    Hiya hun it depends what surgeon your having cause there all differnt but i had mr traynor last week and only had dressngs on no bandages :o) I had the dressings removed yesterday (1 week post op) and have got some fresh ones on which i am to keep on for 5 days. I think that would usually be it but because my implants are so heavy i have got to continue to wear tape on the incisions for a further 3 weeks :o) The stitches will most likely be dissolvable. Hope that helps xxx

    im not bad just a bit stiff still :o). this was my 3rd ba so pretty much knew what to expect. It did hurt me for a while starting the day after but i think thats because i had such a jump i went from a 525cc implant to a 1000cc so the skin really had to be stretched. My 2nd BA didnt hurt me atall!! It honestly isnt that bad atall its more frustrating and annoying wanting to be able to sleep lay down have a long soak in the bath etc but knowing u cant. When are u having yours done? what size? what surgeon :o) xxx

    getting rid of your old small bras is gonna be the best feeling!!! replacing them with nice big ones – ahhh!! :) i’ve gone from 34b to 32d-dd with a 410cc.

    Jenn21 – 1000cc – you go girl!! gosh i cant even imagine the strain and weight you will feel from them. i feel like a big pull on my chest each morning i get up and mine are not even half of your size!!

    all the best ladies x

    also forgot to mention, the stitches should dissolve… ask your surgeon which ones you will/have.
