450cc go round unders on Tuesday- pain advice!

Hi peeps!

I had 450cc unders on Tuesday, so 2 days post op. Been a fantastic experience, everyone has been lovely and so far pleased and excited to see how my new boobs change. Love them already. However, the pain!!!! I wanted to see if others had the same pain…. basically lay in bed at an angle, extreamly tight in my chest and throbbing pains. Hardly lift my arms, if I move it’s agony but staying still is bareable.

Anybody else the same? Anything more than co-codemol? That’s all I was given and antibiotics. Anybody that’s was the same and now better… how long until you felt better?

It’s crazy painful to move, so just lay up in bed basically! Don’t get me wrong I’m so pleased and very worth it, just after some advice!

I had 500 and 550cc unders on the 12th and days 2 and 3 were the worst for me it felt so uncomfortable and like I could hardly breathe!! Cocodamol is great but does make you very constipated so paracetamol is also a good option. I was off painkillers after day 3 so you’ll be fine don’t worry! I was so worried about having unders having read horror stories about the pain on here but as well as cocodamol use ice packs they’re a lifesaver. best of luck with your recovery xx

Hey Maddie thanks for your message. I keep having nasty pain under my one arm pit when i move than stays for a few minuetes every time i move. Did you have anything like this? Im really hoping to feel better tomorrow, frightened to move currently!! Are you pleased with your results so far? xxx

Yes I had that! I think its muscle soreness due to your muscles being super tense after having unders and maybe also the strapping irritating it if you have strapping. I felt quite sore around the areas where I had my drains taken out. I think it’s totally normal though and nothing to worry about! I hope you start to feel a bit better soon – I remember thinking the first few days were a nightmare lol. Yes I’m very happy at the moment – the swelling has gone down and I’m 8 days post op and feel almost normal which is a relief after not being able to do anything for the first few days. I hope you have a great recovery Nikki and all this discomfort will definitely all be worth it in the end!! xxx

Nikki I’m having 375 unders Monday and nervous about the pain too – and I’ve had 2 kids. They’d not with me first hike if days so hope by Wednesday evening I’ll be okish…!

Hi – I had 400cc partials as well as an uplift on Sunday – pain was so so so bad but more muscle pain in my upper chest rather than anything else!! I couldn’t do anything for 3 days but today feeling much better. Hopefully you’ll be feeling better soon x

The pain with unders is horrible, I’m 6dpo now and I still feel sick with the pain, during the day it’s not too bad but at night it’s awful!! I feel sick, I feel like I can’t breathe and I just can’t sleep at all!! I hope it soon starts to get better, I’m worried if it’s normal and if anything has gone wrong or maybe my bra is too tight, I’m wearing M&S sports bra x

So I had my 375 unders on Monday and pain pretty bad so far. Lying propped i in bed is most comfortable but not sure if strapping is tight enough – had to loosen it myself last night cos I was in agony! Hopefully another night’s sleep makes a difference…

Hey guys!! I’m now 8dpo and now sooo so much better. Feel slightly tender, mainly just a bit itchy now. Such a relief to be part that awful first 4-5 days I would say then started improving.

Thing is now, I feel I an do things … I’ve done some washing and cleaning etc and then worry ill cause damage, but I feel comfortable enough. So worry now I shouldn’t do anything ???? But surely if no pain it’s ok?

Hey Jane,

How you feeling today? Day 3 for you now? I have to say by 4/5 it improves so much Hun. Xxxx

Hi Nikki,

I’m booked in on the 8th August to have 450cc unders!! Really nervous but so excited to have some boobs 🙂

Hope you’re recovery goes well xxx

I’m day 8 now and I feel great!! Can’t believe what a difference a few days makes!! It’s all so worth it! When your tired and in pain and swollen it makes you feel like it’s not but trust me it get so much better in just a few days!! Such a rollercoaster of emotions, make sure you wear a supportive bra and take it easy! X

Hi Nikki, slept well last night but was stuck in bed this morning – couldn’t move for the pain! Feel tiny bit better this afternoon but still in lots of pain so having a friend take my children for a sleepover tonight to give me extra time alone. Quite disappointed with MYA aftercare – no one has called, dontvhave a date for checkup and I’ve texted nurse as need to know if I’m wearing band properly. Thanks Nikki, suppose tomorrow is day 3 really so fingers crossed for recovery. How much did tiI move around? Trying to move some to prevent DVT but don’t our arms stiffen anyway if we’re too still?? Xx
