Morning After my BA with Dr Singh…

Hello All,
Just thought i would share my experience after having a BA yesterday monring. I was admitted to Highgate Hospital at 7.30am and by 9.30am i was back in my room with a ”lovely’ pair of 460cc over the muscle. The surgery itself went fine although i was so nervous when i was lying on the table just about to go under.I woke up fine and was very aware of my new assests very quickly. I was worried that they were going to feel foreign and not really apart of me, but hey dont. It was a little sore on my first trip the toilet, assisted by the nurse, but i did not need to top up my painkillers until just before i went home at 8pm (daycase).

Dr Singh came and checked on me several times as did the nurses. It took a good 4 hours for the anaesthetic to ware off, and the most pain i had during the day was in my neck from sitting in an awkard position. My breast look very high, pert and swollen and there is a slight tingling, numbness around parts of the skin and nipple that has been left exposed (they tape you up leaving just your nipple and surrounding area open).

By 7pm i was starting to feel very stiff. I wouldnt descirbe it as pain, but in around the top of my ribs feels very bruised and i am very aware of wear the incisions are, particularly in my right side.

I purposely did not let myself sleep during the day of the surgery and was able to sleep like the dead on my first night back, albeit sitting upright. The morning after,today, I feel much better and rehydrated,make sure you drink lots and lots of water as it helps to flush away the anaestheitc.I still very very stiff around my ribs and the hardest movement is getting up from a sitting position..i didnt realise how much i used thosed muscles. I am trying not to take too many pain killers as it will mask and damage i might do i.e overoing it and it obviously affects other bodily functions.

But on the whole I am very happy. I was a 36B before i went in and am now wearing a 36dd Shock Absorber bra (which i bought off the internet at http://www.moveactive.com brand new for

Hi kristie

Congrtas on your new boobies, i had mine done on wednesday at highgate aswell, what did u think of the hopsital, i thought it was lovley, my mum said it looked more like a hotel then hospital…..

i have found it quite hard sleeping on my back but got my 1st nights propar sleep last night and i feel a bit better for it today. when i 1st woke up and got back to room i thought i was superwoman lol, i thought this is ok i was up by myself etc but then once all the anastetic wore off i felt it lol

im trying not to take as many painkillers now coz like u said it masks the damage and you think you are fine and over do it, i found that yesterday..i had visitors and i was maing them tea food etc and by time the evening came i felt it all kick in.

Take it easy and rest up, make every1 do everything for u heheh xx

Hiya.

Congratualtions to you too. Yeah the hospital was very lovely and because i live in central london the peace and quiet was amazing. Yeah i am thinking that after a couple of nights sleeping on my back it is going to get hard and uncomfortable, do you know how long it is until we can change positions?

As for pain, i have just woken up from a nap and feel like i have been kicked in the ribs..ouch.You rest up too and enjoy

Krisite K

Yeah i had a room at the back by the gardens so it was well nice and peacful aswell…

Im not sure how long it is untill we can change positions i think its just when we feel comfotable, at the moment once im laying down im finding it hard to move myself up let alone to my side, so annoying though becuase iv never been able to sleep on my back…..

yesterday i had a little knap and whn i woke up i felt so bruised around my sides, i think when we relax too much as in when we sleep it all stiffens up thats why im trying to be a bit more active today but not 2 much obviousaly…

Im just very impatient adn want to see to final results asap lol xx

hi kristie, im booked in for BA on july 15th with Dr Singh still in 2 minds as 2 what size 2 go 4 410cc or 460cc, i want 2 end up with a 36D, when i tried both the 460 looked huge but they did say they look smaller after???
nicki.x

Hi Nicki,
Firstly what size are you now? When i first had a try on with Dr Singh i was pretty sure i was going for he 380cc. I was very conservative about size given that i did not have much to start with and the bra he gave me to try i them on with was quite big, so they made the implants look bigger. However after a week i organised another appointment with him to re-assess size as having read the forums and hearing most girls saying they should have gone bigger i wanted to be happy with my size. I tried them on again with a smaller bra and def was set on having the 460cc. at the moment I think they are are a good size dd, but in a couple of weeks they will most likely go down to a D. So my advice is go bigger, then you wont regret all the pain and money afterwards. And like everyone says, even though they might measure bigger in a bra, they dont look that hge…so bigger is better, go 460cc.
Good luck, and I can let you know what size they are closer to your surgery date if you like.

Hiya,
I do agree to go bigger having had 2 BA’s.I was 32a to start with had 340cc which made me a 32c/d. I had 2nd BA replaced with 700ccs brought me to a 32f ..however I reckon they will be an E when swelling has gone down. I am hoping they dont go down as I like the size they are. Its funny because my new implants have increased in circumference but not outwards. They fill under my arms more. I would have prefered outwards!! How are you liking the ”Shockabsober Bra” ..is it the 5 in 1 multiway??fab bra!!… Its so like a normal bra..great under vest tops..
PS. I put implants in to my bra for my first BA 10 years ago before having them done and I found it was not a true reflection how they look after…A 340cc in my bra over my 32as looked bigger than when I woke up!!. They always look bigger in my opionion when you try implants in your bra. emmax

HI Emma,
I have had to take my sports bra off. Its only second day after surgery and all i am doing is lying around, but it felt too tight around my incision scars. I will probably put it back on tomorrow, but for the minute i am just lying around so not much movement..do you think i should put it back on?
I bought one from M&S at first and it was a mammoth hideous white piece of fabric and then I heard about the shock absorber and ordered one off the internet for

Hiya Kristie,
Oh I know what you mean ..most sports bras are hideous …Bridgette Jones look..luuurvely in the bedromm hehe!!.Yes the shock absober has enabled me to wear my vest tops ,have a cleavage ,and look sexier in the bedroom! he he(no strenuous activity though!!):cry:. I think you should put the bra back on. Have you got the right size as i’m a 32 back but the shock absorbers run small and I have a 34f which is fine on the back? Oh my …when I had a bath today and took the bra off my boobs were soooo heavy..much prefered having a shower(quicker,easier). You must wear the bra its not just about support but to do with the healing,shape etc…I know its a pain and 6 weeks is a life’s sentence but try to put it back on if you can:bigsmile: I kept moving ..i found the pain was worse when I stopped moving. The things we do for vanity..worth it though!! emmaxx

Hi ladies! Thanks for all of the info above – as you know Emma I have my BA at Highgate this Friday with Mr Singh – I also wanted to be a D and Mr Singh recommended 380cc…hope I’ll be happy with the size….but then having even larger implants will increase the circumference which I really don’t want! Oh decisions, decisions! x

Hi fiona,
Its sooo hard to know which size to choose. The 340ccs on me gave me a C/D cup. It was only after having my baby in 2007 that my boobs seemed to increase to a D and I no longer fitted the C cup bras. There is not a great deal of difference in a 340 and a 380 (125cc I think? is classed as 1 cup size). Have you looked at the 400cc it may be worth comparing the 380 and the 400cc just to see if there is big difference in size. Mr singh brought 2 sizes for me a 615cc and 700cc I said on the day of the op that I wanted the bigger one if he could fit it in!! Good luck for friday emmaxx

thanx girls u’v made up my mind im goin 4 the 460’s, i cant wait 4 these new big boobs!! xx

Hi Nicki,
Happy to hear the you have made up you mind. Just wanted to let you know that 4 days on from my surgery, my boobs are looking smaller..so def happier that i went bigger rather than smaller.

Good Luck
Kristie K
