    Hey,
    I had my B/A on sunday (2nd Aug) I am fine, and i am able to dress myself and pick up the kettle and make a cuppa, and even wash under my arms, and its only Wednesday today, so i am very suprised at how mobile i am already..
    my breasts are quite big and swallon, and extremly tight and hot, and very high up on my chest, they arnt painful as such just acing, like im pressing on a bruise.
    I want to know after 3 days is this normal for my breasts to still be hot and swallon?

    if anyone that has had their BA done and are furthur into their recovery tell me, as im not sure how i am meant to feel..
    On the other hand if anyone is thinking about having theirs done, and wana know about my experience, dont hesitate to message back and ask me, as i feel fine, and am happy.

    Jessie

    hey jessie!
    congrats on your new boobies :)

    its totally normal for your boobs to be that way at the mo. it can take weeks for the swelling to go down, so dont worry! the hot feeling didnt last too long with me, i think its just cuz the skins soo tight! so that should in a few days once your skin starts stretching! try bio oil, i strating using it from about day 3 post op and its been wonderful! soothing and no stretchmarks yet!

    happy healing!

    Hi Sarah,
    thanks for that, i just wasnt sure what i was experiencing was normal or not… yea i am going to buy bio oil tomoz, do i just rub it all over my chest area, and keep in away from the dressings??

    yea im so happy with my new boobies i cant wait for a holiday now, so i can wear a bikni and show them off, i am getting married sept 2010 and im really excited about trying on dresses, but i defo dnt want stretch marks!! so fingers crossed the bio oil works..

    aw congrats! i bet ur so excited :)
    ye just make sure you dont get oil on ur dressings. you might notice that your boobs make some squelchy noises for the first week or so. its just air pockets, totally normal!
