  • I was a 12DD and had 450ml put in. I was impatient and didnt ask enough questions. Im now a 14B. I put on 10 kilos in the last 2 years, so that hasnt helped. Too much cake to make me feel better ....but they were nice LOL.

    Its odd when you go to buy a bra now. You think oh yeah Ive got 2 again I can get some pretty ones. When you try the bra on your boobs dont move at all. With your old boobs you could push them and smooth the bra around, not with these babies.

    Please also ask to see the implants, you can get different profiles.

    Take care

  • Hi Annie I have been told the 450 ml implants may be used I am a 16 dd at the moment don't mind smaller but is this to small the surgeon said they would end up 500 possibly 550 ml - supposedly large enough - really hard to gauge - I am trying to lose as much weight (sensibly) as I can before and after op so should end up with a size 12 frame - I am assuming that boob size on that frame will be great? hopefully the hormone treatment amotase (possibly) will not stop me from losing weight as some have said? Ladies??? I am no carb almost vegetarian eating pattern so maybe that will conquer weight gain and aid weight loss. Anyhoo thanks again Annie you input is invaluable x
