Well I'd thought I'd do an update. Not much has changed however I'm still getting pain in my left breast. It comes and goes. I'm still wearing my Macom bra to bed, it's mainly for security and comfort. I went back to boux avenue today to get a couple more bras. I just got a plain nude t shirt bra and a pretty pale pink t shirt bra still measuring at a 28FF/30F.
It's quite important when getting fitted to tell the person measuring you your boobs aren't real (unless it's blatantly obvious but so far no one noticed mine) because it means bras will fit a little different which you may have to bear in mind. I'm still so happy with my results I feel more womanly and complete although I do have the odd big boob day. Anyway here are a few pictures my scars are white and barely visible. Although the picture makes them look more white than they actually are.

Mr Meleagros is an excellent surgeon. He's straight to the point which is what I liked most about him. I wouldn't have felt comfortable worth a surgeon being too over familiar. He does his job and he does it beyond well.

You always look so lovely in your updates - the size is perfect for you! I totally get what you mean about "big boob days" though - trying something on and thinking ughhhh I look like a blob! Well actually I am sure you could never looked like a blob as you're wonderfully petite :-) Hopefully your booby pain will settle - mines all but gone finally [RS bleep]
April 26, 2016
Yes I'm hopeful, I have days where I question if it could be CC but my boob isn't deformed or anything. And it's not always there.
Glad I'm not the only who has big boob days :-) x

Still looking great! :) What are you doing to help your scars? I know everyone heals differently however I've been using bio-oil twice a day and my scars are still very red :( Only a month behind you xx
May 6, 2016
I do absolutely nothing Hun, I use to use coconut oil morning and night but stopped after about a few months. I think I just heal well. My C section scar is barely visible, it's just white and hardly noticeable. I hope you're doing well xx

Lucky you!! I think I might go back to using silicone sheets, they're meant to be good. Otherwise I'm doing well thanks, just starting the hunt for bikinis that don't make my boobs look obviously fake! xx
May 6, 2016
Lol, tell me about it. I need new bikinis I have no idea where to start looking. Everything I saw in primark I thought would not be much good. X

Thank you for sharing your story, I am booked in for BA with Mr Meleagros on 23rd July and I can't wait!! Reading your journey has made me even more excited. Your boobs look amazing too!! Xx
May 21, 2017
Ah thank you. He's a very good surgeon. My advice to anyone is take each day as it comes post op. Have zero expectations on the finished result (except having larger boobs) because everyone heals differently. I read so many people's journeys on here. It really helped me. Good luck not that you'll need it xx

How far post op was you when you liked them? Xx
May 21, 2017
For me I liked them from the beginning. Before having my children I was always big boobed, so having my surgery made me feel like me again. So I'm lucky, but I know my friend who had nothing hated hers for quite a while, she felt they were pointy. Takes a while to drop and fluff. Are you still unhappy Hannah?

Well it's been a while since I last updated, last time I mentioned I've been getting some soreness to my boobs. This has definitely improved. I bought a non wired bra under the recommendation of the nurse at my surgeons office and I've been wearing that on and off some days I wear my wired bras other more relaxed days I wear the non wired one. And I'm back to wearing my Macom surgical bra at night. I still get the odd zingers but it's not even 20 weeks po yet so I just need to remind myself I'm still healing internally. My boobs look really natural, especially in clothes. I alway thought they'd look more fake but they don't. I think the proportion on them in comparison to my hips work fine. If anything a little on the small side and I think the only way to have really balanced myself out is having a moderate/ mod + implant but my rib cage is so narrow it just wouldn't work. I love them, I can't wait for the warmer weather to be honest I'm sick of jumpers I'm ready to show off my new figure.
So a reminder I had 495cc uhp inspira implants. I went for the former ones out of the two. I think they're called soft touch (can't really remember, they were more expensive). They have a less chance of rippling although I do have slight rippling, but you really can't see it, only I can feel it. I was a 30DD pre op and now am a 28FF/30F post op but have a lot more upper pole fullness.
No one can really tell I've had anything done because before children I was always busty (but on the larger size anyway). Here's some photos and a couple of the Panache non wired bra.

Sorry for the delay in updating everyone. So on Tuesday I saw my surgeon and had my 3 month post op check up. It was the strangest appointment I've ever gone to I was out within 3 minutes. He asked how I was I said good, he asked if I had sensation back I said yes to my right breast not all back in my left, which he documented. I whipped my top off and got my boobs out. He said they look very natural, good spacing nice cleavage, scars look good and they're nice and soft. I said there was rippling he checked and confirmed there is now rippling to both breasts. I said I could feel or see he said it's barely visible. It's a risk I knew could happen which I was told at my consultant appointment and at my pre assessment and when I signed my consent form. I left feeling happy. I went home and that night in the bath I had a feel and felt the rippling, wasn't too bothered. Today is the first day I leant forward and saw it. Boo (thumbs down)!!!!! It's not too much of an issue but a friend said to becareful invade it's my body building up too much scar tissue, a bit like CC I guess. I think it's the poor quality of my skin, the elasticity wasn't great from the amount my boobs stretched when I breast fed. Anyway. I still love my boobs, despite the sad little ripples. They've changed me so much, I feel more confident in clothes and myself. And if it means a few ripples I'm actually fine with it. I'll upload some pictures (my right is still slightly bigger although it looks so much worse from the picture.

Rippling is so frequent. Just a price to pay. Theoretically , sub muscular placement reduces it , practally, it may be apparent anyway. What brand implants did you choose?
February 13, 2016
I had inspira texture soft touch so the ones that have less rippling ironically. The U.K. Very rarely place implants sub muscular especially if you've a lot of breast tissue which I did have due to breast feeding and being big busted years and years ago. Like I say it was a risk and I'm not bothered. It could be worse. I could have had capsular contracture. I love my results so I'm happy :-)
February 13, 2016
Oh God, I read soft touch is firmer. I guess I'm doomed to rippling too. I'm likely to pick mentor .
Thank God there are beautiful bras that may help keep wrinkles /ripples in hiding.
Congratulations on your
February 13, 2016
Who knows but it's not noticeable when I'm standing. Just when I lean forward. I'd never go topless on a beach so I think I'll be ok is disguising it
February 13, 2016
I wouldn't worry either.

Hey Hun, I had been wondering how you got on at the appointment -
It's ladies striving for, and expecting perfection that suffer after a BA - and so I love love LOVE your positive upbeat nature - you've once more got lovely full boobs, a knockout cleavage and that's that! :-)

The follow up op is strangely brief and a little awkward isn't it - everyone I know that's been has said the same - I think I just felt awkward showing him my new breasts even though he was the one that created them - strange hey!
Hope you're having a lovely Valentines weekend :-) xx
February 14, 2016
That's exactly how I felt. I didn't want to show him lol. But it was over so quickly. I kinda felt it was a waste of time, although I know it wasn't.
Honestly I am so happy with my results, and the rippling hasn't dampened my feelings on my new assets. And I hope no one else ever feels that way. The reality is my boobs are not real and I'm not trying to hide the fact they aren't, so if anyone was to notice the little rippling I'm not bothered. It happens and I hope any ladies who read this know truly it's not a big deal. When I'm standing you can't see it, you can feel (if looking to feel it, my husband can't feel it) it but it's not visible. I couldn't be happier.
Happy Valentine's Day to you [RS bleep]

Hi Hun, thank you for your story. I, like you, have empty breasts from feeding 2 boys. Finally booked in with Mr Meleagros for the 20th April. I'm struggling to decide between 495cc and 525cc. I've ordered my macom in a 32. After reading your story, I think I will need to send them back and get a 30. Seeing your pics makes me more excited because it gives me a better idea of how mine will look. X X X
February 26, 2016
Ah, so exciting for you. There won't be a huge difference between the two sizes but go with your gut instinct. Mine was always 495cc and I'm glad I went with it. X

Well yours look amazing!! It's good to hear stories from people who have seen the same surgeon too. I'd be very happy with boobies like yours haha X X X
February 26, 2016
Thank you. I had no real expectations, anything would have been an improvement from the empty sacks of skin I had. Mr M is very good, he's a man of few words but he's an amazing surgeon. Time will go so fast, I can't believe I'm nearly 17 weeks xx

They are ultra high profile. They have a nice natural slop with a little more fullness. I shall do a new post tonight so keep an eye out xx

With the rippling, does that only occur when bending over and such? They look lovely otherwise. Is it thick rippling texture or more light skin type of thing? My breasts are similar to yours before but I'm yet to have children and am worried as I already have stretch marks (poor skin quality).
March 22, 2016
You barely notice it, my husband can't see anything lol. You can see it a little when I lean forward but it's not thick or deep rippling. It's a risk with any implant, but it not made me love them any less because you can't see it. Will you be going over the muscle or under the muscle?
User Avatar
March 23, 2016
Oh thats good! I'm doing it to feel comfortable with my man and gain some confidence. And yours do look fantastic! Boob envyyyy.... I'm thinking over the muscle, I've got an inverted sternum, not noticeable really until I point it out to people but fortunately it gives me a small cleavage and although they're not big at all, Acup. I've been told it exaggerates the size. Plus I'm butt heavy and kinda skinny up top so don't want to end up looking like balloons on a coat hanger haha. I'd like them like yours, they're big and look soft and natural. Just having trouble with a good surgeon in Australia. I've only seen a few chicks on here who had them done in Aust and seemingly not so well. Any recommendations? Thnx for ur feed back :)
March 23, 2016
Have a look on YouTube there was a woman who is Australian and had her boobs done. Also when you visit a surgeons office ask to see his before an after portfolio always gives you a good idea on their work xx
