Hi Girls…. So while I am still at the Fitzroy ( as I am an overnight stay) i thought I would write about my experience now.
So i was checked in at reception and within minutes my nurse Rowena greeted me and took my upstairs to my room.
I have my own room and ensuite which is lovely. Can see the BT tower outside of the window so thats pretty cool too ! Anyway…..
So I had to put my gown, compression tights and slippers on and then do a urine sample ( to test for pregnancy)
My blood pressure and temperature was also taken.
At about 9.45 the anesthetist came in to see me, he informed me about the general anaesthetic and asked me questions regarding any allergies and so on.
At 11am Mr Marcellino came in to see me and marked me up with his marker ( thats when it all felt very real !!!)
– just to recap- at the consultation Mr Marcellino confirmed my breasts as Tubular ( see my patient story) and he would try for 375cc but if not 350cc and would do under the muscle)
However today on a more thorough look he said that due to the degree of tubular shape of my breast – that above muscle would be best for me and that although he would still try the 375cc, he thinks 350cc more realistic for my body)
So he left and then at 12pm on the dot the nurse came to get me and i walked with her down to theatre for surgery. There was about 5 people in there…. All very high tech in there… My stats on the white board…. They each introduced themselves and their roles and then the anesthetist came in and put the cannula in the back if my hand ready for the anasthetic which was fine. He made me feel very at ease Asking me questions while he Administered it ” what is my favourite alcoholic drink ” i said “baileys” and he said ” well this will be like having 5!” ” so as i could feel it working (actually felt quite nice) within 15 seconds i was out !
I woke in recovery & cried with happiness as soon as i looked down and saw them.
So i was taken to theatre at 12… Nurse said Operation started approx 12.30… Ended at 1.15ish woke up at 1.45ish and back in my room just after 2.15ish
I had toast and a cuppa about 3
Then another cuppa at 5ish with an avtivia yogurt ….
Drifted off to sleep
Now awake & feel immense pressure , not pain just pressure like a elephant is sat on my chest and pushing me back through the bed ! Have gown on still.. On a drip … Have a drain in each boob and strapping all over !
Trying to stay awake now so that i sleep tonight, so have txted all friends & family , been reading and relaxing &Looking forward to my chicken wrap for dinner 8pm ish.
Hope u all enjoyed this post .
Xxxxx

Glad it went well I’m getting mine on Sunday and love reading good stories likes urs ?x
so jealous you got to have yours today and I didnt :'( I should have been there with you! Do you know if you got 350 or 375 in the end?x
Hi Alice I am so sorry to hear tbat your op didnt go ahead. Bless you….. Awww.
I got 350cc in the end.
I have strapping all over them.
The first few hours was literally just presure and no pain…..
But the last couple of hours i have had the ‘twangs’ which is really freakin me out !
I just searched it in this forum and loads of girls talk about it and also the nurse is so reassuring ……
I have had one dose of cocodomol since the op…… So thats pretty good seeing as its been all day……..
Then a min ago a muscle relaxer tablet for the twinges ! They come in little clusters……. Some make me jump and i find myself sat all tensed up and holding onto the sheets like a rabbit in headlights !
Just for a twinge /twitch thing ! But they do hurt a bit !
My left one is more swollen tban the right too !
Thanks for the comments everyone !
Oh darn ! Typin this and now my cup of tea is cold !!
congrats on getting yours done! they look amazing! congrats 🙂
Glad your op went well, they look great!! My op is next Tuesday, I have the choice of 350 or 375 cc, hp unders! So excited ? Happy healing, keep us updated! xx
Thank you everyone ! I am just waiting to be discharged at about 10.30 when my family arrive to collect me ! So here is a little update …..
What a night! Literally had 2.5 hours sleep !
I managed to get a hour sleep 3am ish then of all things bit my damn tongue ??which woke me up wondered where i was and suddenly remember my new boobies !
So i was therefore awake again … Back was killing as so uncomfortable on a incline propped up ! So had to get the nurse to take me to the loo….?cant even flush the chain as it uses my arm so was nice when the nurse would then plump up the pillows for me and get me comfy again
??
My muscle was still twitching a bit so that kept me awake…. Then slept another 2 hrs from 5am and then was woken at 7am ….. For My drains to be taken out ??and while the nurse was taking them out and therefore had to undo some of the strapping she was kind enough to take it all of so me to have a proper look!
As all that i could see was two pointy puffy swollen nipples that were getting more and more triangular poking out !!!!!
So i got to see the full shape which was fab and put my mind at ease …. (I will try and upload the pic below) Then i was re-strapped . The left is the naughty one thats more swollen and nipples all puffy but i love them and it was good to meet them properly !
So now i am all ready in my own post operative bra on top of the strapping.
The nurse put it on for me and it technically doesn’t need to come off now until monday at 5 back in bristol with the post op nurse who will take the strapping off which is still all underneath…..
But honestly its lovely here and the nurses are fab Rowena has been a star to me especially ( she was with me the most ) but the night staff Jane was fab as well.
So chill, dont worry and enjoy the lead up ? and seriously – make the most of using arms and being active ! I feel useless at the mo ! Lol ! Worth it tho !
Hi, glad all went well and you’ve had good care 🙂
Enjoy your new additions and happy healing xx
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
Awwww @REBECCA well done on the good sleep….. Rowena is lush isn’t she.
Yep i still have my strapping on too…. Basically yesterday when i came round from the surgery i felt the same as you , i couldn’t see the main shape as my 2 ‘pointing in different directions’ nipples were ruining the effect ! Lol !
Obviously as i am Tubular and naturally pointy i am extra paranoid so when Marcellino came in to see me after the op ( about 3 hrs after) i was like
” is it normal that they are pokin out all pointy?”
” Are u sure the strapping isnt gonna squash them into this permanent pointy triangle ”
Etc etc
He was very reassuring and then readjusted it at one side ( to make it tighter !- ouch !) then literally ripped the tape down my cleavage area !
They are all just so confident aren’t they that makes ya think
“Blimey steady on that was rough don’t pop the implant !” But they know what they are doing……
So strapping was bloody tight all night but then this morning when Jane took the drains out as i was still having ‘pointy nipple panic’ she took the whole lot off for me to see while she did the drains and put a plaster where they had been etc .
So thats when i took the pic of them bare.
But i was soon fully strapped again hun….. So your not alone! Im glad now i have my post op bra on that at least its makin the nipple pointing out flatter ! Lol ! So feel more secure !
But same….. Cant wait to set then free from their straps on monday ! Would be fab to meet u monday…. We should cross paths….. Poke your head in the waiting room at the end of your and we can say hi as i’ll be just Going in!
We are on m4….. Almost home ….. Zzzz…… How about u !
I am off work until next tuesday …..
Gonna stay in until friday when have hairdressers to have cut and colour and a hair wash …… Yay !!!!
How do u feel now ?
I am so uncomfortable ! Not pain….. Just cant do anything….. Cant even comfortably reach forward to turn the crap on the radio down that my dad is playing !! Lol ! Xxxxx
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
Oooh you were a day case, cool….. Netflix to the rescue then eh! I’ll be doing the same…..got home at 3……. My daughter is 8 and a half and being such a little star….. She is putting pillows behind me and getting me water etc ! My mum is staying tonight to help as cant drive for the school run this week !
So pretty useless so she will stay at my mums for the rest of the week as i’ll be ok on my own by tomorrow to cope with the basics !
Bet you cant wait for your man to get home and help you too !
Blimey u r brave to get down in shallow bath i cant imagine getting out of a bath !
I had more cocodromol when i got home at 3 so they are kicking in now and literally just feeling tight uncomfortable annoying pressure and have back ache from sitting all day !
Keep me updated on your progress ! Good luck with the bath ….
I am just gonna put my feet in bath and do baby wipes i think.
I’ll try and private msg u my mob no so we can watsapp easier if u want …. Nice to have someone to txt at same point on booby journey !
Hey girls I need your advice!!
Yours look amazing Lucy! Congrats on your new boobies!!
Surgeon: Dr Marcellino
I am a small 32c and my BA is next Wednesday!! I’m still stuck choosing between 350cc or 375cc (moderate plus under the muscle)
I want to have a nice size boobs that look unreal in a bikini but I don’t want them to look disproportionate to my body as I am a 5’4″ size 4/6! I don’t want it to be really obvious I’ve had a boob job, I want the did she/didn’t she look!!
Oooh not long now then….. To be honest although i jad the choice of 325,350 or 375 unders….. On the day he was like …. Hummmmm…… The most i will fit in there is 350cc and i’ll do ‘over’ placement ! I was like …. Oh ! Ok ! Change of plan then ! The surgeon knows best….. He changed the plan for me as i am tubular so its so different for everyone ! But u sound tiny….. Where as i am 5’8″ and 10 and a half stone so on your tiny frame they would look big ….. But in a good way? Don’t know but know what u mean about the ‘are they or aren’t they’ thing ! I like that description ! Xxxx
@meganspillane hey Megan I’m also a size 4-6 but slightly taller at 5’7 and was a 32a I had 325 hp unders which are a nice size for my frame. I’ll try upload a picture so u can see. They look awesome when not clothed but when I’m dress they kind of look how they did b4 when I wore a really padded bra but that’s with the macom squashing them in!
I will say if your having unders you lose 25cc so had I known that b4 my op I would of gone for 350cc but other than than I’m very happy with mine! 🙂 I also wanted the natural look and for ppl not really being able to tell! Xx
Iv uploaded a b4 picture and also a few afters! Atm one Is dropping faster than the other so there a bit wonky but you can see the size
