Girls who have recently had under the muscle BA, please help! Started by: L87

i had my op on wednesday afternoon going from a 32a/aa and having 335/325 under the muscle. i haven’t had kids.

I’m only just starting to feel normal today. if you want to enjoy the christmas period then i would advise against it. especially with a 4 hour journey. mine was 10 minutes.

the day after your op tends to be the worst when the meds wear off from the operation, and your body adjusts to the other drugs. if it was maybe 5 days before xmas then i would say go for it, but otherwise you’ll end up grumpy (like me) through lack of sleep, sleeping at an angle, and struggling to eat anything due to lack of appetite. and don’t get me started on my bloating!

haha sorry, don’t mean to put a downer on it, but i’m sure you’d rather hear what can happen. everyone reacts differently to the procedure, but for me, having unders is painful.

it would make more sense to get it done if you don’t mind being out of action for christmas though. if you family and friends know that you’d be spending it with that you may not be in the mood.. besides, you won’t be able to open your presents 😉

if you need anything, just give me a shout

Hi Claire, I’m also 5 days post op and I had an uplift too. I find that if I sit in one place then the pain is almost non-existent. It only hurts my when I move, also I’m only taking one of the pain killers instead of two as I feel the pain is bearable. I also have a dog but I wouldn’t be able to walk him yet though. I’m staying at my mums house as I still can’t lift anything like the kettle or open the microwave etc.

I would say go for it but you probably won’t be doing that much on Christmas Day.
I’m on day two and still sore and this was an exchange of implants as I had pips so wasn’t as much recovery. I had under the muscles both times, first time 290cc and as I’ve had two children and breast fed the surgeon recommended 350cc to close the gap this time. I am about 8.5 and 5ft4 stats at the moment x

I’m able to move around and do more today so if it was Christmas Day today, it would have been fine for me..

I’d get it done, it’s a life changing operation, plus you’ll have your family around to help you out. Just make sure you relax for the first two days. I started rolling my shoulders to stimulate my pectoral muscle yesterday and feel so much more at ease today.

Let me know how you get on and what you decide xx

Hi

I’m 5 days post op. I was 32a and had 270cc unders to get a good B cup. I’ve had and breastfed 3 kids.

I think if the people you’ll be spending Christmas with, will know about your op, then definitely go for it!!! If they’re understanding, you’ll be able to just sit and relax and enjoy it all.

My first day was the worst in terms of pain. On the second day the pain wasn’t bad at all, but I was definitely really slow and wary of any movement – and also really tired! 5 days post op I’m definitely more mobile and confident moving my arms etc. Just be aware that if you have unders, you may need to wear a big fat compression binder so you can throw out any slinky/sexy Christmas outfit you have in mind! Xx

I had my surgery abroad and managed to wander around a shopping centre whilst waiting for the airport trip for a good few hours (we did have coffee breaks but that was more cos I had anxiety), the flight home was 1 hour 20 minutes then an hour 15 minutes in the car.

I then rested the whole day after.

This was my 2nd op under the muscle but did include an uplift.

I would say if I was in your situation I would go for it. You can avoid taking the annual leave, you won’t be bed bound, you’ll just need to take it easy but that’ll be the case at any time.

Whatever you choose, good luck 🙂

I had 400cc unders same stats as u and I couldn’t do anything for 4 days…. no sleep and uncomfortable breast band did it for me…. if it was me I would wait till after Christmas…. as I can eat drink and be merry then…. I was so bloated and full of codiene I couldn’t imagine eating a Christmas dinner…. full unders are very different recovery to partials or overs if u were having partials or overs I would say go for it but unders nahhhh…. take it from me hahah and I went through labour with no pain relief’ I am in no way a baby about pain hahah xx

What difference does it make to have them over the muscle and under the muscle is one a better result !! ? As I’m haveing consulatation in December , -also in your first consultation do they measure you up to see what’s suitable or is that on another consultation

Thank you Lucy big help 🙂

By the way I also have a 3 hour journey to Wales on the 24th (boyf driving) and I’m still keen to get it done. I’ve waited so long already that the idea of waiting till next year just seems rubbish!! x
