Lift with 350 – advice needed 🙏

Hi Ladies,

I have been offered 325 with an uplift after breastfeeding and on reflection, I want to ask for 350.

I’m about a aa now, very flat, at my peak I was probably a c cup. I would be so grateful for advice and any pictures 🙏 I really want to get some curves back but don’t want to tip over 😂. I’m 5.5 and 54kg, I’m usually an 8.

Also any guidance on when I’ll realistically be able to push a buggy and bath a 2.5 year old would be much appreciated, so I can plan childcare.

Thanks x

Hi I’m 10 weeks post op lift and 300cc HP under muscle implants and the first few days was VERY painful for me to the point I couldn’t even cry or talk normally as any chest movement going up and down was so so painful!
Week 1 I could hardly move from my bed or talk as my chest was so so tight and also had to have help to go to the toilet as I couldn’t even pull my trousers down! I also didn’t realise when sleeping upright, through out the night I might have slipped down and when trying to get my self up I was in agony and had to get help from family to sit me up.
Week 2 was easier but I couldn’t lift anything heavy or put my hands above my head especially as I was worried about ruining my scars!
Week 3 I went back to work (office job) but wasn’t allowed to drive but I started to drive at week 4.

I do also have a very low pain tolerance and I’ve also seen a lot of girls say they was fine after surgery which is why I was so surprised at how much pain I was in but I would defiantly say 2 weeks minimum to have somebody at home with you and help with the kids.
Although the first 2 weeks was a struggle I am still so happy I’ve had it done and would do it again!! Sorry to scare you but not body told me how much pain I’d be in, I’m also still wearing a breast band and sleeping slightly upright. I think pushing a buggy would be okay after 2 weeks but not pulling anything heavy. Hope this helps xx

I agree with the comment above. I did not expect to have so much pain as all I had seen online was girls saying they were fine after and didn’t need pain meds etc. I thought I had quite a tolerable pain threshold but was not expecting how limited or how much pain I would be in. I had breast uplift with 250cc in one breast and 350 in the other (one was larger than the other, thank two kids for that lol). I am only one week post op and still petrified about moving around and splitting my incisions open etc, but I feel SO much better after a week already. The first four days I was exhausted, I’m so much pain, and just kept saying I don’t want them anymore I want them out lol, but I’m 8 days post op and just had my first post op apt and feel a lot better, still haven’t seen my incision scars yet and am very scared at what my nipples are going to look like but fingers crossed it all healed well. I couldn’t go to the toilet without help pulling my oants down, I found it painful to breathe in and cough yawn sneeze etc, sleeping sat upright and couldn’t get up myself without help, and then sleeping upright exhausts you because you don’t get much sleep and I then found I was getting a numb bum, I really recommend them V pillows as they have made sleeping so much more comfortable. I haven’t started driving yet but after my second week post op apt im going to see if I’m able to, as getting kids to and from school at the min is a nightmare without transport. You really do need someone with you for at least 2 weeks afterwards especially if you have a young child, my children are 7 and 11 and quite self sufficient so have been a lot of help for me with washing up, taking washing out machine for me, reaching things I can’t, letting dog out etc, and I’ve relied a lot on ordering take aways or microwave meals as I can’t cook yet lol, so I really suggest having someone there for you, you don’t realise how much you use your chest muscles, even opening/closing doors, pushing down on the toilet flusher etc were all really painful for me in the first 4/5 days. Finally feeling a bit more human now and hoping it’s worth it once they heal properly xx

I was also under the muscle and I think that is a big factor pain wise

Communicate your goals and concerns with your surgeon during your consultation. Be honest about what you hope to achieve slope and any fears or reservations you may have.
