Luckily I planned it so I had my op in the summer hols but I would say I’d have been fine to go back after 2 weeks 🙂 you’ve done the right thing planning for 2/3 weeks off rather than only one. Obviously everyone’s recovery can vary a bit but I think you both should be fine x

I also have tubular breasts, sometimes I think I should have gone slightly bigger (had 275 & 300 implant size) however because they do still sit to the side idk if bigger would have actually been between. Either way, I am now 7 months post op and I love them and it’s the best t…[Read more]

I’m now 6 months post op and wear them for the gym 😊

That part will honestly be over so quickly. My surgeon took one look and a couple of very quick measurements and made a…[Read more]

I was 34a/aa and had implant sizes 275 and 300. I have tubular breasts so they sit to the sides which is a bit annoying and cost an extra £500. I do think I’d have gone slightly bigger if I knew how I would look now, but I remind myself of what I had before and I am ju…[Read more]

Had smaller implants – 275 & 300cc due to assymetry but actually would have gone slightly larger if I’d have known how they are know. However I am measuring a 34c/32d now and compared to how I was before I am so so happy! Best thing I ever did. Hope everything goes well for y…

Hope all goes well for you 🙂

Really didn’t like the idea of a ‘foreign object’ being inside my body – I don’t even like blood tests because I feel the metal of the needle shouldn’t be in my arm.
I’m now almost 4 months post op and it just does not bother me! There is the very occasional feeling (not pain) where I’m like oh that’s not real, but I am just s…[Read more]

Hope that helps a bit 🙂

I wasn’t able to see my surgeon at my 6 week po appointment, just a nurse, and she said I can’t wear an underwire bra until I’ve seen the surgeon however I don’t know when that will be. When has everyone else been told they can wear an underwire? My boobs sit to the side so I’d like to be able to give them a bit more shape! Also, how…[Read more]

You can fly short haul after 4 weeks but still have to wear a sports bra so it rules out having a sunbathing type holiday. I waited quite a…[Read more]

That should reduce swelling. If that doesn’t work or you’re worried then just ring your clinic I’m sure they will calm your worries 🙂

To help with recovery: a travel pillow to help sleeping upright, button up shirts/dresses, dry shampoo, leave nothing that you will need in a high up cupboard!
