Cosmetic surgery/procedures - have you/would you?

Who's had their boobs done?

Now I'm in my 40s I'm seriously considering getting an uplift and implants to restore them to their former glory. I have always had decent boobs but the older I'm getting, I don't like what I am seeing. I've no idea where to start looking for a decent surgeon though. I'm in the UK South Wales area

Start following surgeons on fb and insta so you can see their work. I’ve had uplifts and implants twice 🫣 both times with the hospital group who are pretty good.

I think Chris Wallace is your area. His work looks

I've had a lower body lift, arm/arm pit lift and lipo. Extremely impressed with my results, flat tummy and a nice bum!

I'll get new melons soon and that's me finite

Where did you go for your surgery please?

Has anyone ever been Turkey for surgery? I’m wonsidering it next year for lipo maybe tummy tuck and boobs. Had my boobs done 4 times and I want an uplift and made smaller

Want to look natural and not look blown up like the George shore girls so would appreciate recommendations

Thanks I think this is why I’ve got them in my head too! What was your overall experience like with them? They’ve actually had to cancel my consultation as they’d double booked me but I’m having second thoughts already so going to leave it a few months then see how I’m feeling!

At the time I thought it was all fine. But I had my boobs done again years later with a different surgeon and realised what a big difference it was. With Mya most of my appointments before my surgery were with a patient coordinator who as someone else said, don’t have any medical training. I only met my surgeon once for about 10 mins which was for him to basically agree to going ahead with it.

In comparison, the second time I had it done elsewhere it was the surgeon I met with every time and my appointments were quite in depth with a lot of discussion about what I wanted and what he could realistically do. He was also keen for me to go away and think about it before booking too, whereas at Mya the patient coordinator got me to pay the deposit the same day of my first appointment - it was more sales tactics if that makes sense.

How were the tear trough fillers? I kinda want it done but I'm on the fence a bit. How good were your results and how was the procedure itself?

I haven't had them done yet, im booked in for about three weeks time! I've toyed with the idea for ages too but decided to go for it. Will update here after ive had the appt if you like

Before this nightmare started was due to finally have my upper jawbone rebuilt
most had to be removed owing to my illness., so lost the upper teeth as well. it sounds so vain
but its been horrible seeing the effect on the skin., Everything has dropped down. know people dont mean it
but some of the comments have been really hurtful, The worst was thinking my dad was actually my brother (he's 70)
and im 35.... that really stung.

so decided when its all done going to get some dermal fillers and Joan Rivers levels of Botox

There's a danger with anything as long as people understand that, They explained to me in great detail
what could go wrong like the bone graft could fail or the impants, But for me its worth it.
everything is either blended down to a pulp or not being able to smile without someone wincing
it really grinds you down.

One thing I found amazing is the yourface pillow.
its 70 pounds but really has helped stopped the night damage, The Nurse Jamie Beauty bear pillow
worked for a while but found it hurt the back of my neck

I’ve had my boobs done
I hadn’t been happy with them for about 10 years (after breastfeeding my 2 daughters, they were very odd in size and shape). So I waited a good while... then spent a year researching surgeons. I found (who I think is) the best surgeon in the UK... he specialises in reconstruction, as well as enlargement. I paid the best part of £7k... a lot, but cost wasn’t my deciding factor - it was my safety, and finding the right surgeon with the best aftercare. They look amazing (even if I do say so myself!!) I went up one cup size on one side, and 2 on the other (that’s how uneven they were), and am now a D cup.
I don’t think I’d have anything else done... but I don’t dislike anything else enough or that surgery would be the only option. I could have liposuction for example... but I could also just lose weight!
I do have Botox and I have filler in my nose-to-mouth lines. I used to have lip filler, but I don’t think it looks right on me as I’ve got older.

If pain, money and the fact that I don’t think having unnecessary surgery is a good idea, I would totally get my boobs done. Like an early poster I have tuberous boobs (only realised in the last year that their shape had a name!) and I’d feel more confident if they were ‘normal’. It’s frustrating that clothes don’t fit properly because my proportions are weird.

I’d also have veneers. I’ve had years of tooth/jaw problems that I have always been told can only be resolved with really invasive surgery (breaking both of my jaws) and it’s about 80% cosmetic, 20% functional so I have decided so far not to go through with it.

I do think it’s a slippery slope and the idea of ‘fixing’ things that are ‘wrong’ or ‘too X’ can be quite damaging trying to achieve a standard that doesn’t exist... for myself, I aim for body neutrality (my body is strong and useful, my appearance is not a defining feature) but I totally respect body autonomy for all... if you’ve got the money and that’s what you choose to spend it on, crack on.

I would be very happy to recommend my surgeon - he works in London and Essex and is known as the boob man of Essex !! Lol but I had a tummy tuck then 10 years later eye surgery.
Also bear in mind these celebs who advertise clinics often get surgery for free or are paid to do the adverts.
My surgeon just hires theatre space at a couple of hospitals but is essentially self employed and there is definitely no hard sell at all !!

Well done for losing all that weight 12 stone is a real achievement you must be really proud.

Thank you I am as loosing the weight gave me my precious daughter but in my head I still see myself at that size. X

 

[Fanaff]

Hi I am new to this thread has anyone had any weight loss surgery? I am looking into the gastric bypass would love any support or information

Hello! I had a bypass in 2018. Best thing I’ve ever done! I’ve lost 8.5 stone and it changed my life. If you need any advice, I’d be happy to help

 

[Lulu Goss]

Has anybody here ever had breast implants replaced? I’m getting mine done very soon and I’m terrified for some reason! When I got my first boob job I hadn’t a care in the world but I’m panicking so much about going under anesthesia again

I did! I had my first ones when I was 19 and then had them done again at 26 a couple of years ago. I think the second time around you’re more aware of what it’s going to be like, so that makes it a bit more nerve wracking - the first time you don’t know so just go with it!

 

[Couldlifeeverbesaneagain]

I'd get my boobs bigger so I'd feel more like a woman. I'm not totally flat chested but I hate looking at myself topless to the point where I'm in and out of the shower in 5 minutes. The less I have to see myself, the better.

 

[Barbie2020]

If I had the money I probably would have a nose job. I’m kind of glad I don’t have the money cos it looks too scary for me I’d maybe have Botox or lip filler but I’ll just have to accept my very average and boring look for now lol.

 

[Veilside]

I need to book in for my explant. I had mine in at the same time as you and mine are recalled ones too. glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with it.

How did you find out about yours being recalled? I only found out because a friend of mine who has the same as me went to see a consultant about having hers removed purely because she wanted to. The consultant then told her that it might sway her decision if she knew that they were recalled back in 2019. So really I’d be none the wiser if my friend hadn’t of gone to that appointment. It hasn’t been cheap having them removed either, if I had them removed and nothing else done then I would’ve been able to have them done on the NHS for free, this would no doubt be a long wait. It has ended up costing me double what it did having them put in. Glad they are out though and I don’t have that worry anymore.

Good luck, I’m sure you’ll be fine!

I had implants 8ish years ago but I think I’ll be looking at explant when the time comes around. As much as I don’t regret them I’ve since gone on to have a child and I just don’t think I can go through getting them replaced every 10 odd years now!

 

[coconut_escape]

Only for 10 days while healing
Same as when you get your brows done

 

[derbyshiregirl]

I am 74 and think I am 54 and have what I call a "creapy face" of a 90 year old - it runs in the family. What can I do about it other than having a face lift - a bit scared about that but is there another procedure I could try /

I would go and see someone who does Botox and filler (do research and look at before and after photos) it’s amazing what a difference these tweaks can make xxxx

 

[Ummmkay]

I had under muscle implants, no uplift, originally I was told I needed one but I saw another surgeon who said I didnt, and I'm happy with mine without an uplift and saved myself almost £1500 not having one! The first 3-4 days were horrible but after that it was fine, just sore/tight chest in the mornings but it eases off the more I move around, im a community nurse and took 7 days off work as well as weekends in between but could have gone back after a week off really

 

[User1234_5]

Has anyone had fat dissolving injections?

Yes, tried aqualux and it did nothing. Same with cool sculpting!
