    Hi girlies, just thought I would do an update as I am 5 weeks post op tomorrow! I have found the recovery process amazing and don’t feel any pain now, I get the odd irritation from my stitches but they seem to be healing fine. I still think my right boob needs to drop to match my left as my left is more rounded but I’m aware they have loads of changes to go yet as they are still quite hard! Xx

    Those look great Elle and super happy that you’re pain free. I’m sure you have been asked so many times but what cup size did you start out as?

    Thanks Kristy I was wearing a 34A but I never filled it so was probably even less than that I was tiny! Xx

    @ellejay10 Yes I am 10 days post op today. I had 400 hp like you but I had overs. The whole process has been great so far, I had very little pain, I didn’t even take painkillers! I was up and about the next day l, I went on a pub lunch and walk around the park I felt great ? . The tight feeling was the worst of it and sleeping upright is doing my head in! Lol. I was a 36 a/b to start so not sure what size I’ll end up but they don’t feel that big to me. I hope drop and fluff happens for me soon ??. At the moment my left one is still high and tight while the right has filled out and gone down lower and is a better rounder shape so I’m well wonky. I’m paranoid I’ll stay this way haha ? x

    Awwww glad to hear you are recovering well Victoria! Mine don’t feel that big either but I think I have just got used them and may be being a bit greedy because I was a 34a before but never fit any bras!! I hope drop and fluff happens for me to they are still quite hard at the moment and my right is still higher than my left! I’m sure we will be happy with them in the end I’m going for my 6 week check up on Monday :)) they have so much changing to do I wouldn’t worry!! Aww Claire so exciting when are you having them done?!??xxx

    Oh I bet you can’t wait to go out and get some lovely decent bras. I’m so over this ugly compression bra already! ? I barely filled my B bras and was more an A so I know the feeling. Ha boob greed is so real, I did actually think they’d be bigger than this though so I’m hoping with drop and fluff they will be. The top volume gets lower and fills it out and that’s what I’m praying for ???. I’m just desperate for this left boob to drop though. It looks awful compared to the other. It’s still as high as my op day! Good luck at your 6 week appointment, hopefully you’ll get the all clear to be able to do more stuff. How long is it until they soften? I’ve never looked in to it to be fair x

    Awww me too!! They really don’t your boobs any justice do they? I know mine feel big sometimes but other days they don’t! But I love how round and perky they are, you can’t really tell with mine that one has dropped but my left one looks more settled the left is still a bit swollen at the top! But my left stitches are really healed and the right ones are still irritating me and abit scabby so weird how they change at different times! I’m not sure how long they take to soften but they don’t feel like proper boobs yet they hardly move ???!! I hope mine drop and fluff too! Thank you hunny I hope the rest of your recovery goes wel! Xxx

    I’m all booked in for 9th April so not that long to wait. I’ve got exactly 6 weeks from date of op until I go on holiday so I can’t wait for the big unveiling!!
    I’m having unders as I’m so small now. To be honest I was expecting the dr to say that big cc but I’ve just gone with what he’s said

    Oh exciting Claire mine were unders and honestly I don’t think it’s as bad as people make out, I was a bit uncomfortable for the first few days but it passes so quickly and I think I recovered really well considering! So I hope the best for you and I hope you are happy with the size ??xxx

    @ellejay10 yes they do change day to day don’t they! Mine feel softer one day then hard the next. I hate the compression bra with a passion, feel like I’m as flat as a pancake in it, well not really a pancake, more a waffle ?. I’m dying to get back in real bras. I think the boobs will really start progressing then in regards to filling out a bit more without being squished down 24/7! I hate my breasts right now to be fair which is so dissapointing as I’ve wanted them done all my life and I really thought I’d just wake up from the BA with these amazing great big boobs ?. It really is a learning curve, I had no idea they are cone like and hard and change shape completely. And I do wish I’d gone bigger. There not half as big as I imagined! I just hope the weird shaping sorts itself out soon. Im giving it one more week and if I see no change I’m going to see my surgeon. Take care hun and enjoy your bra shopping soon ?


    @clairelr
    Ooooo how exciting. 400 is a pretty good size if you want decent sized boobs. If you have a smaller back size they will appear bigger. I’m a 36 so mine don’t feel that big to me but I’ve seen people on here with 30/32 Backs going to dd, e and even f with 400cc. Your surgeon obviously thinks that size is good for you so take it! ?. Boob greed is so real as you’ll see on this forum ? Lol A lot of girls wish they go could go bigger, I do. I’d take another 109cc happily lol. Hope your op and recovery goes well. Let us know how you get on xxx

    Aww I wouldn’t worry to much about what they look like yet hun they have so much changing to do yet!! You just have to try and be patient I’ve just been for my 6 week check up and everything is fine! I’m quite happy with how nice and round mine are sometimes wish I had bigger but then I think I might look stupid and they are massive compared to what I had before! Patience is key hunny I would give it till 6 weeks at least as they will change so much yet! I hope everything goes well for you ??xxx

    @ellejay10 I literally have zero patience. I might start having loads of early nights so the days go quicker. Yep that sounds like a plan ??? Lol
    Awww so pleased it all went well for you and I bet they will just keep getting better and better too. I can’t wait for them to be soft and squishy. Feel like I’m gonna take my husbands eye out if I turn too quick right now they are that bloody hard and pointy lol.
    Yeah I wish they were bigger but not stupidly big though just a bit more. Everyone’s shocked how small mine are, I’m sure they all thought I was gonna come home looking like Jordan hahaha ?.
    Thanks so much for the advice hun and I hope your recovery continues to be as good as it has already ? xxx

    Thanks Victoria. I wasn’t expecting the surgeon to say that big as I’m quite small, 30-32 bra size and I asked to be a c cup. He first got me to try 350cc and then said as I’m tall (5’9) I should go bigger and as all you girls have said if you get offered bigger take them, so I did! I figured he knows best! He did say though that they might end up nearer D cups, but I’m a bit worried that they might be even bigger! Oh well time will tell. 4 weeks today will be the big day!!!!

    Hi Elle your boobs look amazing. Did you have to push to get 400cc ho unders? I had my consultation yesterday and the surgeon advised me to go for 325cc but offered me 350cc. I am a 32b and my surgeon is dr Mahdi who is your surgeon? Xx

    Hi Sophie! Thank you ?? I think I tried on 350 and 375 and asked if they have any bigger ones to try so I tried on 400 and loved them, I was going to be cheeky and ask for bigger ones but I decided to stick and accept they will be big enough! I would definitely ask if you are worried about the size even though I’m sure they will look amazing on you! I had dr Mileto xx

    I am defiantly going to ask for bigger. I’m going to call them today. What clinic did you go to? Honestly yours look amazing exactly what I’m looking for. Did your surgeon try and persuade you to go smaller? My surgeon wants me to go 325 cc but has said up to 350cc and I don’t think that’s big enough x

    I don’t blame you and there’s not much difference between each cc if I’m honest I would just ask if you could have 375/400 maximum! Are you having unders? No he was quite easy going it I’m honest he didn’t question it but I think I would of asked for more than 400 he would of been like that’s to big for your frame ? you have nothing to lose by just asking hun!
