Hi hun, I’m getting my strapping off on Friday, I think everyone’s different and depends how you cope with it I guess, I’m 4 days post op and wouldn’t dream of going back to work just yet, I still feel like my incisions are going to open every time I get off the sofa! Lol I had drains, but they we’re taken out about an hour after the surgery :-/ my left boob is completely fine, but my right is reeaally swollen and burning around the incisions. I did ring but apparently this is normal, I suggest just take it really easy to give the swelling a chance to go and the nurse will tell you how your doing tomorrow 🙂 xx
