Post op girls and soon to be post op I will rate mine soon..:-) rate your pain level between 0-10
I know everyone threshold different but I’m bloody nervous and. Want to know how much it does hurt by comparing ratings so gawjus lovelies if you don’t mind <3
5! It’s uncomfortable than pain every now and then some shooting pains it’s just the feeling that’s uncomfortable. I think iv had it easy tbh 1 week post op and day 3 was the worst! No sickness or anything from tablets I was so nervous about it but I’d go through it all again really was fine xx
pain in boobs.. 4
it was the meds that i had a nightmare with lol.. so id give them a 8/10 for makin me ill!
you’ll be fine though, nerves are normal 🙂 xx
I’m awful with pain everything hurts me can’t even get waxed! But I’ve been so suprised after my BA I haven’t had Any ‘pain’ at first it was a bit uncomfortable lifting my arms and if I Layed flat it was hard sitting up but that was only the first couple of days but I really haven’t had any pain at all… Shocked to be honest but very pleased thought I was going to be in agony! Im 2 weeks post op and feel normal Xx
I reckon the first two maybe pushing it to three days was about a 5/6 … Then after that it was fine. I didn’t have any issues with painkillers, antibiotics or bloating. The worst thing for me was upper back/neck/shoulder pain for a couple of days when I went back to work! But I think I was pretty lucky hearing some stories on here!! x
pain in boobs 1, pain in back and ribs 20 haha x x x
Like 1 maybe 2 when I tried to sit up haha! Xx
Hi, I’d say it’s uncomfortable but I had pain and intense burning as mine were quite bruised which eased off slightly after I had the strapping off but day 3-5 I won’t lie 9/10 lol this is a mixture of back ache, the medication making you feel dizzy and drowsy and burning and lots of pressure in them, I which tends to increase first thing in the morning as your body is stiff no medication inside you so I’d say keep water and paracetamol at the side if the bed lol …..I think I must have a higher pain threshold in my stomach and a really low one in my boob area ha ha as lots os people I know didn’t have any pain but I have had 2 C sections which I found less painful and I was driving and walking around fine after 5 days, everyone is different Hun my friend has had 4 boob jobs she had one operation on the Monday and was teaching a gym class on the same week on the Thursday!!! For me the pressure is easing today on day 10 just the back ache is driving me mad and i was back driving day 8 and back in work but I know either way a weeks pain is well worth it looking at everyone’s results and changes at 6 weeks onwards looks fab and that’s what I can’t wait for their pics are keeping me positive lol xx
Aww bless you all beauts, thank you for your feedback! <3 so from what I’ve gathered you’d agree that majority of the whole post op experience is mainly a uncomfortable feeling more then pain but back pain is mainly because of position of sleeping upright?
And @rinx 😮 20? my gossh really my natural reaction was fear lol I really hoping I can handle the post op but super super excited wish there was a fast foward button so I can skip the healing process to fully healed ha! :-S xx
when it comes to blood and gore anything like that im fine I can deal with it I love it! but the pain NOPE, it was the pain in my back from sleeping upright and then pain in my ribs obviously from the surgery I hated! but the boobs themselves are fine! to be honest as well I stopped taking pain killers on day 2 didn’t need them I was just being a drama queen xxx
When you say pain in the ribs what do you mean how does it feel like? Sounds painfull when you just say ribs! And haha niCe, ok guilty I am like big baby! When it come to needles and small cuts so I am basically hoping I don’t cry on the day lol did you have unders or overs? As if you had unders could that be reason you had alot pain in your ribs? Xx
basically just bruised ribs from the pulling about im guessing and also the weight, as my ribs sometimes hurt now from the weight of them but im used to it now, I had overs xx
Ah ok sweet, yes I’m having overs too, have you lost any sensation on or around your areola and nipple? I’ve got concerns that my nipple will flatten and my sensation is important to me I would feel less womanly without the sensation in nipples I think would you? Xx
I regained sensation within a month and I had overs xx
Oh ok that’s good then, I’ve told my surgeon my main concerns and he advised that nipple errection and sensitivity wares of between 6-9 months but varies I just hope I don’t lose it completely! so the meds are really strong then from the sounds of it, does anyone know if we are aloud to ask for lower dosages? And does it affect your diet with what you eat? I’ve heard some girls get constipated post op xx is it a could thing to pack some tablets for those
with both of my ops I was constipated and really ill just due to me reacting to the GA badly, and the antibiotics everyone is different tho I know a few girls that went shopping after there op as they dealt with it really good! the pain killers they give you are pointless to be honest they are horrible just make you sick better of just taking paracetamol xx
Thanks darl, I’ve packed some paracetamol and ibuprofen so Il buy some constipation tablets too, I’ve got a week off only so back to reality after that, not too happy that wount be able to do anything on New years eve il still be recovering do you know how long after we can drink after surgery I know we can two weeks before but not after I’ve got my pre op on the 22nd xx
You can ask for codryamol, it’s what I had as codeine makes me very ill. You can also ask for some anti sickness tablets before you go under as it’ll stop you feeling sick when you wake up 🙂 xx
Oh really, thanks for that hun, il defo need anti sickness tablets I need anti sickness tablets for long travel journey too! I’m awfull like that x
1st op 460 unders – 7
2nd op 615 overs 1
a walk in the park this time around, I only took painkillers day 1 post op and was fine after that!
@Kaydee Stafford that’s fantastic with your 2nd ba, I’ve researched that the 2nd ba is always easier as the pocket is already there from the 1st ba hence surgery is quicker and healing process is easier too xx
Week 1 pain was low maybe 3 or 4 week 1 is tr easiest at first
Week 2 strapping off, the weight of them feels strange, back ache & sleeping causes pain an the odd time u move awkward u might get a second of pain then it’s gone again. Back ache & sore nipples/nipple pain for me was higher like 7/8, I had a bad time for a few days
Week 3- suddenly feel loads better, sleeping is easy so back ache goes, can sleep one side etc. pain is like 1 or 2 now, just sore skin from the stretching & nipples still hard & sore.
So I’m half way through my 6 wk point & it’s almost over with any uncomfortable feeling
When’s your big day? Xx
Ps – bloating & constipation was the worst bit for me, horrendous!!!
Hey ameliajj I’ve still got few weeks ahead of me till surgery have my pre op on 22nd and awaiting for my patient plan through the post.
So with the strapping you wear it for a week only? I’ve heard few girls mention blistering on chest did you get this? Xx
I got a few tiny blood blisters on my right incision where the tape irritaed my skin & the whole time my right one felt more sore than other side, it all made sense after! Look at my pis of incisions & u can see it. It wasn’t that bad and it healed in 3 days after strapping came off. I’ll upload some more pics later as my scars are amazing now at 3 weeks they healed so fast & my boobs are dropping & softening just nicely now. Bet your excited xx
Ohh yess defo excited, I know il go all emotional on the big day tho lol nerves aswell the more closer it gets feels surreal! And yes that be fab tthanks let me know once you’ve uploaded those I know some girls get blistering from strappings just curious if they scar afterwards xx
I think for me it was that my skin was all ready stretched, I changed from unders to overs due to complications involving the muscle so the initial pocket was destroyed and a new one made. x
@Kaydeestafford yes could be darl, I personally wouldn’t want to ever have my muscles touched its just personal preference really, so I’m glad I have plenty tissue to cover my implants over the muscles X
@candybabey you’re dead right on that imo, my unders were a case of I wish I knew then what I know now lol!! Even before the complications they were so uncomfortable, I never got the strength in my arms back and well, your breast just isn’t meant to sit there. I have very little tissue but overs were still the only way to go this time around! I wouldn’t recommend unders to anyone in all honesty…. There are a lot of misleading studies that give the impression unders have a lower rate of CC which really just isn’t true! Those studies always used textured unders and smooth overs, it’s the smooth coating that increases the risk not the placement at all. Complicated this boobie business :p x
I had a pectrol inflammation before and litrally the doctor there was telling me as I told him are the inflammatory tabs ok before surgery that he wouldn’t suggest under the muscle neither it’s way better over the muscle, but obviously many cases are unders and no complications at all but I don’t think I would ever want to touch any part my muscles leave them as they are, and even if I didn’t have enough tissue I would have started off with a really small implant to stretch the skin for a bbigger one later rather then sooner if my only option was unders if you get me lol xx yes I’ve Bbeen doin my research hehe xx
