Hey Sio, I too get concerned about potential health risks. I recently started searching for natrual ways to increase breast size and came across this video on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZcEwddf5Fg

I am thinking of giving it a try. If anyone has used this before and had good results please let me know.

Hi All,

I am seriously considering taking the plunge and getting a breast augmentation but am obviously really nervous about the health risks among other things. Have got loads of info from just reading through the forum but obviously hospitals/ surgeons can't be named. Would be really interested in peoples experiences, where they went etc. I want to go to a private hospital and am willing to pay more for a reputable surgeon and good after care. Would really really appreciate any advice on this

My email is siobhany77@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Can You Really Increase Your Breast Size Naturally?Most women who are not blessed with big breasts often go for surgical breast implants when they want to increase the size or shape of their bust line. However, these procedures can dangerous, very expensive and may even have side effects after the surgery. Natural breast enlargement alternatives which can be also very effective in enhancing the size of your breast and do not have any health risks to worry about.The size of your bust is determined by the amount of hormones produced by your body.

Thus, there are many ways in which we can enhance it.Natural Breast Enlargement Methods:    Hypnosis. Hypnosis is the combination of the different hypnotic techniques which require relaxation of the mind and body. It also includes visualization on what we would like to achieve. This procedure enables us to communicate with the inner levels of our body such as our cells, tissues, muscles, and nerves which contributes to the development of your bust size. It tells our body on how it should work and that it should produce enough hormones for your bust to develop.    Exercise. It is very important that we work out. Just like any muscle it needs tending to be shaped the way we wanted it to be. There are a lot of exercise programs in which you can shape up the muscles found in your breast. To name a few are he-man press, butterfly press, and praying press.    Yoga. Yoga does not only relax your mind and your body but it also help you shape your busts. It is an ancient practice known for its meditation exercises.    Aroma therapy massage. Massage coupled with essential oils that helps in developing the size and shape of your busts are also very effective.

Just like any other surgical procedure, there will always be risks associated with breast augmentations. Regardless of the possibility of risks, the breast augmentation procedure is considered to be the safest. When it comes down to the implants used during a breast augmentation there is also the risk of complications. One of the biggest issues associated with the breast implants are the possibility of rupture after the completion of the breast augmentation procedure. In general, unless the implant has bacteria in it, the saline filled implant is usually harmless. However there have been numerous complaints associated with the silicone implants. In the event that the implant ruptures the only course of action is removal which means another surgery. There may also be the chance of a capsular contracture. When speaking about the capsule, what we are referring to is the scar tissue that is located around the implant itself which is formed by the implant procedure itself. As time goes by, this scar tissue may become thicker. In the event that it becomes too thick, the space needed for the implant becomes too small. In the end this can cause an implant rupture if too much pressure is applied to the implant. Another possible breast implant dangers is a hermatoma. In the event that you get a hermatoma or even a seroma blood will build up inside the soft tissue of the breasts. This complication may also lead to a capsular contracture which in turn may eventually lead to a rupture of the implant. There is the possibility of loss of some or all of your nipple and breast sensation as well as the chance of pain for an extended period of time after the recovery period. When it comes to loss of sensations or an increase in pain, these both may range from almost none, to excessive depending on the type of incision that you chose for your procedure. As with any type of surgical procedure, there is the risk of infections in the area that was operated on. This infection can be localized inside of the implant pocket or along the stitch line but the possibility still exists. Breast implant dangers are a possibility but the best way to lower your chances are to make sure that you are well informed about your upcoming procedure.

@Aine, please read the DOH advice on choosing the surgeon etc. Again i repeat, check that the Surgeon is on the Medical council general register, and not just the specialist register, I undersstnad some doctors on the specialiast register are doctors who fly in and out of the country to practice i.e. not pernmanently employed in ireland

Before considering Cosmetic surgery, please read the Dept of Health's recommendations which has been updated following the disaster of the PIP implants scandal and the lack of follow up care by an original provider. Please ensure your surgery is carried out in a reputable hospital; that your surgeon is someone whose practice is pernmanently based in Ireland; that have experience with doing breast reconstruction + read the DOH link below:

http://www.dohc.ie/issues/cosmetic_procedures/

Check the guarantee period offered, keep the original paperwork required & ask after how many years will they have to be removed. Please consider very carefully. Cost varies -

Hi everyone,

It's great to hear your experiences.

I recently lost 7 stone and unfortunately my boobs have suffered from it :(

Im only 26 so i have been considering a breast lift without implants. Id like to have an idea of how much it would cost etc ,before i book a consultation so that i know i can afford it and im not wasting my time.

I was wondering if any of you have had this done or maybe have an idea of costs etc?

Thanks I really appreciate it,

Lisa

I've decided i'm 100% going to go for a breast enlargement this summer. However, i am overwhelmed by all the different websites and companies available on the internet and i would love if someone who has had a positive experience with an Irish surgen to email me with their details. I'm very nervous but excited and want to make sure i receive the best treatment possible. I'm currently living in Galway.

Hi everyone,

I've been looking to get a BA for years now and have finally decided to take the plunge. Its so brilliant hearing everyone's experiences, I'm researching different hospitals and clinics at the moment and amn't sure where I should go. I know we're not allowed discuss names of clinics online, but if any of you girls who've gone through getting a BA and were happy with the results, could you email me with where you think I should go? I'd be so grateful!

Hi,

I am a third year student in NUI Maynooth and and I am doing a sociology thesis on the medicalization of cosmetic surgery. My research question is 'to what extent does the medicalization of cosmetic surgery influence the decisions of Irish women to alter their bodies for the sake of beauty?'

I wish to interview women who have undergone the process. If anyone is willing to give me an hour of their time I'd be extremely grateful! i'm finding it difficult to find anyone who's had it done! The interview can be at whichever time and location suits you best. Confidentiality is assured.

I had BA done 10 years ago by a Dublin clinic although the procedure was in mullingar. I was originally disapointed in the size as I think I went from an AA to a small B. Anyhow my left breast has now gone hard.. I went for a consultation with my surgeon who said it was the capsule that had gone hard. I explained that I had occasionally experienced a pin prick like stinging sensation every once in a while.. I believe it might have ruptured a little though the surgeon will never own up to that. I have an apt made for a mammogram but I know I ll have to get them re done. I don't know if we are allowed to mention surgery clinics by name on this site but I would really like some recommendations where to go as I obviously don't want to return to my previous surgeon. Please help

Hi there, I'm new to this and was wondering if there is anyone in the same position as me...

I had BA in 2005 (best thing I've ever done!), but the clinic is now gone. And I'm concerned about the possibility of having PIP implants. The advice being given for these concerns, is to contact the implanting surgeon - the information in which I don't have. I don't know how to find out if I could have these PIP implants.

Any advice??

Thanks!

Hi all, I am due to have my BA in Dec. I'm 5" 6 and a 36A

I wanted to be a D cup so my PS has suggested 400cc  silicone round implants to be placed under the muscle.

I am due to be back in work 5 days later as the boss won't allow any more time than that, I only do light paper work (administration work)

If there is anyone who has gone through a similar size and placement would you get back to me and let me know if this would be possible as I might have to reschedule my procedure

Thanks!

Hi I am having a ba on wednesday. i'm a 34/d but empty after breastfeeding so ill let you know the outcome, sooo nervous but looking forward to it at the same time. there the surgeon inserts a sizer during surgery and decides then what implant size suits you best......

# 570

Posted: 21/10/2011 18:29

Hi all.. I had a BA done about 18 months ago.  I got the teardrop shapped ones and got them over the muscle.  The reason you are told not to do much exercise for six weeks is to ensure that the capsule has started to form so that the implant wont move and this is more important with teardrop shapped ones.  I have to say I am delighted I got the teardrop ones because I have recently lost weight and they still look really natural.  I know that if I had the round ones the top line would have been very obvious.

At the same time I have had problems with one of them as I have mild encapsulation called scalloping which has become noticable since I lost weight.. while this is not noticable to touch or when I have a bra on, when I am lying on my back one seems to move much further to the side.. Just something to be aware that can happen..

Re size.. when I was initially thinking about it (10 years ago!) I always said that I would just go to a b r small c probably so no one would notice and think I was just a plastic boobed bimbo!.. In the end I went with a D and basically just told the surgeon to balance me out in proportion to my hips.. so delighted I went with that size even though I was worried everyone would notice but to be honest.. even if they do notice not many people are going to have the guts to ask you straight out and I love them so much it really doesnt matter. at the end of the day its about your own confidence and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about it.. I'm sorry I didnt do it years ago instead of feeling miserable about it.

Good look all!

Hi Ladies, I decided 2 years ago i wanted my boobs done for definite i had a nice full 32c but over time they deflated to a 32b a small b. I was gonna get my BA done in Thailand but becaue of the recovery process and after care consults you need with your surgeon i opted for Ireland.

I went for my 1st consultation tues in Dublin with a surgeon that did a friend of a freinds BA. He was lovely and filled my in on this new implant typle that doesnt drop or rotate compared to other this one he advises to get for this reason. I got to try on a few sizes but i found it very difficult to decide 1 size looked very natural i think its would leave me with a c cup 325cc i think and the other i would def be a d cup.The d cup looked too big for my frame but then what plays on the back of my mind is everyone saying how they wished they had gone bigger.

Has anyone regretted not going for the bigger size? I was looking at going back to my 32c size as im quiet petite and the tear drop shape under the muscle.

I feel quite confident with this surgeon even though i will see a few more before making my decision.

The surgeon also says that with a round implant, if you were to walk down a beach topless people will instantly know you had a BA but with the tear drop shape they will 2nd guess you had it done. The friend of a friend i mentioned earlier showed me her boobs and filled me in on her experience. Hers dont look big at all under a top but in the bra they look amazing and fit her body perfectly, but i do think if i had hers on my frame they would look crazy big.....

The surgeon also says you can go out walking the next day as he uses the 24hour recovery method created by a dcotor in dallas usa and it involves lil bleeding they say the less you bleed the less pain.Ehich is what we all wanna hear. But i guess everyone is different and has a different pain thresh hold.

Thats my experience so far. reading on this site and seeing other irish girls out there are looking for BA's is comforting.

My main concern is the recovery as im in fitness and i cant be out of work for 6 weeks....Has anyone gone back to working out b4 6wks?

Im so excited now i think im booking mine for june 2012. obviously i will do more research and do more consults, for those ladies who have experienced it all any ifo thrown this wat would be great....

Hi guys, it's been great reading all your posts. I've got a few (well for than a few!) questions I was hoping you mght be able to help me with. I'm a single 30 year old and have decided after years of being unhappy with my boobs, after splitting from my long term partner and coming thorugh a bad car crash that I would treat myself to the thing that I wanted the most - a boob job. I will have to take 2 weeks off work, and as I have a very high pressure job I don't want to loose my summer holiday - so I'm thinking of getting it done abroad as a sort of holiday. Has anyone had an experience of this? I've had a rummage online but all the websites look so dodgy that I'm really not sure if it's such a good idea.

I am also concerned about breast feeding in the future (if I'm lucky enough), has anyone been through pregnancy and breast feeding with implants?

I'm also wondering for the most realisitc effect with least scarring what implants are the best options?

Thanks so much for your help! x

Hi Everyone

I am new to this forum.  I want to get a BA done as my breasts have lost volume and one is quite a lot bigger than the other.

I went for a consultation last week and met the Plastic Surgeon.  He seemed very informative but told me there was no need to wear a bra after surgery???

I have read a lot of happy stories on this forum and was wondering if anybody could give me the name of a good PS or clinic where they have had a sucsessfull BA.  My email address is smdelaney2@gmail.com.

Your help and advice would be greatly apprecited.

Hi Irishfairy.. I had a ba 12 months ago this month after years of being unhappy with mine.  At the time the consultant suggested that I may also need a lift but as it turns out the the implants alone were fine.  I had the teardrop ones but the round ones might be better for fullness at the top but the surgeon should be able to advise you.  I went to a surgeon recommendation from my GP, cant mention the name on this page but he is considered an expert and has been called as a witness for malpractice suits in court.  he also works as reconstructive surgeon for ppl who have had breast cancer.  He charges €250 for an initial consultation and nothing further after that other than the cost of the op. He is defo one of the more expensive ones as he operates from two private clinics although I have to say I was glad of a private room after the op. I paid €8,100 in total (2k of which was purely for the hospital) but to be honest I was so impressed with his approach and credentials (after plenty of research) I didnt go to any other consultations.  I brought my sister with me who had also been to other surgeons with my mum who was researching a face lift and she also had the same impression.  Be wary of any surgeons that try to convince you to get something done or offer big discounts etc. My understanding is that most reputable surgeons will charge a consultation fee and genearlly dont have to advertise.  I know this is defo the more expensive route but this is your body and I'd rather pay more for peace of mind.  A year on I am absolutely delighted with the results and just kicking myself for not doing it years ago.

Hey everyone,

I know nobody has written here for a good while but it's pretty much the only thing I could find where I could actually write myself...

I have been thinking about getting a breast lift for ages now, 5 or 6 years. I'm 25 years old and my breasts never looked nice. They have always looked like triangular bags and I'm extremely unhappy with them. My boyfriend's opinion differs to mine but I just feel horrible about showing them and developed a certain body position to make them look their best, which still isn't great but better than at natural body position.

Now I have lost a good bit of weight over the last 6 months and on top of the shape they look really deflated. I used to be a 36D at most shops, you know the way sizes differ sometimes. Not too sure what I am now but when I wear my old bras there's a good bit left to fill.

So I am thinking of getting a lift and enlargment. Don't want to go huge, just back to what I used to be, it worked in proportion as I'm tall and nowhere near skinny and never will be and don't want to be either.

Do I already pay for the consultation? I just want to talk to surgeons and find the best one and make a choice then but can't really afford on splashing out on a couple of consultations...

Hello RUKA,

I totally understand your concerns about your ps advise! I was told not to wear ANY bra, and I did listen most of the time. I found maternity bras with no underwire ver helpfull at times (I had one from my days of breastfeeding).

I read about a few people on the board I posted in my last message who were told to wear an underwire bra by their surgeons. I think I also read about a girl on this board, who had surgery in wicklow (?) and who had to wear a underwired bra. Do you have your stitches covered? I would worry a little if they were uncovered with the wire rubbing on them. In any doupt always listen to your ps!

Good luck and good healing!

Oh and with housework, I did only light housework at your stage, but started lifting my baby the odd time at 2 weeks. Im 8 weeks post now and so far everything is fine!

Hey guys,

I have a few questions about the sports bra after the BA. I have met my surgeon and he seems to be very different from others as he told me not to wear a sports bra after my BA. He said he doesnt like the look they give you in the long run, as in, he thinks they flatten ur new breasts. he told he to buy a super suportive underwire bra. NOW i am totally confused as I have been researching BA for years and thought that you were never supposed to wear underwire bras after the BA. :(  I am going to listen to his advice as he has been doing this for over 20 years and I know he is very specialised! But im still aprehensive. Has anyone else been given this advice? I probably will not be able to name the surgeon on this forum, but from what I have gathered, a few of you have had BA in the same place as I am going. All advice welcome!

Also, after 2 weeks will i pretty much be alright to go about my daily life?? I hope they dont sit up toooo high, i am going quite small anyway so i know they wont be massive. Im sure i will be able to disguise them. Thank god its winter! ha ha........

Hello Anon.!

About your last point, pregnancy after the BA, I think you will get lots information on a different forum. I dont know if I can put the link on here but I ll try ;) its justbreastimplants.com/forum

Its very informative for any issue regarding BAs.

Hi Girls, have to say I totally agree with all the advice that is being given on here. Ok So i'm exactly 6months post op now and feeling just great. Defo dont judge them straight after or even a couple of months after as they do drop and become more natural looking as time goes on. Its a total patience process so dont rush in to anything. After all you are putting your body through an operation and introducing total foreign objects to it so give it all the time in the world it needs to heal. I started trying to get really healthy pre-op, took supplements and just ate healthy. I dont smoke thankfully but if you do it would be worth while trying to quit pre-op. the healthier you are the quicker the recovery I think for sure.

Just remember you've all waited all your life for this so just do everything right and the gym will be waiting for you when your body is good and ready. I actually still wear non underwire bra's to work everyday as I feel it has defo helped the scar heal quicker, I'm using bio oil after every shower but only started this after about 8 weeks as the scars would have been too raw if not!

A couple of people have said to me.. oh the boobs on you tonight, but I totally play it down, chicken fillets and gel bra's, I feel its my body, my business, my best friend know, my sister, my mam and my boyfriend and thats it..! people will always speculate bout every aspect so let them off.. you dont have to confirm anything to anyone so dont worry about that side of it.

I would really love to hear from someone who has had the op and had a baby since, i am trying to conceive now, 6months post op, my surgeon said its totally fine but i'm worried as to how pregnancy would affect my new boobs. it will also be perfect excuse for me to tell people why they've got bigger ha!! so has anyone given birth since having a BA? I would really like to hear from someone who as.

Meanwhile best of luck to all the other girls, and any questions, please ask.. Anon x
