I just had my breast enlargent at singlebergclinic with Dr Oelbrandt. I found my Surgeon on the breast enlargement abroad and did my research about my Surgeon. My biggest releaf was that he often come to London for consultation so I don't have to worry travelling all the way to see my Surgeon. During my first consultation my surgeon went through the whole process with me and also gave me handouts to read regarding breast enlargement. He also put my fear behind me by showing me pictures of patients he had operated upon. Date was fixed and off I was in this little Town of Antwen where I had my op. Everything went on as already discussed by my Surgeon and was back to London in a short time. I got healed in no time and the scar nearly gone. My breast look so natural even my boyfriend thought I might have put on some weight at the upper part of my body. If I had known it was this easy I would have gone long time than going about with a silicone bra that I am always ashamed to take off so people don't see my saggy breast.

I'm thinking of having a breast uplift as I've been unhappy with my prematurely saggy boobs for a few years now. I've been doing some research and the procedure sounds pretty horrific and i'm worried that i'll be left with visible scarring.

Had my PIP implants removed and replaced on Friday!
Im back from the hospital and here is my story!
Friday morning I took the bust to Glasgow, then another along Great Western Road to the Nuffield.
I arrived at the Nuffield hospital 30 mins early and booked myself in. The time is about 1:15pm and its Friday 20th.
I was shown to my room and I was pleased that my surgeon, Mr Shoaib was already there and he had my MRI results.
He said that there was no rupture but implant bleeding had taken place due to the unapproved gel inside my implants not being what it should be and the poor quality of the implants after 7 years they were bleeding the silicone gel into my breasts. He said that hed only seen this in 15 year old implants.
The good news was that due to the implants not being torn he didnt need to make such a large incision to work on the removal and my operation wouldnt take as long so I was moved forward for the surgery to happen at 3:30pm.
So I go into the ensuite and get into my hospital gown and put on my disposable underwear which I almost put on my head lol. I come out, sighing with relief I had realised they were underwear and I sign my consent form which Mr Shoaib goes through with me.
Then the nurse comes and asks me questions about my current health and allergies etc.
Another nurse comes later and checks my blood pressure and pulse.
Shortly after, the lady who brings the meals comes in and asks me what Id like for dinner later. I am not really listening to her recommendation which she points out in the restaurant style menu and I agree that Id like it, lol.
I am waiting impatiently for things to start happening and then the anaesthetist comes and chats with me and asks me questions. He explains about what he does to send me off to sleep.
I am constantly looking at the clock and finally 3:30 arrives and two nurses arrive to take me to the operating room. I get into the hospital bed, they makes sure Im comfortable then they wheel me out.
I get taken into the elevator which I think goes down, I was too nervous at this stage to pay much attention so cant really remember but we arrive at the preparation room and I switch from my bed to the operating table and Im wheeled into another room where I have a friendly cheerful chat with the anaesthetist, he makes me smile and feel more relaxed and I am given the canula in my hand then given two injections which quickly knocks me out.
Next thing I am waking up and I dont remember for less than a minute what Im doing in the hospital! The nurse reminds me and at the same time I remember.
I start to feel some pain so she gives me pain releif through my canula.
I am still very drowsy and Im taken up to my room, I cant remember this journey and how I switched beds again but I am coming round more as I lay in my room.
I start to realise the PIPs are gone and I have me new boobies and as I peer down I can see how big they look compared to my old ones. I cant believe my eyes that I have large breasts now and I just look down in amazement and wonder if Im dreaming!
Next thing Im wondering when I will be having some dinner. Its not long before my dinner is brought in and it does taste as good as the food lady told me.
I am often visited by the nursing staff to check I am alright and to see if I need anything.
Later my surgeon visits me to see how I am feeling and tells me he removed 6 of my lymph nodes which were swollen and that there was silicone fluid surrounding my implants. Also, he removed my capsules which he said were sticky and this is what he said hed seen in capsules surrounding poor quality implants.
I am so pleased that he has removed all of my problem lymph nodes rather than just one and I thank him. He tells me they will be sent to the pathology dept. and the results will probably be available in 7 days.
I have an over-night stay at the hospital and sleep very well, awake at 6am Saturday morning, nurse pops in to see Im ok, I am given my breakfast at about 8am which I chose from the menu the day before which looks like the menu youd see in a restaurant!
Later, at about 9am Mr Shoaib comes to see me, checks all is well and tells me I am ok to go home today. The nurses prepare me for leaving and I am given pain relief to take home.
My mum comes to get me and we take a taxi to the train station to go home.
So now I dont have to worry about my rotten PIPs, they are out of my body and they were disinfected, sealed and packaged for me by the lovely hospital staff to take away to give to my solicitor.
The staff and Mr Shoaib were very good to me at the hospital . I felt at home and very comfortable, watched TV and used the wifi internet connection. I felt like my surgery was tailored to suit my needs from a medical and cosmetic perspective.
So here I am back home with my 460cc extra high round nagor impleos and I cant believe how big they look!
I am now feeling very impatient, they have to settle and drop, I want to try on my new bras and especially cant wait to have the bandaging taken off.
Hope you liked my story.

(This was posted on the evening on my BA on Thursday 29th July )
Hi ladies,
I've had my BA today at Transform abbey pines hospital in manc with Linda Fiumara. I could not be happier with how everything went. So here's my story....
For the last few days I've been really really nervous, not sleeping and crying at any given moment. I'd convinced myself that I would be one of the unfortunate ones that something went wrong to.
Got here for 1130...was admitted at 12. First impressions were good, got greeted and taken to the room by someone who was quite stern and really short with me which left me even more apprehensive...but I shouldn't of worried at all.
The room was lovely, nicer than some hotels I've stayed in, en suite, wardrobe, 2chairs, side table , mirror, tele and bed. I quickly got dressed into gown, sexual paper pants haha and waited for what seemed hours. A nurse arrive Larvena (I think that's how u spell it) to check weight, blood pressure . Temp etc. I told her how nervous I was and she totally made me feel at ease, joked and gave me a hug. Next was the man who puts u to sleep (the bit I was most anxious about) he was LOVELY made me feel relaxed, explained the procedure and I was really pleased he automatically gave anti sickness and meds through the canula so no more nasty needles. Next linda came in the mark me up and she was once again just absolutely wonderful told me that she would be nervous if I wasn't nervous lol. We had originally planned 380cc but after seeing linda she asked me to trust her between 340-410 and make the decision when she was doing it..I totally trusted her. She then got some of the implants and told me to try them in the mirror and her manner was so gentle it made my nerves get replaced with excitement. At 2.15 I went up to theatre and this is where the tears started I'm such a wimp. When I got in there the two ladies were lovely. Very chatty and reasurring can't really remember going to sleep except for someone stroking my hair. :) next thing I know I'm in recovery room with the hiccups lol. I was wheeled down to my room and transferred onto the bed with a drip for fluids attached. My bra and pjs were then put on and an ice pack. I was allowed to contact home straight away.
The nurses are so so so friendly and can't do enough for you, seriously !! I've had no pain as linda put some numbing stuff inside to ease the pain. I've had my antibiotics and some pain killers because (sorry for too much info) but even tho I'd had loads of fluid I couldn't wee so the pain killers help relax ..did the trick. I had a lovely 3course dinner and brought loads of goodies to munch on. I've had the drip removed and just watching tele.
Getting woken at 7am eeek! You are offered a sleeping tablet but I refused just to see how I get on. The only downside of GA is my lips/eyes/hands are really swollen :( but hopefully will subside. I cannot believe i was so nervous I couldn't ask for anything better!!! Not seen them yet, until the morning so will keep u updated. Any questions from what I've missed let me know. Xxx p.s no drains yipeeeeeeeeeeee
