Partials – Recovery??? Started by: Rebecca

Hi Rebecca I had 390 cc under the muscle and
I am 6dpo and can honestly say it’s been so much easier than I thought it was going to be. When I came around I had no pain at all just couldn’t really use my arms as felt achey but wasn’t unbearable at all. The first day I took painkillers as given but Day 2 I was off them . I definitely needed help with getting things from cupboards and getting changed but had minimal pain again just felt tight like I had over done it at the gym on my chest .My mum had my Daughter for 3 days for me but now my Partner just helps with lifting in and out the cot for me . I know everyone experiences pain differently and I was dreading it but I would do it all over again for sure . Just listen to your body after , eat healthy and hopefully you will recover really quickly . Best of luck with the op you will love them xx

Hi Rebecca, I’m 1wpo, I had 250 hp unders, I’m still taking my pain killers co codomol morning and night and paracetamol in the day, My right arm I can lift to brush my hair but my left arm I still can’t lift above my shoulder, My scars are now itchy and I’m still a little bit bloated, and my pain is more a constant ache just under my boob’s which will be from bruising. I’m a very fit and healthy gym bunny, I won’t be attempting to drive anytime soon. I can and am walking around the house, but am aware I need to take it easy. Sleeping sitting up is a pain and I’m not sleeping very well due to this, which is probably not helping my mood!. I don’t regret it at all and my worst day was day 4 I have definitely got better since then. Please just listen to your surgeon and your own body, we’re all different.
