Well Crunchy, here I go with my "I know it all about boobjobs" speech!! (Although I don't...).
I knew that the side effects I have were a risk, I was told about it. I used to be a 34AA and very very self-conscious as, even though I'm 5ft 8, I'm a standard size 12 so with small boobs, felt really insecure and out of proportion. So, went to see a Consultant at the local private hospital and he agreed to do the op. I told him that I wanted them to look "natural" and not at all Katie-Pricey!!
Strangely enough, at the time I was in a houseshare with a girl who had just had hers done. They were fab!!
So, because my boobs were small and high - but pert, there wasn't enough loose skin around my boobs to do them the usual way, over the muscle, so they had to cut my muscle and put them underneath - ouch!!! .
My Mum tells me now, that I was in so much pain, but looking back (I suppose this is what they say about childbirth), because I was so pleased with the results and so happy, I don't remember the pain at all and would do it all again tomorrow!!
Some people have theirs done through the nipple, hence why more problems with breast-feeding. But because my scars are underneath, they don't damage the milk ducts or anything, so fingers crossed will be fine. A bit unsure about the feelings though because I might not be able to tell whether the baby's really feeding or not...
All I would say, is that if you really want to do any operation, get a really good Consultant and have a really thorough and frank discussion with them. Mine was brilliant - even sent me a bouquet of flowers to the house after I got home from hospital - bless!! Make sure you full understand all the risks and what the chances are of things going wrong.
But then if you still want to do it, go for it. I did and never looked back!!
