To those who have had this done.

I have a cushy sit behind a desk all day kind of job.

Do you think there's any way you could have gone back to work after just one week off if you had a desk job ?

have seen the cinsult ant today and he's going to aim for D/DD. I'm getting really excited (and a bit terrified too) about it now!!

I did 10yrs ago. Went down 13 cup sizes.

Had bad time of it with severe infection and 6wks stay in hospital, and 5months daily visits from/to district nurses, required further reconstruction and 18months off work.

ANY REGRETS you may wonder.....

NO

If they got bigger again i'd go through it al again tomorrow, hand on heart thats the honest truth. Yes I was dissapointed that I had so many problems, but my aim was to have a smaller bust and thats what I got so how could I possibly regret it.

Oh well maybe one regret........that I hadn't had the op years earlier.

Hope this hasn't put you off, these problems are very rare and i've yet to hear of anyone who suffered like that. Believe me it was WORTH IT. I haven't looked back.

Good luck hope all goes well. Enjoy the new you....I am.

just wanted to add, scarring is not too bad considering and as for the pain, well, not too bad considering. I think I was on such a high having had the op that I didnt really feel any pain. I still look back and think "piece of cake".
