Hi, I had just an uplift yesterday , having implants in 6 months time. The pain isn’t too bad at all a lot less than I was expecting. The anaesthetic literally works straight away and you will be awake before you know it. Felt more dizzy and sick for a few hours rather in any pain as they give you morphine during the op. I had some tramadol and anti sickness tablets at at 10pm as I started to feel a bit of pain, but it was more an achy pain rather than a sharp pain. I’ve had the drains in all night, and some pads strapped round my legs which constantly vibrate to help with the circulation, and this has been the most annoying thing as they kept me awake and kept making my jump when I was drifting off! Asked the nurse to finally take them off about 2am this morning, so I’ve managed to get a few hours sleep. I am tired more than anything else! Also means I can now take myself to the toilet rather than keep ringing the bell! Also I was really thirsty when coming out of the op, I also hadn’t drunk anything all morning and I didn’t go down for my op until 2.45.
Hope this helps a little bit x
