So i have just returned from travelling around cambodia and thailand after my re-op! I had my re-op on 12th october, my doctors note covered me for 3 weeks but i was fine and felt good after 1 week so i returned to uni but stayed off work for the 2 weeks :) my boobs look so much better and feel so much better now iv had the reop. The right one that was quite tight and hurt to lie on due to not dropping into the pocket, now feels fine and it has the same natural slope that the left one has. As always dr murphy was great on the op day and everything went smoothly! Getting appointments afterwards is easy. So many compliments from the women in thailand on my boobs and constantly asked of they are real because they said they looked so good so i was very very happy with that haha! Will be 1 year on February the 2nd 2018 and its still the best decision and the best money i have ever spent.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s helped me so much. I’ve been advised to have a lollipop lift with silicone implants by mr Giorgio Netri at transform. Now I’m debating whether to choose the spire instead as yours look amazing. If you don’t mind me asking how much did it cost? Transform are asking for £6,500.

hey :) im so glad its helped in some way! i paid £7200 which was quite a lot more than anywhere else as i was quoted around £5500 at most places but for me i really liked james, trusted him, hospital was amazing, after care has been amazing, no issue when i need a minor reop just booked straight in - so i was happy to pay the extra and even now i always say if it cost me double what it did i would still pay it because he and the staff are just fantastic and i love my results :) however i had heard good things about transform and my friend went there years before i had mine done and was very happy :)

Thanks for your reply. I agree the spire is really good I had my tonsillectomy there in October and the level of care I received was second to none. I never really thought of going there for my breast but since reading your experience and seeing your photos I’m starting to question my choice, more research and questions is the way forward I think! Thanks Hun x

Hi, just saw this and thought I would share that my experience with James and the team was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for better care! My price was just shy of what bethan1 paid. So worth the extra for the level of care! Good luck x

Hi. Great to know your revision was successful! Can you post a couple pics of the results of the revision you had done ? I have very similar to yours and my right one the same issue I need a revision on the right to shapmthe same as the left. Thank you

I have enjoyed reading your journey, your boobs are amazing, I’m seeing Mr Murphy next week after being let down by previous surgeon. mr. Murphy has always been my number 1 choice, but his waiting list was so long. Glad I am finally getting to see him. X

Thanks for your update. And wishing you the best with your revision. Sounds like you have a really great PS from what you describe in your prior update. Btw I also recently had a revision for assymetry. I look forward to following your progress.

Looking good! I love them!!
October 13, 2017
Can’t see from your pics as it’s not side view but how’s the upper pole volume now? Do you find it’s still nice and sloping/natural?
User Avatar
October 13, 2017
On my left i have the slope and natural shape which i love but my right always har a very high kind of bullet shape to it haha but home now after my revision and can already see the right is a better shape, more full and wide rather than high and round. Feels so much softer already and i still have swelling! So looking good so far :) il take some more pics and side view ones in the next couple of days, too much effort to take my bra on and off atm haha xx
October 13, 2017
Ah bless you thanks! Can’t wait to see pics!!

Thanks. And yes recovery is going very well. Minor revisions are much easier than the original surgeries. Btw, if you want to check out my revision pics click on my name to get to my profile page... and scroll down the list for my “Shape over size - breast lift with implants.” review. Of course the revision is the last few updates. Talk later. :-)

8 months post op

So im not 8 months post op and i am still so so so soooo in love with my boobs! I cant express how much i love them and how please i am with the shape, the scars and the treatment from spire and dr murphy. I cannot rate the hospital or dr murphy and his team highly enough.
Now my right breast hasnt dropped as much as we had hoped, he thinks the pocket is just a little too small so he booked me in for a re-op which im due to have in a few days. Now this isnt a problem with the implants, but it has caused my right one to sit slightly higher and feel firmer as it hasnt dropped and fluffed. There isnt capsular contractor but the pocket needs widening slightly. This is just a quick op and i was told it will take around 20 mins. Iv seen dr murphy every few months for check ups, each appoiment has been kept to never cancelled & never late. I have read many reviews on other companies who simply dont do a check up until say 6 months or patients cant get in touch with their surgeon or even when they can they are refused reops or just told to wait a year or after 18 months etc - iv had none of that. Dr murphy was the one who said he isnt happy with how my right boob has settled and he wants to fix it, i didnt have to ask ir persuade him like iv read other girls have done at for example the hospital group... i have nothing to pay and i still get the lovely hospital room i had & my gas and air before i get put to sleep because im so scared of needles! No fuss at all he said he wants to do the reop, booked me in that same day with the date that worked for me around my university and thats it, done :)
My left boob has settled beautifully, again no issues with the implant its very soft and jiggly and you wouldnt know there was an implant in there! My scars are starting to go whiter and whiter and fading.
Bra-wise im wearing around a 34C - 34D depending on the shop and i can now wear underwired lace bras with no padding and they make my boobs look amazing! I could never wear this type of bra before it looked awful!
Il do an update after my reop but so far so good. I love my boobs even without the reop, noone can tell on is slightly higher until i point it out!
Anyone considering spire or dr murphy you have to go for it, they are a little more expensive than other places but i would pay triple what i paid if i knew i would have these results and the service i have had. Iv recommended a friend who is having her op with him off my recommendations and results too :)
Il take some photos for my update when i can!

Oh god I’m 10 weeks post op and neither have fully dropped but mainly my right - it’s started moving in the last week or so but I still have loads of upper pole! It’s soft and squishy so doubt it’s capsule but I hope I don’t need to have another procedure!!! Nervous!

You will be fine dont worry :) and even if you its so easy the second time, nothing like the first one!!!! Xx
May 25, 2018
Oh god- thanks Hun- really I hope they drop on their own but I will brace myself. I’ve heard it can take months with an uplift but I am seeing surgeon in a couple of weeks- not sure how much is my anatomy cos I’m really short in the torso so they do take up a lot of me chest ha ha
September 18, 2018
You boobas look AMAZING!! I’m looking to book mine in for next April and this review totally convinces me to go for it! X
