anyone. She was very thourough to make sure the results were exactly what I wanted and also made sure that it suited my body shape. The whole process ran very smoothly, also only had a wait of around 2 months from the first phone call to the actual procedure. Never looking back! After care follow up also great
