Honestly think it depends on your current size, general body muscle strength, whether your implants going under or over the muscle, size of the implant…… I had 280cc under the muscle and had basically nothing before and have found the pain the most bearable part of it all, got myself dressed in a t shirt on the day of the op and the only thing that I’ve struggled with is sitting up and opening heavy doors but I’ve read some people struggle to brush their teeth… so it really does depend!! For me the worst part was the sickness and feeling like death a couple of days after but it passes! Good luck it is so worth it. 🙂
