Anyone had 'boob job' with Spire?

I'm having breast surgery very soon with Spire and was just wondering if anybody has had anything done with them? Or if anybody has experience of a breast augmentation?

Getting slightly nervous!

I am a 34 A at the moment but due to big weight loss they are verrry saggy. I'm fine with a small chest just felt really self concious due to their lack of shape which is why I'm having it done.

I initially asked for the smallest implant they could give me but was told that if I wanted a good shape to them then the smallest implant wouldn't do as it would not fill my excess skin. The smallest I could go to get the desired look would be 300cc.

I've never wanted big boobs as such but anything is better then what I have now. In my mind I'm picturing a D at most? But been told that it depends on each person and how much tissue you have to begin with. I was hoping for a full B but I have prepared myself to expect something bigger now lol

I had mine done in 2005 in Cyprus (where I live). Only up to 250, under the muscle.
One of the best things I ever did, absolutely no regrets.

Update: Have had it done and now 6 days post op.

Boy it has been one rollercoaster ride. There was so much I didn't know. Recovery is HARD. I am having help washing, dressing, everything. And it is very painful.

I also was expecting to wake up with perfect boobs but its not the case. It can take up to several months for implants to settle and look natual at the moment i have frankenboobs!

I also suffered from a bit of post op blues and still suffering from 'morning boob' terrible pain in the mornings.

Really wished I had researched more as there is so much the surgeons dont tell you. I would have gone ahead with it either way but least I would have been better prepared.

I am exhausted, even walking around the house drains me of energy. And driving is a huge no no.

Thank god for my husband thats all i can say!

If you are planning on having this done, then please be prepared for a lot of recovery time!

Hope you feel better soon Joey, what are the things the surgeons don't tell you? I've always wanted mine done but fear has stopped me.

Thank you :-) They just don't really tend to go into much detail about recovery and what you can expect. I assumed i would wake up with perfect boobs haha, and was told i prob wouldnt need an over night stay - wrong.

Don't get me wrong the surgeons are excellent but they are not with you when you are going through the healing process at home and neither are the nurses - they only see you after surgery and for wound check up etc. So they can't tell you that you are going to need help washing your hair, doing chores or even washing and dressing yourself.

Of course everyone heals differently but i have found that the vast majority take a while to recover.

I have found a lot of support forums especially for boob augmentations really helpful - if it wasn't for them i probably would think it was only me experiencing these things!

I wouldnt let fear stop you, obviously recovering from a major op isnt going to be easy (i was just stupid and didnt consider it lol) but its well worth it in the end and I think most ladies who have had it done will tell you it was the best decision they have made :)

Just be prepared, whether you are a working mum or stay at home mum - you will need at least a few weeks of recovery. Im nearly at a week post op and still have limited use of my arms x

Hi i am also thinking of having some implants at parkway, can i ask which consultant you used and realistically how long was the recovery period? My husband works away and i have a six year old to look after and don't have any family in the area so its a massive decision for me to go through with this if i do, thanks in advance, hope you are happy with yours now you are finally through the other side.
