My story – Mario Russo

Hi girls, I arrived at HIghgate yesterday nice and early and was shown to my room at half 7.

Spoke to the nurse and aneasthetist and then the lovely Mario came in to draw on me while I stood in my knickers (very embarrasing lol)!. This took about 10 mins, during which the nurse came in with a big bunch of flowers for me. My husband looked a bit worried and said ‘who are they from, there not from me’! Turned out Mya sent them, prob due to me being called in a couple of days earlier than expected, so thank you Mya, they are a lovely touch!!!

Was really gutted that the nurse wouldn’t let me wear my own knickers, even though I especially bought 100% cotton ones, but she said she would get me a pair of cotton surgery ones, cos I was worried I was gona start my period (luckily it didn’t come yesterday, but as soon as I got home today)!

Anyway, when the nurse came to get me I got really scared and had a little cry, I knew my hubby had to go and get our kids and all these horrible thoughts went through my mind about things going wrong. The aneasthetist tried twice to get the needle in and he wasn’t getting the vein but luckily he got it on his third attempt. The nurse put an oxygen mask on my face, I felt the aneasthetic burn a bit as it went in and then I fell into the deepest sleep ever!

When I woke, I won’t lie, I felt like crap. So tired, like I hadn’t slept in a hundred years. My chest felt soooooo tight (maybe cos I had unders) and I was so out of it. The first thing I remember is being back in my room saying I needed a wee, which the nurse gave me a bedpan for. But I really don’t remember much, it was all such a haze. I tried to read a text from my hubby and I couldn’t focus or read any of the words, was really weird.

Then when I was trying to sleep about midnight, by right boob started squelching!!! Strange, strange, strange!

I didn’t see Mario that day but he came in this morning to tell me he was really pleased with the results. He put in a whooping 365cc which were the largest ones ordered and they do seem pretty big!!! Shape looks great, just bloody sore! Am so glad it’s all over with, just want to heal really quick and get back to normal again.

Thanks to all the girls who have sent me such lovely msgs of support. I didn’t tell anyone about my op so it’s so nice I can share it with you all! Sorry if I’ve gone on a bit, lol! xxx

PS Do any of you girls put ice on your boobs to help with swelling, I completely forgot to ask Mario! I tend to have a bit of a mind block when he is in front of me, lol!!!!!

Ooops, didn’t mention I had uplift and implants! xxx

Congrats hun and happy healing xxx

Lovely story. Glad it all went well for you. Hope you’re not too sore. Would you mind if I ask what your stats were and why you had an uplift? After breastfeeding, I am an empty B/C and was told I would need an uplift (or go a lot larger) which has scared me off! Am interested to hear other peoples stories. Also, would you mind if I add you? Thanks

Hiya jalepino (love the name btw!), I was a 28/30 DD / E before breastfeeding. After I went to about a D, but basically was left with empty sacks! Had loose skin on the bottom of my boobs and flat on top. I was devastated as always loved my boobs and had never considered cosmetic surgery, but I’m 31 and didn’t want to feel unsexy for the rest of my life so went to see surgeons.

I was offered just implant, full anchor lift or even just a nipple lift. Initially it is tempting to go for just a nipple lift but I thought that I would sag quicker with a heavy implant, or just a nipple lift and i really didn’t want to go back for surgery years down the line if I could help it. I also wanted the loose skin cut away, so decided to bite the bullet and go for the full works.

Speak to surgeons and see what is right for you. The idea of surgery has always scared me, I’ve never had an op before and I knew that I wouldn’t want to go back in so many years and have it done all over again, not to mention the costs too. But you may be different so think about it carefully, it is such a big step.

If you’re looking for recommendations for natural looking breasts, I couldn’t recommend Mario Russo enough. The shape he gives is in my opinion second to none, have a look at his gallery on his website thenaturalook.co.uk

All the best with your decision hun, keep us posted on what you decide. You can add me but I don’t have any pics up yet.

Other stats are size 8, 5’7, around 8 and a bit stone. I had 365 cc responsives. xxx

Thanks for the help and and advice Char I saw a consultant last year with the hospital group who told me about the uplift. It was a bit of a shock as I thought I could just waltz in get bigger boobies and not have to worry too much about visible scars! Was gutted when told about the uplift or need for one in the not too distant future. Left there and just forgot about it as an option (for a while) I don’t like the idea of further surgeries too and don’t feel quite ready for an uplift yet. However, the last few weeks, it’s been all I can think about! Did you book with Mario through mya or did you go to him direct?

Again, thanks for the help x

I did go to Mario direct as first and foremost wanted him, rather than deal with a company, but the date I wanted was a Mya date so I ended up going with them.

I was the same initially. I just wanted fuller breasts and was very put off by all the scarring. Once I realised I wasn’t really going to have that great a shape with just implants alone (although this was an option, but I was told I’d more than likely have to cone back for an uplift) I got my head around the whole scarring thing, and saw some great pics of faded scars and thought I’d go for it. I’m still early days though, so will have to let you know how it all goes in the coming months! xxx

Hi char30, pleased to hear everything has gone well. Have the drugs worn off a bit now? Did you feel sick at all? I think i will be like you and get a bit emotional when it’s time. I’ve got a month to go! Hope you heal well and it sounds like it was all worth it x

So proud of you char. As a fellow Mario patient I am glad to see another success story. You have been thru a lot now take each day as it comes. Try not to expect things to happen too quickly. I’m seven weeks p o and getting happier with every week that passes. Listen to people like Tina and be patient while you heal. Obeythe rules and all will be well xxxxx
