I had 300 unders and am 3mpo.
I am a worrier and over thinker, and I always assume the worst!!
If I’m being honest I was really upset for 1-2 weeks after my surgery, my pain was a 2/10 but my body just didnt feel ‘right’ (I really think…[Read more]

My surgeon said he sees around 2 patients a year who are sick and have their symptoms get better after explant. I do believe it exists, but there are also thousands of women who get BAs who just carry on with their lives and are fine.
My surgeon said it is due to…[Read more]

I’ve had GA before for something different and was the same. Don’t worry about it, you will feel like yourself after 2 weeks. They use a lot of strong drugs when they put you to sleep and I think it takes its toll on your body, along…[Read more]

The worst thing about GA is the worrying you end up doing about it. While I was being put to sleep the man asked me what I was so scared of and I said ‘not waking up’, and he said that had never happened…[Read more]

I’m not sure what profile I had I just let my surgeon choose and they turned out great!

If you do the rice test with a sports bra with no padding and see what you think, mine turned out almost the same as the rice test, maybe a tiny bit smaller. I would be very surprised if you didn’t go up 1 cup size at…[Read more]

I’m only 3 weeks post op so it’s possible mine will get bigger with drop & fluff.
I would say they look now similar to before – except I’ve swapped the padding for silicone! I wore a lot of padding before so they don’t look hugely different with clothes. It depends on what you want to…[Read more]

But the worst part of it is the worrying, the whole thing turned out perfect, the pain for me was about 3/10 totally manageable (had unders). I wish I had relaxed more because everything went smoothly and there really…[Read more]

I’m now 3wpo and it’s all gone. I wouldn’t assume it’s an allergy to the implants, your body has gone through a lot, but would definitely carry on with your antibiotics unless your surgeon tells you to stop! xx

Also older types of implant can rupture more easily, meaning silicone can travel outside of the capsule and cause side effects. I’ve booked my BA on 4th September and decided to…[Read more]

Nikki have added you would love to be in the whatsapp group I’m booked for september 4th x

Did you consider teardrops? My surgeon suggested them for a more natural shape as I am flat chested but not sure xx

Have you tried the rice test? I tried 300 rice and they were perfect, also my surgeon was worried he would struggle to fit the 325 in. I’ve picked 300 but not sure if that was right.
I know the difference is tiny and you would…[Read more]

I am very confused why in the UK we mainly used textured but in the US they seem to use smooth. I definitely trust my surgeon but he did say he would order smooth if I felt more comfortable. Going to give it some more thought but just want the safest option xx

Now I just need to decide what implants I want

Surgeon has offered 280-320cc nagor implants, partials. He says he has only ever used textured and never used smooth before. I originally thought I wanted smooth because textured can cause BIA ALCL. I think textured are good to prevent CC but only if…[Read more]

But dont want to regret not getting them done because I’ve always wanted to do it and I know they’ll look great. Just wish there was more research!! Part of me thinks all these horror stories can’t be made up, there must be some…[Read more]
