10 months

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.

8 month photos

You can see that my right boob is slightly higher... it also feels much firmer. I didnt really keep up with the scar gel so i havnt used that for months and months now!

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!

I couldn't be happier with my results, I never ever dreamed my boobs would be this good. Iv had the smoothest recovery with no issues at all with my boobs, no pain from the moment I woke up from surgery. I was extremely nervous for being put to sleep and the needles but James made the whole process so easy and understood how scared i actually was rather than brushing me off as being pathetic like most doctors have in the past - I would do it all again tomorrow! James was fantastic from my first consultation, he listens to you and what you want. I trusted him straight away and was happy to go with all of his recommendations for my surgery and im so glad i did. His team are brilliant, they reply to emails within hours, so helpful and lovely ladies. The new spire hospital feels more like a hotel and the nurses at Spire were amazing and looked after me all day and night. You're made to feel like the only patient with James and with Spire as a hospital, unlike other cosmetic surgery companies where your 1 of 10000 girls and the surgeon couldn't care less about you. There isn't a single thing I could fault and I recommend James to everyone! Please see my profile for photos and an in-depth review of my whole experience.
