I was in a lot of pain the day I had the plasters off and the day after, much better now – I carried on as usual and definitely did not split open ? Xx

It just means you’ve been accepted – they don’t take the first payment until one month after your surgery xx

My strapping came off 1 week post op X

My partner didn’t want me to do it, tried to talk me out of it several times and on the day of the surgery he was silent almost all day just sat there holding my hand. (He was very supportive of my choice just didn’t agree with it) I’m now 12 days post op and he loves them! Ha! Keeps moaning that I won’t let him touch them – said its like giving a kid a Christmas present and not letting him open it! ?.
He has been great and really helped me these past couple of weeks..
You have to do what makes you happy ❤️

It depends on them surgeon – some of them don’t use strapping etc – mine did – I couldn’t see anything until one week post op X

Hey, I was a 34b and had overs with Marcellino – it’s hard to explain but he said to me you can have overs if you can pinch an inch of tissue at the top part of your breast tissue, at the top part of your boob above your nipple near your cleavage. (Not that I had any form of cleavage pre op!) then you can have overs ..

Hope that helps xx

@shannen24 I’ve put a pic on my profile – its sideways but it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve rotated it, it still comes up sideways! X

I went and saw Marcellino three times as I was convinced I wanted unders as I wanted a natural look but he said as I had an inch of ‘pinch able tissue’ on my boobs it wouldn’t make a huge difference, overs generally move around more and can give you a cleavage where unders won’t if you don’t already have one.. Which can appear more natural.
Marcellino was adamant that he wouldn’t give me unders as the recovery time is generally longer and it’s more invasive which he won’t do unless it’s necessary.
My pictures won’t load on my profile – or if they do they are upside down, but I’m really happy with mine!
They are still a bit swollen and round, but they are a lot less pointy every day and I’ve fallen in love with them..

Ultimately each surgeon is different but if you are very clear on what you want, they are the best people to decide which will give you the best results. Whilst I googled A LOT, eventually you just have to listen to what they suggest.
I’ll see if I can add a pick to this convo xx

Car park on Bloomsbury square – says it’s a 24 minute walk to Fitzroy so you may need to get a taxi xx

I did mine on the app and booked it from 0700-2000, I booked mine two days before. I’ve just looked on the app now and there is another place for £12.40, if you need to you can go onto your account and extend it if the car park allows as well…
Or my PC suggested calling local hotels and asking if you can pay to park in their car park xx

I am 9 days post op, I had Marcellino – I had 350cc mod plus overs – and so far can’t compliment him enough – he listened to what I wanted and was patient (I had three consultations with him in total as I was nervous) so far I love my new boobs, still have dressings on the incisions so can’t see those, and they a still a bit swollen etc but marcelliono himself was lovely. I’d definitely recommend him. I’m currently trying to add some pics to my profile, so feel free to add me xx

Could try an ice pack? I used them all the time and really found they help? Just make sure you put something between you and the pack so it doesn’t make you wet.. Hope you find something to make you more comfortable Xx

I had overs (I’m 9 days post op) but I found day two the worst – I think it’s because the anaesthetic has worn off.. Are you taking co-codamol that made me really dizzy and sick, once I stopped taking that I generally felt much better and was able to handle the pain. It will all start getting better soon!! xxx

Hey – I also used just park and parked at Euston station.. I walked from the station to MYA in the morning took less than 10 mins.. I actually walked back to the car in the evening as well, but that’s because the taxi wouldn’t let me in after I vomitted outside as they were pulling up.. ?.

Good luck tomorrow!! X

Oh bless you! I feel ok, just tight and uncomfortable.. Been in bed most of the day watching rubbish on tv and Netflix! Currently sat with an ice pack on which I find helps with the pain.
I was not a day case so got home around 22.00 last night.
Waiting for my other half to get home from work – I’m hoping to have a shallow bath as I feel gross But need him here to help me out!
Hopefully you will find it easier to sleep in your own bed tonight X

Oh wow @lucy-2! Yours look amazing..
Mine are still strapped down, can’t see a think except wonky nipples, Marcellino was adamant it was the strapping but I won’t be convinced until it comes off..
I may see you on Monday, my appointment is at 16.30 at Bristol. I managed to sleep quite well from 22.00-0300 when I woke up to use the toilet, I then managed to sleep until 0500 so can’t complain.
My nipples are also swollen and puffy, but neither boob is worse than the other I don’t think, although haven’t taken my Macom bra off since Rowena put it on me yesterday ?.
Good Luck recovering!!!! May see you Monday X

@rosieee it’s terrible isn’t it, I feel hungover today, the anaesthetist wasn’t joking when he said I’d feel like I’d had a few too many.
Drains coming out isn’t nice, but it was over quickly and pain soon went away..
I left MYA around 1900 last night.. So nice to sleep in my own bed.
Today I’m just resting, surrounded by pillows with lots of cheesy Christmas films!

Alice, I really feel for you, I hope you get all of the answers you are looking for soon! xx

@fleckers23
Sorry I didn’t reply yesterday.. I felt so ill after my op – boobs were fine but I almost fell over twice because I was so dizzy after the anaesthetic I constantly had my head over a sick bowl!
Anyway..
Op went well, ended up having 350 in left 325 in right due to assymtery.. They definitely look bigger, the strapping is making my nipples look really wonky! Can’t wait to get this off.
Pain wise I’m doing ok, am still taking paracetamol and ibuprofen every 4-8 hours) managing to get in and out of bed k, but I wasn’t expecting this numbness..both my boobs and nipples are numb.. I was expecting it with the nipple, but now I’m just dreading when the feeling comes back!
So sad that you weren’t allowed to be there with us yesterday.. Any news on your refund? X

Oh Alice, so gutted to hear this ?! I’ve seen a few girls on here say their op has been cancelled or postponed last minute! Hopefully they get everything sorted ASAP. xx

I’m 7.30 too!
Hopefully see you there! Getting nervous now! X

Hey girls, do any of you have your op time yet? When I met with Marcellino and my PC last week they said I’d receive a phone call with my time on Monday (yesterday) and I haven’t heard anything yet.

Wow, they look great!
I’m meeting With Marcellino tomorrow to discuss unders or overs again, will let you know how I get on!
Two weeks today!

@penza1 that would be great! I have also searched and searched and haven’t found much.
@fleckers23 I think you could be right.. I’ve not seen many photos post op months down the line when everything has settled so only really know what to expect from the few weeks after which doesn’t give an exact picture.
Hopefully Mr Marcellino will put my mind at rest on Tuesday ?

Hey girls! I am also having my ba on the 7th December with Mr Marcellino – having 325-375 (said he will decide on the day) mod plus overs..
Getting nervous now!!!
I have another consultation next Tuesday as I’m after a natural look and everything I read says I should have unders???? So confused!
