Hi. I'm 19 One of my boobs are a C cup and the other is an A-B Cup. Went and seen my GP and he referred me to a plastic surgeon, I'm really worried about the surgery! Could anyone who has had a Boob job relate to this, or tell me how long it takes to recover, what i should be worried about and how long it takes to go through? PLease e-mail me. Thanks
I'm 15 and have one boob considerably bigger then the other is this normal? Or will I grow out of it please get back to me!
Hi im Kayleigh And im 13 my boobs are really average im a 34 a but the niple bit isnt growin is that natural or is there somethin wrong ? everytime my mum comes in when im in the bath i dont like her seein me so i cover myself up.
i think that it is great that this lady showed and spoke about her reconstruction.this can be a very dificult time for a woman and her family,things like this can,sometimes,help another woman going through this.i recently had a double mastectomy and a few weeks ago i had my reconstrution and i got as much information as i could.if i could help another woman going through this i would.
Hi Jacqui, I'm just at the start of trying to source a good plastic surgeon also for a bilateral mastectomy, preferably in my area - North West. Don't really know where to start, plus would like to see some of their work first. I've a review appt soon so I'll ask the breast care nurses, but I'd really appreciate some further info/advice from you. I don't have the option of my own tissue as I'm too skinny, don't want back muscle using, so implants it'll have to be. I understand that saline implants are now available which are lighter. Did you have your own tissue or implants? If so, what kind - saline or silicone? Very much appreciate your response. Thanks Adele
Think she's an extremely brave lady, good luck to her. Glad that the results was positive.
Wow! What a great woman! I would totally do the same if I was her. I think given the choice I'd rather lose my hair than my boobs. I love my boobs!
One of my breasts is scarred afer being scalded as a child, my breasts are different sizes and one nipple is about 2 inches higher than the other. My whole life has been blighted by my breasts. I constantly have to wear chicken fillets to make the appearance look as normal as possible when I am fully dressed, I always have to be careful that I wear clothes that do not show any cleavage and swimming costumes are a big no. I would love a breast reconstruction to make me feel normal, so that I can get up in the morning and not reach for a bra a chicken fillets before going down to put the kettle on.
Why the critism? It looks bad and I would hate to be left like that. Good for her getting it sorted!
To the comment up the top. I had that to, (a lump under my armpit)I can't really remember what it was but I think it was a sweat gland or something and it's gone now and I was really worried to. But Id defnetly go and get it checked anyway just in case. :)
i had a reconstruction but a different sort i didnt have the in plant and have found mine very effective and glad i had mine done and the lady whome said she found the video disturbing i find that a shame as its informing people of what can be done thks
How did u feel about the boob job? I'm going to have 1 and am very nervous? can u tell me how long it takes and recovery time? Please?
