I was a very empty droopy D before my op. I’m now a perk full F cup! You wouldn’t think I’m an F cup though. I was borderline uplift as had empty boobs post breast feeding. I seriously need to update my profile pictures but I do have some on there for you to see the beginning of my journey x

Hi! I can’t see any pictures but I think I was in a similar position to you. My incisions looked messy, bumpy and I was dreading what they where going to end up like. But at around 5 weeks I went to bed and woke up the next morning with completely flat incisions. It was the strangest thing but now I’m 7 weeks post op and they are looking great! Honestly stick it out. Pictures on my profile to show progress, feel free to add me! X

Hi I had 425/450cc high profile overs 7 weeks ago. I did however start as a empty d/DD due to breastfeeding and I was borderline uplift. I’m now measuring a F and very happy with my results. Sorry my before is very different to you but I think 425/450 implants are a great size! I need to update pictures on my profile but feel free to add me for pics 🙂 x

I had overs 7 weeks ago. I’m a single parent of a 21 months old. I had my mum with me for a week but she came down with a bug and I was basically on my own a few days afte my op. She lifted him in/out of his cot for me but otherwise I was completely fine. Honestly it’s nowhere near as bad as you read, I’m sure you’ll be fine. I was worried about tantrums as my little boy kicks and thrashes about but a 8month old should be easier 🙂 by 2/3 weeks I felt completely normal. Go for it! Good luck!! X

Hi 6 weeks 24 hours a day. I’m 7 weeks though and still wearing it until I see my surgeon on Thursday just to be safe. I was also recommended to wear it at night whenever possible to look after them 🙂

@stacey I didn’t feel any different to what I did before ? I only went on for 6mins though! X

I absolutely love my macoms. I took all of my other bras back and ordered a second Macom. I’m now 6 weeks post op and still loving it. I’m not even wearing a proper bra her as just find the Macom so comfortable and it’s definitely my support/comfort blanket! MYA2016 is a discount code you can use x

Hi @Alice. I’m 6 weeks post op and am a single parent of a 20 month old. I was reading so much on this forum and was actually petrified about the recovery and if I was being selfish etc but I can honestly say (I may of just been lucky) but after day 2 and after I stopped taking coedine I was perfectly fine. My mum was off for a week but unfortunately got a sickness bug a few days in so I had to manage. I just needed her to lift him in/out of his cot and obviously I wasn’t driving so that was fine. I could do everything else though. Lifting a full kettle was the other hard thing. I had overs so I may of been fortunate! Any questions please ask me 🙂 xx

I went on at 6 weeks post op. Oops ?

There’s a few ladies wanting them but the biggest I’ve seen on this forum is 550cc xx

@Janelle I agree it’s so addictive isn’t it. I also want vaser lipo to try and get rid of some of my stretched tummy after having my baby. You do just accept even slightly bigger than you had before don’t you then get used to them being bigger. I’m going to get measured in a bit as need a bra rather than this Macom to wear out at the weekend. I’ll be 1 evening off 6 weeks post op so I’m hoping I’ll be ok for a few hours! Xx

I would go for the bigger implant. It’s only 25cc difference and boob greed is a real thing. You get used to the swelling and are then sad when it goes down. I’m yet to see a post where somebody wish they went smaller. Already bigger or the biggest that they where offered xx

What are we all like?! I was offered 550’s and wish I had had them ?

@Janelle do you have ultimate boob greed like me? I tried on a E bra today and it fit. I was quite happy being measured a F/G and have to say I’m sad they’ve gone down to a E ? Xx

Sorry not unders but I had 425/450 overs with Mr.Marcellino. I was a empty D and was measured a F/G at 3 weeks post op. I’m not 6 weeks post op and say I’m a E. Sorry not unders like you asked but here’s a before/after pic x

I got measured a 34F/G at 3 weeks and now at 6 weeks post op I tried on a E today and it fit with space. I can’t say I was too happy about it but I would say wait or buy and return as they really have gone down 🙁

@Hayley thank you for tagging me in this 🙂 @Marie I think I can help 🙂 my pre op boobs look saggier than yours and I was a empty D/DD. My surgeon was Dr.Marcellino at Fitzroy London. He said I was borderline uplift and the more I went back the more he recommended a uplift but I just went for the BA as I didn’t want the scarring right now and I also wanted the chance to breast feed. I had my little boy nearly 2 years ago and plan to have another in the next couple so I will probably have an uplift then. Dr.Marcellino suggested a bigger high profile over implant to fill my empty skin. He offered 375-550cc. I chose 450 and needed one 425 one 450 to try and even out my asymmetry. I think I’ve got a great result. They look natural, full, feel soft and definitely aren’t saggy. Yes they have dropped but I think this looks more natural. With a BA you just have a bigger version of what you already have. So for me that’s uneven heights of my nipples and still some asymmetry (not clear in the picture I’ll upload). I’m 6 weeks post op Sunday and can’t wait to see what my PC and surgeon have to say. Incisions heeling nicely and I’ve had no pain or problems. I highly recommend Dr.Marcellino so maybe ask to see him. I didn’t see any other surgeons. He is short and sweet whereas I like to go over and over things but I guess he knows what he’s talking about so didn’t need too. Feel free to add me. I have lots of pictures of my journey and will upload more later xx (1st pic- most recent, 2nd pic- 2 weeks post op, 3rd pic- 2 weeks post op) x

I would highly recommend stopping the coedine and just taking paracetamol really regularly. I found cold flannels on the top of my boobs really soothing and great for swelling. Try and eat little and often. I stopped taking coedine on day 3 when I woke up feeling vile and wafted I did I felt soooo much better. Happy heeling x

I was told not to use this by my surgeon/nurse. I think every surgeon has their own rules etc though xx

Looking fab @Janelle I’m 4 week 5 days post op with 425/450 overs. They change so much! Xx

@Canddice thank you in this particular picture you can’t but in others it’s really noticeable. I do think I should of had 400cc in my left and 450cc in my right but never mind. I can make them look even and they definitely do in bras/tops. I think it is more natural to have slight differences anyway 🙂 x

@Lauren thank you! I was borderline uplift due to breastfeeding but I just went with the BA and so far in pleased I did. I was an empty D before (Dr.Marcellino’s judgement). I was measured a couple of weeks ago at a 32/34G. I did however fit into F’s in different brand bras. I didn’t buy anything I just couldn’t help myself. There’s absolutely no way I can fit into my pre op 34/D bras. I should think I’ll end up a 34F xx

@Amber thank you! 4 weeks 5 days post op pic attached. I think they are looking good x

@Nikki They look amazing! I’m 4 weeks 5 days post of and so ready to get back to my PT. I’m just going to hold out one more week but feel like I could do anything now and like you say I have just forgot about them already really and get on with life. Have you got a bra on with your black top/dress?? I want to wear something like that next weekend on a night out and I’ll literally be 6 weeks post op and I’m not sure if I dare go out without my Macom! X

Great result! I’ve been following your story too! I’m so scared this is going to happen to me but because I was borderline uplift and just went for the BA. I literally don’t want to ever remove my Macom bra lol. Good luck for October!! X

@chloesparkes I definitely did swell but the Macom is so versatile I didn’t need any other bras. I hated m&s ones and took them back and ordered another Macom. My nurse said they fit me perfectly and I went with my normal back size. I recommend getting your usual size xx

I’m nearly 5 weeks post op and mine are honestly so squishy and people are saying they look natural. Yes big 425/450 but suit my frame, have dropped well and are just like normal boobs to touch! X

@Harriet I’m 4 weeks post op too and I’m feeling much smaller. I know I’m being stupid and that they are a considerable size but when people say to me ‘oh they don’t even look that big’ I’m like ? I think basically we get used to them. Did you have unders or overs? I had overs so I don’t think mine will get bigger x

I’m a single parent of a 21 month old and I’m 4 weeks post op. I actually cannot believe how plain sailing this has all been. I thought I was going to struggle for weeks but there was no way I was laying around feeling sorry for myself or able too and I’ve been perfectly able to do anything. My mum had to lift my little boy into his cot for me as I knew I shouldn’t lift but otherwise I could manage perfectly well. I did have a friend wash my hair for me though as I tried to not lift my arms up/reach too much to aid my recovery. Don’t be scared about the post op it’s absolutely nothing compared to labour! Good luck xx

@chloesparkes I was told to go by your normal back measurement. I did that and have found my 34 macoms fit perfectly so I wouldn’t recommend going up a size x

@Kelly I think it looks like it’s heeled under there. How long post op are you? Have you had your main stitches removed? Mine where blue so I’m guessing you have x

I was also going to suggest an antihistamine cream or tablet. I would see a pharmacist. It’s quite common to be allergic to plasters so they will have different kinds to offer you. Your boobs look great though and I hope you become more comfortable in the next few days! X

Thanks @harriet I’m so relieved!

@Kelly mine where so bad and messy I’m absolutely sure they did look like that. I had quite a big hole at the end and questioned it with the nurse but she said give them time and I’ve pleased I have. I have lots of pics of them on my profile x

Hi girls I had my op 4 weeks ago. I have Tragus took belly and another in my ear. I had to take them all out and I had plastic bars in them for my op. It was no fun removing them my mum was sitting there with pliars trying to remove them it was such a pain as I’ve never removed them and had them in for years. but I’m pleased I did change them for plastic as I didn’t want to risk any metal burns and my surgeon refused to operate with them in xx

I’ve been hand washing mine daily and rotating one for day and one for night. I’ve been hand washing them in a Tesco product called ‘silk & delicates’ it’s a clear bottle with a baby pink lid. It’s made for hand washing and smells great. I’m definitely going to give them a machine wash though as I thought they where hand wash only. They dry really quickly btw!

I think they look great. I was really surprised to see such a noticeable different at 1 week. They are so much fuller and bigger!! I feel like mine are small and they aren’t. I think we get used to the swelling and expectations. I had to try on a post op bra tonight to make me realise what I had again! Honestly hang in there as I think they look fab. I wish mine where as high up as yours! X

Yes he does 🙂 but please don’t worry they are fine! This was the main part I was scared of but there wasn’t any need to be. They where out within seconds. Yes a weird sensation when removed but you’ll be pretty drugged up so not painful x

Hi! I’m sorry I’m not much help i.e stats etc I’m much bigger/taller and heavier than you but we have one thing in common and that’s empty top breast fed boobs. I had my ba nearly 4 weeks ago. I was borderline uplift but just went for a BA and have a good result. They are dropping but everybody says they look quite real. They are changing a lot this week but I have lots of pictures on my profile so feel free to add me 🙂 xx

I went on my own and had somebody pick me up 🙂

Looking amazing @Jess! Please continue to post updates as I love following your story! I literally cannot wait to be 6 weeks now xx

@Emily they are looking fab!! Especially for so early on. I think you are going to be my boob envy too lol! I saw a post on unders where they got so much bigger over a year and looked absolutely amazing!

@Janelle I also think yours are looking fab! It is true they do go from cone like to rounder 2-3 weeks post op. Mine are finally starting to look more even again!

@Jess thanks for the heads up on the app! It’s so frustrating not being able to upload big files!! X

@Emily do you have pictures on your profile? I find they upload on there but not on here when the file size says too big x

They look absolutely amazing!! You don’t look like you’ve had children x

@Jess thank you so much for your reassurance. I do think they have slightly evened out today actually but will be different again tomorrow! It feels like I’ve had them ages now so just need to be patient. I can’t wait to get them in a decent bra now and go out! Yours look so fab I hope mine turn out ok! X

Mine are so odd at 3 weeks post op! I did a post yesterday. My nipples feel really sharp when they are touched. Also I’ve been having shooting pains in them today (I guess nerves). I haven’t really had any pain so these sensations are new to me! X

I applied in the evening and got a call the next morning. I had my op 6 weeks after the call. I’m not too sure if there’s a time limit but there was op dates available before the one that I chose but I just couldn’t do those dates. X

I was also wondering about this! I haven’t been told to do it or not too but my friends where been told to massage theirs when they had them done x

They look amazing!! I’m 3 weeks post op and I am envious of your results. Mine are currently acting like sisters not twins that’s for sure and are very odd. I’m not sure how I feel about them today! X

I was borderline uplift and had overs. I had 425/450cc high profile overs. I have one child already. I’m actually starting to wonder if I should of had unders to have the extra support of the muscle. I wasn’t really aware of this before and now 3 weeks post op I’m wondering why I didn’t consider it. I think I would go for unders although I’ve had a perfect recovery and no pain with overs which is great whilst trying to look after a toddler! X

@Loulou86 can I ask maybe a stupid question but is rippling when you can feel your implants and sort of crinkling on them? I had high profile overs. I actually wasn’t aware of ultra Hugh profile. How comes there is a less of chance of rippling with these? X
