320 UHP Partials. 5’3 – 8st – 30A currently. Started by: Chloe

I feel like I’ll obsess the same! I’ve wanted to have the surgery for so long I think I’ll never stop looking at them lol!
Ideally I’d like to settle at about a C cup, but I know you can’t get an exact sizing until they’re fully healed. I couldn’t find anyone with similar stats to me so I got super worried about if the implants I’d chosen would be too big (even though my surgeon suggested this specifically to match what I asked for!) but I’m so happy to hear you both love how yours are healing up and I’m feeling more confident about my decision!
I just want to have my surgery now! I think the waiting is the worst part!

Similar to me!! What profile implant are you having? You do lose a little size having partials/unders but I don’t think it’s a big difference… because of that though, some surgeons will offer the next size up with the implants to compensate for it. I was too small for that though 😭 320 was the biggest for me! But I know they’re going to look amazing! Just a week and a day to go now! I’ll definitely be posting some before and after photos!! All the best for your consultation!! 😊

I was the same, I wanted high profile and I knew that’s what profile I’d probably be offered. On my e-consult with my surgeon he said high profile which I was obviously happy with but then when I went for my in person consultation he measured me and changed his opinion to UHP! I didn’t even know that existed lol! The ‘ultra high’ worried me but after looking at some before and afters I’ve realised they aren’t ‘fake looking’ (depending on size and personal body weight, preference etc) but are just slighter narrower around the base for girls with a smaller chest. High profile would bulge out around my sides and not give me the look I’m after!
I’m very excited!!! Only 6 days now, longest days ever!!x

I think it will! No idea what time I’ll be admitted, but I am staying overnight so will probably be afternoon time! I bet you’re excited, I can’t stay still lol!x

Yep!! On my way currently, about 20 mins away but my admission time is 12:45 so I’ll be early! Will post pics before/after when I can! Might be tomorrow depending on how today goes!x

Hey again!! I’ve attached my before and after! I’m only 2 hours post op, so swelling is starting, and I have my post op bra on so you can’t exactly see much! But I thought I’d post some photos anyway for everyone 😊x

Thankyou 🥰 I definitely will! I’ll be taking a photo everyday to see the difference! 😊xx

Thankyou!! The swelling has definitely started now. I’m really happy and I haven’t even seen them properly yet!x

Back again! So I know I said I’d post once it’s been a week but I’m excited about how they look so far so I had to post! I can tell already my left boob is going to drop before my right, on the photos you can see my right side is still quite swollen but no problem! I know they don’t heal and drop/fluff together!
Just an update with how I’ve been recovering, I’d definitely say day 2 was the toughest for me! My bra (which I’ve now found out was fastened too tight) literally stopped me from breathing properly, especially with the swelling it was a big struggle! Me being the stress head I am, didn’t think I could adjust or even touch my bra (apart from changing) until I go to my post op appointment! But this morning I couldn’t suffer anymore and I changed my bra clasps onto the middle line (they were on the tightest from the day of my op) and I feel so much better! I can breathe without feeling like my lungs are being pinched! I’ve had a few moments where I’ve worried about how they’re looking, especially cause my right one is still so swollen, whereas my left looks like it’s healed already! But it’s literally day 4! I keep telling myself to stop being so silly! 🤣
I’d say day 1-2 literally don’t do anything! My swelling came up pretty quickly but when you think it’s at it’s worse, it isn’t! My incisions were feeling quite itchy too and I was worrying over how tender under my armpits was, it literally felt like sunburn! My bra would rub against my skin when I moved and it burnt! (Learnt that this is absolutely normal and nothing to worry over! Just means nerves are stitching themselves back together!) The journey home for me was fine, I wrapped a pillow around me for protection! 🤣 I felt fine within myself, obviously my boobs were just sore and very tight!
Day 3-4 I started feeling a lot better, I haven’t even had any pain meds today which I’m very happy with! Still very tender under my right armpit (gonna call it the sunburn cause it’s exactly what it feels like!) my left side feels absolutely fine! I get the shooting pains and gurgling air bubbles but no pain, no tenderness, I’m quite shocked! Seems like my right side is taking one for the team! Sucks cause I’m right handed too! 😢 but I can pick things up, move my arms enough to wash my hair and have a shallow bath (no showers yet). My swelling is going down a lot each day, again, I was expecting 2 weeks of pain but surprisingly it’s way better than I thought! I won’t sugar coat it, first couple days were very tough for me and I had the the thought of ‘why the hell did I do this’ but I’m feeling better each day and seeing how they’re changing every morning, I can confidently say it’s already the best thing I’ve done for myself!
Antihistamine tablets slightly take away the sunburn (no idea how) but I read it helped some people so tried it and it helps a little! My nipples are mostly numb but have slight feeling to them, the underside of my boobs are completely numb still but everywhere else is back to normal!
I did have my first look today when I had my bath, I love them so much!! They feel massive, I’m probably sporting a D cup at the moment, when swelling goes down I’ll probably be a C cup which is absolutely fine for me 😊
My post op appointment is Monday, so I’ll make another post then! Sorry this is so long but like I said, I love reading detailed posts, not only does it ease some worries I have but I love following other people’s journeys 😊
Wishing all the best to anyone who’s having an op soon! Will post again on Monday!! 😊x

So I’m back! I had my post op appointment today! The nurse took my bandages off and said my incisions are healing nicely! No complications or worries over anything, put some new bandages on (which I can take off Sunday after I’ve showered) and then I’m done with them! I had a couple questions (which I’ll get to later) but she calmed me down! Said everything looks fine, even complimented me and said the size I’ve had is perfect for me which honestly made me feel really good 😊

Okay so carrying on my last post, this will be extra long so sorry in advance:

Day 5 – This day started my deep dive into forums and google lol! Up until this point, my pain had gotten a lot better and my boobs were feeling soft and squishy, my skin just felt a little tight when I moved. The morning I woke up this day, my muscles were tight, painful, felt like they were on fire!!! So of course, I google and it’s bringing up ‘capsular contracture’, ‘bleeding under the skin’ all sorts! For the days after I talk myself out of panic and back into it but I thought I’d ask my nurse at my appointment, obviously she’s seen it all so if it’s something bad, she’ll help me! It was more so on my right side but I’ve accepted that with me being right handed, the muscles are stronger and will hurt more than my left 🙄
My incisions were itching me like crazy on and off all day, my ‘sunburn’ was still the same but my boobs were looking less puffy and I was just excited for my post op appointment!

Day 6 – My muscles were even tighter today, again the same burning pain when I moved. Honestly I thought the more rational thing would be that I’d maybe damaged or pulled my muscle, even though I haven’t moved my arms much in fear that I mess everything up! Maybe I’d stretched a little too far in my sleep or maybe pulling myself out the bath I’d pulled a little too hard? Manyyy things were running through my head.
My nipples as well were super sensitive! Again I knew this was common but you can’t prepare yourself for it 🤣 I’ve been putting moisturiser on them and they feel a lot better, it just helps soothe them!
My sunburn as well, started feeling better! My skin was still sore and tingly when I touched it, but it felt less so than the day before, so I was happy with that!
Another thing I haven’t seen much about is bruising, so all in between my boobs is yellow and has been since day 5 really, I’m not sure if this is maybe different person to person? I do tend to bruise quite easily and I am very pale so I guess it’ll show up more on me compared to others, but all the after photos of people I’ve seen I didn’t see one slight bruise!!! It doesn’t hurt, just looks nasty 🤣

Day 7!!! One week wooo!
My muscles were still hurting, my panic was due to no one else mentioning this! My dad was saying ‘everyone is different’ so I needed to stop worrying. On all the posts I’ve seen, and I’ve been through a lot, everyone’s said ‘every day I’ve felt better!’ Never ‘some days were worse’ so I thought it’s all gone wrong! Day 3-4 my pain was pretty much gone and my boobs didn’t hurt (just the sunburn) so I was scared that I had pain again! I had partials too and it’s my pec muscles that were hurting, so I thought ‘they didn’t hurt before so why now?’ But I calmed myself down, kept ice packs on and figured I’d ask Monday, the nurse will be able to look at me and know if this is normal or not! Muscle spams started as well and they aren’t fun at all and I was quite sore under my incisions and around the sides of my boobs, I also had the feeling of popping or like gurgling in my boobs, just air bubbles but feels so weird!

Day 8 – I wasn’t too bad this day, muscles felt the same way, I went back into panic mode because my right side felt firmer than my left (even though it’s been like this since day 1) I feel tighter as well when I’m breathing deeply or moving, my skin and muscles pull a little more but nothing too painful. I started to do mini exercises as well, just to help stretch my muscles a little. I didn’t do anything dramatic, I’m still worried I’ll affect my healing, it’s not my surgeon recommending this but I was reading up and a lot of people say to do this to stop your muscles from cramping up. You can google and find some sites to follow pretty easily, it’s mainly just stretching your arms slowly to help use the muscles a little and helping to keep them active.
Also my sunburn is pretty much gone! So if anyone else has this I can promise it gets better!

Day 9! So today at my appointment, I took my bra off and had some photos taken, then I lay down on the bed in the room and just had my bandages changed and my incisions checked on! The two questions I had were ‘my muscles hurt after I had no pain for 2 days so what have I broken!!!’ and ‘my right side is way more firmer than my left side which I know you’ve said is normal but this can’t be normal!!!’ My reply was (worded a lot nicer than this) ‘you’re fine, stop worrying’ 🤣 it’s normal for your boobs to be squishy one day and rock solid the next, it’s healing! I’d never been told this so I didn’t expect it which sent me into panic but they change so much each day, you only see how they look and feel but imagine what’s happening internally! Now, I’m definitely not saying, if you have a concern don’t ring or ask someone, if you’re worried or scared ring them! You’re not bothering them, it’s for your peace of mind and possibly to catch something that could be potentially bad in the future! I just know my mind stresses itself out so I waited until my appointment to ask!

So that’s me at the moment! I’m not stressing over anything now (unless something drastic happens) I’m so happy with how they look, I’m taking photos every single day and looking at the past week I feel like they’ve dropped a little and look closer together (probably the skin and muscles healing/relaxing) but the photo I’ve attached is my before, my immediate after and then how I’m looking now with and without my bra 😊 (also excuse my bandages and pen still on me, I took the photo this morning!!)

I can’t express how much happier I feel within myself, my confidence has blown itself out the water and I’ve had a smile stuck on my face for the last week! My surgeon, Mr Mahdi, doesn’t get enough recognition! He was absolutely amazing start to finish and my boobs just show how good he is!
I’ll update again at 2 weeks PO as now my healing will be pretty slow, I’m wishing everyone who’s had/having an op all the best! And a speedy recovery!

Any questions just ask! Will post on Sunday 😊x

I’m now a little over 3 weeks post op! I’m back to work as normal, just cautious over how heavy some things are that I’m lifting. I’d say the first 2 weeks are the most intense, this past week I’ve hardly felt any discomfort. My muscle will slightly pull if I stretch a little too far but it feels weird more than anything. The only 2 things I can say I’ve experienced this week is overly sensitive nipples and achy boobs, as if I was due on my period or just a little hormonal. It’s not painful, they just feel quite heavy and sensitive, I’m pretty sure this is just my nerves healing!

I’ve noticed a little change, they’re sitting lower (I’m not convinced they’ve ‘dropped’ yet though) and they’re a LOT softer to touch! They move way more than they did a week ago and it’s really nice to know they’re settling in, also they’re looking a little bigger? Not sure if this has happened to anyone else?

My right side is still slightly more swollen and round but has been since day 1 but I’ve noticed up towards my collar bone, the majority of the swelling has gone! My incisions are healing nicely! Honestly some parts look almost completely healed!

I have a question though if anyone could answer? When were you allowed or told you could put cream/oil on your incisions? My nurse at my pre op just said everywhere but the incisions but I completely forgot to ask when it would be okay to actually apply cream to them! I’ve searched online and some girls said from 3 weeks but some said not for months! So I have no clue!

I’ll attach a photo that I took yesterday 😊

I am super happy! I think my left boob is starting to drop, as looking at them this morning my nipple looks higher than the right and the curve seems to sit a little lower! I’m really excited if that’s the case!

Yours look really good! I’ve definitely had boob greed, especially cause I got used to the size of them when they were big and swollen, now they seem half the size! But like you said, I should be really happy cause before I had nothing there!

So I’m now 1 month PO! Honestly I can’t believe how fast the time has gone! Looking at them I always think not much has changed but then comparing photos from only a few days ago they look so much different!

I can’t say for sure as everyone is different and I feel like it’s still early, my left side might be dropping? I’ll attach a photo but the left side looks a lot softer to me, the bottom curve looks slightly lower and seems to be flatter at the top compared to the right? I mean I do think the angle I took the photo isn’t the best and does make my right boob look more rounded than how it looks in person, but I was trying to show my incisions too! Just because, the incision on my left side is right where the crease of my boob will be and looks a lot flatter but the right side is still slightly on the underneath of my boob and looks more rigid, which is why I’m thinking the left side is dropping? Also (I made the stickers slightly smaller to show this) but my left nipple is a little higher also. It could just be that my right side is still a little swollen and since day 1 I’ve known the right side is the ‘delayed’ side but I thought I’d post and see if anyone else agrees/disagrees?

Like I said I can’t say for sure as honestly I have no idea!! But it’s usually between 4-6 weeks when they start ‘dropping’ and I know it’s months before they fully settle but I am still wondering if it’s starting to happen!

Still so in love with them, still sensitive and achy at times but I’ll never regret having them done! 🥰
