Hey girls,
Tomorrow will be one week since my op and I wanted to share my experience with you so far!
I went in at 9am last week and had my op at 11:30am with Max Marcellino, I went for a 325 moderate plus under the muscle. I’m about a 30/32B and wanted to be a small D. I’m 5″2 and about 8.5 stone – I didn’t want anything huge, and natural looking was the priority and no huge gap for a cleavage.
I wasn’t expecting the recovery to be easy, and my pain threshold is really good – but nothing could have prepared me for the pain that’s followed 🙁 It’s been really, really hard. I had morphine, tramdadol, cocoadmol and paracetamol after the op and nothing was kicking in. I was a day patient, but Max and the nurses wanted to keep me in overnight to monitor the pain.
I travelled home the next day in a cab, and cried the whole way because of the pain was so bad. I think I cried every day until two days ago, what a wimp. The pain relief didn’t work at all for me unfortunately 🙁 The searing, shooting pains are like nothing I have ever experienced.
Everyone reacts differently to the anaesthetic and the pain relief though, three of my friends had no pain at all – luck of the draw on how your body deals with it.
I get my stitches out tomorrow, and will be able to see my new look for the first time – super nervous, I really hope the pain has been worth it.
I will share photos when I can finally lift my arm to take one!!
A xx
