Just joined – already feel overwhelmed!

Hi girls. Just joined the forum yesterday and I’ve been reading, reading and even more reading! And I feel like the more I’m reading the more nervous I feel and I’m only at research stage! Have got a consultation booked with a patient coordinator in October but still trying to look around at other clinics for other options…

I notice not everyone on here has necessarily had their surgery through mya.

I’ve been reading all the different terms…high profiles, drop and fluff and god knows what and I’m like, of my god I am SO naive with all this! Have wanted a boob job since I was about 15 and I’m now 32… guess I want people to be like just do it!!

Anyway thought I’d introduce myself!

Is everyone happy that they bit the bullet and got theirs done…?

Hey hun I’m 9 months post op and had mine done aged 33 despite wanting them for over a decade too.

Ive added you so u can see my journey in pics and comments

This is a great community here. The more knowledge you have the better prepared you are during ur consultations. I had three before my op and they were all with the same surgeon, I researched her work and was adamant she would be my surgeon

@siany it can definitely be overwhelming when you first join. I was exactly the same, I didn’t know the difference between profiles or unders and overs, sizes, I was clueless. Just keep doing what your doing though and reading posts of others and you’ll come to understand. Any terms your not sure of just google too!
I was just like you, I’d been wanting it for years but just never went as far ahead as a consultation. Now I’m having my surgery today 🙂 Not with MYA either.
The best advice I can give is look at all the companies, not just one. When you do have a consultation with a surgeon you just naturally know if they’re right or not for you because you’ll feel like they understand exactly the type of look you want from your boobs.
Add girls on here as friends so you can track their journeys and see before and after pics too!
I wish you all the best!
PS Just bite the bullet and do it! 🙂 xx

Hi! I’m in the same boat as you, I only recently joined, I’ve got my first meeting with coordinator tomorrow! No idea what to expect!

I’m still not 100% sure if I want to end up having the surgery, part of me really wants to and has since I was 15, but my sensible self is worrying about having to possibly get them redone every 10 years, if I’m being selfish, what people will say… arghhhh ???? X

@fran32 @Clara89 @katiep369

Sorry girls not sure how I tag you back into a comment so that you see my reply! ????

Thank you so much for your messages.. I so desperately want to just do it but like you Clara I still have this little niggle with all the doubts. Like I’ve made do this long with having what i affectionately (not) call my boy boobs lol! My partner loves me the way I am but I don’t love me at all!

I have read lots of comments and blogs about not having to have them redone in 10 years. That it depends on the person and basically if they’re absolutely fine in 10 years then there’s no need to fix them!

Where are you having yours done @katiep369 ? Am I allowed to ask that?? Lol. Don’t worry if you’d rather not say it’s absolutely fine

Thanks again for your replies girls – I’m glad I’ve got a whole lot if people that I can ask questions! There will be lots I imagine!!!x

Ignore me Katie just had a nosey at your profile – and oh my god I’ve just ‘re read what you wrote and you’re having them done today! I hope all goes brilliantly! Good luck!

@siany thank you very much! 🙂 I’m just on my way down to the hospital in Manchester now. I’m not even nervous, my boyfriend can’t understand why lol
You’ll know when it’s the right time to go ahead with surgery and you’ll look back and think what did I ever worry about xx

Hey hun something inside of you got u here and ur obviously curious. You won’t know until u go for a consultation what the possibilities are.

It’s great that ur partner loves u as u are but if inside ur not happy I honestly reccomend to have a chat or go along to one of the Mya parties they have been holding all over the country.

I literally just cracked last summer when trying on bodies. I decided enough was enough and made a call to see a pc. I cried down the phone and didn’t realise I’d been bottling it all up. I felt like a right muppet, the all centre girl was so helpful.

I didn’t tell many people at first but my confidence in my decision grew the more I made friends on here and researched on realself.com

My mum is naturally really big like G-H cup so I just felt like an alien to her. I felt she wouldn’t understand and I didn’t really tell her for a while. When I did she wasnt happy but I told her it was my money and decision and I just wanted her blessing because o had wanted it for years but didn’t feel comfortable talking about it because i felt she wouldn’t understand. Eventually she came round but was terrified as she doesn’t believe in surgery unless it’s for something medical. When I came round after the op she was so impressed and really happy for me. I was so shocked but she could see the difference and totally understood my point.

Yes there are many risks and the journey is a roller-coaster of emotions but I wouldn’t go back to where I was. I struggled mainly with other people’s opinions tbh

I didn’t want to be seen as a bimbo or image obsessed. However my lack of volume and massive gap in my boobs (the width of a hand) was really annoying me. I didn’t realise I was like obsessed with looking at boobs. Constantly comparing myself and feeling awful when I took my padded push up bra off. I didn’t like them to be touched when I was intimate with partners and I didn’t feel comfortable showing them. They were the only part of my body that I really didn’t like at all.

There’s no harm in just leaving them alone either but from my experience I know how as u get older u may think oh theres no point. I really think it’s a massive confidence booster and I just wish I had been able to do it in my twenties as I feel it would have really helped me to feel able to achieve a lot more just by the added confidence.

If u do decide to have a consultation try and get measured before u go so u know ur official cup and band size. Have a look Instore at the other cup sizes and get an idea of different sizes on different frames. The size is never guaranteed in surgery because everyone is so different but having an idea of how u want to look is crucial. Don’t just go with what u think is most popular.

Some girls have less than 300cc and their results are just as good as those who are double or more.

All the best in your journey

Welcome to the forum
Its a very overwhelming journey and im only at pre surgery stage booked for op on 29 November but feel its already been a rollercoaster
Ive waited a very long time for this and its finally in sight x

@fran32 I havent really told anyone apart from my partner that I’m considering it. And also my mum. My mum knows it’s my life and my money so hasnt made a fuss whatsoever but I knew she wouldn’t anyway. She said to just at least have the consultation and find out more.

I’m married to my partner and she is naturally big boobed and hates hers! Lol always the way. She wants small boobs and i want bigger ones! But I totally get what you’re saying, I don’t like her seeing mine and it took me about 3 and a half years to let her even see me without a bra on! And as much as I know she does not judge mine in the slightest I still feel that little bit self conscious. And I ALWAYS compare my boobs everyone else’s!

I definitely know I want as natural looking as possible. I don’t want them to look fake. But yea even my padded bras don’t pad them out enough!

Thanks again for your replies and i hope it all goes smooth for you @Nancy. At least we all get to share our progress and thoughts here. I didn’t even know about it until my friend who’s had hers done said to join!

Ur welcome hun! I had Linda Fiumara who specialises in the natural look. It’s always the way isn’t it! Wanting the total opposite!

If it helps bring ur partner with you for support as she understands you well enough and as you said it took quite sometime to feel confident without a bra on.

If you need any support or questions answered don’t hesitate to drop me a message. Good luck and I defo agree with ur mum u can always have a consultation with a pc. They show you the implant and u can have a feel. Then go through what your looking for and match your preferred outcome to a surgeon if you haven’t already got ur heart set on one.

Have a look on the site as they have a profile list of the surgeons. Many do private work too and have their own websites some are also on social media. I researched mine like a stalker and looked up all of her qualifications and medical boards she was accredited by. I was impressed with her work not just for (vanity) cosmetic proceedures but also facial reconstruction for people who have been attacked/injured
