Advice POST OP

Hey girls,

I’m 6 days post op and had my bandages off yesterday. Although I am happy with the size I feel as though they are so stuck on… How long did it take to feel apart of your body? I know it’s early days but they are still quite high, hard and sore to touch although not feeling 100% touching them…. Very bizzare, I’m sure the sore and tenderness is totally normal and I’ll gradually get the feeling back properly….

Just wanted to know roughly how long it took for them to feel a soft and look more natural?

Feeling a bit blue about it right now 🙁 I’m just impatient I’m sure.

Thanks girls xxx

IF YOU HAD UNDERS I THINK THEY TAKE LONGER, I HAD OVERS AND MINE ARE SETTLING MORE EACH DAY, IM 9 DAYS POST OP. sorry for capitals x

Hi Aimee I had 410cc unders I’m 4 weeks po today mine looked like that when I had my bandages removed I didn’t like them one bit I regretted having them done plus my left one was massive compared to my right got really upset with my self but the nurses and mr kazzazi said its just swelling and will go down but no I love them they are settling really nicely coming together it’s still early days for me but they will only get better just give it time for them to settle and soften and you will love themxxxx

Mine felt like that amiee, its normal! they feel like rocks and not a part of you, not to mention the shape of them :/ mine looked like cones the first week! im 20days PO now and they’ve only just started softening, and they feel like a part of me 🙂 they will get better each day and you will start to love them soon! just try not to look at them too much if you dont like them yet, cos they will change soooo much 😀 xxx

Thanks girls, I know I’m just being impatient… Cant wait for them to get soft now, I love the size of them so I think I will love them more and more each day. Thanks for your replys 🙂 Glad you’re all loving your new assets!!! xxx

U will just wake up 1 day and they will feel normal, I’m 9 mths po and could do it all again 🙂 xx

I could have written this..I said to my fiance today that they dont feel like mine and touching them feels odd spesh since they are numb so weirds me out. They are still sore and solid and far apart. However i did just try on some clothes to see how they look and most look so nice with new boobies. But deffo not anything with a v neck as i just have ribs, no cleavage at all! :/
Must be normal though, we are only 2 days apart in healing and think had a similar size so would be interesting to see how ours heal x

@minisha bless ya, I am a bit better with it now, I know it just takes time. You will have a lovely cleavage I’m sure once you have the right bras on and they are softer! Who done your op? Mine arent massively far apart, feel free to add me if you want to look at my pictures hun. Hope it doesn’t take 9 months for that magic moment!! haha. I am happy with size etc as I’ve said I just want them to be softer and feel like mine, I get what you mean about them feeling odd to touch mine at too. The muscle on top is quite sore but I had partials so I am guessing that is totally normal as it is probably all brusied inside still!! xx

Think we are already friended on here. I had 285 cc HP partials and skin feels sore to touch kinda like sunburn on the top of boobs. Get plasters off today so will ask at same time if they are meant to feel so sore to touch lol Im sooooo impatient! Yours look such a good size on you 🙂 x

Ahh sorry!! Are yours bandaged up like mine were? Mine feel bruised at the top… Not sure if sports bras are supposed to be tight and holding the boobs in really tight to the middle or just there to support, do you? Good luck with your post op appointment today xx

Im the same I was unsure why the purpose of the sports br was for asmim ll swollen and sore around my cleavage and the sports bra I have is quite low cut. X

Mine are tender but the bras I have just support them but where they sit, not pushing them in at all or anything… Any girls that can shed a light it would be appreciated? If I need to push em in and together think I better go buy another bra maybe…. xx

Hi Aimee my sports bra does the same just supports then but I’ve been out a couple of time and asda has a really nice post surgery bra in its 6 pound I use that for wen I go out and it does push them together I don’t know if I’m meant to wear it but I do and it’s not for long as soon as I’m back home I put my sports bra back on lol xxx

Haha I don’t mind if I have cleavage while heeling as such just not sure what is best… Maybe I should go home from work Via Asda today hmm xx

I just got one of those asda £6 bras as someyhibg to relax in when macom is being washed. Just had appointment and asked nurse about bras and she said its about keeping pressure on boobs to increase bloodflow to area. My stitches had healed so well i dont need anything over them and can shower! Yayyy lol x

Hi girls.. Hope your boobs are settling down more now. My boobs felt like they were literally strapped onto me for a good two weeks. At two weeks they then started feeling squishier and now at 4 weeks they just feel like part of my body. It’s strange. I didn’t even realise that they’d stopped feeling alien.. I had my op a month ago today and they already feel like normal boobs. I actually can’t believe how soft they are for implants! So give it a few weeks and one day you’ll just think ‘oh, they feel normal’ .. Or better yet, you can’t feel them coz they feel like part of you 🙂 happy healing ladies x

Have you got any pics? Can I add you? I’m 2 week on Thursday

So glad I’m not the only one feeling like this! When I first woke up they looked ace then they have swelled loads! And so sore, but my scars look good, my surgeon used internal stitches and glue so I can shower and bath straight away. So glad it’s done now though and I think I just need to be patient with the healing x

Mine are getting softer now and dont feel bruised… gradually feeling more normal to me and I can finally shower tonight! Tried on a few new clothes which I feel so much better in that I would of 2 weeks ago! I think its just natural to feel that way when you can do nothing but sit there… Sleeping up a bit is still annoying, anyone know how long you have to do this for?? @charbabe yeah I do have pics, you can add me! How are yours feeling? xx

aimee88 mine are nice an soft much better then i thought they were going to be! i can have a shower too today i sooo cant wait.lol
About sleeping up right the nurse told me 2 weeks, How r u sleeping? i find it still very uncomfortable sleeping!!! Thats the only bit so far that i havent enjoyed about the whole thing is sleeping, coz b4 my op i loved my sleep.lol. x

Getting my op tomorrow and have a few questions ! How long do the big tapes/bandages that I’ve seen in people’s pics have to stay on? And do you have to go back to the hospital or ur mya clinic to have them taken off before your post op check at a weeks after? How is the v pillow meant to work? I tried mine out and i still end up sleeping flat with it! And lastly do the hospitals have wi-fi? Just wondering whether to take my laptop as I’m overnight stay. If any one can help,Thanksss 🙂 cxxxxx

@Boobiess!!! I love my sleep too, loved sleeping on my front which is obviously a no no for the time being, not sleeping great and its making my back hurt but other than that I’m okay… boobs are getting softer each day but by no means are they soft yet!! Up to 6 weeks are the main changes but I bet in a year we’ll be shocked as just how soft they will be 🙂 still early days for us at the moment! Yay for showers though! Have you been lifting your arms above your head yet? Just wondering for washing my hair in the shower reasons haha….

@lizzi85 The bandages stay on until your post op appointment! V Pillow I put on top of some other pillows but thats cause mines small, just make a mini mountain of pillows with that on top until you feel comfy in that position… one reason your sitting a bit is so that your less likely to roll over, I really thought I would but havent, think your just aware of your boobs… I was at Highgate and they had Wifi there not sure about other hospitals! Good luck with your day!! let us know how you get on xxx
