So I thought I'd do a review to help others like myself who are either looking to get breast implants or are scheduled to have the procedure done.
I'm 31 years old mother to 2 children whom I both breast fed. Pre children I always had naturally big boobs. At my biggest I was a 32FF. After my first child I went to a 32A and after my second child I have been between a 32C and now measuring a 30DD.
I've never been happy with what I be been left with after having children. Although I know I have them the best start which I don't regret my confidence has plummeted drastically. I generally wear baggy tops and padded bras (I know I'm a 30DD but that's smaller than you think). I'm 5 foot 1 and I wouldn't class myself as petite, I'd say I'm short. I'm a typical pear shaped English woman so my hips are a lot wider than my top half. If I gain weight it goes to my bottom and thighs before anywhere else. I started slimming world back in March to lose the last stone I've been carrying since having my youngest who is now 4.
My husband said to me in July after knowing for a long time I've wanted a ba, about going for a consultation. I spoke to the friends of mine who have implants and contacted the clinics they used and decided Transform as the one for me. The staff were really friendly and put my mind at ease.
In August I had my consultaion with my surgeon and I have asymmetry, my righ breast is slightly larger and lower than my left (It's always been a little bigger but having kids has made it more noticeable). My surgeon said I can get away without an uplift, we discussed putting a bigger implant in my left breast but he doesn't like to do it because he said you can normally see the difference plus my left boob sits higher so a bigger implant too would sit higher. I totally trust his opinion and after doing research on this I can see he is right. I'm having the implants over the muscle because I have plenty of excess skin thanks to breast feeding. I explained to my ps I wanted volume pole fullness back and I want to balance out my bottom half. I'd give anything to be able to wear a dress that fits. So after trying sizers I've settled on 495cc's they're the Allergan naturelle and they're the soft touch. I am now questioning whether to go around the 550ccs mark? I just want to look in proportion.
My pre assessment is in 4 days time which I'm very excited about. My husband said to me last night to find out how much a lift would cost on top of the implants so tomorrow I shall call up and find out. And see if it's actually worth it. My surgery is 4 weeks today and it can't come quick enough.
I'll upload some pictures in my padded bra, my hips in comparison to my top half and my boobs as they are currently.

I am so happy I found your story.. I am having my surgery with DR Meleagros on 21st October and have a few things similar to you.. I am going for 495cc and am currently 5'3ish and 110lbs.. I have been measured previously at 30D but I don't feel that I am this size and actually wear a padded 32B-C dependant on which shop I buy it from. I also have one breast slightly higher than the other and slightly smaller.. Dr Meleagros said that he wouldn't do different sizes for the same reason he said to you, but after more in depth discussion he said he may bring the fold in the higher one down slightly to make it look more even with the other but he will see when he puts them in if it is noticeable enough for him to need to do this. Sorry for the rambling I was just so excited to see that someone had such similarities to my own case. Would love to follow your journey and see how you get on in November. Are you going to the hospital in London?
October 13, 2015
Hallo im also with Mr Meleagros and seeing him on the 22nd about adding a tummy tuck to the BA, i'll be following your stories to see how you get on, my BA is booked for the 19th Dec
October 13, 2015
Exciting times ahead for us both then. I have a feeling I won't be able to have the uplift on the date I'm scheduled to have my ba as I think I'd need to see him before then and that doesn't give me long especially with going on holiday and I don't think I want to push my surgery date back but we'll have to see what my patient coordinator says tomorrow. Good luck on your journey
October 13, 2015
Oh my goodness that's so exciting we sound quite alike. I definitely would like to follow your progress. So please do share. I agree I don't feel I'm as big as I'm measured. I can put most 32C's on and they fit fine.
I certainly am having my surgery in the London hospital (riverside).
Do you know if your implants are going to be high profile? I have no idea.

October 13, 2015
Hi, I think mine are called ultra high profile.. Apparently that's Dr Meleagros's go to implant.. He told me he much prefers working with them. So if you don't talk to him about it he will more than likely use these. I'm so excited tomorrow it will be exactly 1 weeks time and my admission time is 8:30am so hopefully it'll be done early.

Thank you starting to get nervous now.. Will defiantly update you.. May even do a review myself :) have a lovely holiday.
October 18, 2015
I'm so excited it's unreal. I don't normally do excited but this is crazy. How are you feeling?
October 18, 2015
I know, I'm so excited too can not believe by this Wednesday afternoon I will have boobs :O
October 19, 2015
I know, although I don't know if you've seen on my review but they called to say I probably won't be having my surgery until 12ish now so a little more time to worry about it haha
October 14, 2015
Hey lovely to see you've done a review :-)
Good luck at your pre assessment tomorrow - it's with the nurse? She'll take you through all the questions, take your weight height etc, it's all very exciting - the prospect of the op starts to become really real!
Just reading your thoughts on balancing yourself out - so true that getting bigger boobs is like waving a magic wand, voila you're figure is balanced - I know I felt so much better, before I just felt all bum and hips, now I feel all boobs, bum and hips ;-)
Wishing you a lovely holiday - you're so lucky escaping the rain and cold!

Just seen this. I'm looking forward to it but I'm
More excited that 4 days after we get back I have my procedure.
For years I've wanted to look balanced. I think us women are our own worst judge on how we look and feel. Thanks for the heads up on what to expect at my pre assessment. Even that is exciting me. I am always watching YouTube videos of boob implants

Breast uplift?
frankee2012October 13, 2015
So I called my patient co ordinator yesterday but unfortunately she was not of the office. She is going to give me a call tomorrow (Wednesday) hopefully with the cost of an uplift.
The more I think about it the more I feel it's only my right breast that has a little issue. My surgeon isn't in this week so I'm not sure what will happen. I told my husband I think it may make the price go up at least a few thousand pounds.
Has anyone had an uplift and implants recently if so could you tell me a rough price for it please?
I still have my pre assessment for Thursday and I'm off to Florida at the end of next week. When I get back I'll have 4 days to get everything in place, like cleaning, washing, food in the freezer ready for my surgery. Can't wait :-)

No uplift!
frankee2012October 14, 2015
Spoke to my patient co ordinator today and she went through my notes and said there is nothing in my notes that states it's something I need or that my dr is concerned about. She also reassured me that he would not put implants in if I needed an uplift and he would have referred me to another surgeon they have.
However if I do feel I want one, then I would need to see a different surgeon in a new consultaion.

Go with your gut. Doesn't hurt to get a second opinion.
October 15, 2015
My gut is I don't actually need one. I think when you're all booked for surgery that time frame of waiting makes your mind go into overdrive. I've talked myself in and out of implant sizes more than I care to remember. Every so often I think I should go bigger
You're not alone with your post pregnancy breasts. ;) You've come to the right place for support. Feel free to join the November 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum to see if you perhaps find a surgery buddy along with some additional support. Let us know if you decide on a lift too. Looking forward to your updates!
