I have had a BA with nipple lift combined op back in Sept 06. There was a 2cm difference between the levels of my breast so my surgeon RENATO ZACHEDDU at the hospital group advised a nipple lift would even this out without the need for a full uplift which would result in more scars.

I had 325cc in the left and 400cc in the right implanted through the nipple- this left me with minimal scars which could hardly be seen (I went to my GP and he had to ask where the scar was!) The scar not being under the breast also means that your bra wont rub on it whilst healing- much better!

After my op I ended up MUCH larger than I wanted, I was a 34/36B, asked to go to a D cup, I ended up wearing 34F, sometimes even a 34G. Some people may think of this as a plus, until you start to realise, fitting into clothes without looking like youre wearing a tent isnt easy. Bra prices, most shops go up to a D, possibly E cup. Getting a F or G cup bumps prices up from say £10 for a niceish bra from high street shop, to £30+ from larger ladies shop- not much choice either. Going up 7 sizes in one op proved painful and the caused skin to stretch immensely

Also, the difference in nipple levels was more prominent than ever. It took me 4months of battling with THG to get corrective surgery. After months of me chasing them and endless phone calls they finally agreed to correct. I had a 2nd nipple lift on 17th April 07. When I came around I was in WAY more pain than last time, having much more morphine to cancel out the pain.

I had my dressings off last week (I dont think you would be bandaged up with this type of ba and lift) Its not pretty. But fingers crossed the swelling will settle and my breasts will even out. The level is the same now, though my right breast is, i would say at present 1 cup size smaller than the left.

My experience with The Hospital Group has been horrendous. I have been treated appallingly and left with further scars due to corrective surgery as the procedure wasnt carried out right the first time around.

I would not recommend this company to ANYONE.

just read ur message,iv booked to see my surgeon in september.he has already agreed to take me up a cup size in spetember......im 8 weeks post op i had 400c in each breast undre the muscle to take me to a dd and im measuring a c/d.so he said september he would re do with 500c...this was with the hospital group.did they agree straight away xx

Who was your surgeon?

Hi, i'm having my BA on 22nd and i researched till i dropped, internet, surgeons leaflets, but mainly cosmetic sites. Yours is a lesson to us all wabnnabe boobie queens. DO YOUR HOSPITAL AND SURGEON RESEARCH.
There are several advisory services out there, just do a google search, check the surgeons background with the GMC and the Plastic/cosmetic surgeons register.
Pay a bit more if you have to, but get what YOU want.
Yes im preaching and ive not had my BA yet, i hope to hell my new boobs are what i want and have imagined in my head. I will let you all know.
To millie999, take care of yourself and i hope you end up happy with your new boobies.
