Recommendations Pls

Hi Ladies,

I have been snooping for a while...

Need a bit of help ..

here is my current stats:
Height 5ft:
weight: 62kg
Bottom size: size 12
Top size: 10
Pre op boobs: completely FLAT 32/34a..

I am currently in london and I would like recommendations of good BA surgeons around the area.

When reply - pls state the type of implant you had and the size.. also unders or over etc

I am trying to draw up a list of surgeons that I can go to for my consultations

Thanks for your help in advance

Apologies if there is a thread for the above already - i couldnt find it

Hi Prettylil,

I had my surgery at The McIndoe East Grinstead and can't fault them one bit.  They have numerous surgeons working there and I believe you can have a couple of consultations with different surgeons for one cost.  All of their surgeons are on the BAAPS register.

I had Roger Smith as my friend had got good results from him and came recommended by my doctor as well.  Mr Periera is someone my doctor also recommended.

The McIndoe give you waterproof dressings, its a small thing but I was showering the next day which is rare post BA, most girls have to wait a week or so before they can shower.  The Centre also gave me gas and air to remove my drains and the food was amazing.  I seriously want to go back there for an overnight stay!!!!

So I would recommend having a look at their website and do a bit of research on them!!! That's just me though!  I know there are hundreds of happy girls with recommendations to come your way!!!

You can find a list of BAAPS surgeons in your area HERE

Draw yourself up a list of the surgeons babe and google to see what you can find about the surgeons... Given they're all BAAPS surgeons they will all have excellent credentials, so you will see a good qualified surgeon whichever you choose.

If money is tight and you may not be able to afford the £100/150 fee for a consultation from some surgeons then you can see a BAAPS surgeons at MyBreast from as little as £25 hun. X

I had my surgery in London with Miles Berry through Aurora (he also operates through Cosmetic Surgery Partners I think) I'm 5'5 size 10-12, was a 32B and now 32E and had allergan natrelle 385cc high profile implants, under the muscle xx

Thanks Nicole - still searching

Cookie - how are you doing? I know its a bit early and I have not read your diary (cant find the link to it) but I know (from noseying around  ) that you have had a bit of issues ..

how are you feeling now?

Awwww how lovely of you to ask Lil  

I'm doing really good thank you. Xxx

Hi Cookie ... just looked through the BAAPS list for some of the surgeons I am liking and none are on there ... 

Please help ..

I have booked 2 consultations now - one with MYA and the other with Transform ..

I am not going with transform (just to scared) but just wanted a consultation to get yet another opinion and since its free why not

Its definitely worth going to see transform and MYA even if you don't want to go with them like you say its great to compare to (many of us ladies have been with transform and have been very happy) but if you want a BAAPS surgeon look at mybreast, spire or booking privately with the surgeon as then you KNOW they are registered baaps/bapras :) xx

Hi Jenniferr1 - i will def be going with the consultations i have booked ..

I wil try one or two BAAPS surgeon also just to get an alround feel .. then decide ..

You are rite a lot of ladies have gone with transform and also non BAAPS surgeons and are happy

I guess ur gut feeling is really the key here

You won't find BAAPS/BAPRAS surgeons in these clinics babe. BAAPS/BAPRAS really are surgeons who are at the top of their game lovely and those types of clinics just don't attract them.

If you're seeing a surgeon who is not a BAAPS/BAPRAS member it really is so important t check the surgeon out on the GMC register. Its very important that you have at the very least a surgeon who is on the specialist register for plastic surgery. Its been found that some surgeons at these commercial clinics are only specialised in 'general surgery' or not on a specialist register at all... This is why with a BAAPS/BAPRAS surgeon you get such reassurance babe. You KNOW you're getting a fully qualified surgeon who has not only worked hard to gain membership but is also kept up to speed on all the latest techniques and these surgeons are tested also to ensure their surgery is up to par throughout their time in membership of BAAPS/BAPRAS.

As Jen said, there are some good surgeons who aren't BAAPS/BAPRAS registered but please, please do your homework on them if they're not lovely and check them out on the gmc register as well as googling them. Xx

      

 this is so much harder than i ever thot it will be ...

ok Cookie - THANK YOU SO MUCH and i mean that!!!!

I have earmaked 2 private surgeons - Mr Karidis and Dr kremer and will do more research on them..

I would also look for more surgeons who are either BAAPS reg or good at the trade ...

I see a lot of the girls here have gone with companies such as THG / Transform etc ..

Will keep at it - thanks for the nudge

hey hun, I went with transform paul Clarke.. I was recommended him and was not disappointed :) he was so kind and understanding, however I did go for a consultation with another surgeon and he told me I had childs chest and made me feel completely like sh*t... this surgeon said I could only have 100cc :S ,a woman who worked for him said she doesn't believe hes rite and he must be having a bad day so she booked me in with paul

anyway my stats ;p 


Height 5ft 4:
weight: 62kg
Bottom size:10
 Top size: 10 (was size 6/8 befor op
Pre op boobs: 32 a (just about)
post op: 32 dd

I had 280cc overs hp :)


Xxxxxx

its good to go for a few consultations and meet different surgeons and see who you feel most happy with and trust . good luck xxxxx

Hi Rosy,

Here are my stats, it would be nice to hear from ladies who have same stats as me also:

Height 5ft :
weight: 60kg
Bottom size:12
Top size: 10
Pre op boobs: 32 a (just about)
post op: 32 dd (target)

I agree with everyone so far. You really need to do a lot of research and make sure you feel comfortable with who you are going to use.

Try not to worry about your stats as different sizes will have a totally different impact on each person. I have just had 420cc implants and I was panicking they were going to look massive, but so far they are fine. Although I am nearly 5'10 I was only a 32a and size 10 up top. However the surgeon assured me that as I had wide breasts beforehand this size would be good. He was correct!!

My surgeon is not BAAPS registered and he does work for a large clinic. As others have said, look on the GMC website and pop in the surgeon's registration number. That will tell you if they're on the specialist register. You want to ensure that they are on the specialist register for plastic surgery and then you know they have the correct qualifications.

Good luck, I'm sure you will work it out. Have as many consultations as you need. I had four in the end to weigh up all the options, plus further ones for sizing after I'd decided on the surgeon!!x

Thanks ladies .. @ cab321 .. yes I am going for consultations 1st with as many as i can afford within my budget .. my consultations will be to decide sizes / type of implants etc ..

Next stage for me will then be deciding if I want to go with the bigger companies (which i am slightly wary of due to any aftercare issues and not been able to get hold of PS etc - such as cookies issues with transform) or go with the private surgeon.

Next stage will then be looking at the after care offered by each ..

I will def be taking my time ..

My eyes are also on the guy Douglas who finally rectified Cookie's issue - but he doesnt seem close to me ..

Thanks Cookie for the list above - I will look into each one ...

Again - ladies - THANK you so much

When looking at clinics such Spire and MyBreast, do ask if you can see more than one surgeon for the cost of the one consultation fee if you're unhappy with the first one lovely... Hopefully they'll say yes and then you get 2 for the price of one! Lol

Also... BAAPS now have an insurance called ASC. This is only available to BAAPS surgeons babe and not all have opted in so do definitely write that down to ask of any BAAPS surgeons you see. If they do have the insurance then you will benefit from a further 2 years aftercare for an additional cost of about £150 which is absolutely nothing when you consider the possible costs should you have a complication. Its a fantastic offer pioneered by Douglas McGeorge. The insurance also starts AFTER any aftercare offered by your clinic runs out. So... If you get I think its a years aftercare from Spire, you would then get 3 years aftercare with a BAAPS surgeon. MyBreast offer 5 years aftercare, so you'd essentially get 7 years aftercare with them also with a BAAPS surgeon! So as you can see its an incredible deal for little cost, so do ask about that sweetie. Xx

now ladies i am in tears!!! so much care its unreal!!! i have not told anyone in my family i am having this done except the other half and he is very sceptical (just a culture thing)

Sweetie, there was no culture thing between myself and my husband but he too is very anti-cosmetic surgery - still is! Lol

This is honestly more common than you might think Lil... But if he loves you, regardless of his opinion he will respect and support yours as I'm sure he will  

My husband never wanted me to have surgery and I know you'll connect when I say my husband told me 'he loves me just the way I am' its something I've read here over and over again from many women with their other halves saying exactly the same! It can be hard for our lives ones watching us put ourselves through elective surgery and unless they're living your anxieties about your body, which is impossible for them to do they just can't fully understand... But they can support and I'm sure as my hubby and many, many guys after him have done, they'll go along with it because they love you age its what you want  

As for not telling your family or whoever else you may not want to tell, don't ever feel pressured to tell anyone Lil. This surgery is all about you and your body. Its no-ones business but yours and as a grown woman the choices you make are yours to to tell whoever it is you wish to.

I told my family and best friend when I had my first surgery Lil and they were a nightmare, so when I had my second it was a conscious decision not to tell anybody. Of course my husband and family knew but that's it. I feel no guilt at all about not telling anyone and I'm not lying in not telling them either.... So you stay strong Lil, you can and WILL get through this with the support of your other half  

awwwww - Cookie!!!!

u r so right!! i have been thinking what do i say .. wen i suddenly go from nothing to ALOT ..

I have tot of every possible lie (LOL).. will jst ignore them .. wont be telling anyone - asides the other half and my son ..

all the others .. I will just ignore ..

thank u babes
