375cc overs done yesterday

So I had my BA yesterday with Mr Mahdi in Preston, so far I’m relieved and pleased with everything!
I was admitted at 8am and the first one in, it felt like a bit of a whirlwind because it was still so early but I’m glad it was over and done with.
Anaesthetists and nurses etc were really nice, woke up being put back in my bed from the recovery room but have no recollection of being in there. God knows what I was saying to them all!
I was pretty out of it for a while and that was one of the worst parts , because I wasn’t comfortable enough to sleep but my eyes were rolling and I felt so disoriented. This passed after a while and I was offered tea and toast which I managed to eat although was difficult as my mouth and throat were so dry. The pain wasn’t nice , I had ibuprofen and paracetamol which did help and then codeine later on which helped even more. It felt very tight and uncomfortable, but I found it’s miles better if you just breathe and relax your shoulders.
They checked on me regaukarly and my boyfriend came to pick me up at around 2pm. I managed to take myself to the toilet and get myself dressed (a zip up hoodie is needed, I had a Juicy tracksuit which was perfect and comfortable).
The drive home was fine and I slept with my V pillow on and off. Had a panic when I got in as there was blood under my left boob which had soaked through, I called the nurse at Deansgate clinic and she said to see her which we did as it’s only a 15 min drive away. She explained that maybe some movement when I was sleeping caused some collected blood to come out but she cleaned it up and put new plasters on and as it had stopped bleeding it was fine. Major panic at first though!
Managed to sleep ok, sat up with a pillow and a v pillow and it wasn’t too bad. This morning it feels very tight and sore and really hurts to sit up but will take some more codeine when I’ve eaten.
Will post pics where you can tell the left is more swollen and high, which the nurse said is totally normal. This morning they’ve evened out a lot.
Will post more progress pics. I didn’t take any “before” but the best I could find I’ve put on here. I was a very flat at the top 32b. 5ft8 size 8/10
Good luck everyone 🙂 x

Trying again with the pics ????

Hi Hollie hope you are recoving well , mine look very similar I’m 3DPO now and had 375cc overs too, how are you getting on do you have any recent photos ?xx

Hi Yasmin!
So .. long story short, I had a small blood clot in my left (you can see on the pic it’s much more square/ swollen) and had to have another surgery to remove it. They gave me a new implant and cleaned out the blood which they said had leaked initially on the day of surgery and then was stuck inside.
They look loads better now, I’ll upload some pics x
How’s your pain etc? Are you happy with them?

After surgery to remove 100ml blood clot in the left 4 days after initial op… now 1 week PO in total

Oh noway. How did you find out you had a blood clot ? I hope mine will be fine ???? I’m recoving well and pain is fine I feel it more on the morning. Yours looks great ???? how’s your recovery xx

I felt something was wrong cos my bruising on the left was SOOO bad it was literally black and it was way more swollen. I called the out of hours nurse and he asked me to email him pics, he then sent them to mr mahdi and he was doing surgeries in Preston so he asked me to go back down and he said he wanted to operate to check if there was blood in there and turns out there was!
I’m sure yours will be fine if you’re not in pain etc, are you happy with the size? After 1 week you’ll see they settle a lot more , xx mine hurt most in the mornings as well but I feel like I’ve hit a turning point now and the pain is so much better

Hi Hollie, amazing results!!! In one of your photos I can see you’ve got the same M&S sports bra as me & I was wondering what size did you end up getting, & also how comfy is it? My surgery is in November & I’ve bought a back size up but I’m worried it won’t be as comfortable as a proper post surgery one

Xx

Hey tiffany, thank you 🙂
I was 32B to start and Mya told me to buy 34DD. To be honest I still feel like it’s so tight although I’m still swollen so I’m hoping it’ll get comfier!
I had to have a further surgery to remove some internal bleeding so I think I’m more swollen than usual. Sometimes it really does feel so tight but the nurse said to me unfortunately this is necessary as it holds everything in place properly 🙁 the actual cups/ straps are really comfy though. From what I’ve read, people find every type of post surgery bra uncomfortable and these ones are really good how they zip up at the front. What size are you going? X

I’m currently a 32B & I’m having 300cc teardrop with a modified lift (tuberous 🙁 ) I’ve bought a 34D after my surgeon said to by a size up in the back to accommodate swelling. I’ve asked to look very natural so don’t really want to be too much bigger!! Xx

You’ll be comfy in an m&s one 🙂 are you going under the muscle? X

Yeah I’m having unders, my surgeon said I’ve got hardly any breast tissue – I thought I had quite a bit!. I’m stressing over 300cc being too big & considering 275 but I don’t know if anatomical implants look slightly smaller than round. So hard to imagine what you’ll look like! How have you found your size? Xx

Honestly don’t worry about them being too big. You get used to the size so quickly. I didn’t even want big implants, just a decent size enough to look natural, and now I wish I went for 400cc. He measured me up and offered me 350/375/400 so I thought going down the middle would be sensible. Unders look smaller than overs too so I’d say take your surgeons advice and don’t worry 🙂 I thought 375 would be too big for me but I love them.!! Especially as I always wore padded bras, I don’t feel majorly weird or uncomfortable in clothes either. One thing I will say is buy some ice packs.. it helps with bruising/ swelling and general pain xxx

Thank you Hollie, would you say that they are massively noticeable in clothes?? Or if you’re struggling to fit into clothes? I was so set on no more than 275cc when I was playing around with rice but it really didn’t look the same with a sizer!! 275 looked quite underwhelming. The 300cc looked massive but I’m hoping the implant would look somewhere inbetween the two once it’s inserted xx

To be honest it’s not crazy noticeable in clothes but that’s probs because I used to wear huge padded bras lolll. I’ll attach a picture of right now, I’m wearing a size 8 top that I used to wear. The difference between 275 and 300 is so small anyway so don’t be stressed about it, I was stressing too over 375 or 400 and now I’m being greedy and wish I got 400 🙁 I know my aunt has 425 but because they’re unders they barely look bigger than my 375 overs atm. Mine are slightly odd cos of my second surgery but I’ll attach another pic so you can see what they look like in and out of clothes xxx

I see what you mean! They look really good. They’ll look amazing when they drop. So many people have said to stop stressing over 25cc but I think I’m over thinking as per! Every aspect of this surgery I’ve researched into the ground. Even down to the V Pillow xx

Hey Holly! Have you got an updated picture of yours?! They look amazing and I’m considering 375 too! Would love to see how you’re getting on!

@tiffany heyy, When my consultant got my notes back from the surgeon he’d wrote 3 different sizes on them 350 375 400 just wondering would your consultant have done the same? Because if she has then your bigger size wil be ordered as well so you could ring and ask if you could go back an try them on again to make sure and if you decide togo bigger your implant should have already been ordered etc? I was seen at Manchester so I’m not sure if everything runs the same anywhere else but might be worth a try.
I decided on 400hp overs, but no I’m worried ima look stupid but iv seen loads of girls with that who look really good

@hollieph1994 wild boob ride for you but they look great chick!

Hi @rachelalicejohnson ,
Thank you! They’ve softened a lot now and swelling has gone. I’ll attach some pics. I’m currently 5 weeks p.o and my left which was re done will be 5 weeks on Sunday

Sorry, here’s a picture 🙂

Hiya Hollie, just wondering where did you get the all black post op bra from that you uploaded a picture of on 20th Sept please? Thank you!! Xxx

Steph, I’m only having the 300cc, no others will be ordered. I feel very comfortable with the size now. I’ve looked at a lot of anatomical implants online & now wondering if they’ll be big enough!!

Hey Hollie, omg they look fab! Bet you’re so pleased! They’re exactly what I’m after too! By any chance do you know why you got a blood clot? Were you at higher risk for any reason? I’m worried because of my contraceptive pill, they always tell me I’m at risk because of it! Xxx

Hi Olivia , it’s from m&s high impact sports bra , it was £25 xxx

@rachelalicejohnson ahhh I was unlucky I think. On the day of my surgery when driving home, I slept in the car with my left arm up a bit and when I got back it had bled. My surgeon etc thinks the clot came from this, as some blood stored internally. So don’t worry, this is just my experience , just make sure to take it easy. I think because I was on so many painkillers (I was still a bit loopy tbh) when I left the hospital, it didn’t hurt me to lift my arm to rest my head on my hand, so I felt comfortable doing it and it ended up dislodging the stitches slightly!
But they dealt with it really well, when I had a feeling something was wrong I called the out of hours nurse and within the hour I was back in Preston and they would have operated right away if I hadn’t just eaten a meal haha. I actually wish I’d gone for 400cc as I’m tall so I could definitely carry more, but think I’m just being greedy!

Thank you!!! Btw your results look great!! Xxx

Hi Hollie that sounds great im going for surgery on sunday im going with a 375cc high profile over the muscle and round implant im 5ft1 and im a 34b and i told my surgeon i want fuller and bigger boobs but not looking fake so he recommended me 375cc at first and i was so happy but then started seeing comments people saying was to small 375cc or huugge so i was a bit confused but seeing your pictures and your comment had made me feel like 375 is the right size for me and il be happy as i rather being a bit bigger then smaller.

Hey Jessica, I do wish I’d gone a bit bigger, so if you want them to look big I’d say 375 is a good size for you xxx good luck!

Thank you Hollie I’m short so I do think 375cc will be great I’m só nerves for the operation have everything all ready just waiting now for the day I’m super excited but so scared thanks girl for your help x
