Pain after enlargement

Hey everyone,

I had 350cc unders on Monday and after reading everyone’s stories and following IG accounts I was expecting very minimal pain and to be up and out with my 2 year old a few days post op.

However I wanted to share that this was not the case for me, the pain I experienced immediately after was the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life and lasted all the to the end of day 5 (I would have rather given birth three days in a row than gone through this).
I couldn’t even get out of bed on my own, I could hardly speak even breathing hurt. I was given morphine at hospital and released with muscle relaxers and codrydamol but nothing eased the pain. Day 5 was the first day I was able to get up and walk about the house on my own and was the first day I was able to take my bra off and look at my breasts, I am now 7 days post op and still can’t move my arms and haven’t left the house yet but I have finally come off my pain medication.

I spoke to the nurse throughout this journey and they explained the pain was normal. I just wanted to let people know my experience as if I would have read something similar I would not have gone through with the surgery.

Maybe my experience is rare but I thought it best to share!

Hey!

I had the exact same experience after my breast augmentation 3 months ago .. I went from a small B to a 500cc under muscle and I was in absolute agony for 2 weeks I couldn’t even sit up, had to get my little girl watched longer than I wanted to as I was unable to do anything at all! It did get a lot better after the 2nd week had past but it still feels tender for about a month after.

Funnily enough I said the exact same thing that I would rather give birth every day than go through that pain ever again!

You should try ice packs when the pain is bad that helped me a lot! Don’t worry though the pain will be over soon and you’ll slowly love your new boobs 😊

Oh girls I’ve just had mine done today, back home now and nobody could of prepared me for this pain, I’m in agony. I’ve just been given paracetamol and ibuprofen but there not even touching the sides.

My right boob is so swollen it’s making my arm ache so much. I cannot wait til this pain eases off, it is hands down the worst pain/most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt 😫 xx

I had my operation yesterday and I am in excruciating pain, when I first woke up I was in tears for hours on end because no pain relief is touching. I’ve even had to change my post op bra to another which helped but I’m still in so much pain. I had 375 under muscle but the pain is so bad that it’s making me not be able to breathe and making me feel sick I never realised it would be this pain full because most people have said about it being a bit uncomfortable but manageable with pain killers but nothings working and I’m not sure I can take this it is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life
