hi there jenna!! i too had uplift and implant!! i have mine done 14th september and id say around 4 weeks later i felt fine! and my scars were starting to heal and fade. and 4 weeks after that i wore my first underwire bra.
the moment your scabs have healed a bit start using bio oil and you wont believe how quick they fade.
you will be fine!! after about 4 weeks, they do hurt a tiny bit, mainly around the scarring, which itches loads, which is a good sign they are healing. but once 8 weeks is up, you feel loads better. i had my bandages on around 2-3 weeks! at first you have a plaster over your nipples and underneath!! so you are quite covered!! but 2 weeks later they put small stickers plasters on the scars then a week after that you pull them off yourself!! but it does go through you doing it!! i kept thinking i was guna rip my nipple off in the process ha ha !! but it was fine! you will be very suprised at how thin the scars are!! my left breasts scars are nearly gone! its amazing! im so happy!
if you check out sofem and put in usename janey22 and password boobies you will see my boob job and uplift pics.
i was a saggy 34b and had 340cc and now a 32e! good luck with your op !! xxxxx
