    Hi all,
    Felt like I should write about my experience, so here it goes.
    I had my BA on the 17th of September at Highgate Hospital, I was so excited but so scared and couldn’t make up my mind about a size until about 2 days before!
    I went for 385cc left and 365 cc right, overs, HP.
    Firstly, I am very happy with the way they look now if I could go back and do it all again I admit would have gone bigger, but only by a little bit! Maybe say 400cc.. I was 32 a – well I wouldn’t of even called it a that they still didn’t fit.
    I’m 5ft4 and small framed but not active so I felt slightly out of proportion hips down. I remember looking in the mirror and just feeling so paranoid I must of tried everything from push up bra’s to fillets.
    Now I do feel confident, i’ve been out to clubs a few times now and twice braless! I am looking forward to buying bra’s, especially ones that really show off your cleavage. It’s a good feeling knowing that part of your body looks great.
    After my OP, I came home and felt absolutely fine my only concern was that they were too big! But don’t worry it’s just swelling and goes down dramatically ha-ha! Although i saw myself as someone who could handle pain my strapping was unfortunately too tight so i was in constant pain on day 2onwards up until I had the strapping removed. Once removed I was left with lood blisters from where my skin couldnt breathe, of course like most girls I panicked but do take a look at my photo’s and you’ll understand why but i guess i was just happy to have the strapping removed.
    The blisters fell off after 2 weeks i still have marks but i’ve gone back on the sunbeds and they are blending in more and more each time.
    It got to week 4 and my right breast incision started to ooze out with fluid again i panicked and contacted the emergency nurse, i would of ignored it but it literally came out to the extent of ridiculous. Since then I have been back to the nurse every 3 days – which is annoying considering I work full time and do not live in london where Upper Wimpole clinic is! The nurses are friendly I just wish this problem had of cleared up by now. My nurse I saw on Monday has taken a swab test for infection so I will find out tomorrow evening the results – this should of been done sooner.
    I know I will not be able to wear normal bra’s at the moment as my incision is still worse for ware which is a shame as my 21st birthday is next Wednesday.
    I have my 6 week check up with my Surgeon tomorrow, so i will tell him what’s happened, one thing I think would of been nice is if my patient co-ordinator would have got in contact with me and asked how I was doing considering there must be some sort of record to say i’m attending the clinic every 3 days.
    If any one has any questions I will be happy to answer them! I feel like i’ve been a little unlucky with my recovery process but when I look at the mirror minus the marks left from my blood blisters and my leaking boobie I love them.
    Good luck to all of the ladies getting ready for their BA and thank you to all the supportive ladies who gave me advice and support when i needed it!! xxxxx

    I was wondering how you were getting on, can’t believe your still not sorted you must be so hacked off. Hopefully it’ll all be over soon and you can start to wear normal bras. Your right to be unhappy about the pc not contacting you, I did my po questionnaire yesterday and said that’s one of the disappointing things about MYA that there’s not consistency with contact after you’ve paid and had the op. Hope your results come back ok xxx
