When the tightness and back pain go away? :( Started by: Barbara

Hope this time it will work uploading the photo ??

Hi hun I experienced this awfully! My shoulders/neck upper back was in agony and the tightness was horrendous I felt I couldn’t breath properly at times and got really panicked! I’m 4 weeks post op tomorrow and by week 2 the tightness should subside x

Hi!! I had exactly the same issue. I’m just after my 12th day post my op with 450cc hight profile overs from A/B cup. I must say coco butter helps your skin and nipples to relax a little and preventing from puling. Specially when applied before bed time. After 9 days post op I could sleep flat- and that’s when my back muscles could fully relax and loosen up. Every day will be better!!x

Hey everyone, I had mine done at the beginning of December 2018, 300cc round, smooth, high profile, I’m about 47kg and 5ft, I’ve gone from an empty 32A, to a 32DD or 30E and I love them 😀 The pain was quite bad in the first week, I’m not going to lie sometimes it felt like the painkillers were only taking the edge off the pain, it was very uncomfortable but bearable. (It does get better – trust me) As for the hunched back and tightness in my chest, it took a good 5 – 6 weeks for that to significantly change and go away. I didn’t sleep properly for weeks, I slept upright for 2 weeks which was impossible, I basically didn’t sleep, so in the end they let me sleep elevated at a 45 degree angle which did help as I was desperate for sleep. They say 2 weeks off work, the reality is 3 would be better if you can. I haven’t had any complications and I will be 6 months at the end of May, but I haven’t overdone it, I was careful not to raise my arms much for 4 weeks and I’ve only recently started exercising with a good high impact sports bra on. Everyone’s different, but if you want them to heal quickly I would recommend taking it easy for as long as you can, as frustrating as it is sitting around, I haven’t got any pain whatsoever and my boobs look so natural (which is unbelievable considering I was an empty 32A before) I felt so much better at about 5 weeks, the first few weeks were tough and it’s to be expected, it’s a huge shock to your body, I had dual plane/partially under the muscle, which has a longer recovery. I didn’t have any strapping, just wearing the bra all the time in the beginning (so important! For swelling and keeping them in place while your body heals) I had big patches on them, which came off after a week, them strips that came off after 2 weeks) it was amazing how quickly they healed, as scary as they look to begin with, they have faded so much and they are below my boobs in the crease so I don’t even see them. I am so happy with them, they were more than worth the pain at the beginning, hang in there and take it easy xxx
