    I am new to all this but I am booked in for an uplift and implant on 16 April with Dr Karazzi and very nervous about the whole operation.

    However, I have my 30th birthday the week after surgery and wanted to understand what sort of pain/discomfort I will be in a week on…

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Mr Traynor, who are you? Xx

    Menu

    I am not a big drinker anyway so think I will cope with that side….when you say fragile – what do you mean?

    At what point could you drive?

    Do you have any piccies?

    Thanks Melissa998….had a look at your pictures and your boobs look fantastic!

    I have two small children and am starting to think I need to hire a nanny or someone to help me as I really didnt think that it would be this dibilitating…

    I am having 435 low profiles – are these smaller than yours?

    Thanks hun – no bigger!!! I had 360cc low profile unders! I was about a d/dd before tho!

    Yes, you definatly need some help, at least for the first week!xxx

    Deff think about getting help I only had a re-aug and couldn’t even lift a kettle after let alone look after kids etc. Plus you are having an uplift too. Its not as bad but don’t think you will be totally party able lol good luck though xx

    I had an uplift and 380cc low profile implants with Mr Kazzazi 6wks ago.

    You will def need help with kids. I have 3 children – a 10yr old, a 4yr old and an 18mth old, my husband was off work for first 2wks i dont think i could have managed without him during first week especially as you are not supposed to lift, even at 2wks my nurse told me to avoid lifting my youngest.

    I didnt drive until 14days post op and at 15 days post op i managed to drive 150miles and back again the next day.

    I wasnt really in pain, stiff and uncomfortable but not in pain tho i did take my pain killers and gradually lowered how many i took after about 5 days. I think i also over-reached for something with my left arm and pulled a muscle (hopefully thats all) which has slowed the process in my left side. xx

    Hi everyone just wondering if I can have a look at some before and after pictures with an uplift and implants. Mr Kazzazi has stated that I dont need an uplift just implants but im not so sure, he said im borderline but if I have a big implant (470 low profile unders)ill be fine xx

    Is there no way you could bring surgery a wk or so forward so you have abit more recover time before your party? Everyone is so different and maybe I could take you that little bit longer like some others and you only get one 30th so you want to enjoy it X

    I am 8 days post op,i also had an uplift and implants..in all honesty i had a really bad time the first 4 – 5 days…you really do need to rest as much as possible, i expected too much i think and it knocked me for six..i’m feeling a little better now but still have the post op blues and the pain has come back again as well!! I have my bandages off today which i am dreading as i had a look under them yesterday and have servere bruising…i’m not saying you will be as bad as i was hun but prepare yourself as its a big operation and you need to take the recovery period day by day xxx

    Be careful with being offered a bigger implant with out the lift, a few girls have been offered that n took it & a year later needed a uplift n cudnt afford it xx

    Hi girlies, I agree it’s a big operation and you need to take it day by day. I’d get help, but I was driving after a week, and felt back to normal within 2 weeks. I’m almost 3 weeks post op and in no discomfort at all apart from having sensitive nipples!!! Was sleeping on my side after a week and I had unders too… Wishing all of u the best of luck and happy healing xxx

    hey just saw the posts, I had 350 unders 8 days ago I have to agree with the majority the pain is ‘painfull’ you cant do much at all for the first 7 days I tried doing too much I think as the pain increases and your boobies tell you to stop! i only went out the house on day 4, today day 8 I actually feel fine in myself still sore but 50 times better than 2 days ago each day is different. Think with the uplift as well you will need to take it rwally easy as recovery will be longer. But shouldnt stop you partying, I had a few glasses of vino and it actually did me some good :-) happy healing xx

    Thanks for all your posts guys….I cant change my date so I am stuck with it but will just have to make the most of it I think…I mean my 30th that is…!

    I will request a couple of you if thats ok so I can see your piccies..

    I’m 4 days po now. Starting to feel myself a bit. Very tired but need less pain relief. I had implants and uplift. Husband supposedly helping me w my kids but to be honest he s not that great. Forgets things and needs instructions on everything. The girls are all q young so i m having to be careful and try not to do too much. Day by day tho it’s getting better xx
