My roller coaster of a journey! It's quite a story!

This has taken me a lot to write but I wanted to share my complete boobie journey with you all as this forum has helped me a lot leading up to my op so thought I would give something back and share my roller coaster of a journey!

I was originally a 36B in my right boob and had absolutely no breast tissue in my left boob, basically like a boy. I was really depressed about this during my teens and everyone just said “wait be patient you might be a late developer” I waited and my left breast just never developed. After years of counselling since I was 15 I went to my gp and applied for funding to get an operation on the NHS. The funding was agreed to have a fat transfer procedure (taking fat from my belly and putting it in my left breast to form a natural breast shape and fix assymetry) it was agreed that this would take quite a few operations as its a gradual process as its difficult to predict how much fat will survive and how much will get absorbed by my body naturally. It was also agreed to work only on the left at first to try and match the size and shape of the right and then if needed work would be done on my right.

So in August 2013 I went for my first fat transfer op, it went well but it was clear that not enough fat had survived and it was still a lot smaller than the right one. In January 2014 I went for my second op, this also went well however too much fat was put into my breast which made it a whole cup size more than my right one. I was now a B in my right and a C in my left and it was VERY noticeable! When I went back to my post op check up I was told that all nhs breast augmentations in my gp area were no longer being funded. I was gutted. I appealed of course but got a straight NO. I felt as though I had been left with a job half done, and that they pretty much reversed the problem of how the assymetey went.

I finally was in the financial situation through working bloody hard to fund my own boob job! I did lots of research and settled with MYA. Because of my past ops Dr Singh asked me to get an ultrasound of my boobs just incase I had any fatty lumps from the fat transfer but it all came back fine. I am currently sat in the Fitzroy in my room with a beautiful pair of boobies and can’t stop smiling to myself although I am a bit sore 🙂 I had moderate profile 375cc in my left breast and 500cc high profile in my right breast, over the muscle.

I am going to write a letter of complaint to the NHS as I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I have uploaded pics so you can see for yourself how they left me half way through my treatment. Just thought I would share my story, if anyone has experienced anything similar I’d love to have a chat!

Good luck with all your boobie Journeys! Xxx

I’m very similar to you hun! I had 325/450 I went to the doctors when I was about 14 and they said that I would have to wait because I hadn’t fully developed and I never did but they kept saying it wasn’t enough to have anything done about it and they never followed through with anything and left me to it which is why I decided to do something myself and found mya xxxx

Hi @kelsie nice to hear someone else face the same problems! I was so lucky to have it agreed and I am greatful to the surgeon I had as she did an amazing job with my left boob was just so disappointed they withdrew my funding! It was just after this whole Josie Cunningham girl hit the headlines and gave the nhs bad press for funding boob jobs so I think that’s what the sudden “no” came from! All sorted now though and I couldn’t be happier hope yours goes well 🙂 x

Thank you hun! That’s so good to hear glad your finally happy it’s so annoying that one person can ruin it for everyone! Tbh I’m glad I did it this way now looking back and I hope the money is used for people with cancer and other life threatening illnesses and it makes a difference! It’s so hard for people to understand how it feels and sometimes it makes you feel as if your selfish which is completely not true it’s such a horrible feeling and I just can’t waif to be able to wear a bra and it finally fit!!! Xxx

Sorry to hear about your bad experience! Something good came out in the end. Enjoy your new puppies xx

Hope you don’t mind if I add you! What a journey… I’m currently asymmetrical and I literally feel like it’s the worst thing in the world so can’t begin to imagine how you must have felt, to go through what you did. I have my BA booked in for the 22nd of December and I cannot wait, I can’t wait to feel confident in myself! Bet you’re so happy with your new babies
