    Can anyone advise what the pain is like after an uplift only/slight reduction? I’ve read loads about what people feel like after a BA but just wondering what it’s like after an uplift?
    My pre op is next tues and I’m booked in for an uplift with a slight reduction to my left breast. Really just want to know what it’s gonna be like, how much I going to be able to do for myself? Will I have to stay in bed the full time I’m off work or will I be able to do some stuff? Any help or advise is appreciated.. Also any info on any creams I need to start using for scars? Thanks

    I had the exact same, uplift with slight reduction to my left. Everyone is different I personally felt very little pain, more stiffness when moving and anticipating pain than anything else. I was advised to take the pain killers to stop the pain before it happened but had to stop taking them after the second day as they made me feel nauseous all the time. I took paracetamol when I felt discomfort from then on but the pain was minimal, accidental knocks and forgetting I was healing and maybe moving too quickly were the only times I felt anything. I spent the first day in bed when I got home but after that I was fine to go out and go back to normal (ish) make sure you eat as I felt faint as I wasn’t eating very much. I was advised to use kilocote, more expensive for the small bottle, I stopped using after a month I’m quite happy with the stage my scars are at but they will never fully go. Sorry for the long message anything else I’d be happy to answer, everyone is different though I guess x
