Date of surgery – Tuesday 3rd May, 2011

Which Surgeon – Mr. Chantarasak at Highgate Hospital

Size pre-op – 32D / 34C (they weren’t full at all though)

Size now – Wearing a 34F post op bra

Type of implant – 525cc CUI high profile overs

How long before you…..

Had a shower? Day 1, allowed to bath and shower properly as of 10 days

Slept on side? Day 5 (for a little bit)

Had sex? Day 1, no problems there haha

Stopped taking pain killers? Didn’t start!

Went back to work? N/A student

Wore a wired bra? Not yet

Felt human again? Day 2

Do you wish you’d gone bigger? Not really… Sometimes I do look and think ‘hmmmmm I wonder’ haha but 525s were the biggest I could have without paying more, and they’ve actually started to look natural which I’m happy about

Any wise words? This is something you need to do for YOURSELF, not anyone else. I’m so happy I finally went ahead with it despite the criticism I got from ‘friends’ etc. Like Fairydust said, don’t push yourself out of bed with your arms (the mistake I made), and putting a pillow under my lower back and under my knees helped me sleep very comfortably!

Date of surgery – Tuesday 5th April, 2011

Which Surgeon – Mr. Aurakzai South cheshire hospital

Size pre-op – 34 A

Size now – 32 E!! La Senza..so could be much smaller other places

Type of implant – 300cc high profile unders

How long before you…..

Had a shower? Would have been 2/3 weeks – had to go to Bfs. But bath after 4 days perhaps

Slept on side? 5 weeks i think

Had sex? 11 days! went over and suprised the bf by popping over.

Stopped taking pain killers? 2 weeks

Went back to work? N/A student

Wore a wired bra? 6 weeks

Felt human again? about 2 weeks when i could do more for myself:)

Do you wish you’d gone bigger? Na, they always looked huge to me from having so little, although i asked for 300cc, my surgeon today said 260cc from looking in my notes, when i had asked for 300 he went ‘oh yeah, thts what you got then’ :S not very helpful!!!!!!!!!

Any wise words? Takeit easy, dont rush anything as you dont want to ruin what you have paid so much for. Find out when you can start massaging so they will become softer quicker..wasnt told when i shud till today and they arent as soft as i’d like them to be.

So finally glad i can fill this in ..x

Any wise words? take the pain killers you’re offered they do help, try not to worry about the stabbing pains, twinges or tightness, it does ease off and everything gets easier, at 3 weeks post op now i am so much more comfortable and they feel like they’ve always been mine. Don’t compare yourself to other girls on here when trying to pick implant sizes, trust your surgeon to advise you what is right for your frame xxxsx

Do you wish you’d gone bigger? Yes, much.

Any wise words

Take food to the hospital in case they forget to feed you!!

Get the biggest size you are able

Don’t worry about the op as it’s a breeze

Don’t take the pain killers unless you really need them as they make you bloat something rotten

Don’t raise your arms above your head or do too much even if you feel able. Let the muscles repair slowly.

GET A V PILLOW!!!!

Take at least 2 weeks off work. You might not need it, but your body will thank you

Take you time choosing a surgeon and make sure you feel comfortable with them.

Don’t be in a rush to get measured/ buy bras too soon. You will keep changing shape for at least 6 weeks so any money spent before that will be wasted.

Don’t take to heart everything you read on this and other forums – every girl is different and you will experience some things others don’t, and not all that others do.

Good luck girls xx
