Can people share reduce swelling advice please

Hi. Had my one week check up and all good other than I am still swollen. Healing well stitches pretty much healed and drain site all healed over. Just hoped some could share what’s worked in terms of reducing swelling. I’m sleeping upright. weakening sports bras 24 7 thank you

Anyone?

Ice packs, drink lots of water and also I’ve seen people mention taking arnica Montana or bromelain?? I don’t know what that is so I’d google it haha xx

Nikita have you done anything special for yours? I started on pineapple yesterday as read that helps! So please my stitches are healed but mine are still really swollen and sore but guess my implants were big considering I was small before so lots of stretching 🙁

not really I drink about 20 cups of green tea a day and about 3 litres of water also I’m a very big eater so I don’t know if maybe because I’ve eaten a lot of protein it’s helped me with recovery but also I can’t tell if mine are still swollen or not how do you know? Xx

My boobs are definitely still numb but I have feeling at the sides of them now up to my armpit. Do you ever feel like your boobs misplaced? When I lay back to sleep it feels like my left boob falls down the side also that’s the same implant that has air sounding bubbles and I can move it x

I don’t feel like that but I do get the air bubbles feeling in both but can see Lau on here did a bubble post so must be a common thing? When I had my c section they pumped air in to make sure everything was sewn together and no gaps so maybe the same and the air takes time to dissipate?

Hopefully I’ve put my self in to my tight Macom bra so my boobs don’t slide to my armpit, the nurse couldn’t help so she’s going to get the surgeon to give me a call thank god xx

Pineapple juice!!! Trust me! I started mixing mine with mineral water though as its so sweet. I drank a glass an hour. Pineapple contain bromelian or something. It’s really good for sore throats too who’s they swell fx

🙁 hope he can help does it feel by hand like it’s moving as well? Fran thank you bought Loads of pineapple! Thankfully I love the stuff 🙂

Be careful of the green tea tho babe cos it’s packed with caffeine! I was seeing a guy he drank 7 cups a day for a week and nearly ended up on hospital! Fx

Hi jules, surgeon phoned me he said it’s common that people get air trapped behind their implants, he said it should pass by the next week and also having the air trapped my implant could move abit (which it is) so to keep a sports bra on. I’ve put my tight Macom on to hold me in place lol. I’m seeing him next Friday for my 2WPO he said to call the secretary on Tuesday… do you know if your having a 2w appointment as your travelling far? Xx

No not having a 2 week appointment. Good he’s going to look you over and can reassure you. The ahocknabsorber I wear is well fitter if you need another alternative option too xx

How thick are they? My matalan is a thin cotton bra here’s a pic and my Macom is really weird texture and tight but also hides tops of my boobs which I don’t like. Where is your from? Xx

I got mine from amazon I have a photo but it’s me early days one sec

I’m being super lazy because I’m wearing the bra at the moment lol but I’m comfy on the sofa with a cup of tea but this is the bra

That looks really comfortable! Does it have padding? I’m going to need to get a sports bra with a bit of padding for when I go back to work as I’m a mechanic so my thin sports bras won’t cut it. I need a bit of protection between me and the cars lol xx

It’s kind of double fabric if that makes sense. You could always put a padded insert in that you get for padded bras. Would easily a lot in? They come in all sorts of colours. I just got this one as was reduced and a funky colour lol
