I had aa breast augmentation done late September 2019. I loved them for years! But then I had a pregnancy from Sept 2021 – May 2022, and was also diagnosed with an endocrine disorder which can make me pile on weight. This combination has resulted in some weight gain and my breasts completely changed shape, you can’t even tell there’s implants…[Read more]

Like Holly said, there’s also risk of infection, and people’s nipples can stretch and change shape after surgery because of the implant, its size and positioning. Unfortunately if you don’t take it out, they’re in…[Read more]

From what I’ve read the biggest overall size you can get with silicone implants is 1500cc, after that you would need saline implants doing instead.

This is only from what I’ve read here on…[Read more]

Cost depends on lots of things such as what clinic you go through, any additions to your procedure like premium implants/overnight stay at the hospital and if your surgeon…[Read more]

Luckily for me, my recovery seems to be going…[Read more]

I’ve booked off 7 days and my manager has put me straight onto a long…[Read more]

When I asked mine she also said to make sure to get a band size bigger to accommodate the swelling which might be why yours feels tight. I’m a 34B but I bought an M&S post op bra size 36F, a band size bigger and the cup size my PC told me I needed for 450cc implants so your…[Read more]

I’ve also heard under the muscle is more painful and takes the longest recovery just because they have to adapt and stretch round the implant (I’m fortunate to have enough room for overs but have been constantly worrying about the recovery process).
To go from struggling to do even the…[Read more]

I got my admission time on Thursday for 7AM but it’s practically impossible to meet and, considering I’m a night case, is unnecessarily early. I asked my PC about organising a later time after much research figuring out a way of getting there and she said I’m a day case and need to be one of the first operated on when I’m not??

I think everyone’s told about the “dropping” part because we’re warned not to get worried that the implants sit so high immediately after surgery but I didn’t hear about “fluffing” until the other day.
From what I’ve read, it seems to be when the implant fills out the bottom of the breast properly once…[Read more]

I’m having 450/425cc implants (HP, over the muscle), super excited but this uncertainty about time and travel and money is making me nervous lol xx

That sounded like it makes sense but I’ve just got a response from my PC and she said I’m a day case and I have to be one of the first operated on even though I’m a night case, my pre op nurse informed me about staying overnight and being escorted home the next day (even specified that my partner can’t stay over with me so I’ve…[Read more]

I’ve left an email for my PC but I didn’t want to seem ungrateful, I’ve read a lot on this forum that an early admission is a blessing (probably because most day patients would prefer it and get discharged and home sooner to rest). While it’d be lovely to get back to my room for the night sooner, especially when I’m…[Read more]

I’ve just received my admission time for my BA next Sunday at MYA Fitzroy with Dr Tsekouras and it’s at 7AM! Considering I have to spend over 3 hours travelling to London, is it possible to ask for a later admission??

I’m a night case so I’m not sure why I’ve been given such an early admission time anyway, but I’ve just looked at…[Read more]
