    I have my op in just over two weeks and I’m starting to reconsider my decision to get breast enlargements! I wanted this for years but now it’s a reality I’m second guessing if I should do it! I’m worried they will be too big and I’ll feel fat or if they are too small was it worth getting them?……. did anyone else have these mixed emotions? I have to admit, reading this forum puts me in a negative frame of mind! ???? what I thought would be a positive and exciting time in my life has turned into an anxious and stressful decision! X

    Hi Sianie!
    I had mine done two weeks ago after years and years of wanting it done and not being able to afford it, then wondering if I would like them,…..etc
    I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I have ever done!
    I was worried they would make me look bigger and they dont, they just give me the curves I’ve always wanted.
    The forum at times,especially right now in fact, can be difficult to read. It can be negative and off putting.
    If this is something you have wanted for a while and have found a surgeon you like then go for it! My experience with mya has been 100% positive. Make your decisions based on your own thoughts and feelings and don’t be swayed by others. If it’s what you want, just do it!
    Hope this helps xxx

    Woahhh no don’t stress yourself over it! I think it’s only normal to have doubts. When I walked into the theatre I remember thinking, totally irrationally, omg omg omg this is my last chance. Shal I change my mind? Do I really want this? But I think that’s all just fear of the huge change your about to make to your body. All I can suggest is write down the reasons you want the surgery and remind yourself of that. I could not be happier with my result. Only 3wpo tomorrow and I feel fantastic in myself. Recovery was tough at times but totally worth it. Mya have been fantastic to me throughout and I wouldn’t let some people’s bad experience put you off. Look there’s always a chance of complications but the chance is very slim. The huge majority of girls on here and who’ve had a ba feel fantastic about themselves and love their new boobs. Try to put those negatives into perspective and really think about why you went down this road in the first place. X

    I had doubts after first booking my op even though there was still time to back out! If I had wanted to back out I would’ve picked up the phone and done it, that’s my thoughts. We are here at this stage now because we want this, and we know the result in the end and how we feel after is going to be worth all of the pre op anxiety.

    Try your best to enjoy this experience as much as possible, from start to finish, and as with everything in life, don’t let negativity get to you!

    Good luck and hope everything goes perfect for you 🙂 xx

    Hello, please don’t let the negativity on the forum at the moment put you off.
    Your thoughts at the moment are so so natural, I think we all get those exact thoughts as we get close to our surgery date. My head was a mess!!
    I’m 3wpo now and I am so so pleased I did this for myself after all these years, I look in the mirror at my new boobs and I can’t believe they are mine. I’m really proud of myself for doing this.
    You will have told your surgeon what you want and their recommendation should be perfect for you, just trust them and you will be okay 🙂 They won’t want you looking out of proportion.
    Good luck, you will be so happy when you’ve done it! Xx

    Hi Sianie, if this is something you have wanted for a long time and you have put alot of thought into it then i would try not to let last minute doubts overshadow your upcoming procedure, yes of course there are risks and if you understand those risks are a potential possibility then that is a good thing but understanding and considering is very different to dwelling.
    All surgical procedures carry risks but they are small and it really depends on if the risk outweighs the reward, i wanted to reply to your post as i am one of the what you might call ‘unlucky one’s’ my BA has not had a great outcome and i require revision so i thought my opinion may help you.
    I don’t like my nose! It’s too big, but i don’t hate it, it doesn’t affect my confidence, it doesn’t dominate the make up i can wear, it doesn’t prevent me from being who i want to be, i dont feel like everybody is judging my nose when i walk into a room, i don’t think my life would be any different if it were smaller it hasn’t held me back so i would not consider having a cosmetic procedure to correct the size of it.
    I HATED being small chested, i hated them even more after breast feeding, i dreaded walking along the beach with my flat chest, sunbathing, swimming, they have allways reduced my confidence, dictated what i could wear, how i carried myself but most importantly how i felt about myself so i finaly did something about it, i would rather have taken that risk than spent the rest of my life regretting not doing it or even constantly wondering what the outcome would have been.
    You can’t carry an umberella round all your life just incase it rains 🙂
    At this point i would not want to repeat the last 9 month but i would not erase it either to go back to my pre-op mentality of constantly thinking about having a BA, i wouldn’t change the choice i made to have surgery and i wouldn’t change the surgeon, it’s been tough but im not i’ll, it hasn’t ruined my life, it’s not my main focus and other factors in my life mean i don’t let it be my top priority, it’s been draining and i have it to go through again but hopefuly the outcome this time will make it all worth it, yes there are some threads on the forum at the moment that are very negative and i have the greatest sympathy for one young lady in particular but after nearly a year on here i have seen literaly hundreds of girls who it has been a positive life changing experience for and a handful of girls who have had issues that required revision, and only a couple who have had to unjustly fight for revision, please don’t let the forum put you off, if this was a C-section forum for ladies who were not pregnant yet and ladies who were post op from a cesarian then the Maternity units would be desserted not bed blocked!
    Good luck to you i hope you can try to raise your excitement level to exceed your nerves in the next 2 weeks xxxx
