Wow time has flown by and can't believe it's really happening. Still haven't plucked up the courage to take pics of current boobies but I'm hoping I'll bite the bullet on Wednesday as the op is Thursday and I definitely want before and after pics. I just really don't like them!

So it's less than three weeks until my BL+BA (revision). I keep trying to cast my mind back to my first BA in 2007 but it seems a lifetime ago. I've bought a new spots bra and have decided to hold off until after to buy anymore, in case they come out bigger than expected.
Last time I went from 34A to a 34DD with 280/300cc's which I'm now surprised about, as I've been reading that 400cc's would usually be a D/DD cup! This time I'm going for 425cc's so hoping to fill the void from breastfeeding and go a bit bigger.
Has anyone else got the same stats as me and had 425cc's, if so, what size did you come out as?

Hi ya. I'm having same op next month so really excited to hear how you get on :) I had 380cc back in 2006 with transform. Having uplift and replacement implants. Surgeon said either 350,380 or 420cc. Hoping for 420 as worried others will be too small. I'm 5'3" 8stone and a size 6-8. X

Hiya, I'll keep posting as I get closer, still trying to decide whether to put my before pics up, haven't taken any yet and feeling a bit apprehensive about putting myself out there in photo form! Lol
I'm sure I'll pluck up the nerve nearer the time. Only 19 days to go!

Ladies who have had a lift, question about a hair appointment????
So, I'm booked in for a breast lift and revision of current silicone implants in January and have booked myself in for half a head of highlights with a cut and dry, four days after the op. Is this a bad idea or will I be OK to sit for three hours?
It's been ten years since the initial procedure and I can't recall the recovery/pain.
Anyone got experience of something similar and willing to comment???

Just to be safe, my advice would be to wait a few weeks after your surgery before subjecting your body to any chemicals (hair dye, unless its plant based and organic)....plus, just four days out from surgery you will still have stitches and possibly be in a considerable amount of pain due to swelling and the incisions healing. If it were me, I would just plan to have my hair done a few weeks prior to surgery so my hair is good go for another 4 to 6 weeks. I just had my breast implant exchange surgery only 8mos ago and I tell you what....the pain and healing time now at age 43 compared to when I was 22 (first BA) was MUCH greater and 3x longer. It's totally true that the older we are the slower our cells regenerate causing prolonged healing in most people no matter how healthy you are. *Just something to keep in mind :) :)
I wish you the best! Cheers

Thanks, that's really helpful. It was originally just going to be a wash and dry, as I thought by day four I'd be going crazy with greasy hair. My hairdresser said she'd just wash if I'm in a lot of pain and hold off on the highlights.
Hadn't considered the chemicals though, thanks xx

I just had a lift and an implant exchange and was back to work five days's post. I am 53 and did feel the recovery was any worse than when I had the original BA at about age 45. I definitely would have been fine to sit for three hours 4 days' post, but my only concern would be if the position of your neck while your hair is being washed is ok or not. You do not want to do any damage or prevent the proper healing from taking place. I agree with Tanya that you are better off making the appointment for the week before so you don't have to worry about getting your hair done for a few weeks after.

Thanks. Glad to hear your recovery went well, I'm hoping for the same. I have two weeks off work so hopefully that will help.
My hairdresser has said she'd be flexible if I want to cancel so I think I'll speak to the surgeon about the use of chemicals and wait till after the operation to see how I am. I'm happy to have rubbish roots while I recover. Lol xx
