Op on Wednesday – starting to worry and panic!

Hey girls,

I’ve litterally woke up this morning in tears because i’m so scared! I know it’s silly (and i’m usually pretty good with things – done bungys, skydives, canyon swings etc) but i’m terrified! I’ve never had an operation.

I was measured yesterday (I’ve always thought I was a 34b/c and sometimes worn 36) but I measured a 32c. I’m having 410 implants and my frends are starting to worry me that they will be too big. I know that real boobs measure bigger than fake boobs but I can’t seem to make them understand that (and i can’t seem to believe it myself) i’ve just got this vision of waking up with this massive boobs that I don’t know what to do with! lol

Another thing which i’m now concerned about,i’ve never really realised that i’ve got one boob bigger than the other (mainly because i’ve always hated my body so never really looked in the mirror or paid much attention) but Mr Adamo did point it out to me at my first consultation and said it wasn’t massive difference and if i wasn’t worried about it then dont worry about trying to make it up. Ever since i’ve been thinking about it more (and i think it’s massive difference now when i take “before” pics etc). I see him again after my pre-op (because i see that he was there and asked) and he basicaly said I would need the skin taken from the bigger one and wouldn’t just be able to put a smaller implant in the bigger one etc. Now i’m worrying that the implants are going to make it loads more obvious (i’ve recently lost a lot of weight which is when i think this happened – so my hopeful thinking is that the extra skin will just be used up and it will be fine) lol

I’ve also been told by my friend who had the op last year that when you have the anestheic they strap your arms down which is panicing me to no end. Sounds silly but when i’m panicing i get really claustrophobic and i’m really worried i’ll freak out!

I know this is a massive rant, but you know sometimes typing it all out makes it feel better lol

Hey honey, I totally understand everything you are saying. It is very daunting! I am also pre-op and meeting mr adamo on Thurs for my first consultation… He is renowned for the ‘natural’ look and also for listening to exactly what the patients want so I’m sure you are in good hands. Lots of girls on this forum have admitted totally freaking out right before op and it is more than normal and all staff there are prepared for it and know exactly how to calm you down.

As for the anaesthetic, you can either have the injection or gas so its however you feel most comfortable. I have had my tonsils out and was put under anaesthetic and I definitely wasnt strapped down! Gosh that’s scary for anyone to think! Its a strange feeling where one minute you are looking at the person doing it who is talking to you- then the next, you are waking up! You will be absolutely fine and just remember, the surgeon performs this op in an hour or so, so they must do a few ba’s a day!

As for one boob being slightly bigger than the other, I think mine is too so im sure that he will mention it. As far as Im aware, they just put 2 different size implants in. Or if needed as he said to you, just remove some skin to make them look even. His job is to make them look as symmetrical as possible and Im sure that’s exactly what he will do. I know it’s scary when they give you every bit of detail of what they are going to do- but aren’t you kinda glad that you will know what he is doing to your body?

I have a mini freak out sometimes and im constantly looking at my boobs and pulling and prodding them!! ha ha! Its natural to think the worst I guess and Im the worst for it! Ive even dreamt about it!! How sad!! You would be very suprised actually as most girls on here wish they’d gone bigger even though they previously thought they would look too big!

Ive written so much- what an essay- so on a final note hun, Im sure you will more than fine, you are in very safe hands!! Keep in touch and let me know how you get on as I’ll be having him soon and freaking out more and more!! lol! xx

Thanks for your reply hun! I’m sure it’s normal to freak out and i guess everyone just wants to talk about it with me and i really just want to forget out it for the moment lol

I really hope I can have the gas, I hate injections and usually faint anyway!

Yeah I guess it’s every day thing for them lol I’m not actually having the extra skin removed or anything as I think i decided too late and Mr Adamo didn’t seem to think it was anything major, but i’ve heard he is so good so i completely trust his judgement, just scary.

Thank you and I will do, good luck at your consultation, hopefully all goes to plan let meknow what happens, i’ll add you xxx

I have to admit, I am sooo jealous! I wish I was having mine on weds! The sooner the better as Im scared that if I think about it too much Ill end up changing my mind! ha ha!

Well, good luck and Ill speak to you hopefully after your op!! How exciting!! xx

Hey hunny, I can really relate to all your worries and fears. I’m a 34C and having 410/460 overs tomorrow morning at Manchester lifestyle. Size wise, I know it seems massive, but the nurse told me this is a ‘good size’ and only slightly bigger then average. I’ve had concerns they are going to be gigantic and out of proportion with the rest of my body but in reality they’ll only take us 2 cup sizes biggar at the most. No one ever complains they are too big, but sooo many people are disapointed and wish they’d gone for the biggar implants. Plus if we’re going to go to the expense & pain of having a BA, might as well do it properly!

I was identical to you hun, my breasts are slightly asymmetrical, Mr Traynor pointed it out at my 1st consultation but i’d hardly noticed before & it certainly never bothered me. But since then I notice every time I look in the mirror and am very glad this is going to rectify it. I think you have to work on the basis your surgeon knows best..they wouldn’t reccomend different size implants if they were going to make it worst..I have fears they are going to mix it up and put the wrong impant in the wrong breast tomorrow, but I’m going to double check when they mark me up in hospital tomorrow!

I think its completely normal to freak out! Especially if you’ve never had an op before – me neither hun! Someone on here said, all you need to do is turn up and go to sleep. When you put it like that its a peice of cake. Just try to relax and tyhink about the lovely dresses and bra you can wear in a few months time. If you still feel stressed, give your PC or nurse a ring tomorrow – I’m sure they’ll be happy to help you.

Good luck for Wed, I’ll look forward to hearing your story & maybe seeing some pics of your gorgeous new boobies

Thanks Linzi!

Hey Sophie, i’m glad to hear someone else is thinking the same as me. You’re def right, might as well do it properly! haha

Oh so you are having dif size implants, in a way I wish I was now but I know I have to go with what is recommended. He did say if it bothered me that much I can have it done when i have the next operation (! – i was thinking ohhh no i’m only doing this once haha). I guess i asked too late and prob would have costed more so i’m hoping and praying they come out alright lol

I’ve heard that too, all you have to do is sleep haha good way to look at it!

I can’t wait to get them out in nice clothes though so I know i’m doing the right thing. This time next week i’ll prob be thinking how stupid I was! lol

Thanks hun, good luck for you too and let me know how it goes xx

Hey gemmalouise, in reality nearly all women have different sized breasts, it’s just a case of whether it’s very noticable or not, They only tend to use different size implants if the difference is quite big. They also say to everyone that the likely hood is that your breasts will still look assymetrical after the op and that this is a reality not a fault of the surgeon.

With regards to another op he may have been referring to the fact that the implants are recommended to be changed about every 10 years so depending on your age you will need another op in 10-15 years whether you are happy or not. Saying that my mother in law had hers 20 years ago and they are fine. (although the PC was shocked about this when i told her!)

Thank you Ros! Ohh sounds like your mother in-law’s have done really well!! x
