implant – 380 mod/high profile overs

shower – 10 day (ewww) but i sat in shallow baths b4 that lol

slept on side – about 4 weeks

had sex – 8 days

painkiller – took them all, so 1 week

back to work – 3 week post opp cos of x mas, i would of been fine after 8 days

wired bra – 6 weeks

human again – 2-3 weeks

wish i had gone bigger – yes would of loved 410 or 420 but 380 was biggest i could have over muscle which is what i wanted

wise words – IF YOU CHOOSING BETWEEN 20/40/60/80 cc’s GO THE BIGGEST, THERE IS HARDLY ANY DIFFERENCE, THEY DONT LOOK DIFFERENT IN CLOTHES!!!!!!

x

great idea 😆 i was a 34 C, got 345/385 inspira responsive overs (different sizes as my boobs were assymetrical pre op) and i’m now a 34 F!

It was a week before i had a shower, ewww! still not sleeping on my side as i’m only 9 days post op. had sex the day after. stopped pain killers on day 5. i’m between jobs so don’t have to work for a month i feel human again today as i’, all showered and fresh and slept on my back last night! i won’t be wearing a wired bra until after the 6 week mark for sure. not worth the risk. I feel the size is great for me although i may get boob greed later on as you get use to the size so quick.

i’d deffo say go bigger girls, you won’t regret it and when your paying that much you want something to show for it so it’s safer to go bigger and 40/80 cc is not much once it’s inside you.

Any wise words – If you’re thinking about it, do it. Don’t wait forever like I did. Use this forum as much as possible in the lead up to the op as it will make you think about things you may forget to ask. Don’t listen to friends who are negative, they are just jealous – and if you think they aren’t jealous because they naturally have big boobs then you’re wrong! It’s always the big girls who are the first to be jealous and try and talk you out of it. Oh, and you parents will likely surprise you and turn out to be very supportive, as mine did. Good luck!! x

Any wise words? Always go for the biggest you are offered, implants look soo much smaller once they are inside you and it bra sizes don’t really matter as you really look a lot smaller then the size you actually measure for fake boobs. x

Fairyxx,

Can i ask what job you do? My job is very physical too and am worried about having to take lots of time off work to have a BA.

Any info would be great, thanks!
