3DPO pain and swelling… happy with size :)

Hi everyone,

So I am 3DPO now, my surgery was Thursday . Finally had my first bath today and my mum washed my hair for me . Felt SO good!!!!
My pain this morning was absolutely awful I think because I slept for a solid 8 hours when I woke up and got out of bed my muscles went crazy! Other than that, pain has been slightly improved all day.

Still pretty much bed bound but I can atleast get myself up now and walk about. Just can’t wait to feel back to normal and enjoy having boobs!!

My breasts are still realllly really swollen and tight. I’ve been trying to lightly tickle them and massage them as this apparently will soften them up?? I duno, but it is really relaxing!

The worst thing is definitely just my huge bloated stomach!! I haven’t been to the loo since surgery and I sear my stomach is the size of a bowling ball! I feel so so unnatractive!

Haven’t taken photos of them since D1PO as I don’t want to judge them till they’ve settled… otherwise I know I’m going to start thinking about the right size, shape blah blah!

My only concern is I hope when they drop and fluff they look bigger cus right now they don’t look how I imagined them! They are only 225cc tho!

If any ladies out there have small implant sizes I’d really appreciate some photos to give me some encouragement!

They look lovely, you must be over the moon with them 🙂 x

They look perfect on you Hun! Happy healing xxx

Hi hun,

I had 250cc and 275cc, when I first came out of surgery my skin was so tight and they looked TINY, like honestly so small, but I promise after a week or so once your swelling goes down you’ll have more definition. It wasn’t until my two week check up that they started to drop and lay nicer on my chest, which I think made them look bigger. Just make sure you get plenty or rest and you eat lots of protein as this helps (and I think speeds up) the healing process! There’s some pictures on my profile if you are worried, just shows you how much they change.

Good luck lovely, happy healing xx

Ah thank you so much girls! I am pleased with them. .. just very impatient for them to drop into place and soften up! At the moment they are like hard rocks!!!

@liz I’ve just had a look at your photos!! Wow wow wow they are SO beautiful! They are absolutely stunning you must be so pleased!! I hope mine look like yours!
I’ve been trying to eat loads of protein as I heard this speeds up the heeling and I’ve been laying off the junk food!
Agh! Yours are so nice!! They are such a perfect size on you! Makes me excited for mine to settle down!
What are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

How are your scars doing? And how far are you now? Are you feeling back to normal now?

Xxxxx

Thank you so much! It’s such an emotional rollercoaster, one day you love them the next you hate them! I’m 5ft8 but I’m extremely underweight, around 7st 10 atm, usually a size 4/6. I wore a 32B before but I’m pretty sure I was actually an A. I think they do suit my frame but every now and then I get depressed and wish I went bigger! But I promise you the feeling does go, I think it should important to remember what you started off like!

I’m feeling fine, I didn’t experience much pain, I think this might be because I had smaller implants. For me the worst days were the first 3 days, after that I was fine! I went back to work after a week. I’ll upload a picture of my incisions on my profile, they seem to be healing really quickly, yay!

Did you get unders or overs? Once your muscles start to relax you’ll notice them changing shape, don’t be put off by the results too early on! You look great though hun, you should be really really happy xxx

I’m 3WPO today btw 🙂 xx
