Hi thought I would put a few words together for all you ladies who are have a BA booked in and want to know what it was like.
I am 36, 5'3, 8 stone 12 and was as 32A/B (on a good day). I initially went for a consultation with Beaucare in Manchester who operate in Brussels (cheaper option) and had a second consultation with MYA in Manchester. I had researched clinics, prices and breast implants on the internet for weeks before so had a good idea of what to expect....
Beaucare where a good alternative but I was left a little worried about the aftercare (brussels is a long way to make a second journey to)... As soon as I came to MYA in Manchester and met my co-ordinator Lizzie I felt totally comfortable. All the staff are professional and Lizzie was able to answer all my questions (believe be I am an analyst for a living and ask loads of questions)... I then met the plastic surgeon Mr Aurakzai who has a lovely personality and really made me feel at ease. I'm not used to getting my boobs out but I can say that he made me feel completely comfortable and safe and came across in a caring and professional way. After discussions with the PS I decided on 380's partial unders which will hopefully take me to a C/D. As soon as I got home I knew I wanted the op and phoned up the next day and was booked in for 30th.
Day of the op.... Even though I had GA's before I was really worried... my main fear was the fact that I was going through this surgery not because I was ill but because I wanted bigger boobs and part of me thought this was vain... My blood pressure was sky high the whole day ... I think this was the stress of the op as I have visited my doc since and it's ok now. I was a daycase at Manchester Lifestyle Hosp and my whole day was great, the staff where fab very attentive nice and chatty. I saw Dr Aurakzai before the op (obviously not during cos I was out for the count)~ and afterwards once or twice (can't remember)...... I felt poorly after the GA for a couple of hours but was able to go home at around 8pm... I felt so great at this point we all went for a sit down curry on the way home..
I now realise this was the drugs in the GA as the next day I defo felt the after affects of the op. The next 3 days where very uncomfortable and I made sure I took my painkillers on time..... I do find sleeping upright really uncomfortable but trying to stick at it and do as I'm told.... Yesterday (day 4) and today I feel loads better... still not up for going for a long walk but much better and I haven't needed any pain killers.....
So far so good.............. I was worried that I wouldnt' like my new boobs for the first couple of months but do you know what despite them being hard and having no feeling I am liking the look.... I took photos before and after (daily except for today lol) and I am definitely pleased so far.....
Just need to keep looking after myself and hope they fall just nice over the next couple of months....
Can't thank Lizzie @ MYA, Emma the Nurse and Mr Aurakzai and the Lifestyle team enough....... So far so good xxx
