Cold compress made it worse for me , water bottle helped me, kept the blood flowing as it opens up your veins n so on so more blood can pass..

I know its warm at the moment so i guess its the last thing you want , maybe just even a cup of tea and pop the mug on the area ?

Turkey mince or mince in general, so easy to cook and light as well.
Throw some veggies in , can get pre copped veggies in frozen section and so on.

I eat this daily high protein helps recovery

I saw my surgeon on Monday finally after having my Op 17th of Jan.
My First appointment with him was cancelled- total pain in the ass

when i went he didnt say much just am i happy – yes
Any problems – no
Squished them together abit and told em to do scar treatment – bio oil twice day.
he had no issues so discharged me …
i’m guessing from what ive read i can wear bras if i want to and also carry on sleeping in sports bras… mainly because they are comfy and easy, especially my zip up fronts.

I went braless at i think it was 5 or 6 weeks post opp, and even for them few hours ( tight dress did give some support ) I was in pain , they ached for the last few hours so I just had to go home.
I’d be super careful especially 2 weeks post opp.

I am 15 weeks post op i think , had my ope mid jan.
I’m a personal trainer, as well as working in a gym so the demand to feel like i look good is 10 times more and i booked a holiday 2 weeks after my op

I start back in the gym soon as my dressing were off(didnt wanna sweat making them smell) i did light cardio because my stiches were also out.
3-6 weeks mainly legs and light cardio body weight stuff
After 4 weeks honestly i was doing very light dumbell shoulder press (4kg) i did this for several weeks and also no weights just at home learning to contract my muscle again because suprisingly you use your chest muscles alot more than you think

6-8 weeks i slowly built up my strength im not back in the gym and running again (two sports bras needed)

Just do it all at your own pace one week i remember hanging from a bar (insicions all healed) and it felt odd same with lat pull down it felt odd
This maybe more because mine are under my muscle . I forget majority of the time and then i go to lay on a bench face down and realise i cant and isnt comfy.

Just go with what you think and know to slowly build yourself back up!

This is so true.
I went in saying around a D/DD he gave me 350cc
I’m 14 weeks tomorrow, I finally tired on a balconet bra which was a 32 D ( i measured myself online i inputted my figures said id be around a 30 D/E ) Me thinking this would fit.
Nope no chance ! I believe i will be at least a DD/ E possibly.
But all shops are different and so on

I have a tattoo literally right under my Left boob, Never thought about it when getting to done as I never thought id every get a BA but , Dr andrea has done an amazing job there is literally one pay fro a line that missing where its has to be stitched up, Rest of it looked perfect you would never know , I wasn’t bothered if looked odd as where its placed but no one would even know unless i told them

I got some soft cupped bras from Morrisons ( yes a supermarket ) the NUME section just elasticated and padding in the front , mainly to shop nipple showage.
So comfy too ! !00% would recommend

Kirsty , I’m a personal trainer so i work within a gym.
I laid off the gym for 2 weeks, ( thats when i got all dressings off and could shower) started with light cardio so bike, and treadmill really or long walks outside when weather was nice.
Resumed leg training after about 4 weeks again just light until I was told by my nurse lifting lighter things shouldn’t be a issue.
As im a trainer I know not to push myself as much as I want to
I’m now 3 months PO and I am still gaining back my strength, Im not back to my 100% as i do feel slight twinges and will 100% leave any chest dominate moves out for another month or so until ive seen my surgeon.

Just go at your own pace if it feels weird ( everything does at the start) just take it easy or stop.

Ellie , I was back at wor after a week as i couldnt afford more time off as i only booked a weeks holiday as i dont get sick pay. I was still on painrelief for that week and explained i can not lift anything.. my manager knew about my OP so he was aware why as we are very open.
I was back in the gym around 3/4 weeks post op and just did light leg work nothing too much and some cardio on a bike or crosstrainer just to get use to my new body essentially. nothing that would hurt and if it did i stopped.

I’m 7 nearluy 8 weeks po and i dont feel like i even have fake boobs or had surgery, compared to week 2/3 when showering i had to make a new shower routine, was not use to them on my chest.
Under the muscle i feel looks more natural and when i do tense the muscle the implant moves with the muscle
Best news yet my NOW boyfriend told me he loves them ( knew me way before theOP) and feel 10 times better than real ones!!! WIN !
Enjoy every moment the highs and lows !!

After 4 weeks i was told i can wear any kind of supportive bras, i got a few fabric ones from morrisons with small padding to hide the nipples. 6 weeks po i was told i can wear unwired bras through the day or go a few hours without one. i went out braless in a quiet tight dress and even after they hurt alittle to the touch the next day , may of just been swelling. if your nurse has said otherwise stick with what she has said.

I had mine done wuth dr andrea 5 weeks ago! 6 on tuesday,
Under the muscle 350cc
I love them! So happy with them so far, i had a tattoo under my non existent boob and hes matched it back up like ive never been cut’ healing so well still got some dropping to do but this is a top i got yesterday and a photo from tuesday 21st!
Cant wait for my left to drop abit more and even out

I had my op 5 weeks ago tomorrow, I’ve measured myself with a tape measure and inputted it on to a site which determines the size, I got back 30 E
I started as a 32 a/b ( band was always little bigger just for ease of buying really) and I had 350 Unders

Easily you will get around, tell them exactly what sort of size and they normally tell you if this is possible.

Ive taken 3 weeks , they say 6 weeks before doing heavy upper body stuff

My pc said if feels odd or hurts obviously stop

I got a loan, i didnt get accepted with mya. And my bank did an even better rate than expected.
id look at your banks 100% girls go with the one your currently hold an account with of get a credit card and pay that of monthly if you just need that extra little bit?

I was going to wait and save but im so happy I just did it rather than waiting!

I had my op on the 17th
In novemeber when i was looking into it I was so dead set on overs due to recover time and under the muscle made me more scared…
After seeing my surgeon He explained to me that I am small and if i was wanting massive boobs if i went over rippling is more likely to occur and also seeing the edge of the implant and so on.
The recovery may be longer for unders ( i weight train 6 times a week in the gym this is why my recovery is long) but I have had no issues at all 3 n half weeks on im fine.
Even to begin with i was not in that much pain and also the recovery for me has been easy. I think with the implant been under i’ve felt like they are alot safer ( which is probably nonsence)

Just look into the pros and cons for you, They do say Unders look more natural if you are prone to loosing any weight if you do and also because the muscle is over its just glides over the implant ( if that makes any sense)
Pick wisely. you are paying alot and its a big investment

I just used nivea on my nipples and around to stop flaking n jjst some pads to stop rubbing

Im 3 n half weeks po and im currently swapping between a few sports bras zip up from amazon which were £4 and also a soft one feom the nume section in morrisons was only £6
I wear these all the time and dont think od wear anything else when i am signed off.
The nume one sits like a normal bra so cant see no straps its just they are bigger straps but has abit offiam padding at the front which stops anyone seeing the nipple

I had dr andrea on 17th so just over 3 weeks po! Love mine i have high profile round mentor unders only 350 but photo below is attached! Love them so much!

Im only 2wpo and i feel the same. A few friends have commented saying maybe only a C which i started out as a a/b i wanted at least DD!
Hoping when they fluff out they will look bigger … even if they arnt.
But i will be so annoyed if im only a C like everyones saying, even if they do say the size suits my body

Speak to dr andrea he said to me i couls go as natural or as fake as i wNted as he would provide that look as uts what I desired … within moderation obviously as depends what they think your body can handle .

Andrea told me the bigger the implant over the muscle cam cause rippling amd see edge of implant so if wanting the faker look id go under personally so you dont get the ugly aide effects

I had mine done on the 17th of Jan
Op was at around 5 pm so iw as discharged at 9:30 pm ish. the best thing was going home and getting in my own bed after a day of waiting around.

I live around 1 and a half hrs away maybe 2 depending on traffic, and the nurse said if I feel up to it thats fine as i was eating drinking ( ALOT) and i had no side affect from anything.

I changed my bedding that morning too so i got to get into my own bed with new pillows and fresh bedding. Was the best feeling and i felt so much more relaxed

I had dr andrea on the 17th of jan
Hes so amazing! He came in as his usual self marked me up and then said he would see me soon. He came into the room as they put me under and when i woke he came and saw me to ensure i was ok.

I’m only 12 days post op and ive gone through many emotions but looking good so far

He is so lovely if you have had your meeting with him you will know this if not hes so relaxed and listens. I wanted overs but he told me the benefits for me having unders and so on and i knew he was thw right surgeon for me!
Few more weeks until i see the final result and see him again but im sure i will be happy with the end result

I started out at 32 a/b and got 350 high profile round unders
Photo attached so far

Louise i used the leeds clinic.
My oc is amiee she’s absolutely lovely and helped me so much i was emailing her non stop for 2/3 days.
I went with dr andrea hes so caring and aamzing , not much on here about him but hes so lovely and put me at ease.
Only had my op on 17th of jan so still early days ive had 350cc unders and i can tell you now im in hardly any pain, just my breast band thats tight that hurts and morning boob.
I know everyone’s recovery is different and also surgeons. Amiee said to me i can speak to as many surgeons as i like before choosing but andrea was perfect for me.

I also went to transform for a consulation and had the worst expeiernxe just felt so rushed where as mya my pc asked me about me, and why, what dofference it would make to my life and also what i actually knew about the company and the surgery in general.

Go for as many consulations as it takes ! Best thing ive done!

I’ve got a pillow under my knees/ thighs , my bum and back hasnt hurt too much while sleeping now and stops me sliding down

I got a loan from my bank. Helps my credit rating and also better APR rating. Mya fiannce devline me probably due the fact i have no credit rating…

Maybe look at it that way if already have some saved you could just get the rest as a loan? Ir full loan and keep savings?

Just a thought

Lauren my op went well, apart from the 5 hour wait , and got hom midnight last night.
Dr andrea is super lovely puts you so at easy, i cried coming round so i told him off for making my cry which ha laughed at.

I havent seen where my inscions are just yet as i have dressings on , have my post op monday so will see then,
I dont have a BA account but my regular one is just amberr.mitchell

I’m taking 2 then swapping to paracetamol after 4 hours , finally taken them awful socks off was cutting off my circulation!

I got ibroprofen , cocodamol and my anti biotics.
I cried coming round and then i felt ok, trying not to rely on my cocodamol too much , had a ok sleep, kept waki up to shuffle myself back up my bed and have a drink of water. My ribs just hurt now.

Ive had 350 high profile round … everything seams pretty fine at moment.

I have whatsapp , i will private message you my number hannah xx

Poppy! Ive just had unders mod or modplus i beleive not looked just yet but i have 350ccs i have a very wide frame and my pec is small as i am only 5ft my upper body is smaller than average to have long limbs… annoying when it comes to buying clothes.

Try the sizes on again, i tried mine on 2/3 times and then knew 450 was the size for me as looked natural, i know you dont get a proper guesstimate for post op with the sizes but helped.
Now they are in they look pretty similar size to what i tried them in the office. Starting to swell alot now as i only had them yesterday at 5pm so will see how i go.

They dont look that far apart and look a decent high if not abit higher but i know they need to soften and drop.

Speak to your pc , take some photos, ask family and close friends this helped me realise i was going for the right sort of size!
Xxx

I had mine yesterday 350 unders , does anyone know how tight the breast band should be if you have one , also my left feels alot harder and like the implant is higher compare to my right, he did say the was going to lower one pocket due to asymmetry but i cant remember which …. or am i panicking and its probably just swelling?
any advice would be great

Jess i was wode awake in my room i think its the lights been so bright. Soon as i got in car i wnated to sleep, but i was miss satnav from my phone, and my back was causing me some pain. But apart from that all ok, swelling has started too so alittle bit tight at the moment.
100% us 3 girls need to keep in contact keep the spirits high and so on especially on the bad days which i can see been tomorrow xx

Oh jesus! What a rush!
I’m still sat in my room got to wait till 9pm for last observation and to go home. I’ve had unders only 350 so wow you must be in pain im not too bad at the moment can see the next 3 days really causeing me some pain!

Im sure either eay they will look amazing!

I think i saw you wlak in the other theatre when i was coming round

Ive just been told i am next but the op thats going on is a long one so hopefully shouldnt be too much longer !

Yeah 2 guys saw me n put numbing cream on because im a wuss , that was at 1:30 ish . I hope its not much longer either … really drained now , startibg to shake my body hates me right now not having nothing in it x

Im already planning my order from dominos , going to order it on my way home. Only good thatcomes out of waiting this long is no rush hour traffic to sit in! Really hope its worth the wait.

No jess i’ve not been told anything last saw someone at 1:20 , not seen dr andrea yet so no markings either yet.
Just want it done so i can bloody eat!

I was admitted at 12 , got here just before , not eaten all day or had a drink since 10

Actually feel like my body is eating away at itself!

I still need to get some ice packs and im laid in my room now. I could be here a while as well maybe not out till late this eve due tk them having a few long procedures in …. i dont want to wait much longer !

I have my op tomorrow so i will let you in due course , im hoping he does nice insicions as i have a tattoo that slightly comes where i think it will be!

When i met him pre op was so lovely and said what he would recommend for me and matched my visions !

I’m ag preston tomorrow at 12:00!
Dont know if im excited or nervous!

My op is on Tuesday! , i take bcaas all the time and drink them throughout tattoos and i dont bleed so clearly doesnt effect you in anyway (i know its not exactly the same but just something to relate to)
I have bcaas everyday with dilute juice!
I will be having some bcaas the day of my op because my admission time is 12:00 so i wont eat, id rather have that in me so my body doesnt start eating away at its self

Bcaas stop muslce breakdown , and will help repair as well as your current muscle not wating away at itsself plus doesnt stay in your system that long, i drink 2 scoops of bcaas a day in 2 litres of water. And protein shakes will 100% help with recovery to build back muscle and tissue and so on.

My nurse didnt say anything about not having them to me. Doesnt effect your system in anyway medically, or shouldnt.
I’ll be using a blender to make protein smoothies n my shakes as i doubt i’ll be able to shaker a shaker the day after!

I really hope its not too long i want to be in out and home trying to get comfy.
My mums pick me up some ta lets cor bruising and aparently good for if go to dentist … nice to know.
Will find out name also for everyone. Going to pick up a V pillow this weeked or treat myself to two new pillows!
Not long now!!

Get your self some multivitamins, Some chewable ones and also capsules , take 4 or so and should get it out of your system and all of the usual things like lemsip and so on.
If youve started yesterday I think you should be fine for Monday !

Ive woken up with a sore throat today and a sniffle hope its just the cold weather , and also from me shouting when I taught on Monday !

I have 12:00 Admission time, Did want early but I suppose this will have to do.
I have my Macom and a few ones from Amazon was only £5 each so got myself one, will order another when I know its a suitable fit

I’m Getting 350cc Hoping for around the same around D/DD size although I think they might end up been bigger

I’m booked in with Andrea Tuesday also.
Ive not been given my time just yet which I really hope is an early time as im planning to stay over and so much better at not eating on a morning than in the evening.

I’m Staying over on the 16th the night before just as I wont be worried about getting there on time as I live around 2 hours away, and if there is traffic and so on I dont want added stress.
And with it only been around £50 for one night stay for two of us! bargin
I will be driving there and my mums driving us home, Taking a pillow or two for the car to make sure im comfortable and cushioned and anything else to put me at ease for the journey home

I’ve bought a few tops in a size up which I normally buy slightly bigger shirts because of how broad I am with ym shoulders.
I’m taking a button up shirt and also button up Pj top thats nice and soft ( also incase I need to stay in over night) , Will decide what to wear home on the day
