Hmm in need of a bit of reassurance girls

Well I have booked my date but i’m still stressing out… and feel more worried than anything at the moment. I’m just so scared of something going wrong, having to have reops, not being able to afford it etc etc Its such a long term commitment, and I honestly have no idea what position i will be in in 5-10 years time.

I know that if all went well i would be thrilled and so glad I did it. I also know that i am ultimately signing up to more surgery down the line, and i don’t mind if its in 10+ years.

I am completely flat atm and hate it, so i know this surgery would make me happier if all went well…

But at the same time i keep thinking i’m being selfish. And that putting something artificial into a healthy body can’t exactly be a good thing… what if it screws me up or stops me doing something i love (like running!) Capsular contracture is what i am most worried about…

SO PO girls- i need a bit of reassurance…

Did you have these doubts beforehand?

Are you glad you did it?

Can you do EVERYTHING you could do beforehand? (obvs after 6wks)

Do you ever stop worrying about them once they’re in?!

only you can decide how much it means to you hunnie! I did it because I constantly woke up every morning hating my boobs. I needed to do it for myself! I researched all the risks and accepted them, I just think my self esteem outweighed my fear. I have two small children so did feel selfish putting myself in a situation of general anesthetic but when you look at the percentage of it going wrong you are more likely to get knocked down by a car!!

I took time in choosing a surgeon and a clinic which offered good aftercare so I would be covered should something go wrong!

I have had my boobs for 11 days now and love them so much…they have already made a huge difference to my confidence and ive not shown 3 people so far! I am really glad I did it and although a little tender im back to doing everything for myself! xx

My opinion (for what it’s worth!) is research the types of implants you can have, if you’re a keen runner and dont want them getting in the way, look at small or mid sized implants, the bigger they are the more they do get in your way but it won’t stop you doing the things you love. I had natrelle implants because they reduce the risk of cc and rippling, and have a lifetime rupture guarantee so less chance of needing a reop (although changes in your body may make you want a reop down the line, but that depends on how you look after them as well, good sports bras etc). I had my implants at 35 and have no intention of having a reop, am hoping these last me!! I’ve had mine 7 months and although they’re bigger than I’d planned, they don’t top me soon anything I did before. I had no doubts but then I’d spent over 10 years planning to have the op so I couldn’t wait to have them. Everyone worried about the outcome to a certain extent, but this forum has so many girls that are happy to help and pass on their advice and experiences which is so reassuring. Good luck!

Hi hun

Your bound to be nervous and worried its only natural & I’m

Sure all girls go through it! But it’ll all be worth it in the end.

I’m only 2 and 1/2 weeks PO and have had complications & may need re-op but I still don’t regret it and my surgeon said in 6 weeks it’ll all be sorted and I’ll be ok.

I already love my boobs even tho one is massively swollen lol & I can do almost everything now at 2 & 1/2 week ….. I could

Prob go the gym but been advised not to yet.

Chances are it will all be fine & you’ll heal quickly but try not to worry as what ever happens the nurses & staff are there to help you & whenever your worried you can come on here as this forum will be a great support

For any questions or reassurance …… We are all

In this together & here to help each other

You’ll be fine and love your new boobs

davvy im 2 weeks po and dont even think about em anymore (really) i wont lie for me it was intense pain for about the 1st week then its a bit uncomfortable now im fine, its painful to lift my kids. I dont have any doubts they look amazing and clothes look lovely now, go for it!id say the more time you spend on this forum wont do you any good way too much negativity! hope this helps

I’m getting myself so upset with this. Seriously thinking I may cancel I don’t help myself by going and reading all the horror stories on the internet. It just seems so many people have problems with them.

It really is how you feel hun & this forum can be a blessing and a pain as u hear way too much negativity!!

My problems have been no fault of my surgeon & he’s been 100% supportive ….. Mine was a massive op as they were so saggy & I knew that to get them equal & both Lookin good was gonna be a long haul but to me it’s all worth it as I hated them before & now I feel amazing …. But that’s something only you can decide hun!!

How bad do you want it done? How bad do you actually feel with ur boobs now?

Maybe cancel an leave it a while ….. Do more research …. See more companies & surgeons! Most normal

Uplifts or ba’s go fine hun but all op’s carry a risk. Maybe see how you feel in a few years & of you still feel

Strongly then have it done?!

Didn’t mean to scare u hun …. Me mentioning a re-op …. That I may not even need …. Durrrr …. And like I said I knew the risks and mine was a massive op!!

Hope ur ok hunni xxx
