Why did you want the procedure?
From the age of 16 I noticed that my left breast wasn’t matching my right breast but I was still growing so I took it off my mind until I was 18. I turned 18 and come 19 years old, still no change. BA has been on my mind but never for definite. Friends and a sibling had it done so my mind was pretty much definite then. I saved the money and did it while I could when I was young and have a good job!
I became very conscious with partners when being topless and would try and disguise the fact I was asymmetric with a fear of being laughed at and not accepted. A couple did, a couple didn’t. It only took 1 nasty comment for me to make up my mind and that triggered me to do it.
I couldn’t have booked quick enough.
Why did you choose MYA?
I did not go with MYA for my BA. I went with Mr Paul Banwell @ The McIndoe Centre (The Banwell Clinic).
How was your consultation?
My first consultation was very detailed and he went through a lot. My second consultation was far more interesting as I had done my ‘rice bag’ homework and my size was set. I didn’t opt for a third consultation and went ahead and booked surgery. My consultant went through my breast width with me and the biggest size I could go to without any damage and rippling of the implant. Only makes sense to go to the biggest right?
How was the day of your procedure?
I arrived at my clinic at 7am and went down for surgery at 9:30am. I was awake by 11am and the pain was very minimal. I had been excited all morning and barely nervous. I had a one night hospital stay with 24-hour care which was exceptional.
How was your recovery?
My recovery was very quick. After 10 days I was feeling normal and more myself. I had two weeks off work which was very much needed. It’s only really the pulling and burning sensation which is irritating but that’s how you know it’s working!
Are you happy with your results?
100%. Cannot fault anything. Couldn’t be happier. Exceeded my expectations.
