    Hi ladies, I’m 2 weeks post op today and I’m finding that my boobs feel so sore and like bruised, I have notice they have soften loads and seem bigger. I’ve had to take some painkillers tonight. I’m wondering if it’s cuss I’ve been driving this week or if this is normal? Xx

    Yeah I think it’s just normal. I’m 15 days post op today and I feel better today. I think with me going back to work, driving, cleaning and being a mum again this week I’ve probably just done to much. I just rested last night, took some paracetamol and put a slightly bigger sports bra on and I feel fine today.

    Laura I can’t really say much about your incisions cuss I left mine alone for two weeks and kept some tape on them, I’ve only just removed my sterie tape last night. Just keep an eye on them and if your worried just ring your surgeon. Xx

    Hey!

    I was wondering about the pain too, because I ran out the painkillers they prescribed after the op today. So I’m just going to use paracetamol. But I’ve heard that the pain can last at least for the first 3 weeks, side of the boob hurts but i think thats from the drain?

    I’m glad we are all in the same boat its nice knowing we are not alone. When you had your strapping off did the nurse not book the post op? When we are allowed to put bio oil on after 6 weeks iv also heard that Dematrix strips are really good, when I went to boots today the lady at the counter gave me this dematrix gel too and aparantly a lady was so pleased with it she came back in a week ago to tell the nurse that the scar had completely vanished 🙂

    Also why no shower? I was told after the strapping was removed i could shower? so I jumped in today, really worried now. So you havent showered at all since the op? how long were you told to wait?

    I think it’s normal Hun it’s just the nerve endings binding back together! I remember getting really sharp pains which took me back a little but they’ve reduced over time and my left feels great but my right a little sore still even at 8/9wks post op! It all takes time and is probably your body telling you to try and slow down a little bit 😉 x

    Yeah mine don’t hurt if I put on a bigger sports bra, think I’m just going through a stage where they are changing. Me and Polina didn’t go through Mya so we will have received different aftercare. I’ve been putting bio oil on my boobs from week 1 but won’t put it on my scars until 6 weeks.i. I might look into that dermatrix gel…thanks. Xx

    I ve checked dermatrix gel is about £30 in boots, but im sure we can find it cheaper online. I will also get silicone sheets like scaraway for my big scar, I heard really good reviews on those on youtube x 🙂

    Hey girls I had all my dressings removed 7 days post op! It’s amazing how quickly the incisions have heeled since then.. Now 12 days post op! I could have a proper shower from the 7 day check up, along as you don’t put soap or rub directly on the incision it’s fine to let the water run over your boobs.. Hope that makes sense!
    The Nurse also said not to get a proper bath.. Eg don’t soak your boobs in water!
    Hope this helps xxx

    Hi @lauren I think a quick shower and just try to avoid the incision area is best 🙂 make sure the area is dry afterwards.
    Have you had your 7 day check up yet?

    You have to continuously wear your sports bra for 6 weeks, day & night! To support your new boobies 🙂
    Once you have your 6 week check up your nurse/surgeon will inform you if you can start wearing bras xxx
