5 days post surgery – Dr Fiumara Started by: Erin

Hi Hun, I had Dr Firmara on the 30th Jan! I had 325 mod plus unders and at the moment I do have a gap – but Iv never had cleavage anyway! I wouldn’t say it’s a massive gap, but once hey drop and fluff I am sure it will even out. At the minute they are high on my chest and quite square!!! It’s worrying me a little bit everyone is reassuring me that they will drop and take shape.
Do you have strapping or a breast band? I didn’t think Linda used strapping. I just have a Macom and woke up with a breast band on.
I’m 5/6 days post opp (it’s 00:43 so technically I will be 6days post op) and I would say the pain is defiantly a lot better. I had 7days of antibiotics and 5days pain meds, but I had to stop taking the cocodamol as it was making me projectile vomit so had to switch to paracetamol. Day 4 was by far the absolute worst for me! I was close to tears and my back in agony! The top of my back inbetween my shoulder blades was hell and I couldn’t settle and was so frustrated I wanted to cry. Woke up then yesterday (pod5) and felt very mobile, I managed to make my self breakfast and have a shallow bath, I even went out for a few hours with my mum, but felt like I over did it because I felt sore then. I came back and had a sleep and then felt ok again. I made my self some supper and watched TV. I felt a lot more comfortable. Certainly lifting my self up has become less heavy on my chest. Although I would say tonight is the worst night sleep Iv had as the top of my back is hurting again and I can’t for the life of me do anything about it :-(.
Iv seen some girls on here really struggle with unders and some seem to be perfectly fine! My friend had 400cc unders in October and she had no pain what so ever!! We all heal differently Hun.
Hope you feel a lot better soon. If you need anything I’m happy to try and answer some questions of my own experience xxx

AS to reaching for things and dressing yourself – ive got things that button up or zip up ready .. just put on my pj top by putting over the shoulders then one arm then the other. I find can use arms as long as not stretching high. nearly fell down stairs n moved arm and got a sharp pain .. that made my heart jump x Cant wait to take these stockings off now there so hot – my doc said the glue used to seal incisions on me is water proof but would need two to do bra back up and im scared .. so not gona try that for a while .. will shower down below if i can or just bed bath x

I had Linda for my surgery also, during my surgeon consultation she advised me that if I had a natural gap between my breast pre op then the gap would remain the same, during the first few weeks of recovery the gap was quite closed due to swelling, I’m now 12wpo & the gap has now settled back to how it was orignally, possibly a little closer than pre op, I had mod plus implants which I’m guessing Linda used due to my natural gap & the fact that they are slightly wider, add me for pics if you’d like to see 🙂

I had 375 HP (originally I was having 350 mod+) with Dr Fiumara last Monday. Also wearing a breast band as well (arggghhhhh) I tend to get boob cramp, but really only in my right boob – it’s a killer!!!
Day 4 was my worst day. It was horrible – so painful.

I have my first post op visit today with the nurse.

I had my first post op last friday day 7 and the nurse told me to wear macom to bed and sports bra in the day or for a change .. I think all seem to say differet things, but this is what I have been doing (ms high impact sprts bra) to be honest it doesnt feel much different to the macom x I dont think front or back fastening makes much diff, but i did have or try an other the head one today .. n took off and flippin killed my arms gettin over the head as was tight x- I had 350 dual plane too and today my right boob been sort of tingly sore sort of down the side x
