26. Comic

At my next consultation, we agree a date for my third operation to replace the temporary implants with permanent ones. We negotiate dates around half term holidays, pre-booked diary entries and my son's exams. I'm keen to do it as quickly as possible but understand that the expanders have to do their job to create sufficient space under the muscle to ensure a more natural look eventually. 'More jiggle room' Giles says technically. I've never had breasts big enough to 'jiggle' so am starting to think there may be a silver lining at the end of the journey.
Giles says this is a further overnight stay but my recovery should be quicker. I let work know that I will need a further week off in a couple of months.

My penultimate expansion results in a pair of stuck-on comedy breasts that are spherical and protrude alarmingly and solidly. I'm uncomfortable and self-conscious when I go to work straight after and wish I'd worn a different top. I'm aware that I'm hunching my shoulders slightly to hide my expanding front. I will need to book some physio when this is all finished.


My husband looks slightly bemused at my profile, and then concerned when I tell him there is one further expansion required before my final operation. You'll need bigger feet soon, he says. I don't think this is covered by the insurance. After a closer inspection, my husband is looking interested, are they really going to get bigger?
