how to you get rid of the dreeded morning boob?? they seem to be getting worse in the morning, although getting up is much easier. im day four post op today. and also when did you all take you itchy plasters off? i keep picking at mine as they get itchy and wondered if i should just take them off or take off and replace?? xx
Morning boobs is part and parcel of the healing process honey,it will go eventually,I would leave the plasters as they are honey,let the nurse remove them,they must be annoying been itchy,but best not let anything touch your incisions,the nurse will be able to advise honey.xx
I havent had the morning boob thank god but the itching all over is dricing me potty. My plasters are peeling up at the edges so im not sure what i shoudl do either. Sorry cant be pf hekp but your not alone lol
Leave the plasters alone girls lol itching is good means there healing
I’m 15 day po & feel great mind u if I do alot in a day I do ache a bit but I’ve it time your be fine xxx
What is Mornin boob? When they feel really stiff and a bit sore when you get up? X
yea thats morning boob, when they are so tight, stiff and sore, it seems to be taking longer for it to subside now, think its because im doing more though, so going to have a whole day on the sofa doing nothing at all 
its so hard to leave them alone, can i not replace them with smaller ones so the incisions are still kept clean and stuff? i can cope with the itchy proper boobs, but the plaster itch is soooo annoying xx
Morning boob is normal hun, mine lasted until 2.5 weeks I think! for me it was the pain in my incisions when I first got up rather than the stiffness of my boobs x
I’m been suffering with this I’m day 7 po. I haven’t heard anyone mention this before so this has put my mind at ease. I had my strapping off yest and it seemed even more painful this morning in just a bra, think its a waiting game isn’t it x
its annoying isnt it charlotte?! i get mine whenever i stop and do nothing, and worse in bed, as i creep down to snuggle into the fella, everything else is a breeze though xx
Yeah I’m exactly the same and it really hurts, I dread it every morning! Iveonly just been able to lean a bit into my fella! The things we do for beauty hey! I’m glad I’m not alone though, I’d never heard anyone mention it before x
I know! It’s the best thing (apart from child birth) I’ve done, and I deffo wouldn’t change it for the world, but the morning boob, I could live without. I thought I could hack the sleeping up ok, but unless I’m on the sofa I move down, joe is in the habit of waking up when I’m snuggling in and helps prop me back up now.
What size did u get hun and when?! Xx
Yeah to be honest I tried the sleepin upright but I couldn’t do it and by day 4 I was sleeping on my back normally again as I just got the worst back ache! I’m 8 days po now, I had 505 low profile overs you? I love them! Just such a long healing process lol I can’t wait to lay on my side! I always do so it’s hard to try and stop myself lol x
Ive had my first morning boob…………think you all jinxed me lol!! I slept a bit more on my back last night and when i got up omg it was like i was breastfeeding again.
On another note has anyone tried sleeping sidways? if not dont bother its very strange it all moves to the side and you kinda feel you have to lean other way to correct it lol
Aw Sam I love sleepin on my side as well but I daren’t lol. How long do you have to wait to do it? I’ve had morning boob since day 2
lol x
My advice from hospital was deffo first 48 hours then keep shoulders raised if possible so guess I could anytime but if last night was anything go by I’ll be sticking to sleeping on my back
awww sam i feel bad for you getting morning boob… its bad isnt it?! i crept down in bed again last night, and it wasnt so bad this morning, tonight im sleeping on the sofa to combat it, plus the fella needs to stop at one of our pubs and i always sleep on the sofa when he isnt here.
my advise on sleeping upright was at least a week, then raised shoulders after for a few weeks xx
Hey girls, i had mine done over 4 years ago and id say it takes few weeks till u are totally discomfort free, etc, esp if u wear a push up bra, tight top, and stuff cos the morning boob crops back up! But you will get to a point where they feel so much like your own boobs you will wonder what it felt like in the beginning!xx
