Post op

Hey girls , been told I can’t lift my arms above my chest for 6/8 weeks post op. Just wondering how people who’s had the surgery find putting a top over your head? As I’m back in work 2 weeks post op and have to get changed to and from work .

I had mine last Sunday and can almost move my arms as before. Just need to take it easy for the incisions heal nicely.

I can put my hair up etc no problem.
Hope that helps xx

That’s brilliant , thanks for your help . I was worried I wouldn’t be able to put a top on or wash my hair myself xx

The first couple of days were a lot harder.
I recommend a button up shirt.
But by day 3/4 I was feeling so much better. A week in an it just feels like i over did arm/chest day at the gym 😋

Did you have over , under or partial may I ask , and who was your surgeon xx

Hey
I went under the muscle which restricted movement a lot! For the first 10 days I wasn’t risking it and didn’t lift my arms- my partner helped me wash my hair and brushed it. I would suggest getting a few button up shirts, t shirts, dresses etc. I’m 3 weeks post op now and I’m way more comfortable
