101 questions before surgery Started by: Becky

Hey, I had surgery on 15th April, my recovery has been really good. I drove again 6 days post op, although it still felt a little uncomfortable. I was able to lift my arms up enough to wash and dry my hair 4 days post op and didn’t have any issues putting it into a messy bun myself after surgery. Tried to get back to some gentle activity the Monday after surgery although walking felt exhausting because of the pressure on my chest, however Ive just built up on this. I would say get your mum or a friend to walk your dog for the first couple of weeks after surgery as if he pulls it will hurt your chest x

I just had my surgery (8 hours ago) I’m in no pain at all and able to lift my arms above my head. I would hold off walking your dog until at least a week or 2 if he pulls, just cause you don’t wanna tear any stitches. Also as you’re going in October take cold and flu tablets prior to surgery as they refuse to do surgery if you’re ill and October-December is when everyone gets the cold and flu! Good luck!!💜

Over/under the muscle is implant placement and your surgeon will recommend the best option for you depending on breast tissue, the result you’re after etc. I ordered my Macom bras however I was away for a few days before my surgery and didn’t have them to take with me to hospital on the day. I ordered one from Amazon so I had one with me that I wore after surgery. It’s never been back on, the Macom bras are pricier but worth the money imo xx
