Making the decision!

I’m almost 21 and have been thinking of a boob job ever since I was 17. I have quite a big bum and such a flat chest, it really knocks my confidence! They have no shape at all, I describe it as a boys chest!

I’ve never been in hospital, never had an op and absolutely hate needles and the thought of pain. I want to know the ins and outs that you don’t see! Is it bearable? Is it worth it? How long until I can get back in the gym?

I was 21 when I had my first BA … very similar to you, good proportions everywhere apart from my chest and I absolutely hated it. I would buy the most padded bra’s, bikini’s, the lot …. until I decided I was too young to be so insecure about something I could change. And it was honestly the best decision I ever made and I don’t regret any of it, in fact I’m booked in to have a second one in 4 weeks to go bigger.

Personally for me, I came round from the operation fine (my first one too), and it’s more a tight uncomfortable feeling rather than pain but with pain killers it was manageable. The hardest part I found was sleeping upright, but was all worth it in the end.

I think you’ll know when / if it’s the right thing for you xx

I’d never been in a hospital or had an operation until my BA. I’m so scared of needles, I even nearly cancelled when they said I had to have my blood test at my pre op! But thought no I want this I just have to do it.

As for needles on the day of surgery, I didn’t see one! I know they use one for the canular but never felt it go in, I think my adrenaline was so high from excitement that I didn’t care.

It’s not a pain so much it’s just really tight, and I had strapping so I think this is what caused most of the pain that I experienced. Like Sophie said above sleeping is the worst part, you end up with more back ache pain from the sleeping upright than your actual boobs lol. So at one point I was taking be pain killers for my back not my boobs.

As for the gym they recommended 6 weeks off. I’ve had 3 weeks off and for me I’m going crazy! I think il be going back to doing just cardio until the 6 weeks then attempt to do light weights. Xx

@hannah – I had my pre op on Thursday, but they never did a blood test for me? Xx

This makes me feel so much better! It definitely is the right thing for me as it knocks my confidence so much and feel like I need the BA to move forward. Just got to get a consultation booked in now to make it all feel real! Xx

@sophiex26x Not everyone has one I don’t think. I stupidly told them I used to have heavy periods before going on the pill, and then they were like you have to have a blood test then haha! xx

@hannah ow ok that’s make sense … I was expecting one but she never took one, just swabs? Xx

@megan keep us updated! I honestly don’t think you’d regret it – best decision I ever made. Xx
