I would 100% go for the biggest size you’re offered because they look smaller once they’re in than when you’re trying on the sizers. I went for the biggest I could and I was worried that they’d be too big but now I think they’re tiny haha xx

I’m a Bristol patient, going back today for my second post-op appointment.

I also had an uplift with implants. I’m 5’7, size 10 and had 350cc overs. I’m nearly 7 weeks post-op and I think my scars look great! I’ll post a photo here if you like?

Yes you’ll need to sleep in your bra for 6 weeks. I would recommend getting the Macom signature bra, they’re good because all you need is your band size and the cup material just stretches to whatever size you are after your op. You get a discount through MYA as well if you’re with them. You can probably get cheaper post-…[Read more]

So I’m just over 3 weeks post op after having an uplift with implants.

Basically, the skin around my scars feel hard and bumpy and I’m just wondering if this is normal or whether anyone else has had this?

Thanks,

So when you meet the surgeon he’ll ask you why you want it done and what you’re expecting to achieve (the size and look of them, so whether you like the natural look or a bit more of a ‘fake’ look).

He’ll assess you and sort of feel what you have, I guess they feel what the breast tissue is like. The surgoen will take measureme…[Read more]

During your pre-op with the nurse they might do a blood test, I had one but I’m not sure if that was just because I was having an uplift as well as enlargement. They also take your blood pressure and things like that but I don’t think they do a mammogram- I didn’t have one and no one I know who has had a BA has had a mammogram xx

I was the same as you, I was given the choice of either 325 or 350 so I decided to have the 350cc.

I’m not sure what size I am yet as my op was only on 22nd June so only a couple of weeks ago but I would say go for the 350cc as the difference is minimal anyway and boob greed will settle in and you’ll wish you had the 350…[Read more]

I was like you, I didn’t think I needed an uplift until I met the surgeon but after he went through everything with me it made sense. With the implants alone, my boobs would just be bigger droopy boobs rather than small droopy boobs haha.

I had 350cc overs which is obviously bigger than what you girls want but I was 34b before (small/empty B though) and I’m hoping once they’ve healed that they’ll be a D or at least a full C.
